If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

[(Anonymous)]

Lets say you have a show/book/movie/whatever that you love, but contains a few incidents that are so bad you wish they had never existed. If you could pick only one of these incidents to delete from canon, which would you pick? Do this with as many works as you like!

It's your choice how much to change in order to delete the aftermath/effects of that incident along with the deleted incident, or whether you want to come up with an alternate incident to replace the deleted one.

The last arc before cancellation.

Albert Wesker having a kid. I can buy him having a clone or making a Frankenstein child with artificial insemination and some weird virus he created. But having a careless one night stand? Only to create some boring, basic son who reads like a Gary Stu? Yeah, I'll pass on that just because the franchise wanted to milk their cash cow.

I wanted to say Derek and Kate's relationship, and then my brain went on many tangents about what other ways Kate would use to get access to the Hales and if the fire would still have happened anyway and so many possibilities sparked from just that one thing not occurring. Hmmm.

Aeris's Death.

Spoilers for 3B Teen Wolf, I guess

Scott throwing Isaac against a wall - twice! - out of jealousy.

That was so ooc, damn.

Due to the nature of comics, the Doug Moench/Kelly Jones runs on Batman aren't that big a deal in the greater tapestry of Batman's career, as much of it was mostly incidental garbage long-forgotten. But I'd still love for them to never have happened.

The entirety of Silent Hill: Homecoming and Silent Hill: Origins. It's so obvious both were inspired more by the movie than the actual game lore.

The entire fifth season of Lost.

Book 3 of the Parasol Protectorate.

Babylon 5: The telepath arc in season 5. I loved the earlier telepath episodes, and I loved the idea of it. The execution, though, wasn't good. It dragged out way too long (for obvious reasons since they needed filler, but still annoying).

Doctor Who: Donna's end. Just Donna's end.

Supernatural: Everything past season 5. No, but, Cas going evil in season 6. It made no sense, was stupid, and everything went downhill from there.

Buffy: The way Riley left. The whole it was Buffy's fault and Xander blames her (Xander lectures are so hypocritical most of the time they piss me off and I just want to punch him) and she runs after him. Ugh, no. It really did feel like a take-that at people who didn't like Riley.

Seasons 5-7 of Buffy.

Argh, that one brief scene where Owen Harper date-rapes that couple with alien sex-spray shit. I can deal with asshole characters (the series is full of them), but there's a fucking line, man. The creators' denial of it being rape is really what peeves me though.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

[othellia]

I say this all the time in these threads, but the 10th Doctor's treatment of Harriet Jones. Although I've started to warm up to its existence a little bit, seeing as how it's spawned this:

Voyager: That whole mess with The Void and Janeway basically sulking. Arrrgh that pissed me off so bad.

Quantum Leap: just that fucking last "Sam Beckett never returned home" why the hell would you do that to me???

Donna's fate: yes, I know there were meta reasons she couldn't stay but in the show the character would never have left willingly, but was that SERIOUSLY the best solution you could come up with? It's not like the Doctor hasn't dumped unwilling companions before...Donna could roam about the earth dealing with problems and yelling the Doctor's ear off whenever they ran into each other. She could be like Sarah Jane, who ALSO didn't exactly leave willingly and ended up being the number 1 human for lost aliens to seek out for help.

Flashpoint.

No Flashpoint means no universe reboot. No universe reboot means no New 52.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

Ace's death. Preferably the whole Marineford arc, but especially Ace's death.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

[tasogare_n_hime]

This is a hard one, I want to say the death of Alex Row in Last Exile, because he's my favorite character, and Alex/Sophia is my OTP. If I can only pic one per entire series I'd really have to go with Vasant's death in the sequel series. It was so freaking pointless to kill her then, and I was so pissed they took Sara's mother figure away from her on top of everything else the poor kid had been through.

I'd delete Xorn from the X-Men. The canon is filled with stupid plots, but that one led to a complete clusterfuck.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

FFXII - the conversation between Venat and Vayne just before the last battle. It didn't make any sense in the context of the rest of the game, unless Vayne was actually thinking he was fooling Venat, which seems unlikely. It seemed really obvious early on that Vayne never had any intention of becoming a new Dynast-King - he was setting himself up as a villain so that after he was rightfully defeated, his brother would have the entire land of Ivalice as his own empire (never mind that that wasn't what Larsa wanted). So Vayne's all like "I've failed, I will never be your Dynast-King" and ... seriously, at least Venat didn't pretend that was what she/he/whatever wanted, because it was pretty obvious there were ulterior motives there too. But I found Vayne's line there really stupid, considering he was already mortally wounded. And then Venat joining with him for the obligatory mutant final boss form was just silly.

