Wouldn’t it be great…


Smallville.

Wouldn’t it be great if Lex Luthor had only appeared in the last episode of the ever series of Smallville. What we got instead was a baby-faced Lex who went on a journey of dark side conversion that was so stupid that George Lucus could have written it.

But imagine if we had never seen Lex until the very last scene of the entire show; no need to even see his face. Clark accepts his destiny as Superman and then we see him flying around on multiple monitors, as the camera pans back to reveal that signature bald head. We all know who it is and it would have left the audience wanting more from the show. The actual show we got was one that ended because the audience was sick of it.

Miley Cyrus
Wouldn't it be great if no one had batted an eyelid at the “stunt” Miley Cyrus pulled –what’s it called “twerking”? all the public outrage from celebrities and member of the public alike is blatantly exactly what she wanted to happen. It was a textbook way of generating publicity (Justin Bieber did the same thing by tweeting a picture of himself holding a fake scrip for Batman vs Superman) and if you’re really offended by it the only way to make it stop is by ignoring it.

Doctor Who
Wouldn’t it be great if the Comic Con trailer for 50th Anniversary Who was a massive red herring and deliberately edited (or even shot) to mislead everyone who saw it. I mean they could threaten their way to no one releasing illegal copies of it online, but they couldn’t stop people describing it. It would be awesome if the whole thing was intended to send the fandom in completely the wrong direction in guessing things story-wise. Plus, it would be just like Moffat to pull a stunt like that.
