We've seen giant monsters create havoc, in films such as Godzilla and Cloverfield.
We've seen terrorists and riddlers confound urban environments and civilization in films such as Hackers and Se7en.
We've seen tyrants and fascists create ominous dominions in films such as Flash Gordon and The Crow.
However, we haven't seen monsters/villains create worlds where everything is turned upside-down and/or inside-out, simply because they're 'deformers' (not brutes or murderers or deceivers).
So here's a comic book stylized fan-fic about a giant warlock-gargoyle named The Deformer who attacks NYC on September 11, 2010 (on the 9 year-anniversary of 9/11) to challenge America's sense of emotional confidence!
====
Captain America was in pure shock. As he circled above the skyscrapers in NYC on his hang-glider above a giant invading gargoyle (who called himself 'The Deformer') on 9/11/2010, he wondered how he would 'handle' this diabolical alien creature 'visiting' from Neptune. The Deformer seemed to be interested in America's 'commemoration' of 9/11 and in particular, the gargoyle was stomping around the same area where the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11/2001, where an ambitious reconstruction project was underway (planned by Mayor Giuliani).
Captain America pulled out his megaphone to grab the attention of The Deformer.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Why are you visiting from Neptune on 9/11/2010?
DEFORMER: It's 'autumn in NYC,' and I want to see if Americans really care about 9/11.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Well, Americans believe the Taliban was making a pun about the police call code 9-11!
DEFORMER: I believe they were, and I intend not to create havoc but vertigo.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: You wish to deform our sense of urban security?
DEFORMER: Urban intelligence.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: What are your intentions, Deformer?
DEFORMER: I'm a giant! You humans read Gulliver's Travels, but do you interpret a giant as malicious?
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Do you wish to deform our intellectual confidence?
DEFORMER: Yes!
After responding in the affirmative, the giant Deformer grabbed a skyscraper from its base, lifted it up (as if it were a toy) and laid it down in the street (on parked cop cars!). He then gave the proclamation, "Americans do not care about civics! You see a giant, and you correctly assume that it is an omen from your God!" Captain America realized that Deformer simply intended to deliver home the message that 'autumn in New York' was a time of hypocrisy --- an active time for students and stockbrokers and the beginning of the holiday season (and NFL football).
Captain America had a flash of genius. He knew that Deformer was absolutely correct about America's apparent apathetic attitudes towards the political turmoil that led to 9/11, but he now realized that Deformer did not understand one key quality of humanity --- its will to celebrate pedestrian idealism! Captain America raised his megaphone and spoke to Deformer: "I challenge you, gargoyle to answer the following question --- if Americans are hypocrites, why then is America celebrated for its leadership?"
As soon as the words came out, Deformer grimaced in the frustration of intellectual defeat and flew away (and back to Neptune), though Captain America knew the gargoyle triumphed in sending humanity the ominous message that capitalism globalization did not succeed in instilling pedestrian optimism or Israel-PLO idealism. Captain America decided to send a citizen's op-ed to the New York Post titled "Triumph of the Deformer: American Disclosure." Everyone would remember the piece as an artifact of culture-dissection history! Would The Deformer be remembered as Godzilla or Satan?
