I’m planning to offer my screenwriting skills to Bob Iger, who is Reverse-King Midas - I.e., everything he touches from SW turns into a steaming pile of cr@p.
So, my script will rejuvenate Mickey (even though no one is asking for it) with a subversive interpretation where he’s a boozer loser, and who’s failed at life. Turns out Pluto, Minnie and everyone else have either passed on or are in therapy because of him. His shows have failed and there was no happy ending. Worst of all, his enemy, Pete, has taken over.
But the twist will be that a spunky new Mouseketeer arrives and is even more chipper and loveable than Mickey, who ends up evaporating in that humid Orlando weather. (So, whatever goodwill Mickey had generated over several decades has now been completely wiped from “canon.”) Meanwhile, the new munchkin throws Pete, who’s apparently the munchkin’s dad, grandad and possibly sibling (all in one) into a deep well. The munchkin celebrates by open mouth kissing Pete’s other kid, who is hence her brother and then also evaporates into that orlando humidity. The end.
I want the accolades and $10m for that piece of subversive cinema. I’ll rewrite Indiana Jones for free. Turns out Adam Driver is Indy’s other son and he kills Indy, because he’s an emo punk who wants the golden idol.
PS I like all the ST actors. It’s the producers and directors that I blame.
