Connor Bible: Here's how I see it: we open with a helicopter fly over shot of Janus City, Illinois, while Frank Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon plays.
Annnnd I'm out.
To be honest, I actually prefer the opening of
Shinji SHAUN Sean getting ready for school and giving a minor introduction to his powers. I liked him seeming a little peeved at the power incontinence since it opened up some characterization and told us this is a regular occurrence for him much like waking up with a zit on your nose would be.
Don't go for movie stuff. Really, don't.
I think Connor should work on giving Alphaboy some emotional weaknesses. I mean, edgy Kryptonite "dark rocks" and "anti-Alphamatter" make for a dramatic fight scene, but it'd be cool to see Zauzer, who's physically weaker, fight back mentally against Alphaboy. Teenagers are basically walking piles of instabilities, right? Play off how those are reflected in his abilities.
I agree.
EDIT: no more powerleveling
Seriously, give Sean/Alphaboy some actual vices and insecurities, something that isn't necessarily physical. Especially since he's a teenager. It'd make him more relatable, which is what you want. You shouldn't try to go for the coolest thing ever; you should aim for what's relatable. That helps make it more memorable and the audience will be more likely to accept and identify with the character.
EDIT: I'd also like to add a little bit of advice I read that was being given to DisneyFan01 of all people.
Give Sean some core aspects of his personality, because honestly
@Connor Bible you should be focusing on Sean right now instead of how movie-like you want to open your story. Who is Sean? What are some core things about him?
What does he believe in? (Beliefs that can change, and beliefs he will stick by no matter what.)
What makes Sean who he is? Focus on that and defining Sean's powers before you get into all of this other stuff.
