If I Ran the Zoo.

When instead of concentrating on what I should be doing, I am thinking up anything but.

For instance, rewriting the Green Lantern movie (the results I got were lackluster, honestly).  Superhero Origin Stories and Hal Jordan being what each is, there's only so far you can get.  I wouldn't cast Ryan Reynolds, but I wouldn't cast Mal Reynolds, either; I would rewrite Carol Channing as a GOD DAMNED ENGINEER, no really, a real engineer, and have some jumped up space pirate outfit be the main antagonists, with Sinestro as the mentor who's frustrations that will make him a villain are really starting to show.  That's about as far as I got.

Then I started thinking about the X-men and if I got a chance to reboot the original team, what I would do.  The short version ETA got eeted by the LJ Cut, wasn't so short, nor very interesting.

To be clear, I don't think I could do better from nothing than the people who created these things in the first place, at least, not creating them, it's just fun to play with other peoples' toys, sometimes.  

It's not as bad as when I rewrite the Star Wars Prequels (that was epic), but pretty bad.  Wow.  I wonder if the cats need a fresh coat of wax.
