What if we tried to create a movie script together!

I fully support this idea and am ready to contribute to creating the script. However, I would like to clarify one detail: will we create a global script, such as: "Once upon a time, there was a majestic race of dwarves..." or "Once upon a time, there was an elf named Winrael..."?
As I see it, everyone can try their hand at the scenario/campaign/mission they personally like. I think that when writing a script, especially for a game like this, it will naturally be impossible to cover everything. But we can later combine the resulting fragments into a whole. So, go ahead, colleagues. If someone wants to write something epic or, on the contrary, something small, why should we prevent it? Among us, there are not only those who want to write something, but there will inevitably be critics as well. Together, by gradually weeding out the unnecessary, we will come to the final result.

Hmm...
There are such unofficial add-ons for the 4th game: Lord of the Rings, about King Arthur, etc.
I haven't played them much, though... because it turned out to be nonsense (especially Lord of the Rings). IMHO.
That's why I'm not suggesting engaging in imitation, but creating something of our own. After all, a film will inevitably differ from a game, if only because "a film with a sense of presence" is not yet possible. We will try to create our own work BASED ON "Heroes...", and not a strictly classified model. I think this is quite exciting. After all, the freedom of action is very broad. We can try to write an epic scenario about the struggle against demons, each race separately, or the Grey Alliance, or about the fate of a particular hero. As an example, Tolkien's "Silmarillion" or Perumov's "Ordered". So the possibilities are almost limitless. I think that if this idea has even a quarter of a chance of being realized, then a more or less intelligent and enterprising director will be able to create SUCH a film that "Lord of the Rings" will hang itself, and "Potter" will have his own broom shoved up his ass.

So, colleagues, I propose something like a memorandum on the idea of creating a film script based on "Heroes...". First, why? Many may ask such a question – after all, there are already scripts for all existing "Heroes...". Just follow them and shoot a film, especially since there are already videos. But I don't like being led like an ox on a rope to an already prepared ending, where the main character, of course, is a "Yusovets" (i.e., an American) heroically saving the world through self-sacrifice (and many heroes have exactly American traits, i.e., how they see themselves). It is not necessary to take the world of Ashan. Let's remember the theory of the multiverse, in which, by the way, the numbering of "Heroes..." exists. Let's call the world something else and, using the themes of "Heroes...", create a new script.
Secondly, the current script for "Heroes 5" suffers from a lack of backstory. It starts with a video of Isabel's wedding, demons attack, and off we go... What does it all begin with? Vague hints about six dragons, an equally vague hint about the Seventh Dragon, the light of Elrath (what is it or who is it, by the way? It only appears once when Freya Laslo is killed, and before that, when the demons were tearing apart the Griffin Empire?), but let's not go into scholasticism. We can, when creating an epic scenario, write both the backstory and the continuation.
And thirdly... Such a script can be continued and continued, just for our own pleasure. Why should we follow the well-trodden path of the "Nivalovians" (i.e., Americans)? Let's take a risk... I don't think it will turn out worse than Rowling's
