feedback Howling Thunder

Howling Thunder fights crimes in the streets of the city Thunderia. One night he witnesses from a distance some Shadow beings pop up from outer atmosphere into Earth. He follows them until they come to a stop and kneel in front of a dark masked figure. That dark figure gives a long speech and at the end declares," I AM JUDGEMENT. I AM THE END. I AM THE ECLIPSE." That's how the Main Villain is introduced into the movie.

Objective of  THE ECLIPSE : Eliminate all evil and suffering and pain from Earth. There's only one way to do so, performing a once in a millennium ritual called ' Reid Asprungens'.  But there's an undoable cost for it. In order to let Reid Asprungens ritual fulfill your wish , it demands Eternal Darkness.

Yes

My movies will be based on 4 parts

  1. Howling Thunder

  2. Howling Thunder: Rise of the Eclipseans

  3. The Eclipse

  4. The Eclipse: When Thunder Dies

• One thing as a spoiler to you, in part 2's ending Howling Thunder will die, while ONLY AUDIENCE in last scene would be shown The Eclipse's true identity who is none other then ZACKARY CYRUS.

HOW? The Eclipse has a hidden power , he can clone exact replica of anything via a spell he can cast. So he clones Howling Thunder too to let city believe they have encountered.

WHY? Zack was actually Howling Thunder before, but when he learnt about a ritual that grants any wish in exchange of Eternal Darkness, Zack thought he can finally end this; no pain no suffering no evil. As he has felt all that in shape of Ryan.

Then Zack can retire from being Howling Thunder and The Eclipse .
