My Idea for a Live-Action X-Men Movie...

Thinking... how can we introduce the X-Men into live action, whether through movie, tv show, limited series, etc. ... and I have an idea.

Let's start in media res.

Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted has been active for the past few years, however with a small class size of seven. Scott. Jean. Bobby. Hank. Warren. Alex. Lorna. Despite only consisting of seven students, due to Xavier's wealth he has been able to keep his school open and thriving since the beginning.

However that has changed as the size of his class has dropped from seven to one after a botched mission led to the capture of his students save one, Scott Summers.

And the opening scene is Xavier sitting in his mansion, worried, waiting, until Scott kicks his door down, tells them his team is gone, and passes out due to exhaustion.

We then pick up on our narrator for the movie, the character whose eyes we will be seeing the entire movie take place through, stepping off a plane and into JFK airport...

Ororo Munroe. Storm.

She had travelled from her home in Africa seemingly on a whim, as if drawn there by fate, and - unsure where to go or what to do next - she goes to a nearby bar to make her next plan.

Who should happen to sit next to her but a short, hairy man in a cowboy hat and a thick, Canadian accent?

Ororo, meet Logan. They do not hit it off.

She does happen to hit it off with the soft spoken Russian man who is reading poetry at the other end of the bar - Piotr Rasputin - and the bartender, a Native American man - James Proudstar - who wasn't supposed to be working that day but traded shifts with his roommate.

While they are all gathered there they hear a voice in their heads and turn around to see Charles Xavier, a man they all recognize and all soon realize is the reason they are now gathered together in this bar. At first they all want to leave but Xavier implores them to at least first hear him out, which they agree to do, but he tells them he won't start until the final member of their group is here.

Cue shouts and gunfire as Kurt - Nightcrawler - runs, leaps, and teleports across the airport in all his blueness.

Xavier manages to calm the crowd however not before one of the security guards manages to call in that the threat is a mutant and it's a race to grab Kurt before reinformcements arrive. But wouldn't you know it the group is not the best team yet and the reinforcements do arrive in the form of Sentinels.

It seems like all hope is lost when, out of nowhere, a stray quartz-colored beam blows one of the Sentinels apart and allows the group a moment to escape. They regroup in Xavier's car, which had been where Scott was waiting while Xavier gathered the others.

They return to the mansion where Xavier explains what happens to his team, that they were responding to a mutant in distress on an island that had ultimately been a trap - with only Scott escaping. The group has been gathered together to help Xavier and Scott rescue their teammates.

It's mostly a resounding no. Piotr would rather be at home on the farm. James has to go searching for a new job since he undoubtedly got fired from the bar for leaving during shift hours. Logan is "not a team player" and believes that the team is most likely dead anyway. Kurt is game but he is also "not the best fighter".

Ororo also agrees to help.

That surprises everyone. She says that while the circumstances that brought them together were underhanded, she cannot sit idly by while innocent people, people like her with a mutant gene, are in danger. Not just those on the island, who they are tasked with rescuing, but around the world especially since Sentinels have become standard issue around the world. While she does not see herself being a full-time member, she knows that the team Xavier had protected mutants like them from these threats and, with them gone, who will protect their community now?

Xavier tells them that, after they help rescue his original team, they would be free to leave and do what they want with their lives as they please.

Piotr is in. So is James. Logan sighs and agrees, "Since I don't want to be the odd one out." They agree to go save the others. Scott says, however, that before they can mount the rescue mission, they need to become a team first - referencing their battle at the airport and how they need to improve.

They agree to train.

Meanwhile, on the island, we see that there is a Master Mold along with Trask and scientists working on creating the next model of Sentinels in their ongoing war against mutants using the captured mutants from Xavier's Academy as test subjects. The scientists are just as much as prisoners as the X-Men, however, as they were led to the island on false pretenses and forced to work for Master Mold who had, unbenknownst to everyone until the final act, had taken over Trask and controls him as a puppet.

A few of these scientists came with their families. One of these families were the Prydes. Katherine Anne Pryde is seen as a non-threat by both Master Mold and Trask, and is able to freely wander the island as well as speak with the prisoners because, since everything is monitored and she is twelve, she cannot do anything to disrupt the mission. We learn from this scene that Master Mold is on the cusp of unveiling a new breed of Sentinel that, using the schematics pulled from Jean's mind, would be able to track mutants anywhere without needing to be called in. It was luck that the X-Men arrived on their island, fell into their trap.

Meanwhile back in Westchester, NY, this new team of X-Men are having a hard time at coming together to work as a team, which is making Scott mad. He and Logan almost come to blows if not for Piotr stepping between them to break things up. They both step away to cool off.

