wide panel. Close up on the hand of MALEKITH, his fingernails are long and
brittle. He holds the black knight chess piece between his thumb, index and
middle finger. The knight is being placed onto the chessboard into a checkmate
position against the white king.
MALEKITH:
Check
mate Odinson.
1.2
Cut
to. OLD KING THOR (as seen in the recent Thor God of Thunder series) He sits on
the throne of Asgard. A huge tankard of ale rests on the arm of the throne, and
barrels and caskets of ale are stacked and lie all around the throne area.
THOR:
Not
even all the ale of Asgard can make this damned game enjoyable.
1.3
An
aged and wrinkled Malekith sits in a large carved seat, one leg resting over
the side of the chairs arm. He toys with the white king chess piece in one
hand.
MALEKITH:
Beating
you so easily has even started to lose its charm on me.
1.4
Cut
back to Thor. He stands up from his throne, his tankard spilling to the floor.
MJOLNIR is now gripped tightly in his hands.
THOR:
Let
us relive the good old days then you accused fool.
THOR:
To
your feet coward, battle is upon you.

Cut
to Malekith, a slight grin creeping up the side of his mouth as he pushes
himself up from his seat.
MALEKITH:
We’re
the last of our kind left alive and you still wish to battle.
MALEKITH:
Ha. Good
show old man.
MALEKITH:
Now,
lets see what fight you still have in you god of thunder.
You really captured the voice of Jason Aaron's run here, and I like the intellectual, and then less-than-intellectual, interplay between the two.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I always love the themes of old patterns repeating even into old age, trying to recapture past glories. Well done, Shaun.
