These Profligates Kill Legionnaires
The camera slowly pans out over large city, with tall skyscrapers coming into focus. As the view of the buildings become clearer, the city is revealed to be that of Los Angeles. Various scenes of life are showing; people driving in their cars, people tending to their shops, people waiting in line to eat at restaurants, people walking by, talking laughing. The scene then transitions to a bustling favela in Brazil, then to a crowded Hong Kong market, to a quiet evening in Rome. In all scenes, people are just going about their daily lives. Eating, talking, laughing. It is a scene of society, a scene of culture, a scene of life.
Suddenly, a narrator with a thick, creamy, deep voice begins to speak, while the scenes of the world's society continues.
“Humans. Arguably the world's most fascinating and brilliant species. In a few mere millennium, humankind has evolved from cavemen living huddled together, scared of the outside world, to a bustling, thriving species that has colonized the world. We have created, we have grown, we have flourished; we have proven over and over again that our species is advanced and brilliant. And yet, we have also destroyed. Anger. Greed. Fear. These virtues guide us just as much as the virtues which has allowed us to thrive as a species.”
The scene suddenly transitions to one of a young teenage woman levitating various objects in front of her. A look of sheer shock and disbelief, mixed with joy and fascination is on her face as she holds out her hands, various objects floating right in front of her as if they were suspended in midair. Meanwhile, her parents look on in awe and admiration, looks of pride in their eyes. The scene shifts to one of a playground, in which a young boy with green scales all over himself and a large reptilian tail poking out from his back is playing with two other children. They were laughing gleefully as he crawled around the play set, his tail allowing him to hang from the monkey bars. The final scene shows a young man in his twenties shooting fire from his hands to roast an entire turkey on Thanksgiving night, causing his relatives to laugh and gleefully clap their hands in appreciation, the entire family getting ready for a Thanksgiving feast with their loved ones.
“Mutants. Humans born with extraordinary powers, fascinating gifts that allow them to do incredible things; and yet, they are feared. Hated. Fear has always been a driving factor for humans when it comes to the unknown, and this sentiment is no different. Upon their introduction to the world, mutants have been at the mercy of the humans since the dawn of their existence.”
The scene slowly transitions to that of mutants being attacked by humans. Peaceful mutant rights protests are broken up by rioters. Mutants are assaulted on the streets of their homes. Entire houses burn, desperately built foundations torn asunder with flames unleashed by the hateful rioters. Police officers are shown mercilessly beating mutants in to the ground with their batons. Anti mutant messages are scrawled across nearly all buildings. Messages such as “Peace for HUMANS, death for MUTANTS” and “DIE MUTIES!” are plastered all over. It is a scene of pure chaos and anarchy.
“The divide between the two species is large. Humans have always feared what they did not understand. This sentiment has even led humans to kill their own species out of sheer fear and bigotry. Can mutants and humans ever co exist? Some are peaceful, believing that co existence is possible, while others opt for a more direct approach. Treat a man like a monster his whole life, and he will become sympathetic, understanding fear and wishing to cure it. Treat a different man the same, however, and he may seek vengeance...”
Suddenly, this song begins to play as the intro credits begin to roll...
