Hulk Should Have Been Blue, Not Red!!!

Justice League Cry For Justice:

I would either not have Ollie kill Prometheus, or not have Dinah leave him, and Connor give up on him. And I definitely would have never killed Liam just to have Roy relapse. But most importantly, splitting Ollie and Dinah up...again, is getting old. It would have been more interesting to see them pull through it together. All in all, Ollie's been pretty poorly written for the last 2-3 years imo.

Yeah, they've gone for a sudden shift, I thought for once DC was ahead of Marvel, villainising Ollie in their answer to Marvel's Shadowland. However they kind of chickened out and made it Roy instead.

Even though GA is one of my favourite characters, I still feel if you are going to villainise him, go all the way.....

.....still it was nice to see him brought to the brink and not watch him fall. Part of me is still glad Arsenal is the bad guy now and Ollie is bringing him in.......I just hope we don't have an Kenobi/Vader moment between Ollie and Roy. Ollie's already died twice.

I disagree, I feel as if it's poor story telling. We've seen him take a similar road, in the 80's with the longbow hunters. If anything, Identity Crisis should have been an indicator that Ollie is a moral compass in the DCU, and his actions in Robinson's latest story are simply uncharacteristic. Also, it seems like the "Arrow Family" are a punching bag for the company.

I agree that the Arrow family has become a "punching bag" in recent months.

This thread is based upon the idea that you have no right to criticise a major event or storyline unless you can do better. So this thread is essentially offering you to come up with a better storyline than a big Marvel/DC/Image/etc etc event or major storyline.

The concept shouldn't be radically changed, just major plot points in order to say, for example, "I didn't like Civil War, but I see what they were trying to do. If only they did this, this and this."

However you must bear in mind your alternative approach must be something workable for the companies. You can't say I would have changed Crisis on Infinite Earth's so everything in all multiverses died. Imagine you are working for the comic company. You have to justify plot points like killing major characters and have to consider fan reaction or comic sales, tie ins and other factors.

So what would you have done differently??????

at the moment all i can think of is how anakin becomes vader.

i'd have anakin and obi-wan part ways and after the prequels and before the classic movies, palpotine sends anakin to kill general grievous in the outer rim as his final push to the dark side.

instead of getting killed in the worse starwars 1 on 1 fight ever, obi does some other unimportant shit leaving anakin to kill him. this time though, grievous fights like he did in the cartoon: hella scary and lethal as phuk, only someone like vader could step to him and after a long and bloody fight anakin triumphs with his knowledge of the force, though at the cost of most of his limbs and health.

he get's picked up and repaired just how grievous originally did when he was badly damaged at some point in his life, and voila, vader is born a cyborg like the great warrior he defeated.

imo, that's way more badass then the final showdown between the two "friends".

obi-wan and anakid did not have to have that fight at all, they were supossed to be good friends, only with anakin's slow progression to the darkside affecting their relationship. the final showdown in a new hope had vader say something to the effect of [last time we met i was the student, now i'm the master]. this by no means inflected they fought to the death, could have been skipped completely.

also, the prequels are total shite

Well that... came from nowhere lol.

I'd just change and not give Wan the high ground.

I guess that counts as there are Star Wars comics.......but I've read like two issues of them from years back.......
