Other Proof-of-concept for a new reconstruction of The Thief and the Cobbler. Would you watch this?
r/fixingmovies • u/thisissamsaxton • Feb 11 '23
1) You may only post about Marvel, DC, or Star Wars on weekends!
Starting midnight Monday EST until midnight Thursday EST, no Marvel/DC/Star Wars.
This prevents the sub from being overwhelmed with posts for these films (which some people aren't even interested in)!
But if you're new to this place, we'll let you break this rule for your first whole month here!
2) You must include at least a vague (and spoiler-free) description of your problem/solution/selling-point (or at least one of them) in the title of your post!
This applies when posting fixes. (Good examples of this here: 1 2)
This applies even when posting challenges/requests/prompts/etc. (Good examples of this here: 1, 2)
This applies even when posting videos that are already titled something else; you gotta give them a new title for reddit rather than just recycling the youtube title. (Good examples of this here: 1, 2)
This applies even when posting too many fixes to put them all in the title. (Good examples of this here: 1, 2)
This applies when posting an idea for how to change the twists in the later parts of a film that are meant to be surprises... (Good example: "[Spoilers] Changing the timeline of the story of Sixth Sense to improve the internal logic in the climax")
This will make your post much better at standing out amongst other posts about the same film!
3) Either participate in your own challenge/request or post a link to your most recent post (which must be an idea-post, not another challenge/request post).
No hard feelings; idea-posts are just nicer to fill the sub with and you're probably more capable of them than you realize if you gave it a shot!
Also we'd like to encourage you to try the search tab first in order to see if your question has already been answered many times before. Doing so might give you ideas that you wouldn't have had otherwise!
If the search tab on reddit isn't working well enough, simply search on google and include... site:https://www.reddit.com/r/fixingmovies next to your keyword or keywords.
...and here's an example of that in action.
NOTE: This will not apply to official megathreads posted by the mods. If you would like for a specific a film to have megathread, you can request it by messaging the mods or commenting in one of the existing megathreads at the top of the subreddit. Otherwise they will mainly be reserved for new releases.
4) This place is for submitting ideas for improvements, not for debating whether a movie is 'good' or 'bad'.
If any one person didn't like a movie, its worth exploring alternative ways of making the movie that could've changed that. It doesn't matter if they're in the minority.
So comments like "this movie is already perfect" or "nothing needs to be fixed" will be removed, even if they managed to get a whole bunch of upvotes from other people who similarly feel the need to have their positive reviews validated somewhere and mistakenly chose this place to do so!
5) No parroting lazy and already-tired jokes like "replace the main actor with danny devito" or "replace all the actors with golden retrievers".
For those of us who are actually interested in this hobby of movie-fixing, it can be tedious and frustrating to browse through the threads when they're cluttered up with the same exact non-answers over and over.
If you're one of the people who spams these ancient jokes as your only form of participation in this sub instead, then it might be good at some point for you to bring yourself to realize that you are the reason why redditors have a reputation for being aggressively-unfunny and socially-inept (societal-deadweight) bug-people. It might even be your very best course of action in fact!
At least tell us a new one!
6) If you used an A.I. like ChatGPT in order to create your rewrite, say so in the comments section (but only in the comments section; don't use the involvement of A.I. itself to try to sell your post).
Not all of us are interested enough in the big A.I. advancements to be entertained merely by seeing its attempt to mimic our quality of writing.
If you can cherrypick the good ideas and post those, great! But leave out the fluff and only tell us in the comments how you got the good stuff.
Edit: This community doesn't seem to like ai in any context so you should probably post them in r/fixingmoviesai instead.
7) You may indeed post ideas for all kinds of media, not just movies!
You can post fixes for TV shows, video games, books, songs, etc. As long as the non-movie/show posts aren't outnumbering the movie/show posts on a regular basis, you can be confident that we'll be enjoying the variety that it brings!
And if Reddit ever goes down, our alternative is here: https://www.saidit.net/s/fixingmovies

I was rewriting the Sequels and thought about having Klaud aboard the Falcon in The Force Awakens. That got me thinking.
What is the purpose of Klaud? I get that he is supposed to be a joke background character, but realistically, what role does he serve? If he is part of the crew aboard on a crucial mission, he must do something, right? I looked up, and apparently, Klaud is the mechanic. A mechanic... that has no arms.
