Group Dynamics,Powers,+Shape-Shifting Shows(+ Wolverine,Woody,+Leather Jackets)
Group of people trying to accomplish something while staying away from the bad guys. Different scenes, here’s what I remember.
The group is talking right before a concert, reviewing videos. One woman unexpectedly berates another woman (who is showing signs of early pregnancy) regarding another dude. The guy has powers reminiscent of Doctor Strange, but not quite the same. After reviewing the video, one of the guys, who seems to be in teaching mode, says, “Now, why did that happen? Why did she take this particular time to lash out?” A couple of people offer different answers, including that maybe they had animosity before, or that everyone has been stressed and tired, culminating in her yelling at her. I half-heartedly say that “maybe the woman liked him before, but as a celebrity-from-afar crush, and it wasn’t until she actually met him that he became “real“ for her because it was an in-person interaction, so then she felt more animosity towards the other woman who I think she called fat or something to insult her.” My groupmates turn and give me a semi-skeptical, semi-tired look, and I note again that this was a stretch, but I wanted to mention it to provide another option.
In the next scene, this guy is about to perform on stage (I can’t remember if it’s the same Doctor Strange-like guy or a different person from our group). His stage manager (who we haven’t interacted with much) goes out first and shape shifts a bunch of times to warm up the crowd, which starts ramping up. Then our guy goes out on the stage, and the crowd gets even wilder. He continues the shape-shifting a couple of times on stage before shifting into the image of Wolverine and jumping off the stage to crowd surf. The scene switches for a few seconds to slow motion, and, at first, I’m not sure if the crowd will catch him—but then they do. Then he shifts into someone else, and the game is to see who he Shifted into. His power now is to make eye contact with someone and shift over into them, transporting himself and temporarily taking over their body. I look around and realize that pretty much everyone at the show is in costume, from the X-Men to a couple of guys dressed as Woody from Toy Story, and a bunch of other characters/costumes. I realize that everyone here must be consenting to this, or how else would he be making eye contact?
We also realize that the bad guys are somewhere here (or maybe we always knew they were here, but now we realize that it’s time to make moves), so it’s important for our guy to keep shape-shifting so they can’t grab him. I think this was part of the plan for the beginning of the concert. He transports into someone over to the stage left amongst a couple of people, then goes rapid-fire around the front of the stage into different people. I also realize that he has started specifically targeting guys wearing black leather jackets. I guess it’s going to be time to get away. He goes into a couple more people, then I out, flags to the left by this tall, beefy-built guy in a black biker jacket. I follow them out—cut scene—
Now we’re in the car discussing the concert show. One woman (who reminds me of the doctor from Daredevil/Luke Cage/Iron Fist) is saying that she definitely doesn’t mind this new look (implying that she thinks she’s handsome), wild play, play elbow, and him in the seat next to her. We’re figuring out what to do next, but I wake up.
Overall mood/context: adventures, group dynamics, working together, collaborative, curious, magic
