Wonder Woman 3 :: Pitches Be Crazy

In this episode of Pitches Be Crazy; I spit ball my idea for  Wonder Woman 3.

The brief:

Diana returns to Paradise Island to return the Arrow of Artemis after the evens of Zack Snyder's Justice League.  

Since she was banished after leaving for mans' world she is arrested and put on trial.  This scene builds to the court/jury sentencing her to imprisonment on the island, however, Diana calls them out saying the Queen needs to approve this sentence.  This causes a stir amongst the Amazons.

Hippolyta is sick.  Diana goes to see her and there it is explained that her days are numbered.  Diana asks how this is.  How does the Queen of Themyscira become sick on Paradise Island?

Turns out that Steppenwolf's invasion caused a gateway to Hades to crack open and all the evil of the dead is seeping into their world.  There is talk of ancient creatures being spotted on the island.  Minotaur, Hydra, a Gorgon and other demons of Hades.

Diana pleads with Queen Hippolyta to allow her to fix this mess and, hopefully, save her mother in the process.  This is agreed to with the understanding that suicide mission replaces part of her sentence.

But she cant do it alone...

Diana recruits a number of Amazons with different skills to join her in her endeavour.  All the tropes are represented, the Wise Elder, the Mercenary/Rogue, Lore Master (smart girl), the Athletic archer, the Barbarian (jock), etc. etc.  Each has their own kick-ass look and weapon/item that with definitely be used later in the movie.  While recruiting the Rogue from the dark dungeons of the Amazon cities they encounter Circe. Circe is an ancient, immortal sorceress of incredible power.  She warns Diana that he quest will only end in sorrow.

This is our group of heroes who go on a Clash of the Titans style quest to save Paradise Island.  

First they come to an inland village in the highlands near a lake where talk of a Hydra has made its home.  The team come together in a style to slay the monster.

Next a dangerous mission to kill the Gorgon (basically Medusa but not blatantly stated).  This causes a number of the party to die.  Turned to stone by the eyes of the Gorgon.  But on this trail Diana discovers the origin of the evil...  Hades.  She bags up the Gorgon's head and leaves.

The remaining adventurers head to that area of the Island with the Lore Master warning of the dangers.  Wonder Woman casts aside the warnings as "All the Old Gods are dead".

They arrive at the Gates of Hell, a mythical place with all the usual glowing green and purple smoke and lights.  It is here they find the cracks with evil dripping through, from the Underworld to Paradise Island.

This is where my idea forks in the road...

Path 1;

Diana uses the Gorgon's blood and seals the cracks.  The Queen recovers and Diana returns to the Capital a hero.  However Circe has gained enough power from the leaking evil to break free from her prison setting up a sequel.

Path 2;

Upon looking at the Gates and their damage Diana touches the break and is pulled into Hades.  Cut to black.

End it there?  Nope! Lets get epic.

POV.

Diana's eyes go in and out of focus.  A dark shade moves close.  We focus again.  "Di-ana...  my beautiful niece."

Cut to Diana picking her self up off the black obsidian floor to see... Hades, the Lord of the Underworld.

Hades is either a scary old man or an innocent looking young boy, I'll decide later.

Diana gets up and sees the dead spirits surrounding her.  The two walk towards Hades' Palace and Diana sees the Old Gods.  The Old Gods maybe dead and Hades still has dominion over the underworld.

When they reach the Throne Room of the underworld hades asks why Diana is here and she explains the story.

She tells him that he needs to keep his kingdom in order otherwise she will put in in order.  She is the God-killer after all.  Hades is all ready dead so he tells her to do her worst as he throws countless dead spirits at her. She fights them and Cerberus arrives to the fight.  

Much like Hercules' Twelfth Labour, Wonder Woman bests the creature and tosses the hound at Hade's feet.

The Lord of the Underworld now steps up and the two have a epic fight.  Fight explodes on the ground when Hade's attacks.  Souls cling onto him like a cloak.   Weapons clash, teeth nash and all hell literally breaks loose.

Diana reaches a new stage in her powers.  She as the Old Gods' power in her and she is the last living one.

She uses her gauntlets to create her shockwave only this time it is filled with lightning and fire.

Hades is spent.  He lies on the ground defeated.  Diana walks over to him and tells him to seal the cracks of hell. He argues back saying it was not his fault, it was the invader (Steppenwolf).  Diana puts it clearly that if he wishes to remain Lord of this place he must use his power to seal the breaks.

He agrees and Wonder Woman leaves the underworld.

She returns to her party, (who barely notice she was gone), and they return to the Capital.

It was too late an Hippolyta has died.  Diana will be the new Queen of the Amazons.

The movie ends with a coronation/funeral.

Mid-credits scene;

Circe's eyes glow with purple power from the underworld and she breaks out of her cell setting up a sequel.

Boom!
