Covfefe

I often compare presidents to pilots. You don't have to like a pilot. You don't have to know if he's a good guy. They stand there, be polite, look professional, and fly the fucking plane, land the bitch. That's all you ever need to know about them.

This twitter shit is the same as a pilot just going over the announcement system and saying "Alright folks, seems like we've got a problem with a;jiaitejoarjea"

then never explaining it.

Then coming on later and saying lol just kidding.

So is that the president. Okay, I'm launching this nuke at this country, woo hoo!!! JUST joking!

Think about it.

Existentialism

Wanted to go meet cree summer down at the borough con. I mean, going to see taimak, when I did that. The bravery I had to go do it. I was scared pissless to go down on the subway, go actually hang out at a con. It was my first time, and I've never been in the middle of that situation. So to break through and just go for it and get it done was eye opening and just a good experience. Don't live your life in a bubble... just don't. I would have gone, should have gone. Cree is nuts, man. She has no idea how much a huge part of my life she is... like, I think she does of course being prettymuch in everything under the sun, but for me personally, I literally freakin saw that girl in everything growing up... EVERYTHING. Would actually like to have met her for once...

But I'm glad I just decided to stay home today instead of running around the city for an autograph or a photo op.

The tweet like from her was good enough to acknowledge how much time we've spent with each other without having met in person really...

My sister is an insane fan of a Different World... INSANE. I mean, GOD, if Judith had met cree would have meant more to HER than me.

What a show, that was. I took it for granted, we all did. A show about black people for black people that didn't rely on stereotypes, wow. How the shit did that happen?

Sigh, what a day. Tiger Woods in the shit... Grew up liking him a lot. Hope he bounces back from all this. Media's eating him alive at the moment.

What else to say... not much, just rambling. Appreciating that I have the opportunity to film my static shock movie thing. Dreading having to suffer through the process of shooting, editing etc. Satisfied with some of the rough stuff I've gotten together.

I don't plan to stop though. I do enjoy film and filmmaking. Got the filmmaking bug brutha!!! I mean what the hell else am I supposed to do while I am alive! I've always been into art, makes sense to stick with it...

It kinda bothers me though.... the way people are critics of films but hardly ever make them or understand the labor involved in it. There truly is no such thing as shooting a movie. Only RE-shooting a movie. Magic School bus shit. Take chances, make mistakes...

Back to work

Some guy tries to friend me on facebook. Creepy as hell nigerian guy from god knows where... this is the second time in like a few days that I've personally had to fend off against weirdo black guys... It throws me off since I grew up with black kids and they're just regular if awkward ass people so there ya go, but when you go through life and you see people are bat shit insane on the daily basis in the black race, it tarnishes your view of them to some extent. What's up with that bullshit. Some lonely ass weird fuck wanting to friend you on facebook since they apparently have nothing or no one else to be dragged into their awkward weirdo life. And if you're black, don't, just don't freakin post pics of yourself on facebook looking very very retarded, just stop that... then go wondering why people don't want to stay friends and chat, awkward son of a...

Going to attempt to get some shots for the static shock project today...

Starting to lose weight thanks to finally understanding trans fats were doing so much damage.

I feel a lot more confident that this project will be done within the time span I have set for it.

Struggling to get the hoverboard back to the future shots yesturday got me back into the film making groove. I can't believe I lost it. You can't shoot movies until you shoot movies. I mean the preconception stuff of just thinking about how you want to shoot it is nothing compared to the actual daily grind of getting it done. And yes, I've been through much in my efforts to make the test shots, but working on the final ones has been a chore.

The final battle will be the toughest to shoot. I've got to take the time to plan it meticulously so as to not just shoot it on the fly. That simply won't work. Going to demand the most drone work if I ever learn to fly this drone.

I do feel like giving up and shoving this thing... it's been 4 years since I legit started. And it's just now starting to become reality, but I'm also 4 years older...

I question if I can do this... Sure enough if I had money flowing in, a job, a gym membership, ability to afford camera rigs and set ups that would aid me, this would be a breeze. So the reality of my current situation is a factor in how slow this thing is materializing.

