Imagine a world where George Lucas never made his Star Wars prequels. Someone actually blew the childhood rape whistle on him and his wretched schemes were thusly nixed. A place where Alan Moore?s comic book masterpiece Watchmen was never transformed into Zach Snyder?s shitty slow motion action porno. Instead it was an excellent HBO miniseries produced by Terry Gilliam. Whedon?s Firefly was never canceled and is still on air today. Michael Bay? Michael Bay is dead.
But while it's comforting to think about such a perfect world where all of nerdom?s proverbial boogeymen have been fittingly dispatched and all its most beloved treasures remain untarnished, I think it's even more fun to think about a world where the movies that actually almost happened here were made.
