No Flapjack? I'd hate to see the casting call that goes out for that role...

> The only copyright infrigement I'd be worried about would be Vizh; either his name and/or his outfit would have to be tweaked. Since Donar can be said to be based on the Thor of norse mythology as opposed to Marvel or DC's Thor, I think we'd be okay there.

I'm always surprised that people think Vizh is problematic. At most, I could see having to lose the yellow diamond, but that's about it.

> This particular cast allows for great fight scenes, a love story, product placement (Hatman using sports caps), and comedy. My only concern is there's nobody there for CSFB! to really annoy (I ended up cutting Mr. Epitome for Sorceress), so I think Hatman would have to take that role.

> I could easily cut Hatman from this line-up in favour of Sir Mumphrey (who in the first movie would have to be an old man with time manipulation abilities as opposed to a cosmic office holder), as I think Hatman brings the least to the table, other than the potential product placement since Vizh can fill the straight man role. Otherwise I like this cast for unique abilities/personalities as well as very different visuals, allowing for easy identification from the audience.

Nah... I agree with shrike... Hatty's needed for the action/FX possibilities.

> Maybe we should do a series of QORN where a line-up is given and we then have to come up with a plot for that specific cast? Just to change it up a bit.

Hey, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be in charge of the QORN anyway. I think I read it somewhere.
By all means, spin the casting wheel and see what people come up with...

> As to a plot, I think I'd perhaps try something like the earlier appearances of the Parody Master, with the PM manifesting in other hosts to try and conquer the planet. At the end it would be revealed that the Hooded Hood had been pulling the strings all the way, setting up the Hood as the villain for the sequel.

> I wouldn't do an origin story for the team, rather just jump right in treating them as established characters and getting the audience up to speed on the way. For an origin story, I'd consider a League of Regulars spin-off, with Visionary (who would be the key figure in the PM's defeat at the end of the first LL movie) being the tie between the two teams.

Yes, because after seeing that line-up in action, Visionary is the character people would most want to see spin-off.
