Movie Producer: All the most popular movies these days are about super heroes you know. That latest one where the Stem Cell girl whose buddy eats a face, the biggest crossover event in history in Marvel VS Capcom The Motion Picture, and of course everyone's favorite Squirrel Girl. I got an idea even bigger than all of them though and that is to make a movie and then make a comic book about the movie. We have plenty of comic book inspired movies, but not as many movie inspired comic books. Except Star Wars, but ignore them for now.
Now hear me out! I know Magnus doesn't want people to focus on that time he saved a kids life, and that is fine and dandy. What I want to start with is his recovery from that incident and his discovery of a Lazarus Pit. After his recovery there he meets the one and only Ra's al Ghul who upon seeing Magnus' herculean figure decides that it must be his. While trying to escape from Ra's al Ghul Magnus stumbles upon, wait for it, Mastermind Excello. That's right we're doing one big crossover event from every comic book universe I can get my grubby little mitts on and your boy will be at the center of it. Figure Magnus and Mastermind Excello will go find Yaaaaaaaay 'Yay' Newfriend the hyper advanced artificial intelligence for help next and that gets the ball rolling. That should cover the first three hours of the movie, but what do you think?
Agent Tesla: Who are you and who let you into my office?
Movie Producer: You telling me you don't recognize famous movie producer Alan Smithee? You really need to get out more!
Agent Tesla: You mean infamous movie director Alan Smithee who took their producer name from a pseudonym for directors, and whose sole production is a sequel to The Room that is so cursed it is said that homes with a copy of it have all of their plants die?
Alan Smithee: I mean everybody has heard my name and knows about my productions. You gotta give that to me!
Agent Tesla: The bonsai in my office are literally wilting in your presence your very existence is that offensive to life.
Alan Smithee: Yeah that happens sometimes. So how much for the rights to Magnus' story?
Agent Tesla: Get out of my sight.