Oh well, I'm gonna do it cuz I look out at the barren waste land of black super heros on youtube and just think it ain't right... that's all that's really motivating me.

Ariana Grande concert attack

So this thing has to happen now. We are not talking about it enough in my opinion. This was a very complex layered and planned attack.

The thing does piss me off and I'm American. That's the point.

The American media wants to say oh how bad for the UK, must be a tragic event for them, poor them. POOR US.

Ariana is American. This was her concert. It's as much an attack on US as it was for the UK and their crumpets and tea.

Just because she was over there, doesn't negate that she's an American over there representing the country.

The US should be straight livid at this situation. Much moreso. I certainly am.

Besides the politics, any bullshit like this should be condemned of course. Even if it's the US that's behind it. I don't do that whole patriotism bullshit. If the US military acts stupid, we all should be concerned about that too.

So what's the real motive behind the bombing. Thank God that retard took himself out too, good riddance.

I can't be sure. but I think it was to provoke Trump, the US military etc into more conflict. Isis knows Trump has a huge ego and a very short fuse, he's not hard to get provoked into war. If not now then some point down the line, they'll push him further to the edge with these bombings and we'll see more US combat units dropped into countries we have no business being in...

It's coming, this was the first step towards a full blown Isis attack on US soil. It's not being said in the media for whatever reason, but I'll say it here. They're not afraid to act because they know we don't have any leadership worth a pile of dog shit.

Yeah who am I to talk. I agree. I'm not an expert of this stuff, just a guy who's watching, concerned, but it just occured to me that OH SHIT that's the plan. Send a message. I was just wondering why the bomber did it. Cuz Ariana is an american. It was a message to americans. UK had nothing to do with it.

Then it dawned on me, they want trump to go to war with them. They want it... And they know he'll do it. He'll be easy as shit to provoke into conflict if they know him, he'll oblige, then I can only guess they want to get their cameras out and film US troops shooting their people and or whatever for future recruitment videos.... it's a damn shame this is how they want to be in life... But all this stuff comes from years of bad behavior that no one's willing to let die... or they can't because yeah they have their reasons.

I was walking and thinking about it, these guys aren't doing this stuff because they're just assholes. We did shit to them, maybe decades ago.... they still want revenge... etc. And the wheel keeps turning...

Shame.

The reviews are right, Alien Covenant is garbage

I tried. I really tried to like it. It's an ambitious film that bit off way more than it could possibly chew and collapses in on itself.

Good for an alien fan film, not good for an official one. Skip it.

The Last Samurai, Jack

Well, that's it.

No more wondering how samurai jack ends. We now know, forever.

How do I feel about it?

Little history lesson. I was there, watching samurai jack airing on cartoon network every week. I taped episodes, I of course later learned how to download them, but mostly I was a maniac about taping the old cartoon network shows. If I actually check some of the old vhs tapes I have here, most likely find something. I taped shit tons of stuff off tv but to find my old tapes of them is truly tough as most of it has been lost. I didn't know I had a gold mine, just stupid.

moving forward...

As an oldbie. The generation who witnessed jack on its first run and not some new punk dumbass kid who just discovered the show.... my opinion matters more than them.

My opinion is boiled down to one two words: Stretched Thin.

I was both satisfied by the ending and disappointed at the same time. Some comments say, oh it felt rushed. Yeah, surely, but I'm glad Genndy had the balls to finally just nail the final damn thing down and finish it. You don't know how hard it is for an artist to finish his shit and not look back, plus there have been countless unfinished cartoons in my time on this earth that I've seen. Finally having that trend be axed is a huge relief.

But is it?

I do want to see more and learn more about jack and aku. It kinda feels like they left us all hanging with questions about what we just watched lost style.

It's best compared to the ending of Lost. A masterpiece of a series that ended like a parody of itself because they had no idea how it would end all along, just made it up all the way through.