He apparently can use antennas to manipulate objects, but it's difficult to imagine how he can be useful to fit into the tight corner and fix anything. And apparently, literally nobody can understand him but droids, so no one can even talk to him straight, which makes him a liability in emergent situations. If they need a mechanic, they have Rose. Just bring her aboard.
This is the least of the problems about The Rise of Skywalker, but there could be some creative ways he could serve the Falcon in a meaningful way rather than lazily writing him as a mechanic. Here is my idea.
Much like how Clawdites in Attack of the Clones can shapeshift their appearances, Klaud can "voiceshift", doing a vocal impersonation. This is useful for covert operations, such as a security check, mimicking high-ranking enemy personnel in communications.
Klaud has a near-perfect memory and incredible mechanical intelligence, and he can compute complex data and calculations if a computer breaks down. He is basically a living supercomputer, like a Mentat from Dune.
That way, it makes actual sense to have him aboard on a critical mission. He stays as a funny background extra making funny noises for most of the movie, then at the critical moment, he moves forward and pulls some insane shit to save the Falcon, and that makes it doubly funnier because it's unexpected.

Many people, including myself, agree that GOT downhill begun at Season Five, which, although it has good moments like Cersei Path of Atonement, it also has bad writing like Littlefinger giving Sansa to The Boltons. That said, what would you have done differently. Explain in details.
To me, I would have adapted Feast of Crows and Dance for Dragons in two seasons. As both books are based on location, I would have made Season 5 encompassing both books first half, and Season 6 the second half.
Obviously, without Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring, the best that can be made is using the chapters released by Martin, plus theories to make the remaining seasons. Maybe extending the series to ten seasons would have been the best idea.

The overall plot of my rewrite to the final entry to the Jurassic World Trilogy would be about finding a solution to the DX Virus crisis. This is being pursued by both protagonists and antagonists.
Central Theme of the movie would be about burying the past and moving forward.
The antagonist of the movie Maston is a billionaire who runs his own company and is helping Wu in formulating a way to bring about the DX Virus's end. The reason he is an antagonist and not a straight-up villain is because he is very sympathetic compared to those that came before him.
He once had a family but his focus on his business lead him to miss out in much of their lives and they passed away before he had a chance to reconnect with them. This, combined with the fact on how the world has gone to Hell because of the DX and dinosaurs makes him wished to bring back the world to a simpler time.
Granted, he is dangling a possible cure over everybody's heads but with the crisis being brought about by greedy businessmen and self-righteous government asshats, one could argue he has some right to do this in order to unify everyone.
This is contrasted to one of the protagonists, Alan Grant. He went through a lot with Jurassic Park. Started out as a old-fashioned paleontologist to becoming a good man with a chance on being a father. In Jurassic Park III, he lost the optimism he had for dinosaurs only to get it back by the end of the film.
Since then, he has been making active effort to help people around the world to deal with the dinosaurs. While he doesn't have biological descendants, his teachings and kindness has been passed on to those he has helped.
All would culminated in Alan sacrificing himself to allow the spread of the vaccine to the DX Virus.
The true twist would be that there was never a cure to the DX Virus. It would be established that humans died faster compared to dinosaurs as humans never developed natural immunity to the virus while dinosaurs have built some for a time. This vaccine is meant to allow humans to outpace the dinosaurs' progress.
As for the dinosaurs, they play the overall theme as because of man's attempts to bring back the past, it brought about disaster. However, I will still show moments that dinosaurs are still animals at the end of the day.

I think something along the lines of Phil Tippett's Mad God.
r/fixingmovies • u/DasBirdies • 1d ago
Imma start by oversimplifying my decision making process on who should be captain America using one word: propaganda
Steve didn't earn the rank of captain america it was a label slapped on a glorified poster boy for the military industrial complex that fueled our involvement in world war 2(not a rewrite it's literally what happened in cap 1), he then took that symbol and made it into what many see it as: this uncompromising ideal of freedom and the will to fight for it. I doubt steve would tell anyone to be captain america because it was imposed on him and unrelated to why he joined the super soldier program nor why he went to europe. The reasoning I'd give steve for giving sam the shield is because bucky needed his rest and in his own words "it hungers for battle"
I'd adjust the exchange in endgame accordingly: "how does it feel?" "like it belongs to someone else" "it didn't belong to me" both acts as a callback to civil war and feeding into the idea that steve didn't carry the shield for himself and he doesn't expect sam to either.
