Considering how many posts I've made over the sites history about hypothetical TV and movie projects, I've decided to make a thread dedicated to random Hollywood ideas I've made up.
I'll re-post some of the older ones in here at a later date, but for now here's the West Coast Avengers made into a goofy adventure-comedy that hardcore Avengers fans will hate!
For this film, it will take the title of Force Works. I think it's the best name to use, because as a title it would reflect the tongue-wagging attitude towards the notion that 'might makes right' that this film represents. Might makes right and that's why force works!!!

When smarmy industrialist Anthony Stark (played by Christopher McDonald of Quiz Show and Happy Gilmore) is faced with increasing public criticism of the damage that Stark International has wrought upon developing nations, he decides to assemble a group of publicity-hungry individuals as Earth's Mightiest Humanitarians.
Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye - was an Olympic archer who was banned from the professional archery leagues when it was discovered that he was using performance enhancement drugs. He spent many years in and out of rehab, but subsequently emerged a changed man doing the leadership seminar circuit. There he preaches the notion of 'fair play' and 'maintaining clear sight'. Clint Barton is played by Martin Henderson of Torque and Flyboys.
Hercules Theophilus, aka Hercules - is a former bodybuilder who became a New Age enlightenment guru after entering into a long period of soul-searching induced by a heart attack. Now he uses his great strength to show people how healthy living is possible with sustainable agriculture and an Earth-friendly lifestyle. Hercules is played by Patrick Warburton of TV's The Tick.
Henry Pym, aka Yellowjacket - is a long-haired hippy professor with a Timothy Leary-like view of the world. He advocates the use of psychotropic substances to expand consciousness. He achieved even greater infamy when he developed a special cocktail that allows him to change his size. He perceives this ability as a metaphorical call for humanity to gain 'perspective' on its relationship to the universe. Pym is played by John C. McGinley of TV's Scrubs.
Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man - the self-named 8th Wonder of the World, Simon Williams is the star of over 20 reality programs. He was once a real-life failure, but on TV he has survived deserted islands, has apprenticed to every business mogul and proven that fear is no factor. He now wears numerous preconsumer devices that allow him to fly, shoot laser beams from his eyes and lift great weights. Wonder Man is played by Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame, and TV's The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr..
Sarah Holden, aka Sersi - was an anthropologist with a tough as nails party girl attitude, but a few years ago on an excavation in Mesopotamia, she lost her husband, archaeologist Samuel Holden, to circumstances unknown. She emerged with vaguely psionic abilities and a newfound belief in cultural preservation and the sanctity of all races. Now she uses her powers to stage small battles to preserve fringe civilzations and cultures. Sersi is played by Michelle Forbes of TV's Battlestar Galactica.
Daryl Holiday, aka Rage - was an action superstar with widely documented anger management problems that earned him his nickname. But after being convicted of manslaughter, he spent some time in prison and found enlightenment when a cellmate converted him to Islam. Now he follows the way of pacifism, he sports his moniker with irony and is determined to prove that even the ways of peace can be angry. Rage is played by Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones of TV's Blade.

Each member is eager to rebrand himself as a bleeding heart altruist with extraordinary abilities, determined to right what industrialization has done wrong, and look good for the cameras too! They are FORCE WORKS!. Made up of six individuals who are no stranger to the media spotlight and every bit eager to use it in support of their new enlightenment. Will they let their reacquired fame get to their heads, or will they really become heroes in time to make a difference?