Same feeling comes from the new finale. Genndy didn't know how he was going to end it, just pulled it out of his ass.

Fuck it, right...

It's good, nothing terrible. It's a clever way to make jack get back to the past, just by using aku's own time travel powers to do it instead of seeking a time machine... Never saw that coming. I honestly thought he'd never get back, for him to actually get back is like wtf...

So the series basically ends where it began, it's tragic really. Jack fullfills his destiny and kills aku, but doing so means his wife dies too. So now he's truly LOST forever and can't get Back to his true home, his wife ashi.

That's it. That's how it ends... And it's like wtf now.... dunno.... just accept it brah...

So yeah, after dedicating myself to this series, the ending is ok, but it took you fuck all this long to come to this confusing, artsy, just tepid ending that leaves jack in limbo looking at his life as a big tragic waste... yeah he saved his past and his family, but he lost his future and his family there. What kind of way to end it is that....

This episode will divide fans of jack for all time. Good job.

Well, it's over, nothing any of us can do about it. I'm neither over the moon about it or fully hating it. It just is....

Trans FAts

just discovered this shit... So the corporations are pumping our food full of chemicals that the body has no understanding of and therefore stores it as fat instead of digesting it.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Why do i have to learn this now. I've been wondering why i've had a tough time losing weight despite being very fitness oriented for years.

Simple. Yeah you can cut out all the sugar you want. All that fast food, and even bread you think is healthy is full of hydrogenated oil which your body can't digest properly.

Done. I'm just sticking to veggies, meat, and eggs. I'm not touching all the things I used to like.

Makes me feel awful knowing that there are ruthless asshole corporations out there poisoning all of us and laughing about it, but be aware of how this world works. Don't blindly live in it.

There are indeed wheels turning out there to keep YOU down.

Static Shot 2

Getting somewhere with this thing...

Incase you think this is photo shop...

nope...

All I'll say is blue screen and wires is your friend. Nailed this shot, very happy with the final result..

Static is Coming

Just finished the entire story board for the whole thing.

I mean, still got to shoot it, but to have the map now, it's nice to know what it's going to be and how much work it's going to be. Loads of content to it.

Tons of amazing stuff, it's a smart little fan film. Far better than any of the ones on youtube.

Why do those fail? They're poorly acted first of all. I'm not an actor but I damn sure know how to create a realistic performance vs the garbage we got on youtube.

Just no passion. The guys making those films, nothing against them, but they do it as a joke. I actually love static shock, do want him to get a tv show or a movie. If this thing I make will get hollyweird interested in it, that's alright.

Yes, in case you're sitting there thinking, bullshit. How many big youtube projects have never been fully finished... good luck retard.

Yes, I know about a lot of youtube channels that made promises on film projects or whatever, then abandoned them.

Damn shame. I mean, that's the nature of the internet, it's all going to shift and change and people will leave their shit behind as they get married or whatever... absolutely.

Saddens me that that's just the way it is. Here today gone tomorrow. Seize the day, and that's what I'm gonna end up doing.

I'm hoping it works, people like it, kids like it, whatever. Most of all, it will be standing tall as a tribute to a hero who gets little to no respect. If I can get phil lamar to watch it, holy shit....

So, uh, time to get off my fat ass and make this thing....

Getting going again

Don't know if I should blog about my intentions to get a job and work, but that's honestly all I have. I can't just go do whatever today. I have to get a job and stay stable in it or else what the fuck. Not much... And don't EVER get me wrong. I HATE working. I have no intention to make work my life at all. It's just this society doesn't play. Work or Die...

I have a few jobs lined up and I hope I can get started and going with them soon, that's all I'll say. Hopefully nothing goes wrong. I just want to get some money so I can save and live like everyone else. Why is that so damn hard to accomplish.

As for my static shock project. I have a choice, dedicate myself to this thing full force. Become serious with it, and work very hard on it to get it done, or do it lazy, get it done little by little..

It's depressing that there are jackasses out there that want me to fail in life and not accomplish shit, just go rot in a corner somewhere out of the way.