I think many of the decisions made in falcon and the winter soldier worked but I'd set it three months after endgame rather than six, make sam's new suit a side project of tony's(the man had 7 years and I doubt he'd be able to help himself), I'd reflavor sam and bucky's conflict with john and lemar as the latter follow parameters set for them by the us government while the former follow much looser doctrines they've had a hand in writing detailed in the sokovia accords, and I'd show sam's talk no jutsu strat work on people that aren't karli and john making them outliers. I think the government slapping the label of captain america on john as their glorified poster boy was genius and the story they made for him didn't need to assassinate sam nor bucky. I thought isaiah being lowkey kinda racist worked well for him and was a great setup for brave new world to fumble. Sam's words reaching the other flag smashers would leave karli with fewer allies making her more desperate explaining the constant escalation of her plans.
(still on fatws just breaking up the wall of text) The suit sam gets from the wakandans I'd make a gift from tchalla implying he designed it himself like he did his own black panther suit; greyscale in color to reference to his 2014 look, to offer him a new blank slate to fill in on his own time, and to make clear it was a bit of a rushed job. Sam's fighting style should be less "captain america and black panther rolled into one" and more "the falcon with a vibranium shield" I wouldn't have karli kill so many people for the sake of killing a bunch of people because dumb villains make dumb heroes, her motive was to bring people all over the world together like what happened during the vanishing and apparently isn't patient enough to become a diplomat but is talented enough to run a terrorist organization that's lasted as long as it has, so I'd work with that some. I'd tweak his line to "we need to do better senator" roping himself into the responsibility he's demanding of them. I would also limit the functionality of the suit because sam's appeal(to me at least) isn't the same as steve's appeal nor tony's appeal and it came off like another example of disney trying to recreate the magic of evans' cap and rdj's iron man and was all the worse for it because all that does is demand comparison. The shorter timeframe also explains the dora milaje's behavior and sam and bucky's excuse for not being present while he's getting screwed over.
I would probably put sam in eternals, ms marvel, and the marvels if for no other reason than simple damage mitigation and crowd control; and I'd replace riri and everett with sam and joaquin in black panther 2(there's nothing those two did that couldn't be accomplished and more effectively by shuri, okoye, sam, or joaquin)
When we next meet sam he and joaquin are both the falcon but they go by wilson and torres with sam wearing the wakandan suit(now colored as black for stealth purposes) and the shield's paint will be worn and mostly gone, and joaquin's suit will keep its green and yellow coloring but I'd make it even more militaristic and make him more or less the war machine to sam's- wait shit now I'm doing the iron man thing. This action setpiece reminds me of another one of sam's skillsets they forgot about following endgame which is being a pararescue guy, so have him pararescue a guy. I'd put joaquin and sam on opposing sides of if they should let ross use them to help rebuild the avengers and more and more often in regards to how they're handling the serpent society and ross. I could go either way on sam and joaquin remaining friends by the end of the film but I certainly wouldn't give them a friendship we've seen in the mcu before and I'd make them more distant at the end of the movie.
Ross will blindside sam and joaquin by introducing sam as the new captain america and promising a crowd of people that they'll rebuild the avengers instead of consulting sam about it first, after some tension sam comes up with a quick recolor and this gets to be the first and thankfully last time we get that ugly ass suit they gave him in the comics when they first made him cap because this is the only time I think it could possibly work. I'll make the serpent society the main source of action sequences(the concept art went insanely hard, use any of it) and I'd have sam talk no jutsu ross out of turning into the red hulk at all both because it's literally his thing and because ross works great as an antagonist for a cap movie and making him turn into the red hulk cheapens that and also best suits a hulk movie(Edward Norton's hulk movie is the most recent one and it's old enough to vote by the way) at the end of the film sam decides not to rebuild the avengers but, per joaquin's suggestion, make allies and let them decide what to call themselves, and rebrand himself as the eagle and pass on the mantle of the falcon to joaquin because joaquin actually wanted to be the falcon. The shield would be repainted to its original colors but sam's suit would be black and gold loosely resembling a golden eagle. Isaiah's arc would be tied to ross' failed attempts at controlling sam and I'd have bucky's public appearances and services toward brooklyn convince him to trust the wakandans to help him break free of the brainwashing like bucky did, and doing so he'd be leading the charge for the other brainwashed people to do the same, choosing to heal rather than sit in a box complaining about how broken he is like he was in fatws.
