Weapon-X

heres the thing, im writing a script called "Final Destiney", it is about a race from another portal taking over the earth and destroying it pretty much, The earth has a protector, an old wise man, he has a pupil with him that is usualy the Earths defender, (his name Kaito).but this peril is too great for Kaito and when he incoincidencly meets up with a young teenager by the name of Mathias he takes him in as his student, knowing he will need allthe help he can gather, and teaches him how to use his "KI" to his speacial abilities (the fighting is a rip-off of DBZ, so they can fly and do those energy blasts). Anyway in the end it is Mathias vs the leader of the race from the portal, Mathias eventualy wins.
this is where im stuck now, after Mathias wins the earth is pretty banged up, were talking everything in rubble and barely any buildings standing. The thing i'm stuck at is i cant just leave the Earth like that can i? thats what is really making me mad, i came up with some ideas but they are cheezy at best, one was that when Mathias closes the portal every damage done to the Earth is reverted, but i think that is too cheap, so i was wondering if any one here could come up with an idea on how to restore the Earth to what it was.
please dont copy my idea for this movie. Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like Anime to me. Let me know how the finished product turns out.

Well the cliche solution is to have the Old Man sacrifice his powers (or better yet his life) to rebuild the Earth leaving Kaito as the new sensai protector.
Oh and I'm moving this to fics.

pick up a book called "story" by robert mckee. it's by far the best book on screen writing you'll ever see.
and if you want to restore earth to where it was don't do it by tacking something on the end to "fix" it. add some sort of subplot to address that paticular issue.

Heres my suggestion. Midgets. Lots of them. You can't go wrong with midgets.

End it like DEEP IMPACT, with the people of Earth repairing the damage, slowly but surely. And, as was mentioned before, be sure to pick up STORY by Robert McKee.

you suck dick! This script is a ****ing ripoff of everything on tv and in some DS9 books. You son of a *****/whore. You stole everything you cocksucker! You are a dirty, no good, taking it up the ass from Mohammed, flabby-assed dank; you goddamn pecker-wood, astro-glider right between the tits jerk.
For anyone who also hates this script, the arsehole who wrote it is named Usman Ijaz. He lives in Kingston, Ontario, right behind a Walmart. He's 17, and he goes to LCVI (this is for all you pedophiles out there who want a nice, juicy piece of immigrant ass)
That's enough for now. Anyone who objects will be subject to ass-rape.

Leave the world in rubble with some cheezy diologe over a montage of rubble saying they won the war but what for, what else is there to live for. You know the sort of cheezy diologe I mean.Originally posted by Frizzo the Clown

EDIT: Damn! I just noticed the date.

I think you should kill everyone off, and have the earth taken over by people with asses on their faces and faces on their asses,they should then call the earth assholia!

This is so much a DBZ rip-off that I'm sure the folks watching wouldn't mind if, out of nowhere, your main character pulls out a set of Dragonballs and wishes for the earth to be restored...

Have the survivors of devastated Earth blame the heros for the destruction, and brand them as traitors to Earth. Under harsh conditions, society gets pragmatic i.e. military police state voluntarily imposed to rebuild. Heros go on the run. Earth is the bad guy now. The rest is up to casting. Those guys can find anyone.