I have no problem staying out of the way, I'd prefer that. I don't like attention. I don't want to be in this situation where I'm going to get in trouble for existing, but that's the life I live. I can't feel like I belong to society.

Will I ever get where I WANT to be? Probably not. I'm not white, I'm very much on the path to non-importance in life...

Does that bother me? No. I've always been nobody. How the fuck am I suddenly going to decide the fate of anyone, be in a position where my life matters now. I come from shit no where, just because the internet makes everyone seem important doesn't change how meaningless we really are in the end, truth be told.

I'm just hoping to finish static shock before it's damn near impossible to do it...

As for my promise to finish my thoughts on comics, I do want to finish it, but later... Later.

Thawtz on the lukewarm reaction to Alien Covenant

Shit... was not expecting this.... people are more or less split on the film right down the center... As usual there's the extreme hyprobolic reactions of love it, hate it... all that aside, the more balanced reviewers are saying the movie is flawed but ok...

so it's Prometheus...

That's shocking to me. I mean i didn't think it'd be another prometheus. I was hoping it'd be a home run hit.

Movies today cost fucking 15 dollars to go see one... I don't know what happened to the mattinee discount.

I go to the movies early in the morning and it's still expensive. I don't know if I should go pay money to see this flick anymore.

And movie hopping has become harder these days. I used to movie hop all day years in the past, or if I had an hour to kill before my movie started, I watched another movie. But super-ushers who want their extra bonus 2 dollars or whatever, fucking hunt down movie hoppers cuz they're going to get a pat on the back from the boss!!

Yep, happened twice to me, getting hounded and stalked by douche bag minimum wage movie crew people, FOR WHAT? Don't want me getting my money's worth and actually seeing 15 dollars worth of movies, plus the expensive as shit popcorn and soda.

I usually bring my own food to movies cuz hell no i'm not buying a 100 dollar bucket of popcorn... then one day this douche at the theater asks to search my bag when i go see logan... he didn't, cuz he was a retard... and was trying to look more important than he is i guess... don't know... don't care...

This culture of paranoia after the dark night rises shooting, the bullshit going on in society, it's got to stop... What's happening when going to check out a different movie for a bit is a federal crime...

Yeah the whole Social Justice Warrior epidemic is way out of hand these days, sad to say.... Grit your teeth and take a lick, that's the way i was raised, no one gives you anything, gotta fight for it, etc... When did we become a nation that expects a mint on its pillow every day.

As for Alien Covenant, I don't have the money... I've been watching reviews like a madman trying to get word on it being the bomb, it's not happening. Every review is split on it. Every one...

Damn... Should I spend money on this shit?

thawtz on comics

Been a long life , 31, don't even know what I'm doing here...

Kinda just going with this thing day by day, that's all I can do. Sucks to be black. You always watch your back every day, always scared of getting shot every day. I never thought I'd be living like this. There you go, I'll tell you straight if you're some black punk kid and think life will be just as great later on, hell no. It's going to be constant bullshit.

How appropriate, the college I went to made us black kids read frankenstein, very clever fuckers. I didn't get why the white faculty at that school made us blacks read that book until much much later on. I just thought it was required reading. It was a joke they thought would be funny.

Waking up to the racist world from the black perspective is definitely something I never really saw coming or cared about, but it's the reality we live in. There's no denying it. What do I think or even care about how black people are viewed as animals by the world?

Why are people soooo stupid as to give validity to that idea today???

Is there an upside to this situation?

The only upside is that yeah, you then don't give a fuck and don't take life as seriously when you're black. Kinda just let stuff roll off your back a lot more. You do grow a thicker skin more than any other race can hope to understand. So I guess that's the upside, you don't let shit get to you as much as others do....

I mean, I'm a sexual person.  Race is like, on the bottom of my list of things to give a shit about. I love good looking people and marvel at them when I see human perfection in any form it comes in. I guess it's the artistic senses I have that cause this, but yeah, I look at people in that vein. Do you have a good fit physique or are you a blimp and never heard of a gym...

