Apparently my brain was not satified with the mess it made earlier.
Yes I am seriously contemplating writing epic comic...about giant prehistoric ape against undead terrorists backed with Nazis in oriental pajamas.
My biggest issue is not to rip off King Kong too directly. There is nothing wrong in fan fiction, but it really isn't my cup of tea.
I am a Coffee man.
Unless one happens to be devoid of any selfcritism the biggest problem in creating comics is : but it has been done before, what new can I bring to equation?
True, majority of cop shows, horror stories, sitcom's and so on are based on tropes, familiar preset patterns that we are used to and that may even define genre of whatever you are creating.
We have created numerous variations on same theme or a story and there is loads of university papers written on subtext, language chosen, gender issues, social structures and so on.
And while they may have interesting points I am not too interested in them as such.
I want to read a good story, something I havent seen before or have seen but want to see done better.
By now some of you are saying: he's awfully full of himself, isn't he?
But of course.
That comes with the territory.
In comics industry there are auteurs who do everything themselves but more often the best result comes from having an artist and a writer.
(and inker and colorist and letterer and editors, pre-print technicians, but for sake of simplicity: artist, writer)
And they tend to have god complexes.
The artist drives to surpass their previous work, to attain perfection, to do best visual work that is suited for the comic.
To invoke emotions, breath life in lines and solids, to build a reality within reality.
A bit like benevenolent god.
The writer?
Think Sauron or any dark deity high on crystal meth.
They want to create and destroy and make imaginary people do their bidding.
See? even if they rebel against the writer in the story they are just jumping through their hoops.
Yes, My name is curtvile and I am a writer(mainly)
after seeing Talibannosaurus on a forum there was talk about hypothetical story ideas. "King Kong vs Bin Laden"
yes, it was someone else's idea. Was.
If they aren't doing it, too bad.
If you dont build a house but plan to so someday there is no way it can be burglarized now is there?
(making notes about story of stealing houses from the brains of architects...)
And even then it usually is not immaterial theft anyways.
I liked the premise as it got the figurative ball rolling. Why are they fighting? where? When? and who, if anyone, wins?
Here is what I have gathered so far:
the big ape's death was staged and had been held under some form of coercion/control.
A cryptozoological version of black ops for CIA.
Bin Laden is a stock bad guy, terrifying because he is a real-life zealot, but works even better as Frankenstein-type semi-undead overlord-wannabe.
Hence: Nazininjas. Nazis are epitome of evil and hey, Germany and Japan were in Axis-states in WW2.
No, I will not include to their list of abilities using Italian Icecreamcones as throwing weapons.
really.
But what is their motivation? I mean Bin Laden is given, nothing new under the sun there, but the great primate?
lapdog in leash of the militaryindustrial complex? Naturalized US patriot?
But then again going back to the source:
Fay Wray.
It was beauty that killed the beast.
yeah it was.
except she lived to ripe old age until a plane flattened the WTC tower she happened to be.
love. vengeance. it's personal now.
damn. It seems I am forced to write that story now.
