Movie Thoughts to Fanfiction

I'm actually having a hard time deciding what to type about for this post.  At first, I thought I would do something about tropes in film since this is the season we see a lot of repeat tropes.  It's Christmas so how do we present the meaning of the season?   Though I have to admit Disney+'s Noelle is definitely an exception that I look forward to watching multiple times.  I'll hopefully get a review about this one done by the end of this month...

But I wasn't sure how to start it or even where to focus.  Then I realized, I also wanted to get a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline figured out, but that's going to be so time-consuming, I don't know how long it would take, especially since the timeline will be determined in part by which ones are considered a part of it and which ones are just extras - Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk - because there are so many remakes that putting them in one timeline will give us plot holes no matter which version to use, and then there are the television series like Agent CarterAgents of Shield, Daredevil (which also has a movie...), and Jessica Jones.  Of course, there are more, but figuring out which ones get included and which ones are for a different universe version of the series.  There are a large number of versions of DC's iconic characters on par with the X-Men part of the MCU, though by no means is X-Men the only one in Marvel to have been recreated both on the big and small screens. 

Then I got some more ideas for fanfiction crossovers.  I got reminded of several other things I need to do to be able to write them, too.  First off, what if Wolverine was on the ship in the Riddick Trilogy?  Wolverine, a man as deadly as Riddick and with better healing ability and easier access to weapons, would definitely have some issues with the group and with Caroline Fry most importantly.  There would need to be some back story and he'd probably be able to either hear or smell the creatures living there.  I think he'd be practically on par with Riddick with a few advantages, mainly the fact that he wouldn't be as badly affected by the light, while still being able to defend himself and hear what was going on around him.  After escaping the planet, when they get picked up what if he found some of the other mutants in that floating personal museum.  Then there's how he'd react to the rest of what would occur there.  Then when dealing with the Necromongers, how would his mutant abilities change what we know to have happened?

Then I thought of if St. Trinian's was a sister school to St. Brutus' and if Harry had ended up being sent there after being expelled either before the second year or after the fourth year.  I'm a bit more enamored with it being after fourth.  Meeting the girls at the start of the first movie and setting up a system with them that allows him to keep using and learning magic without them realizing it.  After all, it was accidental magic that blew up his aunt.  This could also give Sirius Black a safe place to stay.  He might reveal himself during the second movie of St. Trinian's, but it could definitely mean a lot of different things.  One thing I could totally see Harry doing is making it so St. Trinian's doesn't have to worry about closing down...I think I'll go to work on this a bit more now.
