I know this is such a regurgitated take, but MCD had so much wasted potential.

The idea that one group of friends will die, meet each other in a different life time, die again, and they cycle repeats is such a beautiful trope.

I love reincarnation tropes, I think they can be beautiful and a can symbolize loyalty and closeness to one another, while also simultaneously having angst and one sided love tropes.

I believe Jess and others could have made it a beautiful piece of media, but they squandered it because of poor writing. The amount of plot holes, storylines, and characters arcs she was trying to write, that a lot of it just fell flat.

They did try fixing it with my street and whatnot, but without MCD being complete, it feels like something is lacking within the characters. The fact that MCD never finished means we didn’t get to see the full storyline and how these characters developed around each other that could have possibly shown itself into the future.

Though, tbf she also messed up the future by making them so wildly out of character. I understand you have to update their way of speaking because they are in modern times and not medieval, but some of them were completely changed.

Anyways rant over IG. I was just thinking about what MCD and future could have been if it had been properly planned and written out and actually finished. Toodles

the greatest tragedy of the 2000s-era Batfam is the lost story potential that happened because Jason's villain era and the Evil Cass arc happened at the same time instead of when Cass was Batgirl

we really could have gotten Jason and Cass being narrative foils, ripping each other to shreds over their different morals and perceptions of Bruce, and stories exploring how they're basically each other's walking nightmare scenario and instead we just got Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain!Jason and Cass being character assassinated and then shipped off to Hong Kong

#cassandra cain #jason todd #dc comics #the successor and the outcast #Cass becoming Batgirl to save every life she could vs. Jason becoming Red Hood to force Bruce to say that taking lives was more effective #Cass worshipping the ground Bruce walks on vs. Jason loudly proclaiming how much of a failure he is #Cass's core motivation being redemption vs. Jason's core motivation being revenge #Cass generally refusing to use any weapons other than her own body vs. Jason having Weapons of Choice deliberately chosen to spite Bruce #Cass dying in defense of a murderer but still saving his life vs. Jason dying in defense of a murderer but they both died anyway #(also: Jason's mom being the reason he died vs. Cass's mom being the reason she lived...*chef's kiss*) #it could have been SO GOOD

Sometimes I just think about Soi Fon. Like that shit was so insane. Easily one of The characters of all time. You’re going to give me a woman who hates the physical manifestation of her soul because it’s loud and explosive and she doesn’t think it’s “proper” that it suits her, but it’s so obvious it does because she’s angry and stubborn and loud and explosive!!! And then the fact that she never ever calls upon that physical manifestation of her soul until things are so dire it’s practically that or death? The fact that in so many ways she lets her emotions build and build and build until they quite literally explode???? And then!!! AND THEN!!!! Add in that she hates her bankai because it’s “inappropriate” for an assassin… for her role as captain of the Stealth Force… the position she inherited from Yoruichi after she abandoned Soul Society for Urahara… She despises the physical manifestation of her explosive nature, the nature she hides until she can’t, just like she shoved down her feelings for Yoruichi, the betrayal, the hurt, the love, until she quite literally couldn’t anymore and it all came back up in a BANG!!! Like god… oh my god, no one will ever do it again and kubo did not deserve such a cool fucking character in the least

#bleach #soi fon #yorusoi #<— because like this definitely feeds into it #like I refuse to believe soi fon didn’t have some form of romantic feelings for yoruichi like it’s so OBVIOUS #also like add in the lesbian angle to this??? #oh… MY GOD it just makes it so much more intense #hiding from your feelings and swearing up and down they shouldn’t suit you that they’re not right for you #even though they obviously are #I can’t fuckin do it man #it’s been YEARS but the soi fon brain rot is still just SO strong #I really did fuckin imprint on her #but tbh in general I hate to give him any credit but kubo did kinda go off with characters who hated/hid their bankai #like the whole thing of hating your soul hating your very being #unparalleled. wish he actually did anything cool with those particular character arcs #like the soi fon ikkaku and yumichika character arcs could have been PEAK #(also don’t even get me started on the three of them being some of the uh… um… well ya know a teeny bit queer) #it could have been so good #but again kubo can’t write and hates gay ppl so lmao #wild that he genuinely created some of the coolest queer characters ever kinda on accident #like whoopsie #anyways I’ll shut up now #kaz rambles