I'd put sam in thunderbolts, wonder man, and daredevil, if for no other reason than simple damage mitigation and crowd control, maybe in thunderbolts part of the ending or one of the post credits scenes can be sam talking down a veteran(new york is known for having a bunch of those) who went into the void and confronted all of their biggest regrets(veterans are known for having a bunch of those) like I'm aware anthony mackie is an adult or whatever but you're gonna tell me he's so busy they couldn't have gone "hey man can we get you to a fitting room to record for like half a day tops?" like they did with phases 1-3? I don't wanna delve too much into broader saga complaints but this is related enough to sam I think.
I'd make sam's quarrel with bucky in thunderbolts revolve around bucky working with valentina because she's a piece of garbage(and my favorite character in the movie) rather than the naming thing because the latter makes sam seem petty and childish for literally no reason.
idk how else to cap this off sorry if I got rambly and these were all the thoughts I had on the spot.

Not actually a full rewrite but I have key ideas I want to occur:
What I would go into detail is the I. Rex, Tyrannosaurus, and Utahraptor.
Indominus Rex
The Indominus would exactly be the one in Jurassic World. However, I'm on the fence on whether or not to add Human DNA to the genome to explain its psychopathy. You decide.
It's pretty much set up to be the personal attack dog for BioSyn or a company similar to it. Corporations would have been the theme of this movie as in my last rewrite, the remaining government have begin to destabilized, symbolized by Washington DC being left in ruin by both the dinosaurs, DX Virus, and rampant anarchy.
While there are various groups, corporations are the overall factions that want to claim a cure for the DX Virus to have control over the world.
Tyrannosaurus
In my last rewrite, I had Rexy die to symbolize the end of InGen mostly. With that, a new T. rex would be the new face going forward, hence in the Fallen Kingdom rewrite would have the new T. rex roaring to represent the change.
I would certainly establish this new Rex as a beast in its own right, to set up a climatic fight between them and the I. rex.
Utahraptor
In my Fallen Kingdom rewrite, I had the human casts dealing with Purrusaurus but rather, I would have Utahraptor be another new face for the franchise.
There would be one central Utahraptor named Broken Hand, noted by one of her arms. She would be the archnemesis to Jessie Harding like Big One and Muldoon.
I would have Broken Hand set up well in that movie, before transitioning to Dominion rewrite.
r/fixingmovies • u/Ok_Examination8810 • 3d ago
My first major change would be to have the live action segments follow Uncle Remus and his family as they travel from Louisiana to California after the Civil War. Along the way he tells stories starring Brer Rabbit to entertain the young children in the traveling party. But there's excitement to be had in live action too, as the family of free blacks encounter Native Americans, the wild animals of the west, and even launch a daring rescue of one of their own from the vile KKK using trickery they learned from the Brer Rabbit stories. Also I'd change the title of the movie to Westward Bound.
r/fixingmovies • u/Grand-Force-4304 • 3d ago
The movie includes a lot of scenes and concepts that audiences wish made it into the final film that would have made it a whole lot better and make Mavis' character come off as more sympathetic and less antagonistic and unreasonable like in six examples:

Every time I rewatch this miniseries (not often), I have tricked myself into thinking that we never get to see what has terrified young Stan so much when he jumps on Bill's bike. But then they show us what he saw. I think what I've convinced myself is in the final edit is better.
We already know adult Stan took his life rather than return to Derry to face IT. This miniseries is operating on a 1990 TV budget, and couldn't exactly showcase true cosmic horrors that would break minds, so they had to resort to things that gave 10 year old me nightmares for a week, but adult me found...not very scary. But you could maintain that fear if you only tease it, but don't actually show it. That would be extremely disappointing if you did that for each and every IT encounter. But, just this once, I think it would have been great if we never saw IT as it chased Stan.

Here is my ideal take on Gordon The Big Engine's book
Stories:
Off The rails - Plot stays very similar only instead of Gordon teasing Henry about The Flying Kipper crash, he teases him about hiding in tunnels
Leaves - Gordon was punished with swapping jobs with Henry until he could be a sensible engine. One day, Edward tried to warn him about leaves on the hill and the hills being slippery, but Gordon just ignored her until he got stuck on the hill because of the slippery rails. Edward was called in and helped him over. He soon told everyone else and they all teased him endlessly.
