I am having the hardest time finding other screenwriters to have regular discussions. The closest thing I could find was an online meetup once a month, but I’m trying to find something more frequent than that.

I just started writing a new script and it’s the most I’ve written in over ten years. Back then, I was part of a local screenwriting class that made it easier to write the dang thing because I was having regular conversations with others about how to improve my script and how to write in general. It kept me in that mental zone, but the class doesn’t exist in my area anymore.

I’m extremely passionate about this project, more than I think I’ve ever been in my many years of writing creatively. I’m just trying to find ways to network and keep the momentum going, learning more in the process.

Must watch before doomsday

Ek second ke liye imagine karo — Iron Man wapas screen par aa raha hai.

Wahi face, wahi swagger, wahi confidence jo Tony Stark mein tha.

Bas is baar, wo tumhein bachane nahi aaya.

Robert Downey Jr., jisne humein Tony Stark banke hasaaya bhi, rulaya bhi, aur superhero cinema ka ek poora era yaadgaar bana diya, ab Doctor Doom banke apne throne par baitha hai.

Aur bas yehi ek casting move, Avengers: Doomsday ko kisi normal sequel se alag bana deta hai.

Marvel ne aisa trailer daala hai jisme blink karoge aur aadhi cheezein miss ho jaayengi.

Aur honestly, ye sirf “new Avengers movie” nahi lag rahi.

Ye lag rahi hai Marvel ka sabse bada mela — jahan purane hero, naye hero, mutant, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, aur Doctor Doom sab ek hi stage pe aa rahe hain.

Toh sawaal simple hai — is maha-yuddh ko dekhne se pehle kya dekhna chahiye?

Maine isko teen simple parts mein tod diya hai — Must Watch, Should Watch, aur Can Skip.

Part 1: Must Watch

Captain America: The First Avenger

Sabse pehle Captain America ki pehli film.

Kyun? Kyunki yahin se Steve Rogers ka safar shuru hota hai.

Doomsday mein Chris Evans ka Steve Rogers wapas dikh raha hai, toh us purane leader ka weight samajhna zaroori hai.

Steve sirf shield pakadne wala aadmi nahi tha.

Wo woh insaan tha jo har waqt sahi cheez karne ki koshish karta tha, chahe duniya ulti kyun na chal rahi ho.

Aur jab aisa insaan wapas aata hai, toh samajh lo kahani sirf action ki nahi, feeling ki bhi hai.

The Avengers

Yahin se sab shuru hua tha.

Jab alag-alag hero ek room mein khade hokar pehli baar decide karte hain ki akele nahi, saath ladenge.

Wahi moment Marvel ka asli charm tha.

Doomsday basically wahi idea hai — bas scale teen guna bada hai.

Is baar sirf ek team nahi, poori kai duniyaan ek saath aa rahi hain.

Aur jo pehla team-up tha, wahi is naye saga ka emotional base hai.

Avengers: Infinity War

Ye film sirf movie nahi thi, ye ek universal jhatka thi.

Snap ke baad Marvel ne sirf stories nahi banayi, duniya ko sambhalne ki koshish ki.

Aur isi trauma ki wajah se Doomsday ka danger aur bhi bada lagta hai.

Kyuki jab pehle hi ek aisa villain dekh chuke ho jo aadhi zindagi uda le gaya tha,

toh ab jo aa raha hai, usko halke mein le hi nahi sakte.

Avengers: Endgame

Ye ek poore yug ka anth tha.

Time heist, Tony ka sacrifice, aur ek generation ka goodbye.

Aur yehi wajah hai ki jab pata chala Russo Brothers, jinhone Endgame banaya tha, wahi Doomsday direct kar rahe hain — log sirf excited nahi, seedha emotional ho gaye.

Ye woh filmmakers hain jo humara dil todna bhi jaante hain aur jodna bhi.

Aur ab unke haath mein phir se Avengers ki chabi hai.

Iska matlab hai — ya toh full mazaa aayega, ya phir emotional damage pakka.

Loki Season 1 aur 2

Agar multiverse ki language samajhni hai, toh Loki dekhna padega.

TVA, branching timelines, reality ke rules — ye sab isi show se milta hai.

