I'd like to write a series that, in an adventurous and fun way, teaches kids a way to discern between good and evil, to establish a foundation on moral absolutes.
Cinema is not Bible writing. It doesn't teach you morals, good values to live. Cinema is not meant for that. If you're looking at cinema that it'll tell you good values then you're mistaken.
One of the first things a family tries to teach its children is the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. One of the first things our schools do is destroy that distinction.
The thing I would most like to see invented is a way of teaching children and grown-ups the difference between right and wrong.
When you are bringing up your kids, you hope you have given them some sense of right and wrong, a sense of good and bad.

Exhorting his students: Be faithful to the moral principles of your religion.

I teach ethics at the FBI academy, which is ironic.
Fine blunderers in ethics we are, so generally conveying to children the basic impression that pleasantness must be wrong, and right doing unpleasant!
Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
