"THE ARCHITECTS"
Is Colette's goal to annihilate everyone a cover for mental and/or emotional anguish? My goal with The Architects is to contort the superhero genre and its treatment of meta-humans, explicitly the villains. I believe they’re just as crucial to the story as the protagonists, so why not combine the two? Television shows and films usually create one-dimensional baddies purposefully to alienate the audiences’ sympathies toward them and kill them off when the story ends. The film The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) was a big influence and I consider to be the perfect example. Infinity Wars (2018) is this most recent example of a film where the audience empathizes with an antagonist and his goal. I want to trail-blaze in this direction with this
