I thought the Arena of Thought thread would be where we discuss ideas and (hopefully) teach each other new things, new viewpoints, and hopefully correct misinterpretations, like the hypothetical arena of ideas I've seen videos about on how the internet is described and why staying in your own head dilutes the amount of new information coming through

[King Zultan]

Nope just me and Novel talking about theoretical action movie.

Neo energy has to be part of this guy, not actually Keanu Reeves though, something more like Malcolm Reynolds.

Badass though, and not the cliche thinker. More of a straight badass asian guy then a "rogue".

You're taking about a guy closer to Yakuza or Rambo?

[Scoops Novel]

Yeah, someone like the guy from the Yakuza game but reversed

[King Zultan]

Not really sure what you mean by a revers yakuza.

[Scoops Novel]

The game is Yakuza: Like a Dragon

So a dragon in reverse. A salamander guy

Yeah, a salamander Tshirt is all the style you need for this guy.

[King Zultan]

So instead of a big strong thing we're a little squishy thing, not sure about that one I thought this was supposed to be an action movie and the hero of action movies are typically big and strong. Unless we're the smart guy that's the brains of the operation.

[Scoops Novel]

... That's a different style of protagonist then I was thinking of. I was thinking of dealing with problems as they come up, rather then mentally setting up the arena yourself; which to be fair you do. Half the time.

I was thinking of this salamander t-shirt as like a signature, of his intellect. Just a guy who can think, you know? If we're going with the guy who sets up his mental dojo, it's more like a dragon but not necessarily.

We should probably combine the two intellectual methods. A dragon and a salamander tshirt! Maybe the dragon in the air with it's claws out and the salamander darting around under it's tail.

[King Zultan]

So are the t-shirts like the source of his power or something because you seem to really be focusing on the shirt.

[Scoops Novel]

You've got to make him an action hero who looks like he can think - in a relatable way for the audience.

[King Zultan]

So he's the average Joe but with glasses that's secretly much more than that.

[Scoops Novel]

Nah, he has to be cooler then that. Trying without looking like he queued up to try maybe.

People know the glasses badass, you know? You want something where your so like, a little uncomfortable with the idea of a guy like THIS! being smarter then you. But he a 100% sells it.

[King Zultan]

Like Rocky but with glasses and smart?


Also when it comes to fighting does our guy use guns or his fists?

[Scoops Novel]

Like Rocky but with glasses and smart?

More snaky.

Yeah he uses his fist, but he'll also hit you with anything available.

[King Zultan]

So he's a brawler with brawn and brains fighting an army of clones of himself, sounds like it'll be an interesting movie, I'm assuming it'll be sci-fi, but will it be a futuristic setting or a more modern one?

[Scoops Novel]

"More" modern.
