STORY COMMENTS
THE CATALYST is an action movie with a supernatural twist. The script presents as an original sci-fi, action-adventure film with a very intriguing concept. The idea of a drug that gives teenagers superpowers feels like a solid premise for a film, as well as a possible TV series. One can definitely see the merit in the idea.
Moreover, the idea that there’s a special ops team, made-up of these teens, to battle the malevolent teens is a smart story choice. The story can attract the teen target audience.
At the core is a classic good vs. evil story. THE CATALYST explores the old question, “If you had powers, would you use them for good or bad?” It’s a theme explored in many movies and TV shows. It’s a solid theme.
While the concept is truly appealing, the structure hinders the story, as the script would benefit from more

    Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona’s graphic novel Runaways: Pride and Joy is a short story that illustrates the importance of not only growing up and becoming independent, but also creating one’s own life path rather than following the one that one’s parents have forced upon him or her. By following a group of youths – Alex, Chase, Gert, Karolina, Molly, and Nico – that unite to fight against their supervillain parents, Vaughan and Alphona demonstrate that, while a child is genetically predisposed to have characteristics, or “superpowers”, either identical to or similar to those of his or her parents, he or she need not use them in the same way as his or her parents. In the present-day city of Los Angeles, Alex, Chase, Gert, Karolina, Molly,…

    “While many struggle for survival, others in the same society enjoy the benefits of great wealth.” (3, Rothman) The aspect of racial and economic oppression within the modern United States is unquestionable and has been since the beginning of our country as we know it. Although we have made improvements, whether they are far and few between, it does not ensure a colorblind society. As we become a more modern society, technologically speaking, we can see how far behind we are in terms of racism and oppression, specifically within the lower class.…
