Because I am so sick of the Orphan-White-Boy-Child-With-Special-Powers-And-A-Big-Honkin-Destiny crap
I've got a slightly less Mutant-Creature SciFiSyFy Original in mind:
You can have your OWBCWSPAABHD, alright and everyone in the movie will moon over him, but the real main character who will actually save the day/fulfill the big honkin' destiny (or subvert it somehow because destiny is lame) will be a brown girl (maybe Monica from Heroes?) with no special powers. And she shall have parents, by god, and they shall love her- because if they're not absent, they're usually horrible and mean and abusive, and you know what? You don't need to be Tragedy McTragic Backstory to save the world, dammit.