It's also related to my love of comics. I grew up reading and absorbing those sons of guns like candy.

Indeed, Comics truly are the perfect equivalent to cotton candy. Pure, fluffy, deliciousness.

I've not read one in eons but I recently got back into them and have to say I missed out, they're still pretty awesome.

I love the way they have no limits. They're about quick bursts of artistic expression in a singular flash moment that lingers longer than a frame of film. So you can fully take in the emotional impact of the image. That's what comics do better than everything else. Let you fucking soak the moment in. It's not just a quick blink and you miss it situation. You have control of the story. Unlike a book, you miss or skip a few sentences, you're fucked. Watching a movie, you nod off for a little while, you're fucked. But no, you can't miss the story in a comic, it's always there.

And the art is just the icing on the cake. The art, man... If it's drawn well anyway. There's always something to captivate your eye balls.

Now in this debate is it all comics and nothing else... No I love cartoons with lots of amazing dynamic comic book visuals to them... always have.

It is tough for cartoons though. They don't have the luxury of having no limits They have time bounds, there's only so much they can spend money on things to animate it properly. Action typically suffers in cartoons in favor of less heavy animation demands. But if they do get to have action, it can be glorious and often very well done.

Examples? Dammit, it's tought to say. This is where comics have a little more lattitude than movies or cartoons. Comics that i've drawn, and comics I've read can zoom in on the tiny shit and many movies have tried to emulate this same style. Matrix was the first to ever I think try to do things comic style and zoom in on punches and slow the movie down to you can grasp the art taking place. Most comic book movies don't do super close ups or slow mo but not matrix. And it was hit or miss. Sometimes it's better not to try to make a movie a comic book. Hulk being a prime example. As innovative an approach as the split screen stuff was in that movie, it failed unfortunately. It was just confusing and made no sense. Comic panels are meant to be a way for artists to add more story elements to a page, other wise they'd get it done in one page at a time. It's a way to quicken things along, it has nothing to do with style. Thankfully no movie after lee's hulk ever did the split screen shit again, they quickly abandonded it.

What movie gets comic style right? Not the american films. If you want to see comic books translated to screen in the style comics typically have, watch stephen chow's films, Of course anything by jon woo,  jackie chan's films, hell any and all asian kung fu or action movies. They get the joke on how it should be done. BIG. Comics don't care about doing things ordinary, it's all about making something plain, looks EPIC. That's the joke... That's what american comic adaptations failed to do for so long. They take comics which are epic and make them plain oat meal... It should be a bowl of fruity pebbles!!!

Sam Raimi got this. In fact, the evil dead movies are probably the best comic adaptations ever that aren't comic adaptations, but they are comic books on film, there's no denying that shit.

Are Michael Bay's movies comic book movies. Are Zack Snyder's movies comic book movies because they reek of comic book epic visuals?

No. There's a difference between making a clusterfuck of cgi shit banging together for 2 hours and making a comic book. Fact is, in the comics, you can FUCKING SEE what's happening. That's where those two fail. They don't allow you to see shit and instead hope you don't call them out on their visual laziness.

IT's just oh, explosion, vs a better made film, oh explosion in the background while a character does a badass super hero landing, flip, flying... something we can actually give a shit about....

I mean think about it... Which is more visually fun and exciting, a kid playing some video game and you watch it. Or a cinematic, well shot, amazingly choreographed series of events set to rousing music. If I have to draw an even more clear parallel, I'd say those guy's movies are like a dumbass bashing away at a keyboard mindlessly vs a true pianist who knows what the hell he's playing...

There is an art, believe it or not to doing comic book movies properlly and it must be mastered. it's not as simple as making shit blow up on screen for 2 hours...

I'm spent, I think I can go on about this subject which I'm deeply passionate about as a comic artist and comic lover since childhood, so we'll definitely be back to go deeper on this later...

Static's motivation

Got thinking about it... why does he go out and be a hero... The only reasonable conclusion I've drawn is that he just does...

