There are many cartoon shows that started with low reception but grew an audience over time. Why did you not join that audience and stay on the hate train?
Hephaestus and Aphrodite were not included because some stories have them not be directly related to Zeus. Some myths have Aphrodite as born from sea foam, and some have Hephaestus born from Hera on her own without a father.
I have autism and ADD. A problem that I've had at points in my life is saying or doing things that I come to regret later. One example is that when I was taking a creatuve writing class in college, my teacher mentioned she enjoyed She Hulk: Attorney At Law, which I hadn't watched myself but heard bad things about online, and I argued she only liked it 'cause she's a white woman, but another student said "what does that have to do with anything?" And I just replied "I have no idea" and stopped talking. I only apologized to the teacher by emailing her well after class had wrapped up, and while she accepted my apology and we were on good terms after that, I still think back on how dumb I feel for doing that when I go to sleep at night sometimes.
I'm transferring to a university in August, and I don't want to do something that stupid again. So if anyone else has had those moments and was able to deal with them, could you give me some advice?
I've never played dnd, I've played BG3, but I know that's not the same thing. I'm transferring to a new college in a few months, and I'm thinking of joining or forming a group to play with. Any advice for a beginner?
Don't be boring and say "because they were written by different people," have some fun once in a while.
I bought Final Draft 13 to write scripts on. The problem is I feel overwhelmed by my own lack of experience with scripts. I'm going to Illinois State University in a few months to study film and get some experience and confidence to be a professional screenwriter. Should I wait 'til then to use Final Draft? I bought it outright, I didn't pay for a monthly subscription, so should I just let it sit for a while until I know what I'm doing?
Do you think there's potential, or is it just not worth it you you?
I've had this idea for a film based on Greek myth in my head for a while now, but I haven't shared mych about it because I'm not used to sharing my ideas with people. But, just to have it out there, I'm just gonna rip off the band aid and give what I have for plot right now.
When Zeus was recovering from his first fight with Typhon, fearing the possibility of death, he removed his soul from his body so he wouldn't fully die. After he was patched up by Hermes and Pan and defeated Typhon the second time around, he forgot about his soul and didn't go tracking it down, so his soul wandered the Earth for a while until Hermes came across it and, not knowing it was Zeus's, guided it to the Underworld, where it was sentenced to reincarnation and now inhabits a young woman in modern Greece.
Alexis Chronopoulos, or just Alex, is a 19 year old woman working as a housekeeper for a struggling casino in Litochoro. Alex is not an easy person to get along with, as a patron or a coworker, due to having a sarcastic (albiet very low witted) personality, and a fairly wrathful demeanor about her. She's gotten into a fight a few times, once with a disrespectful manager, and once with a annoying customer. She's been written up both times and now she's only getting hours a week for the morning shift before the casino opens. One day during a thunderstorm, while she's outside taking out trash and complaining to herself, she's almost hit by a lightning bolt but manages to catch it in her hand before letting go from shock and making it hit the wall.
This gets the attention of Zeus, who had ordered all the Gods and beings of myth to not interact with humanity since Christianity made its way to Greece, as a way to spite the growing religion and see how humanity squirms without their presence, and hasn't lifted that order since due to his own stubborness. He senses what Alex did with that bolt, and puts together that she must have his lost soul. Now, he doesn't actually need his soul back for anything, he's immortal after all, but now that he knows where it is and that someone other than him has it, and to avoid the embarrassment of the other Gods finding out he let his soul go and why he did it, he wants it back.
So, attempting discretion from both humanity and his fellow Olympians, he sends down a few Gods disguised as people to find Alex and bring her to him, telling them it's to bring a rogue Goddess back to him to punish her disobedience, but really just intends to take his soul back, anyway he can, regardless of if Alex will survive the process.
And that's what I got for story so far. Let me know what you think!
I have an idea for a superpowered thriller movie about a deaf man unwillingly given an experimental brain implant that gives him an unnatural sort of hearing. The implant's stuck in the "selective" setting, which makes him only able to hear his own external and internal bodily noises, as well as one thing that he focuses on, which could include a vehicle se sees pass by, the voice of someone he's looking at, and the voice of a person he's thinking about, even if that person is far outside of what would be an average hearing range. He only speakes sign language and doesn't understand spoken language, so when someone speaks to him, he doesn't get what they're saying, it's practically jibberish to him.
Context out of the way, I'm wanting to portray selective hearing here in a semi-realistic way, even with the very science fictiony set up, and I don't know how I could get that across in a script. Any advice?
