" In the future, intelligent robots seek the right to vote, but some humans object."
Polls, 2031

In a post AI-Human war world, various sects of humanity don’t trust the AI, who’d previously rebelled and caused a war, taking 400 million lives. However, despite what humans think, these AI, or ‘Synthoids’, aren’t the same as the old AI who plotted to genocide biological life. The Synthoids merely seek to be held up to same standards as Humans. There’s an ongoing movement among the Synthoids to be given human rights, and it’s worked quite well. Only one last hurdle; the right to vote. Something which the human elites are very concerned about.

The film follows a young Synthoid as they face the ripple effects of the discourse and discrimination. Along the way, he befriends many humans and Synthoid alike, and helps make a difference, eventually delivering a speech at a rally televised to the world, live. While not explicitly stated in the film, it ends with public opinion changing, and the likely possibility of the Synthoid finally being 100% integrated.

"What if the Snap Shrunk People?", an episode of What If? True to its name, instead of dusting half the universe, it causes half the universe to shrink in size (much to Thanos' annoyance), and that includes all people on Earth. Among other things, Both Pyms and Scott Lang has become leaders of the US, using their tech to help restore the size of everyone, while having to defend San Francisco's shrunk people from what threatens them.

"It's Gotta Be True", a 2011 film. While advertised as a doofy road comedy a la Eurotrip, it turned out to be a pretty thoughtful dramedy mediating on what drives people to believe in conspiracies.

"A story set in a world that runs on an inverted form of lamrackism, where for instance a strong, tall man's offspring would grow up to be very weak, or a total moron's child would be a genius prodigy."

Generations

This family drama follows three men: Jerry, Taylor, and Michael. Jerry was a football star in school and has the awards to prove it. His son, Taylor, however, tried to follow in dad's steps, but had no chance. He was only on the team as a water boy. Jerry and Taylor have never been close because of this. Taylor has a son named Michael, and Jerry is excited to see a strong young man carrying on the family name. Jerry and Michael grow close while Taylor does all he can to spend time with Michael and gain his respect. When the school's sports funds vanish, it appears that the football program may have to be cut. Jerry and Michael are sad, but Taylor sees a way to finally gain the respect he seeks. He organizes a campaign to finance the team, but Jerry tries to take over the effort. This leads to a confrontation between son and father, and Jerry admits he shouldn't be trying to take over the father role. Taylor is able to get the money together, and he becomes a hero. Michael, meanwhile, tells his dad that he always had respect for him. All three men find a new bond between them.

"Overripe", a horror comedy about a group of scientists who discover in an Egyptians tomb a fruit that promotes cellular regrowth, and gets commodified by a corporation. However, the fruits respond to the morality of the consumer: while decent and caring people get it fairly good, rotten people get it worse: aged down into fetuses, giant tumours sprouting, or wasting away are just a few side effects that happen.

Student Union

The name of Heidi Peterson is feared at Hillcrest Jr. High. She is the self-titled queen and rules with force. It also doesn't help that he father, Kevin, is on the school board.

Pam arrives at Hillcrest, and it isn't long before Heidi lets her know who's in charge. Pam refuses to submit, and Heidi makes Pam the victim of a prank. Pam, who left her school because of another bully, decides to take it no longer. She talks to all of Heidi's victims and convinces them that they are strong together and can topple the queen. Heidi's sister, Jane, eagerly joins, and provides information on her sister. The Union, as the students call it, hold up Pam as their candidate for student president. Meanwhile, Heidi finds her power and fear disappearing as her orders go ignored and her lead in the race slips. When Heidi discovers Jane is a mole, she goes to her dad.

The Union finds itself being questioned by Kevin and the school board, and Pam could be removed from the ballot. This leads to Jane finally putting her foot down to her bratty sister. Heidi, however, is certain she will knock down Pam and her Union, making disparaging statements about certain teachers. At the final debate, things are in a dead heat until Jane plays a recording of her sister's comments, including one about her father. Heidi is pulled away from the debate by her father. In the end, Pam wins the race, and Heidi ends up friendless and unhappy. Pam, though, offers her a hand in friendship if she's willing to change.

