I feel like king's original bit with danny's powers actually being the climax would have made a lot more sense and been a lot more effective than kubrick's "kid with special powers runs good" ending. in the movie, danny is pretty much completely inconsequential. you take out his powers and everything still happens the same way more or less.
the movie was way more about jack, which is completely fine, but if that's the case then explain more about jack instead of this background on his kid's powers that don't matter. idk man. some missteps in the screenplay to me.