Yall ever think about how we almost had Cody in the kenobi show? How we almost had Obi Wan and Cody on Tatoonie working together and learning to heal? How we almost had live action cody again? Which was literally everything I ever fucking wanted from that show.

#it could have been so good bro #obi wan off saving leia and Cody staying back to protect Luke #both starting their paths to healing #them working together like old times #we could of had it all #it could have been so good #kenobi series #kenobi show #obi wan kenobi #commander Cody

i have a horrible horrible idea that i am so ashamed to have but like what if i rewrote supernatural starting at like season 4 so it didn't suck

#supernatural #spn #embarrassing to be spn posting in 2024 ik #it just cant get it out of my head #it could have been SO GOOD #i just like i'm obsessed with the earlier seasons and certain vibes from later seasons #like when they're in the abondoned church where sam kills lilith? #vibes r unmatchable #and they live in a huge bunker together but its so cold and empty and hostile #the halls echo with hollow emptiness #insane vibes #the first ep with Gordon? insane vibes #and time dean holds sam by his face? insane vibes #the tombstone episode? INSANE #LIKE WHO SAYS THAT CAS LIKE??????

An idea that's been floating around in my head, but I don't think I've got the gumption to see it through:

Eddie wakes up on the morning of his high school graduation, '86. But the last thing he remembers is being eaten by demobats.

And then, it's not.

As the day goes on, two sets of memories war inside his head; one, where the Upside Down happens, and another, where it doesn't. And there are two things he can't shake: the feeling that something's wrong, and the girl with the buzzcut that apparently only he can see.

It's an "it was all a dream (or was it?)" scenario

Many things that happened in canon still happen in the Upside-Down-less world, with some twists: Barb never died, but moved away; Steve and Nancy still broke up; Dustin and Steve still became friends; Steve and Robin still worked together at Scoops Ahoy and became friends; Billy still died in a freak fire that destroyed Starcourt

The Byers never moved to California. Eddie has passed DMing for Hellfire on to Will

Steve moved to Indianapolis to work at his dad's company, but managed to get time off to see Robin graduate

The strange girl with the buzzcut explains to Eddie that they have a deadline: El can only be there when the "dreams align"; i.e. when everyone's dream puts them in Hawkins. But Steve has to leave to go back to Indianapolis in a few "days", and if they're unable to break out of the dream by then, El won't be able to get them all out. In fact, each one who "leaves" Hawkins will be forever lost.

Staring up at the stars wondering what could have been, what has been and most of all whats next for me. I want to tell you it smells like orange blossoms here again. Or that I at least had someone out here with me, someone to talk to. Fill the silence with laughter and conversation. But right now its just me, the cool night air, the orange blossoms and learning to be okay with being alone.

#saph speaks #saph writes #sapphic ache #not sexy fun times #it could have been so good #it could have been so much more #it could have been you... #i love you #i hope youre doing well #and i hope you continue to grow #strangers to lovers to strangers

as an indigenous person who owns Bone Tomahawk on DVD and likes to watch it when I'm in a western horror mood, I will say they could have done this movie without the cowboys and Indians trope. like its so easy to tweak some things. and maybe I have issues with it not only because of my race but also because i have done papers and classes on Indigenous rep in media (primarily film/tv) and we've come so far and yet still fall flat with movies like this.

#it was almost there #god it just needed to swap out sone characters and change a couple details #it could have been so good #but western horror is my favorite and i will take what i can get for now #horror #horror hype #bone tomahawk
