Dawn of the Seven

***Dawn of the Seven*** is a superhero action film based on the Seven. Produced by Vought Studios in association with Vought International, it is the seventh installment in the Vought Cinematic Universe.

## History

### Original Cut

Written and directed by Adam Bourke, *Dawn of the Seven* depicts a highly fictionalized account of the Seven's hiring of Stormfront, the firing of A-Train, and Queen Maeve coming out as a lesbian (instead of Homelander outing her, and her real sexuality being bisexual). The film features overt faux feminist pandering to the female demographic with Queen Maeve, Starlight, and Stormfront working together and delivering the tagline "Girls Get It Done".

### Bourke Cut

After concerns from Stormfront over the film's representation of women, the studio had the script rewritten by a writer named Joss.

In the aftermath of the public revelation behind Stormfront's dark history, a new cut was announced called the Bourke Cut, which among other things, featured scenes that recontextualized Stormfront (now played by Charlize Theron) as the film’s villain and a "Nazi Bitch" that the Seven were forced to fight. The scene where Homelander righteously declines to join Stormfront and denounces her seems quite hilarious when considering that the film omits the fact that Homelander was, for the most part, willing to play ball with Stormfront’s white supremacist agenda until she was severely injured by Ryan Butcher and later died by suicide.

Theron’s hammy portrayal of Stormfront as a almost cartoonish blonde Nazi who overuses German words seems also quite at odds with the real Stormfront, who was smart enough to mask her fascist beliefs, as well as being mostly successful in covering up her Nazi past and history of racist murders.

### Fun Cut

On Vought International's social media pages, it was announced that *Dawn of the Seven* would be re-re-released back into theaters. First as a 4:3 black and white version, then an enhanced 3D version, and then finally "The Fun Cut" with 2 hours of additional material along with the addition of the Deep. Vought++ subscribers would also get a free churro with ticket purchase.

## Trivia

* *Dawn of the Seven* is a spoof of real-world superhero team-up movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Expanded Universe. Comparisons can be made to films such as:
	+ *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*: The logo and the title are a reference to the movie. Adam Bourke stated that the movie will be scored by composer Hans Zimmer, well known for scoring superhero movies such as *Man of Steel*, *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, *Wonder Woman 1984*, and Christopher Nolan's *The Dark Knight* trilogy.
	+ *Justice League*: The movie appears to be going through major shifts on the script and filming, which resembles the problematic production of *Justice League*. Homelander says the script was rewritten by someone named Joss, an allusion to writer and director Joss Whedon, who assumed directorial duties after Zack Snyder stepped down mid production. Whedon is also blamed for the movie's failure and its disastrous consequences to the DCEU.
	+ *The Avengers*: Most of the conflict on the movie seems to be shot in New York, a reference to the final act of the film.
	+ *Avengers: Endgame*: The movie is said to be a conclusion to over twelve years of movies of the Vought Cinematic Universe, much like how *Endgame* is a conclusion to the Infinity Saga. The John Alvin-eqsue movie poster for the film is also based on the one for *Endgame.*There's also a scene in the Season 2 finale featuring a team-up of all the show's female heroes fighting Stormfront, a reference to the all-girl fight scene from *Endgame,* which many deemed as unnecessary and forced.
	+ *Zack Snyder's Justice League*: One of the trailers for the film was about a Bourke Cut, calling to mind the calls for the Snyder Cut version of the film to be released. Both films were also seemingly released in the midst of a media scandal that involved claims of racism done by people involved in the creation of the original projects. In one of Adam Bourke's videos, he revealed that he would be screening the film for 'Zacky Cakes', an obvious nickname for Zack Snyder.

* The film can also draw a minor comparison to *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story*. In "Payback", Ashley Barrett tells Bourke about how the film needed to be redone by Tony Gilroy, referencing the troubled production of *Rogue One*.
* Vought International tweeted out that they would be re-releasing *Dawn of the Seven*, even though the movie was still in theaters in *The Boys* universe. This is poking fun at Sony's re-release of *Morbius* after the badly received superhero movie developed a cult following based on the memes that the film unintentionally created. In the tweet, Vought also included that using the code "It's Maevin' Time!" would help fans get a discount on the re-release, mocking the *Morbius* internet meme and fake catchphrase, "It's Morbin' Time!" that fans would satirically say while watching the film.