Ororo decides to speak with both of them. First, she goes to Scott, and tells him that he is not being a good leader. They have a heart to heart where he confesses that his friends are his family, and Jean... he has a lot riding on this being a success, and this is as new to him as it is new to them. He is not used to working with people he hasn't grown up with. Ororo tells him that he needs to lead from a place of love and courage, and not fear. Then, she goes to find Logan to see that he is brushing off Kurt rather coldly and Ororo does not wait to take him to task on his loner attitude. They clash a bit before Ororo tells him to get his act together or just leave, as it shouldn't matter to him what they think if he really doesn't care.

They all agree to do another training session, only they never get the chance as Xavier tells them it is now or never as there was a spike of pain from the same island his first team was lost, and that cannot mean anything good. The heroes go to get suited up and fly to the island base.

Master Mold is ready to create his new breed of Sentinels and it looks like they are a success, as they have been fitted with new upgrades. He activates a few and they immediately power online with the alert that there is a mutant among them.

All eyes turn to Katherine Anne Pryde. Kitty.

Her father and mother object but are restrained as the Sentinels begin to pursue her, only able to tell her to run before they are knocked out. Kitty runs and manages to escape the Sentinels after discovering her ability to phase through solid matter. The escape is not fullproof as they burst out the bunker in full pursuit. When she reaches the beaches with what looks like no place left to go, the clouds part and reveal the Blackbird jet which Ororo had just exited from and is now flying down to confront the Sentinels she spotted chasing the little girl. The Sentinels sense her power and lock onto her, only to get blasted by lightning and turret fire.

The X-Men land and confront the Sentinels but, unlike at JFK, they are able to work together and take them down. Even Logan finds himself being a team player. They rescue Kitty and she tells them where the prisoners are and also what Master Mold is planning.

The team decides to split up - Scott, Piotr, and James will confront Master Mold while Ororo, Logan, and Kurt follow Kitty to the prison area.

Of course we stay with Ororo because, again, she is who we are relying to guide us through this story.

We get to the prison area and it's Ororo, Logan, and Kurt going HAM on these guards taking them down while Kitty uses her powers to free the X-Men. She manages to get to the main control room and hits the button that releases all the prisoners who do their best to help, despite being weakened from experiments and torture.

We learn from Kitty that there's a prisoner missing, and they admit that it's Jean. She was taken by Trask.

So the group races to the main room where Scott, Piotr, and James are and see a BUNCH of Sentinels on the loose and pure pandemonium. Piotr and James are on the ropes and Scott is putting up his best fight, however just as the group arrives the Sentinels converge and blast him, with a woman across the room watching calling out his name as he 'perishes' (we'll circle back on this later).

Without their leader and shocked, Ororo steps up and takes command, leading the group into battle like she's been doing it all her life against the Sentinels while Kitty and Kurt evacuate the scientists. She cuts across the room almost instantly to get to Trask and Jean where we finally learn that the former has been completely taken over by Master Mold and is now a Sentinel cyborg. They battle it out but it's a tough battle given the numbers they're against until there's a moment where Ororo and Jean are tucked away, shielded from incoming blaster fire from Trask and the Sentinels, when Jean places her hands to the ground and closes her eyes. Ororo asks what she's doing and Jean tells her she's asking for help.

"From who? Xavier only sent us?"

"From the mutant we came here to help in the first place. From the island."

BOOM! We get the reveal that the island. Krakoa, is a mutant and has been weakened by the experiments run on it by Master Mold and the Sentinel. Jean tells the group that they need to let Krakoa 'feed' on a piece of their energy to recupe its strength for it to help them and they all look to Ororo as it's her call, and she says they should do it. They do and the ground rumbles and shakes and we can see the island begin to terraform as it fights back against Master Mold and the Sentinels. It takes out MANY of them while the X-Men pick up the slack on the rest.

Ororo takes on Master Mold/Trask hybrid as the island begins to sink back into the ocean, with Trask, damaged, spouting nonsense. That he is there to save the world, that he is the FUTURE, the INEVITABLE, that the X-Men cannot prevent the world falling apart in the future, that they will be responsible for the apocalypse. However, with a lightning zap and some timely telekinesis, the group escapes back to the Blackbird as the rest of the island has already been evacuated.

The X-Men return to Westchester without Scott and inform Xavier of what happened.

Time moves on. They recover. They mourn. A memorial service is held for Scott. Xavier's original students, Warren, Bobby, Alex, Hank, and Lorna, decide to leave the school afterwards as they believe they need to come at the Sentinel problem another way. They form X-Force.

Xavier comes up to Ororo after the service and asks her to stay on, despite her having no obligation to do so. She watches Logan and Kurt keeping Kitty entertained while Piotr and James speak with her parents, about Kitty staying on at the school and learning from Professor Xavier, and decides that she would like to stay and lead the X-Men. Jean joins them and says that she'd be happy to be on any team Storm is leading, revealing that -of the original students - she is the only one who is staying with the X-Men. The three look out onto the horizon as there are endless possibilities for the X-Men now *play the theme song*

END CREDIT SCENE NUMBER ONE - Magneto watches Xavier's new team of X-Men in action and converses with Mystique, saying that, "If Charles has put together a new team of recruits, we should, too."