In the old days

An engineer and a philosopher are debating the possibility of time travel. The engineer doubts it's possible, but the philosopher says it can be done. He introduces the engineer to an 85 yr old named Nick, and Nick tells the engineer about his life. After several meetings with Nick, the engineer admits that time travel is real, according to how you define it.

"Time Abundant" is a sci-fi mystery (partly slice of life) thriller starring ___ as Vanessa Hernan. All seems to going well when Vanessa inherits a watch of an extraordinarily convenient power. However, things take a turn for the worse when in her life she begins to discover some previously "undone negative moments" still happened through living their obvious consequences. Trying everything to fix them again, most notably spamming the "turn back" power of the watch, Vanessa soon learns she has a doppelganger from some previously discarded timeline where she misplaced the little device. The other Vanessa had been stalking herself & re-doing what Vannesa 1 had erased or even worse.

Fantasy, Carolina

A 2011 series that lasted for one season on Fox. Had a catchy theme song called The Wizard Did It, sung by recurring guest star Bruce Campbell (as the Orc King). Starred Ernie Hudson as the sheriff, Danny Trejo as a father and Animal Control officer, and Molly Ringwald as gang leader turned goblin slayer Sally Slasher. Two-part season finale introduced Nathan Fillion as The Wizard. Currently unavailable for streaming despite a vocal cult following. There was talks about bringing over the series to another network but it fell through. A surprising amount of fanfic online ships Hudson's sheriff with Campbell's orc character.

Full Moon Justice
While searching for a serial killer, Det. Paul Robins hears a scream and goes to save a woman under attack by a large animal. He's wounded but kills the animal. However, when the ME arrives, there's a man's body rather than an animal. Paul soon finds his senses have become enhanced, but he also finds himself feeling an urge to hunt and for raw meat. He realizes he's become a werewolf and tries to keep himself from hurting others. A local priest offers him a crucifix that seems to help.

Then the serial killer kills a friend's wife. Paul removes his cross and uses his werewolf senses and abilities to pursue the killer. However, as he gets closer to his criminal prey, he finds his own animal urges are getting stronger. Paul must keep himself in check to avoid becoming a killer himself. In the end, he lets his beast side prevail in order to kill the serial killer, but the sight of a cross manages to bring him back to himself.

A short film in which $40 is offered to middle schooler Micheal Lavy by his cousin to do just that. During the required day at school, he comes close a number of times to slipping up, but the promise of money holds him back. And in so doing, it looks like Mike might be starting to empathize with his victims. It all culminates in him beating up a rival of his in the form of an objectively worse bully (think Henry Bowers bad), which inadvertently saves one of the kids he had picked on previously. Following that, he gets his $40, and we're left wondering if all this means he'll change or not.

Title: 'No Object'

(Fun Fact: The name I came up with for the bully were the names of two bullies I had to deal with in grade school (one of them) and middle school (both))

The Nintendo Archives is a little known, but well received analog horror featuring the ghost of Akira Terasawa, a Nintendo game developer who was part of a virtual reality experiment featuring a ton of Nintendo franchises. When it went wrong, and his soul was trapped inside the virtual world, Nintendo's higher ups left him for dead.. Until, someone activated it again, releasing Terasawa's spirit, which seems to have somehow merged with the model for Mario himself.

Instead of doing another crossover with Marvel, Capcom jumps ship and crosses over with DC instead.

Capcom X DC: Heroes and Villains

In this RPG, you play either a hero or villain from the Capcom or DC catalogue. Teams of good and evil, or individuals, face off against each other to either save or conquer the world. One of the most popular features of the game are the battle arenas, where players can fight each other for reputation points and upgrades. If you choose adventure mode, the climax has a clever twist where the heroes and villains have to work together when they discover that Darkseid was using the villains to prepare the way for his own invasion. Rumor has it that a sequel is being developed.

" A couple come to a new town, and while the town is nice, they're warned not to go near the hills beyond the town limit. The wife, always curious, goes into the hills to see what's there."
