Immediately reshoot Season 8 of GOT with what I thought was going to happen.
Completely jettison all of Star Trek Discovery and the Section 31 movie.
HBO can pump out a whole 'nother Game Of Thrones spin off that I couldn't give a fuck about but they can't reshoot the last 2 seasons and maybe add a few more to fix the fucking mess that we ended up with..
Star Wars Episode 1-3 revamped with better actors and writing.
Everything Disney except Rogue One related material gets scrapped and redone.
It needed better writing and directing, but the actors were very qualified for their roles.
you no like jar jar binks? what did general jar jar binks do to you? ๐คช
He took up 17.5% of the screen time in Episode 1, all of it annoying pointless nonsense ... that's what he did.
Can midichlorians be eliminated ?
Give Voyager one final, long episode with a proper sendoff (instead of the half-assed one they did), where we can see how the characters actually ended up in the coming years. With an epic orchestral soundtrack, at least one really good space battle scene and a lot of pathos, it deserves it! ST: Picard is also considered non-canon (the first two seasons have been a shitshow and the third was just nostalgia-bait anyway). So nothing that happened to Seven of Nine in that plotline ever officially happened and the final Voyager episode can utilize some talented writers to make it good.
...and also delete the episode where some crew members become animals and bang each other, because excuse me, what the fuck was that?
World of Warcraft, I'm making the Legion no longer all aliens, they're demons from Hell again. Also the Draenei look exclusively like the Broken, no pretty goats allowed.
Yes I am retconning a retcon, it's been ~20 years and it still bothers me! also ig Shadowlands never happened, just for good measure.
Delete everything that happened in the Battletech lore for where the last civil war book ended. Then keep writing the civil war timeline so it's actually finished instead of where it's been left.
Oh man, I think we could be friends.
I have most of Dark Age on my shelf but I've barely read it.
Lol yeah, I was reading them chronologically...60-ish books in or whatever I'm like wait... You just gonna leave it at Vlad and the Steiner-Davions like that?! I don't get a resolution for Kathryn? I don't get a resolution for my peeps in the Wolves in a Exile?! Just gonna jump decades into the future?
Well I don't like that at all...
The Wheel of Time show.... Change it to be like the books. I felt like the books read well and could have been adapted without changing much. Keep to the source material and embellish areas that weren't as well discussed like east of the waste, the islands to the west, etc.
I'm deleting Homeworld 2 from existence.
Retconning basically every character death retcon they've made in Yakuza over the years, and making Pirates completely non-canon because what the fuck
I'm cutting the original storyline of Five Nights at Freddy's off at the third game and removing Afton's weird implied Pamela-Voorhees-meets-Gendo-Ikari motivation for his murders; he kills for a feeling of power and punishment. As much as I like the sci-fi elements, they utterly ruin his character. I'd also remove 3's cutscene of him coming back: he's dead, and he stays dead.
However, I do believe there would be room for sequels after that. I think it could be neat to have games skipping straight to the Vanny story and making her an actual developed villain as well as a real copycat killer, perhaps even starting a small cult of sorts around the Fazbear brand and Afton's legacy.
That time Janeway and Paris hit Warp 10 in Star Trek.
Such a cool concept ruined by such a stupid episode.
Also Trip doesn't die.
You'd kill their children?! *le gasp* you monster!
Make the latest rick and morty season actually funny and good.
Ironically, that would probably end up with a different season of slop
The writers haven't been subtle, though the episodes they've been directly saying they don't know what people want from them and they keep getting told to be more like season 1
Well, we got something like season 1. The characters undid their character development and the episodes are aimless riffs off of classic sci-fi and cosmic horror
I think I'd just get the writing staff off of social media and pay them to hang out in a comfy room until they have an idea they're excited about again
roiland was sadly a cornerstone of the show.
He really wasn't. He had been out of the writing process for multiple seasons, they had him recording off site
The cracks have been showing for years now, I won't deny he has an energy to his voice acting, but the replacements are fine. The problem is the writing
I'll agree with that.
Star Trek.
Everything after Voyager gets axed completely. 100% retconned. Doesn't exist. You can't even joke about happenings in it in any new works.
Voyager and DS9 themselves get trimmed down. DS9 loses 75% of its episodes, Dominion war erased, mundane space station stuff instead, no religious weirdness validated. Voyager gets better ending but retains most of its episodes.
ToS gets turned into legendary chronicles rather than full canon with the more absurd less science bits cut out or reduced to the fantasies of the chronicler. Main stories and characters retained with >=80% of it surviving. Movies from both ToS and TNG era retain full canon status.
It is established that alternative dimensions are extremely limited in number, you cannot do Marvel universe #69 stuff with it, the main one is the nega-universe with evil everything and a few other isolated pocket universes that are short-lived and unstable (often as a result of warp core implosion weirdness and such).