END CREDIT SCENE NUMBER TWO - A blonde woman in all white speaks with a raven-haird men with red eyes and a crimson diamond embedded in his head. "You pulled a lot of favors to get him, are you sure he's worth it?" "Believe me. He is." The duo, Emma Frost and Dr. Sinister are looking over the body of Scott Summers, very much NOT DEAD, held in stasis as the camera pans out and reveals the Hellfire Club.

And that would be how we introduce the X-Men, and mutants, into live action movies.

Find the difference between these three photos, I bet you can’t. (No but seriously I am a simple man this trio dynamic always gets me)

The transcoded (and in two cases also superhero) main character white boy, his slow burn love interest who doesn’t fit a “stereotypical girl” and who takes the back seat to the popular girl (Liz, Paulina, and Susie respectively) until mc comes to his senses, and genius nerd but girl crazy best friend who is always integral to mc’d schemes.

Specifically the Danny phantom and Spider-Man trios are like EXACTLY the same: but I feel like Ned’s declassified is an honorable mention.

I just had a really good shifting attempt! I’ve been falling asleep during a lot of my attempts recently so I thought, why not switch it up and try shifting fully awake during the day.

I used shiftingwithReya’s guided meditation and I was actually awake enough to focus. And for the first time ever I actually heard my CR fade away! (Her voice started to fade away) Ahhhhh

Anyway I didn’t shift obviously but I’m so happy about the progress!! I’m gonna start her “reprogramming your mind” thing today as well. Will update on any progress with that.

“tony stark listens to AC/DC” “tony stark always listens to hard rock” shut up that’s canon. I don’t care about canon.

In my head, tony stark listens to Va by Ryan Roth on repeat for hours doing repetitive work and watching the sunrise

✧ Princess Shuri Comic Reading Guide! ✧

The one and only Princess Shuri of Wakanda has long established herself as one of the most important players of the Black Panther franchise since her comic debut back in 2005. An heiress to the throne, a proficient warrior, and a genius to boot, Shuri is light-years away from being known as just "T'Challa's little sister". Can't get enough of her? Get to know her in the comics with this reading guide!

please note: this doesn't detail every shuri appearance, but rather the ones i feel are must-reads for shuri stans with some fun ones thrown in as well! 💜

more in-depth discussion below:

1.) Black Panther (2005)

- Black Panther 2005 marks Shuri's debut and introduces us to her character, as well as setting the tone for her future appearances. I won't spoil it for those coming from the MCU and those who haven't read, but let's just say she's very different from her MCU self. Shuri appears in several issues, but to get the gist of her character, one only need read Issues #2-6.

2.) Black Panther (2009)

- With T'Challa unavailable, Shuri dons the Black Panther mantle for the first time to protect Wakanda from threats. This twelve issue run details her journey as the BP, and is a must-read for Shuri stans. We're treated to several brutal yet epic Shuri fight scenes, as well as appearances from the likes of Storm, Doctor Doom, and (for the BPWF fans!) Namor.

Fun Fact: BP 2009 Issue #11 marks the first time Namor and Shuri fought. Thirteen years later, Wakanda Forever brought their beef to the big screen on Nov 11, aka, 11.11!

3.) Doomwar (2010)

- Shuri and the rest of the Wakandan Royal Family face off against one of Wakanda's biggest threats in Doctor Doom. Doomwar is hailed as one of Black Panther's more noteable runs, and Shuri in this arc is a fascinating character to say the least. Her ruthless and unhinged side is definitely unlocked during this story, and she is arguably at the worst we've seen of her yet. If you enjoy female rage, revenge, and more dramatic storylines, Doomwar is one you'll definitely enjoy.

4.) Klaws of the Panther (2010)

- Shuri travels to the Savage Lands and teams up with familiar faces as she works to finally take down Ulysses Klaw. This run really highlights the fact that Shuri's most dysfunctional flaw is her rage, and she learns that working around her worst trait is going to be as harrowing a battle as the one she's setting out on to protect Wakanda.

5.) The New Avengers, Time Runs Out, Infinity (2013)

- Though not center stage for this saga, Shuri is heavily featured in T'Challa's story and is Black Panther alongside him as well as reigning ruler of Wakanda. No spoilers, but let's just say this end only marks a new, exciting beginning for Shuri.

6.) Black Panther (2016)

- Wakanda's mystics and more spiritual side is explored in this run, with Shuri spearheading this specific field. She may or may not have new powers, as well as a new title (and a new hair color lol).

