Life Is Strange:Warren's story

I came up with a game idea or comic idea where we play as Warren or Warren is the protagonist of this comic series during Post-Save the Bay. I don't have a clever title for this hypothetical LIS story, so let's call it LIS:Healing.

Warren's story. It opens on the ending where Max sacrificed Chloe. Warren is in the chemistry class and the gunshot goes off. Everyone is freaked out and when Nathan is arrested and Chloe Price's body is hauled out. Max is still in the bathroom. Warren goes to comfort her and tells him he is here for her. Then the funeral happens. But we hear everyone's reactions to Chloe and Rachel's deaths.

It would be about Warren helping Max through the worst period in her life and helping Max live again. Warren would be Max’s angel to a same degree as to what Rachel was to Chloe. Warren would be there for Max in her mourning and grieving period and helped her move on from Chloe’s death.

Throughout the game Warren is there to help Max through the darkest period through her life and help Max through her grieving. We'd also get to learn about Warren as a character, why he loves science, sci-fi and has obscure interests(My pitch is Warren is the male Matilda, was neglected as a child, so he chose books and science as his passion and sci-fi and it made him feel whole.) and show why Warren loves Max.

From Warren's POV, Max is one of the best friends he's ever made. She's kind, funny and brave. Stands up to the bullies, while Warren dealt with quiet bullying. Max's strength and kindness inspired Warren and to Warren, Max is his twin flame and that's why he loves her. Now it's time for Warren to be strong for Max.

Side note. I thought of giving Warren some sort of healing power, but sided against it when I feel like Warren helping Max without powers is more effective.

Warren basically becomes to Max as what Rachel was for Chloe. As Kate put it "even angels need angels Max" It could end with Warren bringing Max out of her depression and helping Max live again.

Epilogue ultimately shows Max living her life and moving on. Show that Max still misses Chloe, but show her living her life. And just show Max living her best life with Warren, Kate, Brooke, Dana, Daniel, Stella and Alyssa. Even show montage of a friendship with Victoria. Show Max having a tea date with Kate. Show Max Goin Ape with Warren. Max doing photoshoots with Victoria and shopping dates with Victoria, Courtney and Taylor. Max doing group projects and games with Warren, Kate, Brooke, Stella, Alyssa, and Daniel. Max being Dana’s official photographer. Max helping Joyce heal through their mutual grieving of Chloe but not letting Chloe's loss take away from the wonderful memories and feeling in their hearts that Chloe is till with them. And show Max and her friends graduating Blackwell and living their lives in Arcadia Bay. We just needed to see that despite losing Chloe, Max is okay and that while she will hold onto the memories of Chloe, she can live. The final scene is Max and Warren visiting the Lighthouse. The Blue Butterfly appears and it touches Max and as the Butterfly flies away, Max says "Goodbye Chloe as Warren holds onto Max and shares a kiss at the Lighthouse.”

I made this mostly because I was upset over Warren's absence in DE, but mostly it's because there is so much potential in Post-Save The Bay ending. They have an ending there with so much potential to talk about overcoming the death of a loved one with the help of other people, like it could've been a parallel to Rachel and Chloe helping each other, but Max turning out better because of the positive influences in her life… but no. They still want to haul away Chloe's dead body.

And it gets worse if the leaks are to be believed. The Max who saved the Bay apparently never got over the death of Chloe. There is so much what they can do. Max has Warren, Kate, Joyce, Dana and the rest of her friends in Arcadia Bay who can help Max find closure and help recover from moving on from Chloe's death.

But no. We can't have Max having a life in Arcadia Bay, she has to start over and apparently isn't allowed to have attachments from Arcadia Bay like Warren and Kate. Oh and apparently Max's animal goes from a Doe to an Owl...fucking Jefferson's animal. I don't care if it's her school's mascot or not, replacing Max's animal with Jefferson's animal is a choice, there is no way the writer's of the game cannot understand why this change feels so jarring and weird.

And yes, I understand things change. Max is 28 in DE and something like all the stuff that happened in Arcadia would traumatize Max. But it feels alienating the fans of the other Arcadia Bay characters that just wanted to see what they're doing with their lives after they survived the storm. Apparently we don't even get that luxury, we replace the characters we already know and love with new characters I feel absolutely nothing for and Arcadia Bay for something new, the difference being is Arcadia Bay felt alive, this snowy wasteland feels style over substance. At best we're just going to get updates about Warren via text or social media. At worst, D9 will demonize Warren to appease the rabid fanbase.

I came up with my own headcanon on what could happen to Warren in the events of DE.

Maybe Max will say "There was this boy I liked, but it didn't work out because I just couldn't get over the loss of my best friend and my own trauma, I didn't want to burden him, so I left. He deserved better than me."

Maybe via text and social media we will see Warren's moved on with his life. He's working on becoming a science professor at university of Oregon, tried things with Brooke but it didn't work out and in his spare time he's a gaming streamer and makes indie fan films. But Warren still cares for Max and always tries to check in with her.

I'd like to see from Kate and Victoria as well. Kate writes books for children and does podcasts to help teenagers and young adults with bullying and any trauma they may be suffering from. Victoria leads her family's gallery, but hasn't touched a camera since she found out what a monster Jefferson really is.

