So I've been on a Miles Morales kick lately, and I fully blame the recent video game release for that.
So I was thinking after watching clips from Into the Spiderverse (ItSV), that what I'd love to see, would be another Into the Spiderverse film, but focused on Gwen. And as an extra layer, have the multi-dimensional stuff evolve a bit to be more like Sense8.
Since Gwen's character flaw as established in ItSV, is that she's isolated herself from attachments to people. Due to grief over losing a friend, and as a defense mechanism to prevent future pain. So I think it would be really neat to have the crux of her story, be about her opening up more(it's hinted at in ItSV, but not fully realized as it's not her film), and actually becoming someone with connections to the rest of the world. And have that struggle manifest in the story, via an internal multi-verse connection beginning to manifest.
Basically run the first half of the film, as basically the first several episodes of Sense8, where she randomly has hiccups where she's experiencing someone else's reality, or they bleed into hers. I had a funny idea for a scene where she's at a restaurant or whatever, and is sitting at the bar getting food, feeling morose and depressed, and the bartender comes up to her to take her order. They ask "what can I getcha?" And suddenly, the scene goes black and white around her, and Nicolas Cage's voice bleeds in saying something like "Whiskey, enough whiskey to drown out the sorrows of a thousand lifetimes of regret." Cue sad jazz saxaphone, wind sounds, rain, the works. Then Gwen blinks and shakes it off, and the bartender just looks at Gwen like "um...I'm gonna have to see your ID first." Cut to shots of her bleeding into Peter B's life, possibly in the middle of a domestic nightmare for him, like crazy children and mid diaper change or something. Hilarity ensues.
Ultimately, the villain is...whatever I don't really have that part fleshed out, and it's honestly not that significant to what's going on in my head, as the crux is Gwen's development. But have it be some kind of multiverse attack, that can threaten all the realities or something. The various Spiderpeople culminate in a flickering battle with the villain, splicing in moments where Gwen is replaced by the other Spiders, as they help her fight. It's still physically her, but she's tapping into their varied skill set of combat, to keep the villain off balance. That by the end, they've basically developed a way to mind meld, similar to the various characters from Dune, that were a hive mind. But in this case, it's something they can turn on/off if they wish.
The shot of the climax is from the viewpoint of the villain, on the ground, looking up at Gwen, as she rises to her feet after some finishing move. As she rises, the flickering of the other Spiders make the shot a collage of all of them, rising together in defiance of him. Then they finish with a statement, echoed by all of them at once, and the voice tracks are given a stentorian, echoing effect, as they declare to him, that New York is THEIRS, and if ANY of them threaten it, they will face ALL of them. And thinking that, I just thought it would be neat for the villain to be part of some group of villains, across the multiverses perhaps, thus why Gwen and the others make the declaration, to all of them. "Fuck with New York, you fuck with Us, and we will Fuck You Up." , to try and prevent similar stuff in the future.
Resolution, Gwen is able to open up again in her own reality, establish friends and relationships, and also confident in the knowledge that no matter what, she's got the rest of the Spider cluster with her, whenever she needs them.
So yeah, that's my short version script summary of what I'd like to see with another Spiderverse film.
So what film ideas would you like to see that are basically just a fan fiction script in your head, but you think would be awesome?