7.) Shuri (2018)

- Finally, Shuri's solo run! This is Shuri's first solo without the Black Panther franchise attached to her name and her character has also been updated to be much more in line with her MCU self. This was truly written for her fans specifically, and we're treated to Shuri's endearing wit, epic action sequences, as well as team-ups with other fan favorites such as Tony Stark, Miles Morales, and Kamala Khan.

8.) Ironheart (2019)

- Shuri makes a guest appearance in Riri Williams' 2019 solo! Despite her appearance being fleeting, I had to include this because the way Shuri and Riri are juxtaposed and contrasted despite being so similar is so fascinating and allows a look into Shuri's more fascinating flawed side. Their friendship and also Riri finding another home in Wakanda is also incredibly heartwarming.

9.) X-Men X of Swords: Maurauders #13 (2019)

- Shuri's appearance is very fleeting here, but I thought it was worth including because she goes head to head against her ex-sister in law Storm in a tense yet amazing duel scene. For both Storm and Shuri stans alike!

10.) Black Panther (2021)

Heavily focuses on the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, Shuri is heavily featured and gives you important knowledge you need to know before proceeding to Wakanda (2022)

11.) Wakanda (2022)

- The Wakanda series focuses on the Black Panther characters without the titular Black Panther. Shuri's story explores how she protects her people even without the mantle. Explores the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda and has a nice, unique sci-fi feel.

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

• Shuri & T'Challa: Into the Heartlands by Roseanne A. Brown

- If you can't get enough of Shuri and T'Challa's heartwarming sibling bond, do check out Into the Heartlands, a graphic novel for younger readers! It features a team-up in the brother-sister duo's childhood and a cute artstyle.

• Shuri: Black Panther Novels by Nic Stone

- This Shuri solo by Nic Stone is not a comic run or a graphic novel, but rather a trilogy of novels with our favorite Princess taking center stage. It's for younger readers and adapts Shuri's MCU personality while going off of comic lore. Doesn't really add to the comics, but it's good fun and does provide us with our fill of Shuri content. Plus, she's absolutely adorable in these.

That's all for now, but make sure to always be on the lookout for more Shuri comic appearances! Rest assured I'll update should more content come out. Stream Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, available on Disney+! Thank you for checking this little compilation out and I hope it helps with your journey into getting to know everyone's favorite warrior Princess. Remember to keep showing Shuri all the support and love! Who knows, they might give us another solo run if we show we want more of her...👀💜

Scintillation, Chapter 3

First of the month, time to update some fics since NaNo has ended…

Title: Scintillation, Chapter 3

Fandom: MCU

Pairings: Tony Stark/James “Bucky” Barnes, Erik Killmonger/T’Challa, one-sided Steve Rogers/James “Bucky” Barnes

Fic summary:

Everything changed for Tony Stark in a cave in Afghanistan. For years he’s been dealing with the fallout of the shrapnel imbedded in his chest—both physical and mental—in his own ways. He’s got an arc reactor in his chest and demons that stalk him in his mind as he becomes Iron Man and eventually an accepted part of the Avengers during the attack on New York City.

All he has to do is keep giving people what they want. That’s the lesson learned.

Die, resurrect, live as much as you can. Wash, rinse, repeat. He thought he’d known why he was the way he was… but he and everyone else missed one tiny little detail caused by his repetitive brushes with death.

Or, a guide coming online as he almost dies yet again at the hand of a friend shatters the controls put upon the Winter Soldier and sends Sentinel James Buchanan Barnes fully online and into a feral rage in the middle of Siberia.

Steve’s lucky T’Challa’s there to rescue him from his best friend gone feral.

Tags/warnings: MCU canon levels of violence. Howard Stark’s A++parenting, panic attacks, PTSD, unhealthy coping mechanisms, Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, will eventually have bonding sex (and other explicit sex acts for enjoyment—no rape), issues of consent with Sentinel bonding with a guide to save their life, Sentinel/Guides are known, spirit animals, Discussions of racism (T’Challa, Erik and Tony have some talking to do), interrelationship and partner violence mentioned, Discussion of child neglect (Tony and Erik) and poverty (Erik, Steve, Bucky), Not Kind to Steve Rogers (eventually he gets better), other tags to be added later—will warn at top of chapter if not listed here although I feel like Erik is his own kind of warning.

T'Challa wakes before Erik. He exhausted his sentinel last night, pushing them both to the point where there hadn't been any residual resistance in their bond, which hums strongly between them.

That lingering resistance had been maddening. A constant tug and irritation that he didn't have his sentinel fully because they'd been interrupted before they could complete the bond like they had last night.

He shouldn't have listened to his mother or Zuri for so long—he'd hurt his sentinel with his reticence. The one thing an orphan from California hadn't needed from his true-match guide was hesitation because he wasn't one of them.

Read chapter 3 here on AO3
