I like scifi and horror, and recently I love time travel and ghost stories. I’m annoyed with tropes and overcooked scripts.

Ideas?

I’ve always had an idea of a movie about one of the random citizens that’s always in the background of major superhero fights. He’s a normal everyday guy that keeps finding himself having to duck and cover when some crazy fight happens around him. One time he hides in a nearby food truck while Spider-Man fights the green goblin, another time he just plays dead while some bank robbery goes wrong. We only get glimpses of what/who are fighting, it’s more focused on him just trying to stay inconspicuous. He tries moving to different cities, but it always follows him. It could have a comedic side to it too, where he meets some other people who’ve also been one of the background character running for cover and they bond over sharing the story of how they survived. One dude hid in a bathroom the whole time, another guy coulda been super high just chilling in his room thinking all the chaotic noise was just coming from the action movie he was watching. Always seemed like a pretty unique premise that could be interesting.