It's not an epic dramatic reason, maybe he feels responsible for the bang baby outbreak having participated in it, and maybe his mother was gunned down by gangs, or something, but when I think about it, nothing truly powerful motivates him to go out and fight crime.

The last line of my trailer that I'm working on goes like this:

What to do with all this power... I know that now... Anyone who wants to hurt others, I'm gonna put a shock to your system.

We never know exactly why he wants to use his power for good until he sees another with power abuse it. He then sees that it's his duty to use the power properly.

We'll work this out. Going to be reading all the static shock comics I can find, as well as sketching out the entire plan for the whole trailer...

Gotta lose weight, and film all this shit i have in my head. If you like it, that's cool. It's been a long gestating project. I estimate the final result will be at least 50 to 70 percent of what I have in mind actually fully realized.

Will this get me anywhere? Does facebook get anyone anywhere? I don't know. I have lofty ideals about my future as an actor, but I'm not going to waste my time banking on that bullshit. I just want to be the one person who did it, made a static shock fan film that doesn't suck.... I promise you the final battle in the forest will be something to behold. Even if you don't give a damn about static or blacks or anything to do with some fool on youtube making fan films, just check out what I'm gonna do... It will be very cool stuff.

Glass

Should call it Ass, that'd be more appropriate, M. Night. LAzy fuck.

Don't condone late sequels but I'll make an exception. Had no idea Split was a semi-sequel to Unbreakable. Was contemplating bootlegging it since it was so popular. Fuck me in the face. If I only knew it was unbreakable 2 in disguise I would have seen the fucker. Never saw unbreakable in theaters. Saw it on starz back in high school. High school, oh what a wonderful time. Go pretend to be a student then come home and go on the internet, wash rinse, repeat.

Why the hell did I do that shit?

Alright....

What do I think is going to happen in Glass?

I hope we see something big and worthy of waiting a decade and change first of all...

It's just I gave up on a sequel long time ago. To up and get one, sure it's exciting, but it's like hoping for something when you're 10 and then it finally happens when you're 50, different world different age and everything...

Unbreakable is a part of me, it's in my soul. I connected with that film. I mean when I was here in this house back in those days being a star wars retard, all I did was indulge in super hero fantasies. It's what I always did as a kid gravitate towards super heros on tv, read comics, to have a movie that releshed and in some ways worshipped comics and super heros, felt like, a dream realized. I watched every frame of unbreakable with pure joy expressed on my face at something that GOT ME.

It was about a man who was a hero, tried to be anyway, ME.

For M. Night to turn his back on it go make tons of shit movies that couldn't compare, just smack in the face to all of us.

Now that I suppose he's had his ego bruised by failures to go big budget with his films, he's going back to it.

Does he deserve to? Does he deserve to return to the unbreakable universe after shirking it all this time?

Fuck, I mean, it's not that world anymore of 2000. No blockbuster to go get unbreakable from and a bucket of popcorn and watch the movie, that shit's mostly gone, only small fringe towns still have video stores but they're like antiques we keep around for old times sake.

My point is, time has left 2000 behind... the time to make Glass has been left behind... Whatever reason M. Night comes up with for making the sequel now, needs to be the shit... yes, no fancy thesaurus word, just THE SHIT....

We all gave up on unbreakable 2. Willis, Sam, Everybody... we wanted it for a decade, we got a fart from M. Night as he directed some bullshit no one cared about. Now he's saying, LOL JUST KIDDING, unbreakable sequel time. Fuck, I'm 31 now you ass hole!!!

But ok, I'm still something like young, I'll make the most of it, I guess, I don't know.... I am happy that I lived this long, I am getting my unbreakable sequel as a reward for suffering life this long, that's a plus...