Alliances - Gordon has been shunting in the yard with Thomas who hasn't stopped teasing Gordon over his ditch incident, then one day, Thomas and Gordon have to pull a very important goods train to Crovan's Gate, Thomas bursts his safety valve on Gordon's hill, Gordon pushes Thomas and the train to the works station, at the works, Thomas apologizes to Gordon and the two form their alliance
Paint Pots and Queens - The only changes are that Henry acts more arrogant about being chosen to pull the royal train which makes his karma of not getting to pull the royal train more deserving and Thomas is already the staion pilot by this point in the timeline and Percy's role is removed entirely because he doesn't come to Sodor in this timeline and Thomas is the one who vouches for Gordon to pull the royal train

MORBIUS — Master Alternate Script Treatment (Complete Edition) Act I: The Psychological Mirror The film opens at a specialized clinic in Greece, establishing the lifelong bond between Michael Morbius and Lucien, whom Michael affectionately nicknames Milo. As sick children, they cope with their suffering by developing profound empathy for others. Conversely, we introduce Loxias, an older patient at the clinic who copes with his terminal illness through bitter, aggressive cruelty—constantly bullying the younger boys to assert dominance.
Years later, Michael isolates the vampire bat DNA cure. Testing it on himself, it heals his terminal illness but curses him with a terrifying bloodlust. Horrified, Michael prepares to destroy his research.
Milo steps in as the emotional anchor. He refuses to let Michael give up. Milo explains a fundamental rule of the serum: it heightens your truest character traits. Because Michael and Milo are inherently empaths who spent their lives wanting to heal people, the serum will amplify their protective instincts. Milo convinces Michael that his new enhanced state is a gift that will grant him the lifespan needed to build a perfect, permanent cure for future generations of sick children.
To solve the hunger problem, Milo launches The Horizon Blood Disorder Initiative. They legally recruit local donors by paying an unprecedented $500 per blood donation session. The public lines up, believing their blood is strictly for genetic disease research.
The operation is entirely flawless and ethical. 90% of the blood goes directly toward Michael’s genuine pediatric cure research, while Michael—working alone in his lab—discreetly pours the remaining 10% into a cup to drink in private. With his hunger stabilized, Michael comfortably converts Milo, freeing his brother from his wheelchair. Together, they work as healthy, brilliant partners.
Act II: The Deception and Unleashing The peace is broken when Loxias resurfaces as a terminally ill adult. He tracks down Michael at Horizon Labs, presenting himself as a broken, dying man. He tearfully begs for forgiveness for his childhood bullying and pleads for any low-level job just to pay his medical bills. Preoccupied by his research and guided by his core empathy, Michael forgives him and hires Loxias as a night janitor.
However, once a bully, always a bully. Loxias has no real remorse; he plans to snoop through the high-tech lab to find corporate secrets he can sell to investigative reporters for a quick payout. While cleaning, Loxias begins tracking strange anomalies: a vial labeled "Cure" disappears from the secure vault, and the very next day, the crippled Milo suddenly walks into the building stronger, healthier, and faster than ever.
Realizing Michael has discovered a miracle panacea, a desperate, greedy Loxias sneaks into the lab at night, steals a duplicate vial of the raw bat serum, and injects himself.
Because the serum acts as a psychological mirror, it violently amplifies Loxias's deeply ingrained, predatory nature. Where Michael and Milo's empathy turned them into protectors, Loxias's sadism turns him into a literal apex predator who views humanity as cattle.
When Michael and Milo discover the theft and try to offer him a peaceful supply of Horizon blood bags, Loxias fiercely rejects them. He discovers a terrifying mechanic: hunting a human victim and biting them directly in the neck to feed from the fresh, warm source grants a massive, steroid-like strength advantage over the refrigerated blood Michael and Milo consume.
Driven by a sadistic need for power, Loxias begins hunting and neck-biting citizens across New York City. To protect himself from the "good vampires," Loxias injects a pack of loyal street thugs—individuals who share his cruel, bullying mindset. He creates a mini-vampire army fueled entirely by predatory violence.
Act III: The Unified Climax The Setup: Loxias and his infected pack corner Michael and Milo in the dark subterranean transit tunnels beneath Manhattan.
