THE ADVENTURES OF MYERS DRIBBLE is a very creative and imaginary script. The goal is fairly clear. However, the goal is more about Myers’s emotional goal rather than an actionable goal that he has to achieve. For Myers, the stakes are personal. The script is driven by themes about destiny, tolerance, and acceptance. The script is presented as being a pilot or episode one of a continuing show. The premise of the series feels clear: the series will highlight the zany and madcap adventures of Myers Dribble. One can envision that each week he will come up with some new cure or pill to fix a problem that doesn’t really need to be fixed. While there are certainly features to like about this original script, there are also areas that are worth discussing. First, there’s a clear inciting event with the idea of the pill that cures transgender issues. The catalyst that moves the story forward is when the crowd turns on Myers. His goal seems to be redemption. The script, however, doesn’t always feel goal focused or oriented. It relies more on antics and gags, rather than telling a story about Myers trying to achieve a specific goal. The other concern about the presentation is that the protagonist, Myers Dribble, is presented as being much too cartoonish and child-like. He’s established as being so naïve and clueless about the world, …show more content…

He comes up with a cure for gender identity issues and then his problem seems to be to redeem himself, but the audience isn’t emotionally invested in his problem. Perhaps a stronger plot is needed in which Myers has a more compelling actionable goal to achieve. The idea is to get the audience to root and care about Myers and root for him to accomplish his goal. His goal for the episode is more emotional and character driven vs. an external goal with strong

Likewise, the film shows that transgenders are questioned for their existence. Some parents in the film indicated that they had hoped that “there would be another way” and that they did not understand why and how their children were gender-nonconforming. One of the parents portrayed a transgender life as “eternal death”. The film showed that even the closest people of these children complied to the concept of deviance and solidified the concept through their hostility towards the concept of transgender and their effort to bring their children back to the norm which in this case is gender conformation. It amazed me to see how strongly some parents felt about “preventing” their children from becoming the deviants.

As being hetero is still the norm, the film portrays a heteronormative situation, where the men cannot show that they like the women, as that is not the norm in the society and thus the film lacks a portrayal of homosexual norms, even though the men could have continued flirting with the women, and thus portraying homosexuality.