I am pretty darned sure that Matsuno left the game's development before that scene was finalized, and someone else wrote something that he never intended to even imply and would have shot down immediately if he was still around. :P (I also suspect Balthier and Fran were supposed to die, but the Squenix head honchos were like "No no no you can't kill everyone in a MAIN SERIES FF game, dude! Save it for your indie stuff!" But since I like Balthier and Fran and their survival wasn't entirely implausible, I'm okay with how things wound up. Just not that last battle.)

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

Phantom Planet.

But if I had to pick one bit from that I don't think I could choose between Vlad going all "takin' over the world" or Sam's SHITTY speech about how Danny isn't special anymore and she's SOO disappointed in him.

Both of those things piss me off the most.

With the Sam thing...just...why go to the trouble of giving Danny a DAMN good reason to want to be rid of his powers...but then make him out to be wrong for it. Just...why? It makes Sam look really insensitive and selfish to be honest. SHE'S not the one who's family is in actual DANGER because of ghost hunting, who's parents are being ARRESTED.

Just arghhhh.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

[making_excuses]

Doctor Who: Donna's ending

Torchwood: Ianto's ending (or Tosh or Owen) actually not the fact that they died, but how they died, seriously?

Bones: Brennan and Booth ending up together and having a child, or actually never mind that: Zack apparently being a killer! By God that was stupid!

Hawaii Five-0 (new one): Catherine quitting her job and ending up working for 5-0, she was awesome in the Navy...

Grey's Anatomy: Meredith and Cristina's stupid argument thing that is going on right now, or the fucking plane crash, which probably is the reason to the argument anyway, and if that didn't happen two of my favorite characters would still be alive!

Gilmore Girls: I always wanted Rory to say yes to the proposal in the last season...

That's all I can think of right now, there is probably a lot more stuff I would change if I could.

I fear I am revealing my bad television habits right about now...

I suppose the entirety of Mass Effect 3 doesn't count.

Ok, Tennant's soulful eyes farewell montage.

X Files: the show ends with "Closure." The last episode of s8, and the episodes "Providence," "Provenance," and "William," become Movie II with some rewrites.

BSG: The Woman King never happened. Nothing changes whatsoever, that ep was a complete waste.

FMA: Edward keeps his ability, he gives up alchemy voluntarily. He's learned to live without it and that some things are more important than talent, I think willingly giving something instead of having something be taken from him (again) would be a much more powerful end.

DS9: Sisko keeps his promise to Kassidy. I know we don't actually know whether he does or not, but that ending just seemed so FINAL for him, it was heartbreaking.

Dark Tower: gonna be vague so as not to spoil, but the decision Susannah makes at The Artist's door? Wrong choice.

Jane Eyre: should have read "Reader, I told him to GTFO." She continues being awesome and chilling with her cousins and teaching her school and being quietly awesome.

SPN: somewhere in the midst of S6, Dean, Sam, Cas, Bobby, and Balthazar realize that the reason they've been so off their game is that they're fictional characters waiting for their author to get on with their story. Not only does it explain the awful that was that season, but it also keeps Chuck involved and takes the show back to its all-our-best-moments-are-stolen-from-other-shows glory.

Johnathan Strange: should not have ended where it did. Result: a more satisfying conclusion.

Re: If you could delete just one incident from a canon, what would it be?

[darkmanifest]

Angel: Connor. Just, Connor. He got cool in the final season, true, but the irreparable damage his existence did to every single one of the characters and their relationships was just...ugh.

Devil May Cry: Nero. He was unnecessary from the very moment of his conception, because the only thing that differentiated him from Dante was the Devil Bringer, and it would have been child's play to come up with a canon reason Dante had new arm and he had to adventure through Fortuna to discover its origins before it overtook him completely. Avoiding Nero might have prevented the clusterfuck that was DmC, too.

Naruto: Almost everything about the Tobi storyline. It should have stopped with Tobi being just another Akatsuki flunky with a mysterious connection to Kakashi, existing solely as his personal adversary, instead of canon twisting itself into knots to make Tobi the mastermind behind everything bad that happened to anyone ever in the last fifteen years. Jesus.
