The Thing By Mike Deodato Jr.
Dresden Codak’s X-MEN REBOOT
The Premise - I wanted to make an X-Men reboot that plays to the strength of the concepts, namely growing up as a teenager, dealing with those who are different and how to deal with those who hate you. The primary change in my setting is that the mutations have a clear sci-fi foundation rather than just being random superpowers. Mutants being “the next stage in human evolution” was biologically dubious in the 60s, and now it’s just corny. Additionally, I think the X-Men premise only really makes sense in a setting without other superheroes. With that in mind, here’s my pitch…
Wow, Tony. He’s only going to get milk.
I’ve been cursed with a baby face and I always forget that until it comes time to shave (or I kill the beard on accident)
Hey Dad
I don’t know.. This is disturbing.. Don’t Polar Bear Dad’s eat their cubs if they have a chance?? That’s why they always have their mum with ‘em, so dad won’t have that chance.. :|
