I'm happy to see that this one made it. As pitches go it doesn't seem like a good one. The Greeks apparently listed the 27(?) stories that will ever be told. Everything can be broken down to eventually match one of these archetype stories. Knowing that isn't a blessing it leads to a cretin type of cynicism where you can't help but spot where one story mimics another. There's some of that here, but the potential as you say for what this property could become with a few follow up stories is mind boggling. Oh good. I’m happy to see that this one made it.