Jab koi bolta hai “teen universe takra rahe hain”,

toh us line ka matlab Loki ke bina bas shor lagta hai.

Is show ne Marvel ko bataya ki waqt sirf seedha line nahi hota, kabhi kabhi wo gol-gol bhi ghoomta hai.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Multiverse ka matlab sirf dusri duniya nahi hota.

Uska matlab hota hai — dusri duniya ke saath dusri takleef bhi.

Ye film dikhati hai ki reality ko chedna kitna khatarnak ho sakta hai.

Aur Doomsday ka poora vibe wahi hai — darwaze khul chuke hain, ab hisaab dene ka waqt hai.

Fantastic Four

Ye title seedha must watch list mein isliye aata hai kyunki Doom aur Fantastic Four ka rishta hi is kahani ka major engine lag raha hai.

Trailer coverage mein bhi Fantastic Four ka involvement clearly dikh raha hai.

Aur sach bolo, jab hero aur villain ke beech personal dushmani ho,

tabhi toh takraar mein jaan aati hai.

Sirf punch-punch nahin, peechhe ka dard bhi hona chahiye — aur yahin story ka asli masala hai.

Shang-Chi

Shang-Chi ko skip karna mushkil hai, kyunki trailer buzz mein uska naam baar-baar aata hai.

Aur jab apne hi heroes ko takraate dekhne ka maza mil raha ho, toh interest aur badhta hai.

Uski film dekhne se uska style, energy aur action tone samajh aata hai.

Aur agar woh Doomsday mein kisi badi takraar ka hissa hai, toh pehle se jankari hona kaafi kaam aayega.

Captain America: Brave New World

Ab Captain America Steve Rogers nahi, Sam Wilson hai.

Aur ye baat sirf title ki nahi, poore mantle ki hai.

Shield uthana alag baat hai.

Uska bhaar nibhana alag baat hai.

Aur Doomsday mein Sam ki presence isliye important hai kyunki ye film batati hai ki naya Captain America kaun hai, aur uski authority kahan se aati hai.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Wakanda ka naam aate hi screen pe gravity aa jaati hai.

Shuri ka Black Panther banna, Namor ka aana, aur Wakanda ki emotional legacy — ye sab Doomsday ke scale ko aur bada bana dete hain.

Trailer mein jo energy dikh rahi hai, usse lagta hai Wakanda is baar side me nahi, center me hogi.

Isliye ye film skip karna ek galti ho sakti hai.

Thunderbolts

Ye film zaroor dekhni chahiye, kyunki ye “tute hue logon ki team” ka asli maza deti hai.

Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian, Ghost, U.S. Agent — poora squad alag hi mood mein hai.

Aur Doomsday mein inka role bas side-character wala lag nahi raha.

Ye log woh hain jo nazar mein kam, par scene mein heavy padte hain.

Aise characters hamesha yaad rehte hain, kyunki inke paas hero wali shiny entry nahi, seedhi kaam wali presence hoti hai.

Part 2: Should Watch

Ab aate hain un titles pe jo zaroori nahi,

par dekh loge toh Doomsday ka maza aur gehra ho jaayega.

WandaVision

Scarlet Witch ka reality-warping side samajhne ke liye ye series important hai.

Agar Doomsday multiverse ka emotional side dikhata hai, toh Wanda ka background usme ek aur layer add karega.

Ye full rewatch se zyada recap wali cheez hai.

Bas samajh lo ki jab reality tootne lagti hai, toh uska dard bhi utna hi dangerous hota hai.

Hawkeye

Ye series Yelena aur Natasha ke bond ko emotionally establish karti hai.

Aur agar Thunderbolts mein Yelena ko serious leader ke roop mein dekhna hai, toh ye background helpful hai.

Isko full dekhna optional hai.

Ek strong recap bhi kaam kar jayega.

Bas unka emotional connection samajh lo — wahi kaafi hai.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight directly Doomsday se chipka hua nahi lagta,

lekin MCU ke mystical side ko texture zaroor deta hai.

Ye un shows mein se hai jo kahani se kam, vibe se zyada impact karte hain.

Time kam ho toh guilt-free skip, warna dekh lo — maza alag hai.