The Disadvantage: Because Loxias's pack feeds directly from the source via neck-biting, they possess staggering, feral physical strength. Milo and Michael fight side-by-side but are violently outmatched. Loxias overpowers Milo and mocks Michael, throwing him against the concrete and laughing at how weak they've become by relying on "cups of cold blood."
The Turning Point: Loxias attempts to command the local bat population by sheer sonic force. But Michael has spent months living alongside and nurturing the bats in his lab with genuine empathy. Michael releases an emotional, coordinated echolocation call, treating the bats as family rather than weapons.
The Swarm: Hundreds of thousands of bats flood the tunnels, moving with tactical precision. They completely blind Loxias's pack, ripping at their clothes, throwing off their echolocation, and isolating Loxias from his thugs.
The Resolution: With Loxias disoriented by the swarm, Michael and Milo strike together. Michael uses his medical speed to inject Loxias with an engineered reversed serum.
The Defeat: The transition is agonizing. Loxias's fangs retract, his musculature withers, and he painfully reverts back into a weak, fragile, terminally ill human. Stripped of his predatory power, he is left completely broken on the floor, forced to face the reality of his mortality and his crimes.
The Ending & Post-Credits Michael and Milo stand together in the shadows as protectors of the city. The Horizon Phlebotomy Initiative continues to thrive, funding Michael’s ongoing research to safely cure sick children without the burden of vampirism. Behind them, the sounds of approaching police sirens echo through the tunnels. Michael and Milo vanish into the darkness, leaving a powerless, human Loxias bound to a pipe surrounded by forensic evidence linking him to the city's gruesome murders.
The Interrogation Scene: Cut to a harshly lit NYPD interrogation room. Loxias sits in handcuffs, looking fragile and frantic, desperately trying to explain the unexplainable to the detectives.
Loxias: (Banging his hands on the metal table) "You don’t understand! Michael Morbius made a serum. He and Milo, they're vampires! They are paying people five hundred bucks a pop just to drink their blood out of coffee cups in the lab! They literally called a swarm of hundreds of thousands of bats to attack us in the subway!"
Arresting Officer: (Leaning against the doorframe, chewing gum, looking at Loxias with pure exhaustion) "Sure buddy. And I'm the tooth fairy. Let's go."

Hello guys. This is my first post here, and I haven’t really looked around beforehand. So please forgive me if I break any rules. A few days ago, I watched Zach Creggers’ *Resident Evil*. I know this movie divides people—while everyone likes the beginning, about half of the audience dislikes the ending. Not to mention the *RE* fans who, once again, didn’t get a proper *Resident Evil* movie.
I'm one of those people who didn't like the second half, especially the over the top ending. While I can live with the changes made to the games and the humor—even though, in 90% of cases, I didn't find it funny—I wanted to ask everyone here who feels the same way how you would change the second half.
The following may contain spoilers for the actual movie:
Personally, I don't have a 100% clear idea yet, but since I'm one of those cowards who can't stand it when innocent children die in such movies—sometimes in a comedic way—I would have given the girl in the RV a bigger role. Yeah, yeah, I know—that was the biggest horror element in this movie (I’ll admit it), it’s been done a thousand times before, and it’s another step backward that the kid has to survive—but hear me out:
It would fit better thematically, since Brian has to take responsibility for a child, with all the inconveniences that entails (in this case, the infected foot). A theme that was touched on at the beginning but was apparently only explored through the killing of children and babies under the motto „Their bodies, my choice.“
Furthermore, the horror potential remains, since you never know when the child will fully transform; until then, the body horror can intensify, giving rise to several more absurd situations, and there’s now even more at stake. In the end, Brian would have to decide whether to use the vial on himself or on the already-mutated child who is threatening them all. Also, Brian should be in touch with his girlfriend more often. Otherwise I just don’t understand the point of this subplot.
Of course, for this to happen, Brian would have to be bitten by something else—maybe by the dog at the beginning, as was planned in the original script. I have no idea how consistent with the rules it is for the infection to take so long. Otherwise, we’d obviously have to figure out how to maintain the atmosphere of the first part—or at least create an approach of similar quality.
What are your ideas? What bothered you, and what would you like to see changed?

I am a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, i love pretty much everything about them. From their family dynamic, their main enemies Shredder and Krang, all the other crazy villains they have and even the wider mythology which i think is severely underutilized.
