The boss walks in, there's someone on the phone for you:

  • Phone: "Hi, I'm the leader person behind that book/television/film franchise you complain about online and gee-whiz, you're right! We want you to run things from here on out."
  • You: "Do I get supreme retcon powers?"
  • Phone: "Of course! We'll even retroactively edit in your changes!"

Huh, that was easy. What are you changing?

Jeremiah, Jericho, dead like me.

They were all great ideas (though jericho wasn't necessarily original), that if you grabbed some great writers could be modernized to be awesome. But since they didn't have a wide audience, they never will happen unless I use this power. Most of the others mentioned here will eventually get redone.

I loved all three of those. I even liked the Dead Like Me movie and read the Jericho comics.