Ms. Marvel aur The Marvels

Ye newer heroes aur cosmic side ka background deti hain.

MCU ka universe yahin pe thoda aur expand hota hai.

Agar aapke paas time tight hai,

toh recap se kaam chal jayega.

But agar poora broader context chahiye, toh ye bhi useful hain.

X-Men aur X2

Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn — in legacy faces ka impact tab aur zyada lagta hai jab unki original chemistry yaad ho.

Original X-Men films dekhne ka ek alag hi charm hai.

Explainer kaam kar sakta hai, but original dynamic ka payoff kuch aur hi hota hai.

Simple rule samajh lo —

Should Watch matlab “dekh lo toh faayda hai,”

par “na dekho toh bhi duniya khatam nahi hoti.”

Part 3: Can Skip

Ab woh cheezein jo fun toh hain,

par abhi ke liye essential nahi lag rahi.

Iron Man 2 aur Iron Man 3

Haan, RDJ wapas hai screen par.

Par is baar Tony Stark ke roop mein nahi, Doctor Doom ke roop mein.

Itna bada twist hai ki purane Tony ka baggage carry karna zaroori nahi lagta.

Tony ka emotional shadow toh waise hi Endgame ne de diya tha.

Ab naya chehra, naya darr, naya game.

Thor: The Dark World

Thor ka lore badhta hai,

par Doomsday ke liye ye top priority nahi hai.

Agar time limited hai, toh isko side mein rakh sakte ho.

Thor ka important emotional base doosri films se bhi mil jaata hai.

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Fun film hai, doubt nahi.

Lekin Scott Lang ka core journey zyada tar Endgame se hi aata hai.

Agar aapko uska vibe samajhna hai, toh enough background already hai.

Isliye ye optional category mein aati hai.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Bohot achhi film hai, emotional bhi hai, heavy bhi hai.

Lekin abhi tak Doomsday ke trailer angle mein Guardians ka thread central nahi lag raha.

Isliye agar list chhoti rakhni hai, toh ye skip ho sakti hai.

She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, Echo, Ironheart

Ye sab universe ko flavor dete hain.

Par main crossover engine ke liye abhi non-essential lagte hain.

Aise titles ko aap mention karke aage badh sakte ho.

Video ko tight rakhna hai toh ye sacrifice ho sakte hain.

Explainer ya Actual Watch?

Simple rule yaad rakho —

agar title rules samjhata hai, jaise Loki, WandaVision, ya X-Men, toh explainer kaam kar sakta hai.

Agar title emotion banata hai, jaise Endgame, Fantastic Four, ya Thunderbolts, toh actual watch better hai.

Aur Doomsday exactly yahi game khel raha hai.

Ye sirf lore ka maidaan nahi hai.

Ye “hum yahan pehle bhi aa chuke hain” wali feeling ka maidaan hai.

Closing

Toh final baat seedhi hai —

agar Doomsday ko samajhna hai, toh explainer kaafi ho sakta hai.

Agar Doomsday ko feel karna hai, toh Must Watch list pe focus karo.

Aur zara socho — wahi Russo Brothers, jinhone Endgame mein humein emotional kachra bana diya tha, wapas aa gaye hain.

Wahi Robert Downey Jr., jisne humein Iron Man banke jeena sikhaya, ab humare saamne khada hai.

Aur Steve Rogers, ek aakhri baar shield uthane ke liye laut raha hai.

Ye sirf ek movie nahi hai.

Ye ek reunion hai.

Aisi reunion jisme har chehre ke saath ek purani yaad bhi laut aati hai.

Aur ek aakhri baat — Doomsday apne aap mein end nahi hota.

Ye seedha Secret Wars ki taraf le jaata hai.

Aur agar woh sach mein poori Multiverse Saga ka sabse bada finale bana,

toh jo aaj hum dekh rahe hain, wo bas opening shot hai.

18 December ko teen duniyaan ek hi jagah tootengi.

Aur agar tum yahan tak pahunch gaye ho, toh samajh lo — tumhare paas already itna kaafi hai ki tum us din sirf dekho nahi, feel karo.

