A fierce weretiger battles an ancient vampire and the ideologies of her elders as she attempts to protect the woman she loves from an evil that threatens to return and destroy the earth.
>>>an evil that threatens to return and destroy the earthThe evil needs to be spelled out because of its magnitude.? We need to know in the logline exactly what it is that threatens to destroy the earth.

See lessWhen the world?s greatest and most hated superhero is forced into retirement after yet another fuck up, he searches for his successor via a reality television show where each week contestants battle against villains and each other to prove they can become the next Universal Hero.
There's a potentially interesting story here, but I suggest the setup needs a do over: if he's being forced by others to retire, wouldn't it be up to them to tap? his replacement?? Hasn't he lost the status, the authority to make that call himself? And since he's the fall guy for the fuck ups, why wRead more
There’s a potentially interesting story here, but I suggest the setup needs a do over:
if he’s being forced by others to retire, wouldn’t it be up to them to tap? his replacement?? Hasn’t he lost the status, the authority to make that call himself? And since he’s the fall guy for the fuck ups, why would the people forcing him out trust him with the task?

Thanks for the clarification of the ideas you’re playing with in the story.? Risk taking is substantively different from trust issues between characters.? Or characters trusting themselves.
>>> with climbing being a metaphor for more mundane risks and the need to trust both yourself and others in life.
Trust is necessary — but, really, is it sufficient?? You can trust yourself fully and fall to your death because your confidence is not backed up with commensurate competence.? Ditto if you place your trust in someone who doesn’t have the competence.
>>> an experienced climber who?s risk aversion
That strikes me as an oxymoron.? Because if he was truly risk aversive (as yours truly is), he wouldn’t be a rock climber.? And if he’s experienced, he would know better than to partner up with someone who lacked the competence and confidence to be a safe climbing companion.? No, not even out of love because that’s the kind of love that could get them both killed.
Risk taking should not be confabulated with recklessness.? The latter necessarily entails the former, but? the logic is not bidirectional: the former does not necessarily entail the latter.
Whatever, you have the issue of risk dissipated among 4 characters instead of concentrated on one.? To be sure, you are thinking along the right line by having every character embody a facet of the theme, positively or negatively.
But it is usually best if one character is the focal point character of the theme, the one who embodies the most important facet of the theme, who is also the natural alpha character of the group . IOW: it is usually best if the logline clearly designates a protagonist.
fwiw