All existing writers and producers currently associated or associated since the end of the Voyager era are summarily fired with prejudice. New ones are hired and quizzed by me to ensure at least the main producers are communists like Roddenberry and do not want to turn my hopeful FALGSC property into grim-dark in space IP number 3. Prominent transgender characters are MANDATORY in the new series and other steps will be taken to drive every last reactionary out of what's left of the fan-base.
It becomes studio policy to viciously copyright strike anyone uploading video of retconned parts of the IP to any platform as well as to bully journalist insiders with access into adopting the new line by excluding anyone who disagrees with it from access or favor.
On Section 31 and ideology
Section 31 as an organization is rewritten, it exists but is full of the most die-hard communists you'll ever encounter, they use a modified hammer and sickle with a third more spacey symbol as their crest and do NOT dress like Nazis but like communists in dress and battle uniforms inspired by real world communist movements. They are charged with neutralizing dangerous reactionaries within the federation admiralty and power structure as well as being foreign intelligence. Notes are given to the writers that they are shadowy but heroic, decent, and good as well as very dedicated and the organization screens for and staffs itself with selfless individuals. Several new episodes involving their members getting into time travel and holodeck shenanigans in 1930s, 1940s USSR where they are wowed and amazed at the heroes of old around them.
I...BNW? LD?
Jar Jar is the sith lord as intended.
All of the Kelvin-verse Star Trek movies and all Disney-canon Star Wars content.
.......Except for Andor and Rogue One. That shit is tight.
The Legend of Korra spoilers:
spoiler
Korra doesn't stakelessly get her bending back 15 seconds after losing it to Amon. They had the opportunity to give her the self-discovery arc that they tried to shoehorn into the post-Zaheer poison recovery.
The series could've had much better footing, in my opinion, if Korra had wrestle with that just a bit longer. Instead, a bunch of bald people show up and say, "I got you, Holmes," and then she's good as new.
It's been a while, and I've lost some of my steam over this. But yeah, that's the only one I've got the energy to type out right now.
Do I also have unlimited money? What am I saying, the BBC is obviously swimming in money. Undo everything until shortly before the Doctor regenerates into David Tennant again and instead commission Studio Ghibli to do a 26 episodes series based on my Doctor Who comic about 13 and Rose, voiced of course by Jodie Whittaker and Billie Piper.
No, I don't at all hate everything since Jodie left, I just prefer my vision, that's all. :D
Okay, I am a merciful god - if the BBC have to watch their budget this year, we just undo The Power of the Doctor.
The Master's plan is now not simply to swap clothes with the Doctor (????) but to actually swap faces. Jodie gets to be the Master and go bonkers on the universe while the Sacha Dhawan!Doctor has to convince Yaz (cue lesbian confusion) that he really is the Doctor and then go after the Master. At the end of TPotD, the Jodie!Master still regenerates into David Tennant (wearing 13's clothes for fuck's sake) and the 60th Anniversary is about how the Master uses the Doctor's most popular face to absolutely ruin their reputation in all of time and space.
(Donna, after having her memory forcefully restored, instantly clocks that this is not the Doctor she knows but is forced to accompany him because he is threatening her daughter. She complains loudly about everything he does.)
In the end, the Doctor still regenerates into Ncuti and we'll see where to go from there.
... can 13 and Yaz at least have the chastest of kisses on the lips before the end? That'd be fine too...
I came here to do a Doctor Who one too, can I tack it onto yours?
It's also revealed that the Master just hacked the Matrix to mess with the Doctor's head, and the Timeless Child was just some bullshit he made up.
That's going in as well, yes.
We're bringing back Sliders without a reboot.
It was the real Arturo that got left behind in "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome", and Remy ends up finding him again after his cliffhanger solo slide.
Working with Arturo, they manage to get a slidegate up and running to go back for the others. They also find a dying copy of Quinn along the way who has some valuable Kromagg info and end up merging him into Mallory like the accident that melded our Quinn into him, in a last-ditch effort to save him. The presence of this third Quinn, who is almost like the original, outweighs Mallory so we have Jerry O'Connell back in the cast.
The gang all back together, they go to deliver the Kromagg bio-weapon in Remy's blood and succeed. It's now slowly spreading across all worlds. But the Kromagg big bad they're fighting during this process sets off some kind of nuke inside a slide-tunnel, destabilizing the entire thing and basically scrambling sliding across all worlds. Even if you knew how to precisely connect to a world before, it goes somewhere else now.
And now we're back to the classic formula, we can do whatever we want from here.
Also we get Will Sasso to come back as hotelier Gomez Calhoun at least once a season.