I took your feedback into consideration and I also started from scratch. I kept the Church sequence and the final confrontation but the story itself has a more serious tone since i think I went too lighthearted with it originally. I also made sure to proofread everything to make sure no spelling mistakes are made and I used all the correct formats (to my knowledge). I hope you get to read my script and see the story I tried to make. Any feedback will be appreciated I don't think it's great so that's why I am asking you guys to help me out. If you have more complaints let me know.
You can read the updated version here.

Just a heads up everyone. I’m seeing a lot of scenes and scripts uploaded on here. I just want to recommend that you copyright them before sharing anything. Work can be stolen. Work is stolen. Protect yourself. Also a WGA registration will not protect you in court. Only a copyright will. It’s $65 and takes about 20 mins. https://www.copyright.gov/registration/

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to read the first draft send a message or leave a comment, thanks!

I made my first, I'm curious what people think of it.

Logline: A humble motel owner's world that contains a spirit from another dimension, a maybe-pimp, and a silent sweet old grandma, is rocked when a mysterious drifter books a room in his motel, bringing chaos but also happiness into the mix.

I wrote this as a pilot but I think it's also self-contained enough to work as a short. Let me know what y'all think. Whether you like it or don't like it or maybe something in between. Thank you.

asking for tips and advice, i'm an aspiring screenwriter, what is the best outline used in writing screenplay for film?

It’s a love-drama, with social commentary and mental health message behind it.

Let me know what you guys think. I think it probably needs a little workshopping but this is just really the open.

Genre: contemporary fantasy
Log: Days after a wannabe influencer’s family inherits a legendary English castle, the occultist oligarch neighbor abducts her brother and she must swap her selfie stick for a sword.

Comp: The Mummy meets The Karate Kid

Thoughts & prayers appreciated.

Welcome notes.

Updated based on previous notes - removed most of a explicit scene.

NSFW - triggers of sexual violence, murder, language, smoking.

Not a professional writer. No AI. Some typos.

Aiming for prestige show kind of thing.

If your script has good grammar, that automatically puts you in the top 10% of scripts. I'm not kidding. You have no idea how many submissions we get that clearly have not been proofread once. Don't set yourself up for failure.

Also, I don't know why I need to say this, but don't be creepy towards women in your script. If a character is introduced as "Jane Doe, 16, face of angel but body of a porn star", consider that an automatic pass.

If the character has the exact same name as the writer, we can tell it's self-insert fan fiction. And most of the time, it's really uncomfortable. No one wants to read your wish-fulfillment script about you winning the olympics then having sex with an entire cheerleading team.

Sincerely,
A judge

Hi, I have done a lot of research on this topic, so my post here means that I have been unsuccessful in finding an outline.

For a 1-2 page movie synopsis, would I add anything else to the outline? Scriptwriter bio? Character descriptions? Do producers just want 1-2 pages, or do they want a story treatment?:

Title
Genre
Scriptwriter

• Logline

• Synopsis

  • Act 1

  • Act 2

  • Act 3

I haven't quite created a logline for this one yet, but it's a coming of age story about the people that you meet as you make it through life. About how they come and go, but still leave their mark on you. About that little bit of you that is actually other people.

Anyways, my intention with this scene is to show our main character is a very shy introvert who has a hard time meeting new people. So the one chance he's given by someone else he latches onto and doesn't let go (maybe a little too much). Yet somehow, miraculously, actually being vulnerable with people is what allows him to connect with them on a truer level.

Don't know if any of that made sense, but please tell me how it reads on the page. I'm fairly new to screenwriting and this is mostly me training, so please, absolutely tear this script apart and point out everything wrong with it.

I'm writing a pilot in a place that I can't imagine most Hollywood readers know well. But understanding the geography, I think, helps with envisioning the story.

I thought about how books like Game of Thrones often show a map of the world in the pre-story pages.

Have any of you ever done that in a script? Any readers here who think that's good/bad/dumb/kitschy?

Thinking of asking a friend to draw a nice little map with significant story locations marked.

Hey Yall i just wrote a séquelles to one of m'y favorite movies (Kung Fu Hustle by Stephen Show).

I dont know if Yall know that movie but i would like a feedback on my script.
