Forrest Gump from Jenny's perspective.
I find these types of thoughts intriguing. As a matter of fact, our local HS theater is putting out a play called "Puffs" set in the Harry Potter World and follows kids who weren't in the "cool crowd" out galivanting and fighting off dementors & Voldemort. I'm looking forward to taking my kids (9 & 10) to see this. The play description is below:
Quote:
This fast-paced magical farce follows a loyal and kind group of students, the Puffs, as they navigate magic and friendship all while Harry is off playing the hero.
This show is sure to be fun for the whole family (some viewer discretion is advised for adult language and humor). If you are a fan of the Potter universe but want to see things from a new POV, this is the show for you! Although, you do not need to be a fan to enjoy this story!
Rounders: Worm. Still hoping this happens someday.

You could seriously tell Black Panther from MIchael B Jordan's POV and it would be great. You wouldn't even know he was the villain until deep into the movie.
The guy who wants to enslave the rest of the world as his goal and we wouldn't be able to tell he was the villain?
I'd like to see them make a movie out of Ender's Shadow, which was the events of Ender's Game but told from Bean's perspective. It was the better book.

If you followed him from his dad being murdered by some crazy guy in a bizarre power suit to joining the US Marines, getting a lot of kills of bad guys, infiltrating Klaue's gang, killing Klaue and reclaiming stolen Wakanda artifacts, yeah he could be the hero.

You are the drift king of Tokyo and have a easy high end position in your family's business. One day a punk ass American shows up, steals your girl, and destroys your life.
You are flying with your wingman over the Persian Gulf when you mistakingly fly into the enemy airspace. Within minutes, two F-14 fighter jets are flying towards you. There is no way they will be able to outfly your new MiG. After a bunch of peacocking between you and the Americans, one of the F-14 aviators flies inverted over your canopy and flashes a middle finger at you. You see "Maverick" written on his helmet. WTF, how could beat you in a dogfight and disgrace you in such a way. Afterwards you fly back to your base.
Over the following months you are gacked on anger over what the American Naval aviator did to you and you must pay him back. Without telling any commanding officers, you takeoff and start flying your MiG towards enemy airspace ready to take out any F-14 you see in the sky, hoping this so-called Maverick is the one flying. Multiple MiGs are scrambled to chase after you and talk you out of it. By the time they reach you, multiple F-14s are detected on your radar. A glorious dogfight ensues, and then you see the familiar tail number for that Maverick scum. After a very dangerous braking maneuver, you find yourself on the losing end of a sidewinder missile. Fade to black

The whole movie is the kids whining about their little teenage problems and how they are treated like stereotypes instead of others really getting to know them.
Yet, that's exactly what they do to Principal Vernon. He's a caricature of a mean old guy. But clearly this is not what he wants to be doing on his Saturday or where he wants to be all day either. He is clearly going through some stuff that makes him so easily frustrated.
It would be nice to hear how his grown man problems compare to their teenage problems. Perhaps we get to see him and the janitor discussing their home lives and family problems that may somewhat mirror the students' experiences, but from a parent's perspective.

I think any of the other crew in Usual Suspects would be good. I've always been curious how different the story would have been .
I wrote a short story for my creative writing class at A&M 28 years ago about how during Return of the Jedi, Wedge is about to volunteer to lead the attack on the Death Star, then finds out Lando has been promoted to General somehow, then is about to volunteer to lead the attack on the shield generator, only to find out Han Solo has also been promoted, then is about to volunteer to come along for the mission when Luke shows up and says he wants to go too. Then Wedge has a nervous breakdown.

The Last Man on Earth was a Vincent Price film that the books author (Richard Matheson) wrote the original screenplay for. It was rewrote enough that he took his name off the project. Its ending, however, is close to the book's as the protagonist has become the "monster of legend" to the undead infected survivors.YouBet said:AgTrip said:Was this from the book? I think I heard someone say that the book was very different than the movie as often the case.hunter2012 said:The whole point of the title and the plot is that he had become a legendary predator to the infected and he was essentially their boogeyman. The kids that he found were wards that were sent to lure him into a trap, they were on the infected side the whole time. Will Smith could have pulled it off, it was the sorry script that took it off it's rails.AgTrip said:
I heard that in I Am Legend, Will Smith's character Neville was the bad guy. Grabbing the infected and experimenting on them. I don't know if that would warrant a whole movie from their point of view but it was an interesting perspective.
Very different. The movie borrowed the name.

Tombstone
There was a fiction book I read several years back that touched on it a little called "Johnny Ringo: Unknown Destiny"
Aaron Spelling's first TV series was called Johnny Ringo, and is very, very, very loosely based on the gunfighter.
In it, Ringo is a lawman.
I've watched a few episodes on Youtube. Although it's a western from the early 50s, it's still pretty interesting.
It's something I would have happily watched if there weren't 11 million other options.
Kung Fu Panda from a member of the Furious 5, probably Crane because of David Cross.

On a similar note, I always enjoyed how they basically made Thanos the protagonist of Infinity War and the movie was kind of from his perspective.
