Three-Halved Plan

Making a working universe from a lot of popular franchises is not an easy thing to do!

He could argue that it would be a multiverse phenomenon in hundreds of movies but that halfhearted explanation is too far-fetched.

It would force the concept on the moviegoers but it was nothing short of intellectual coercion. A perfect founding of a cinematic universe must be done by the audience itself.

Kevin Feige spearheaded this strategy but he still made use of an important tool to interconnect his films, the clips after end credits and much sought-after... easter eggs.

Fortunately, Alexander was toying with the concept of easter eggs since storyboarding the Kid Psychic movies. Even Mark questioned why such a specific and unfamiliar object or symbol must be present in those shots.

The boy did not answer his father at that time as he was only playing around with those ideas.

At present, those pointless things would finally have a point and it was up to Alexander to find matching films or spin-offs to explore those sparsed-out details.

In the Kid Psychic trilogy, he spread out runic markings and a sort of magic circles. Which means he had to make a magic story involving those elements.

There was also the concept of ghosts, spirits, and a realm of the afterlife. Those had already given the boy some spiritual concepts such as horror movies, spirit dimensional travel, and exorcism epics.

The numerous side characters of the show also have some interesting and possibly compelling side stories but that would be the lowest priority.

As a sort of spoiler, by the end of the third movie, Ben Kingsley's boss villain character would open the rift between the spiritual dimension and the real world. It was meant to serve as an open-ended cliffhanger that opens up possibilities for future sequels but it would also be a perfected opening for a fresher franchise.

Interconnectivity, easter eggs, and opening a franchise from one franchise would be the way that Alexander would go about forming his own cinematic universe.

One single mistake could end such an ambitious project and Alexander's thinking juices were churning out all the ideas he could make.

The greatest advantage he had starting from the mid-70s is that people are still ignorant about story congruencies and film theorists are still far from being the norm.

Through this and by the time movie fanatics, theory enthusiasts, and Youtube speculations become prevalent, it would result in a mindblowing bomb from the fact that Cosmic already started their movie universes from its founding.

Forget about the MCU, the DCEU, the Arrowverse, and the Monsterverse! The Cosmicverse of the Creed family is the true genius innovator and pioneer of the cinematic universe movement.

Alexander's mind was already in the big bucks that he would receive and was making early apologies to the cap-loving Kevin and hero-worshipping Marvel executives.

"I'd better hurry up!" The anxiety from before was already a thing of a few minutes ago. Drafts were forming in his head while he changed his sweat-bathed shirt for a cleaner one.

Then, it was a scurry of hurried steps back to his drawing table and making bullets for possible projects.

He was making this project both perceptively noticeable and not. To be present but not too conceivable.

After all, Hollywood tends to follow winners and when they've studied it enough, they have no qualms or embarrassment about copying it. Only moneymaking businesses can compare to the moneymaking boy in ripping off successful movies without shame.

It is no secret to the industry how the MCU suddenly spurted copycats and Alexander didn't want that to happen to his work... yet!

He would make and break timelines just to throw the Hollywood analysts off and he was excitedly curious as to when they would find out his hidden loops and traps that are meant to confound them.

It was all well and good! Unfortunately, he found that to succeed in his plans is to make a decoy success story for them to follow yet fail to catch.

Alexander didn't know if the correct term was a red herring, simply a distraction, or something else entirely! But one thing is for sure and that is he must do it!

The best option he came up with is the most unfortunate for him as it involves putting himself into the limelight.

It was different from his grandpa's advice to blend in and work behind the scenes. Sadly, he had to make a sacrifice and must not be low-key.

His Zetsu must not be In and everyone else must have Gyo. He must remove his sheepskin and expose himself as a wolf. He must stand out to become the bait that the analytic predator must catch up to.

Another parallel effort to this sacrifice is that he must work hard in the filming processes and the backbreaking work he had done for Kid Psychic might just be the simplest in the industry.

As surmised, the boy's three-halved plan is to hide the multiverse success story under the halo of his father's recently advanced skill, his grandfather's advanced technology, and his very own honed box office appeal.

These three things are something that Hollywood would try their way on yet fail to gain something truly substantial.

As mentioned, Hollywood follows the winners and rejects the flops.

They would try their way at visual effects mastery and compete with his father. They might succeed with the budding directors but it is very unlikely that all six or seven of them would have a Speilberg or Lucas of their own.

They might try to stretch their hands on the technology being used by Cosmic but his grandfather's hiding methods and powerful trump cards would circle them around for a long time.

Hollywood studios would just have to remain content with Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic for a while after its burst into the scene with that popular space opera. Meanwhile, Cosmic's Indian manpower would only continue to advance further.

When thinking about his own box office appeal, Alexander couldn't help but feel the anxiety occasionally surging due to this whole plan depending on Kid Psychic to work as expected.

If the movie earns big, then the sequels would likely follow suit. Even if critical backlash is met, the increasingly exaggerated esper scenes would always attract traffic and hopefully higher box office earnings.

When June of 1975 comes, the movie premiere that would be instrumental to Cosmic's success is the only decisive factor that young Alex is waiting for.
