Serious question.

[enterthemadness]

If I wrote a Man-Thing 2 script or a script that disowns the first movie, could I legally register it with WGAe or WGAw and/or have it copyrighted by U.S. Copyright Service, since I don't own the character?

I doubt I do this, but I wouldn't mind writing a Man-Thing script in hopes of having it made. It's really Marvel's fault if they didn't like the movie. Pfft, they didn't even oversee the damn production. I like the movie (good b-movie), but I imagine it would have been a lot better...if they were more involved.