Of course any and all this is asking for too much since none of these characters have been getting love or attention from D9 or SE. Knowing how well that they like to cater to the fandom, they'll do something to demonize Warren and paint him as a creepy stalker the fandom perceives him as. Victoria will regress to the Queen Bee and we won't hear anything from Kate.

Even when the choice is given to us of a game centering around Post-Bay, there is still barely crumbs about Warren, Kate and everyone else from Arcadia Bay and my hypothetical story feels like the closest we'll get to proper Max/Warren content Post-Bay.

Life is Strange (2015) & Each Optional Conversation Character [1/3]: Hayden | Ms. Grant | Justin | Brooke | Daniel | Stella | Evan | Luke | Alyssa | Kate

This interaction when Daniel draws Max is so interesting to me, because it’s the first time she’s actively compared (dare I say, comparing herself) to Rachel, and we can already see her being the tiniest bit bitter about it, because she thinks she’s a replacement (and she didn’t even reunite with Chloe yet!) and she already thinks she can’t possibly compare. The only other times when she expresses those insecurities are when she sees glimpses of Rachel and Chloe’s relationship in the junkyard (and it’s only internal monologue) or when she’s telling Joyce that Rachel is way more amazing than her, but again, it’s after she already knows who she is and how important she was to everyone around her. The fact that we can observe this way before when the only thing we know about Rachel yet is that she’s missing shows to us, as the player, that she’s important and that there’s something intriguing about her, but it also shows to Max, who’s already seen posters with that girl’s face plastered around her school, that she can’t ignore her lingering presence, that there’s something bigger behind this disappearance (and she understood that quickly; look at her trying to find links between Rachel and Kate since the end of ep 2), and that maybe, just maybe, she’s not completely gone.

Daniel sounds like a Brennan Lee Mulligan NPC

Daniel DaCosta is chill. I never really found him to be weird or anything.

Be my victim!

Happy Halloween folks, this is my favorite time of year. The air is chilly the leaves are beautiful and the vibes are immaculate.

Candyman is one of those horror movies that stand up well nowadays especially because it’s very based. But also the issues and themes it decides to tackle are still very relevant. I love the fact that horror movies can be so transgressive as a medium. Another one that comes to mind is my bloody valentine and its critiques on capitalism and commercialism, it is super fun that they use the holiday to tell that story.

It’s why I was happy that candyman got another film much later after its initial release. It talks about systemic racism and the cycles it forms in both movies as a narrative through line. You would have to be a different form of dense to not understand its messaging. Im glad that candyman wasn’t just about the past but about the problems that still effected black Americans at the times each movie released. I like that this movie is still remembered well and is still talked about

Day One of CinemaCon is in the can.

What wares did Sony bring to the proverbial tent?

-The long-threatened four picture "cinematic event" that is the Sam Mendes' films about the members of The Beatles.

Four films too many, if you ask me. Hitting the theaters April 2028 (please let Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr still be around).

-A double dose of Spider-Man (Spider-Men?).

SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDERVERSE swinging to theaters on June 4, 2027.

-Nia DaCosta and Danny Boyle were on hand to talk 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. Boyle confirms Cillian Murphy's return to the film series, but just not yet as he is still seeking funding for a third film.

I'm satisfied with Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

-Footage from KARATE KID: LEGENDS with Jackie Chan reprising his role as Mr. Han from the 2010 KARATE KID and forever Daniel LaRusso, Ralph Macchio reprising his role from the films and the just-ended series COBRA KAI and newcomer Ben Wang.

-Favourable response to teaser footage from the follow-up to I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles.

-Audiences were treated to the trailer of A BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell; who reunites with his AFTER YANG director Kogonada for the film which is described as, "...an original tale of two strangers and the extraordinary emotional journey that connects them."

-Zach Cregger teased his plans for RESIDENT EVIL; saying his film "will focus on one central protagonist going on a point A to B journey, slowly falling more into hellish territory."

-GODZILLA MINUS ONE director Takashi Yamazaki will bring his first English language film to Sony: GRANDGEAR.

-Word that Neill Blomkamp's STARSHIP TROOPERS will be based on the novel and not the camp classic film. In other words; expect a tonal difference.

-You didn't ask for another JUMANJI? Too damn bad, cos you're getting one. JUMANJI 3 rolling the dice in theaters in December 2026.

-Trailer for Darren Aronofsky's CAUGHT STEALING starring Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Matt Smith, Bad Bunny and Liev Schreiber was shown.

-Other projects bandied about: the live-action LEGEND OF ZELDA releasing on March 26, 2027; Nate Bargatze's comedy THE BREADWINNER and Taika Waititi's KLARA AND THE SUN.

I had to make a poster in my graphic arts class and I just watched candyman so I wanted to make a poster for it

THE MARVELS (2023) GRADE: D

Definitely forgettable. Not s strong idea to introduce TV char's. She deserved her own storyline. Huge drop-off from the 1st movie. No idea why they will tie in a Disney show so heavily sowed into the script.

[ewzzy]

That time the New Mutants saw Cats on Broadway.

[agentem]

Nia DaCosta speaks about Iron Man 3's influence on The Marvels, advice from Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Ryan Coogler (Black Panther); and her three leads.
