### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Supervillain Cosmic Power Shockwave VFX**
#### **Prompt Philosophy & Instructions**
This dynamic prompt is structured as a modular template. The goal is to provide the AI with a rich, multi-layered description that covers not just the visual effect itself, but also its cause, its impact on the environment, and the overall artistic direction. Each section, marked with `[BRACKETS]`, is a variable you can change to customize the final image. This structure allows for infinite variations while maintaining a high-quality, coherent output focused on destructive power.
To use this template, replace the text within the `[BRACKETS]` with your desired descriptors from the provided suggestions or your own ideas. For best results, combine elements descriptively rather than just listing keywords.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
**(Scene Descriptor & Composition)**
A `[SHOT_TYPE]` cinematic masterpiece, `[CAMERA_ANGLE]`, capturing the awe-inspiring and terrifying moment of impact. The composition follows the `[COMPOSITION_RULE]`, focusing the viewer’s eye on the cataclysmic event.
**(Subject & Action – The Catalyst)**
The `[CHARACTER_DESCRIPTION]` supervillain, `[CHARACTER_NAME]`, channels immense cosmic power. In a display of overwhelming force, `[HE/SHE/IT]` performs the `[ACTION_TRIGGER]`, such as “slams their fist into the `[IMPACT_SURFACE]`” or “unleashes a point-blank blast from their palm.” The character’s expression is one of `[CHARACTER_EMOTION]`.
**(Primary VFX – The Shockwave Core)**
An earth-shattering shockwave of pure `[ENERGY_COLOR]` energy erupts from the point of impact. The core of the blast is a blinding flash of `[CORE_LIGHT_COLOR]`. The shockwave itself is a rapidly expanding `[WAVE_SHAPE]`, characterized by `[WAVE_TEXTURE_AND_EFFECT]`. Visible `[ENERGY_PARTICLES]` and `[ENERGY_ARCS/TENDRILS]` crackle and writhe within the wavefront, showcasing the unstable, raw nature of the power. The air itself distorts with a powerful `[SPATIAL_DISTORTION_EFFECT]`.
**(Secondary VFX – Environmental Destruction)**
The shockwave’s destructive force is absolute. The `[IMPACT_SURFACE]` `[SURFACE_REACTION]`, sending a maelstrom of `[DEBRIS_TYPE]` and `[DEBRIS_SIZE]` ejecta flying outwards. The ground cracks into a spiderweb of deep fissures, glowing with residual `[ENERGY_COLOR]` light from within. `[ENVIRONMENTAL_ELEMENTS]` in the path of the wave are `[EFFECT_ON_ELEMENTS]`. Thick plumes of `[SMOKE_AND_DUST_COLOR]` smoke and pulverized dust billow into the atmosphere, choking the air.
**(Environment & Setting)**
This cataclysm is taking place on/in a `[LOCATION_DESCRIPTION]`, under a `[SKY_DESCRIPTION]`. The surrounding `[LANDSCAPE_FEATURES]` provide scale and context for the destruction.
**(Lighting & Color Palette)**
The scene is lit with `[LIGHTING_STYLE]`. The primary light source is the violent, pulsating glow of the shockwave itself, casting long, dynamic shadows and bathing everything in a `[PRIMARY_COLOR_CAST]`. Secondary light comes from the `[AMBIENT_LIGHT_SOURCE]`. The overall color palette is dominated by `[DOMINANT_COLORS]` with sharp, contrasting highlights of `[ACCENT_COLORS]`.
**(Artistic Style & Quality)**
Rendered in a `[PRIMARY_ART_STYLE]` style. The image should have the quality of a `[QUALITY_BENCHMARK]`. Emphasize `[KEY_ARTISTIC_FOCUS]`. The textures are `[TEXTURE_DETAIL_LEVEL]`, and the overall image has a `[RESOLUTION_QUALITY]` feel.
**Negative Prompt Guidance:** Avoid `[ELEMENTS_TO_AVOID]`.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above, specifically for the Thanos Power Stone shockwave.
**(Scene Descriptor & Composition)**
An ultra-wide shot cinematic masterpiece, from a dynamic low-angle perspective looking up, capturing the awe-inspiring and terrifying moment of impact. The composition follows the rule of thirds, focusing the viewer’s eye on the cataclysmic event originating from the subject.
**(Subject & Action – The Catalyst)**
The massive, armored cosmic tyrant, Thanos, channels immense cosmic power through his Infinity Gauntlet. In a display of overwhelming force, he slams his gauntlet-clad fist into the cracked, crimson bedrock of an alien planet. His expression is one of cold, focused fury.
**(Primary VFX – The Shockwave Core)**
An earth-shattering shockwave of pure, violent purple and incandescent magenta energy erupts from the point of impact. The core of the blast is a blinding, reality-breaking violet flash. The shockwave itself is a rapidly expanding, ground-hugging ring of force, characterized by crackling, crystalline energy that seems to fracture light itself. Visible shimmering geometric shards and jagged arcs of purple lightning writhe within the wavefront, showcasing the unstable, raw nature of the Power Stone. The air itself distorts with a powerful gravitational lensing effect, bending the background scenery.
**(Secondary VFX – Environmental Destruction)**
The shockwave’s destructive force is absolute. The crimson bedrock violently shatters and explodes upwards, sending a maelstrom of pulverized rock and massive, car-sized chunks of terrain flying outwards. The ground cracks into a spiderweb of deep fissures, glowing with residual purple light from within. Ancient, crumbling alien monoliths in the path of the wave are torn from their foundations and disintegrate into dust. Thick plumes of dark crimson and black smoke and pulverized dust billow into the atmosphere, choking the air.
**(Environment & Setting)**
This cataclysm is taking place on a desolate, volcanic planet under a stormy, alien sky with two pale moons visible through the haze. Jagged mountain ranges in the distant background provide a sense of epic scale.
**(Lighting & Color Palette)**
The scene is lit with dramatic, high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting. The primary light source is the violent, pulsating glow of the shockwave, casting long, dynamic shadows and bathing Thanos and the immediate destruction in a haunting purple glow. Secondary light comes from the faint, cold light of the two moons. The overall color palette is dominated by deep purples, blacks, and the dark crimson of the planet, with sharp, contrasting highlights of gold from the gauntlet and incandescent magenta from the energy core.
**(Artistic Style & Quality)**
Rendered in a hyperrealistic, cinematic photorealism style. The image should have the quality of a VFX still from a major blockbuster film by Weta Digital or ILM. Emphasize extreme particle effects, motion blur on the flying debris, and intricate detail on the fracturing ground. The textures are hyper-detailed, 8K, and intricate, and the overall image has a crystal-clear, high-resolution feel.
**Negative Prompt Guidance:** Avoid blurriness, cartoonish effects, soft lighting, calm atmosphere, static composition, low detail.