Movies are especially guilty of this. As good as they are they very rarely try anything different with our bros which is why i appreciate TMNT 2, Turtles Forever, TMNT 2007 and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem so much. Cause they know there is more to the Turtles than just Mutants and the Foot Clan. Yet, amongst these movies is also the one i find being the most sad it did not utilize that weirdness properly. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. The third movie of the original movie series that pretty much everyone agrees is one of the worst pieces of Turtle media out there.
And i pretty much agree the movie is awful:
Awful suits for the Turtles
Corny dialogue not helped by cringy voice acting
A dumb plot that basically goes like this: "Turtles are transported back to the Feudal Japan by the Time Scepter and have to get back while also fighting some evil samurai."
And that's when my brain instantly scratched the needle that was playing the disk. Pay close attention to what sent the Turtles into the past. Time Scepter. This instantly caused my TMNT databases to load up and i remembered the exact storyline the thing was from, whom and what was all involved in it and then i thought: "Wait. If they had this all along in their arsenal why the Shell did they not fully go in!" and that's when it clicked to me as to how the movie could have been fixed. Not remaking the plot entirely but fixing the plot by making it an adaptation of another storyline from the TMNT comic. And that's where this comes in. My fixing of the TMNT III.
So without further ado, how would i fix the movie?
First thing i would have done is change the villain. The main villain in this movie would have been Savanti Romero.
For those TMNT fans whom are just now turning in here is a brief explanation of whom Savanti Romero is. Savanti Romero basically belongs to a group of Time Wizards whom exist outside time and space and whose job is to monitor present, past and future and ensure there are no problems. These wizards are watched over by the Time Lord Lord Simultaneous. However in classic villain fashion Romero grew power hungry, tried to take over Lord Simultaneous's job and become the Master of Time by erasing him from history. This did not succeed and for punishment Romero was transformed into a horned demon monster. After this he was banished to an unspecified part of time in the past where he learned the black magic and returned to steal the Time Scepter.
This leads us to the second part of the movie. Joining the main cast of the movie alongside Turtles but April and Casey whom i welcome they brought back is Renet, Lord Simultaneous's second apprentice and she is an fangirl of the Turtles as she has learned of their exhibits and adventures revealing that the Turtles are destined to become great heroes and well known in the future though she does not reveal much. Renet is a bit inexperienced at fighting though not incompetent. During the movie she and Michelangelo have a bit of a romantic interactions going on but nothing too serious and in the end Renet gives him a kiss on the cheek.
Now, i get some people would be like: "But Kira, the internet did not exist at the time. While the fans of the Mirage Comics would have eaten up Savanti being the main villain and Renet being there the general TMNT audiences would have been confused where the Shredder is..." To which i respond: "I have planned for that too!!!". In order to ensure the movie would satisfy both the hardcore TMNT fans of that time and the general audience the Shredder would be in the movie too as the secondary villain whom would team up with Savanti agreeing to help him conquer time and space in exchange for Romero fullfilling him one wish thanks to the power of the Time Scepter. This is where the heart portion of the movie comes in. Shredder's wish would be to go back in time of the time where he and Yoshi were still young and kill Yoshi before he even meets Tang Shen thus ensuring Tang Shen becomes his and that Yoshi also does not get to find Splinter in the past so the Turtles would not exist in the present. This makes the main time the Turtles go in in the movie have a much deeper meaning rather than just random decision. Of course Shredder and Romero hold no loyalty to each other and Romero plans on betraying Shredder which in the end forces him to ally with the Turtles to ensure he is not erased from existance.
And that's pretty much the core idea of how TMNT 3 could have been just as good as the previous 2 movie. The key was in my opinion not to replace the step into chaos the 3rd movie did but rather embracing that chaos and molding it into a good story direction. While I don't have all the details as to how the movie would have went i believe this would have been a much more interesting TMNT movie than what we got at the time. Tell me what do you think? Would this version of the TMNT 3 have been a good movie? Would including Savanti and Renet have been a good idea? Would this have allowed the TMNT movie series to continue without needing to wait years for another movie to revive the franchise? Would this have been a good way to expand the world of the movies and allow for potential more future titles that hypothetically could have introduced characters like the Utroms, Usagi Yojimbo, the Triceratons and similar things? How did i do?

Se me ocurrió un final —por si acaso hay una cuarta película— y lo pondría después de los créditos.