What's it going to be about... All out war. It has to be. This is it, the justification for Dunn's existence. He has to be the only one who can stop the Horde... What's Glass' role in this. He I think has been finding a lot more than just the Horde out there although he's happy to have Horde as an ally in his war against Dunn. But I mean, if they really want to go the comic book route here, Glass has to form his own Legion of Doom and find other super villains to tackle Dunn. Are there other super heros out there. Wouldn't be surprised if the girl who we saw in the last movie comes back with some powers of her own, whatever they may be. It's clear that her experience has changed her into a different person, no longer willing to accept things, but fight...

Do I want Die Hard with Unbreakable powers? No, not at all and neither does M. Night. If the movie doesn't have a message or some powerful idea within it, it's a fail in his eyes.

This movie will just as with a lot of what we saw in unbreakable, be inspired by old comic stories and comic complexity.

Comics are and have and forever will be about evolution of their characters. We all know that. They start one way, grow, change, become shaped by the times more or less. Will we see similar 'reflection' of the ages with the unbreakable universe. Now that times have changed. Has the characters outlooks changed. Will we see Dunn embracing his powers, will he have developed them further and bigger, better than Horde can imagine. What can Glass even do. What will he have invented to possibly defeat Dunn now that he's accepted his role as the villain in the comic. Will he want Horde out of the way so that he remains the only arch nemesis? Many doubt it. Horde will be the muscle to Glass' brains... I hope they take that route. Horde will actually be something of glass' puppet in the film, doing his bidding.

Dunn returning means his family will return, his son will return. Will something happen to him, will the kid have powers too that he didn't know about? Is he going to be the robin to Dunn's Batman? It's a staple of comics to have a side kick and in some respects, his son was his side kick in the original film. Will we see that continue?

The real driving force is going to be Elijah's character in this. This movie will no doubt be about Elijah embracing his destiny as a super villain full force. He'll want to bring hell upon earth, with Horde's help, and maybe others. Dunn will be the only one standing in their way to achieving their goal.

Then the conflict will begin I think. Elijah isn't actually all bad. He's done bad things out of a tortured insanity he's grown into being what he is, but that's not fully who he is. He's had a great mother and still loves and respects her. Could that be where Dunn tries to appeal to him, through his mother once Elijah is busted from jail?

Will it work? Will that be what makes Elijah turn around and want to help Dunn. Maybe Horde has no choice but to kill Elijah even though he believes the broken are better than the unbreakables.

What I want to see is this basically. Horde breaks Elijah out or Elijah just weasles his way out of the instintution whatever. But Elijah discovers he's not alone and informs Horde that there are others like him, and they need to get together if they want to defeat Dunn who is nearly invincible and will easily fuck them both up cuz he can't be killed. Dunn's kid warns him that he knows Elijah has been planning to find others like him and start a super villain team and Dunn needs to do the same, he can't beat them alone. Dunn arrogantly dismisses this since he's been quite successful on his own and can't even understand the idea of finding other super heros anyway. In his first encounter with Horde, he does pretty well against him, then someone helps Horde who Dunn didn't see coming and he gets his ass beat pretty badly and has to back down from the fight with Horde. Horde's got a friend or friends helping him. All of them are quite powerful in their own way and have some kind of skills. Dunn now knows he must seek some kind of help to defeat the new villain group Glass has established. They mean business and are serious, want to eat people and do all kinds of evil shit.

Question is, who does Dunn find and how. I don't know, some way some how, maybe by stealing Elijah's extensive research on people he's identified, he finds people who have gifts, massive intellect, ability to control energy forces, whatever, and enlists them. That's the only honest way I think we're going to see this thing go.... They have to I guess expand the concept now that the horde has shown up and proved to Dunn that this isn't going to end with just him and glass. It's time to finally identify these people and create a team of them.

And I guess some corn ball lesson about team work can be tossed in there.

So it's called Glass. This is going to Begin and end with Elijah, his complexity as a character. Maybe he'll be horrified by the Horde's actions of eating people alive, then again Elijah has done far worse and seems to have no regret. But he's a more classy villain about things, straight up eating people, maybe he'll not agree with horde's methods... Anwyay, the hook of the film might be that it's actually Elijah that is the true hero of the franchise in the end. That'd be a fucking twist....
