While Calvin and Hobbes romp through the leaves, Andy informs them that there's a sequel to ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' coming out. They're none to happy with this, [[TakeThat seeing how the original was terrible]], and it doesn't look like the new one's gonna be much better. Calvin attempts to write his ''[[StartMyOwn own]]'' movie - ''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Tornado Sharks]]''.

Unfortunately, his attempts to get it actually made are rejected by all the major film companies, so he decides to make his own. Eventually, he just scraps it, and decides to make a Stupendous Man movie instead!

Socrates directs the film, which involves Mom Lady (later "The And-EE" thanks to ExecutiveMeddling) stealing all the water from the world, and Stupendous Man and Tiger Lad stopping her. Unfortunately, an unintentional prank ends up destroying everything, but Calvin pushes onwards.

The film itself isn't all that good, but Calvin goes off to write the sequel nonetheless.

* AuthorTract[=/=]TheRant: A rather impassioned speech about movies from Calvin could count as either:
--> "Who cares? It's disgusting that they'll put out just ''any''thing these days. It used to be a high standard, but now everything is driven by test audiences and marketing. ''CitizenKane'', one of the greatest films of all time, probably couldn't get made today.

* BasedOnADream: InUniverse - "Tornado Sharks" is based off one of Calvin's nightmares.
* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: Parodied InUniverse - "Tornado Sharks" is apparently based on a true story. Hobbes is not amused.
--> "A tornado shark takes out the Eiffel Tower in the first act!"
* CutawayGag: Showing the producers of the second ''Hulk'' movie.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Tornado Sharks".
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "They finally came up with a more graphic Preparation H commercial?"
* GratuitousSpanish and ShoutOut: Hobbes asks "Que pasa, [[TheLionKing Mufasa?]]".

** And then there's "Tornado Sharks 2
* {{Tagline}}: InUniverse with "Tornado Sharks":
--> ''Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of tornados? Sharks. That's what.''
* TakeThat: ''So many...''
