Oh, I had another wanna-see idea while watching Godzilla today: characters displaying good cognitive habits instead of bad ones. The father and son got into an argument over studying the earlier event (obsession) vs. walking away from it (denial). I'd like to see characters dealing with trauma in a healthy way, neither obsessing nor denying. And I'd like people to have the option of walking away from abusive or crackpot relatives rather than getting dragged back into the relationship Because Plot. I'd like to see any character displaying distorted thought patterns be confronted by someone else arguing for healthier thought patterns.

Idea's all yours. I would enjoy reading this.
