The inspiration of The Red Badge of Courage and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Courage is a story project that I’m working on. This working title will be Fortitude. I’ll write a better summary about the project, as well as the emotions and other things associated with courage.
This story will feature as a science fiction genre. The story will set as a main character Alex Bannister from Chicago who will become Courage following the invasion of Los Angeles.
Plot
Courage revolves around a man named Alex Bannister; a student and a former chief petty officer from the U.S. navy who becomes possessed by a lion and calls himself courage, after he was raised by his parents Henry and Mary Bannister who once served in the Army during World War II.
Set in the year 1978 in Los Angeles, Alex fought courage against an alien invasion in California, after a UFO crashed in the Mojave Desert.
Background
The project was started back in 2008 when I got fascinated about the emotion as well the Wikipedia article of it since there is no Encyclopedia Britannica article on Courage exists. Mainly I have been searching for the topic on Courage on Google all the time and now DuckDuck Go. The word courage originates from its emotion as it old word in French as it translates in fortitude.
Originally, this was meant to be a stop motion Lego crime film based on other crime dramas but has been changed into a science fiction story. Courage is the second project after Robot Man. It was originally set to be released in the fall of 2009 to 2010 alongside with The Robot Man but this was passed on at the time.
The idea of the Courage project was based on The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum. There have been attempts to use courage as titles for books and movies with only mediocre reviews. The Red Badge of Courage, a novel by Stephen Crane, was published in 1895 as a popular example.
The story project is not part of Courage the Cowardly Dog, an animated series and a fictional dog created by John R. Dilworth for Cartoon Network. It has nothing to do with animated shows and with other titles that are associated with Courage.
This is what if it would have been possible if there was a Courage movie and a story as a title without associating with the animated television show itself. This was to avoid legal issues from Warner Bros Discovery, a media company which owns Warner Bros. Entertainment (which includes Turner Entertainment), CNN and Cartoon Network.
