Thanks for all the reads and the constructive comments. And I wanted to thank the biggest fan of this script - Stevie - for his enthusiastic review... (0:
Hey, what I can I say? Sorry for the gore. This is where the parameters led me.
I didn't think the dialogue was as bad as everyone thought; the original plot was going to be Alexis and Bear live streaming to their followers, which would have changed the dialogue significantly. However, the more research you do, the more you realize that live streaming from an underground location is impossible without a signal boost... (so yeah, PK, Jordan would have been knocked out and not so repetitive).... hence the Batman / villain type exchanges.
As for the names (and the dialogue), I wrote Alexis as a flamboyant non-binary artist who's gone a bit mental during the pandemic... And yes, my male teammate's name is Jordan, so I thought I'd have a little fun. Shame on all of you for labeling! (0:
I tend to write polarizing scripts, and I swing for the fences each time I sit down to tell a story. Hey, Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times in his career.
At its core, this is a commentary on the really bad places people can go to if this country continues to go to shit...
thanks again -
