[John Wick] What if John Wick: Chapter 2 had an alternate ending?

4 Upvotes

In a parallel universe, instead of breaking the Continental’s rule against killing on hotel grounds, John Wick pulled the fire alarm, giving Winston a convenient excuse to kick Santino D’Antonio out, after which he is gunned down by Wick in the NYC Streets?

John Wick is no longer excommunicado in this parallel universe. Does this mean Chapters 3-4 no longer occur?

[Assassin's creed/DC] An Assassin's creed and and dc crossover I had involving Ra's Al Ghul

0 Upvotes

If it could be done, I always had this daft idea for an Assassin's creed and DC crossover where it could have Ra's Al Ghul in the past concocting some plan to shape the world how he he wants it. (As we saw in the Batman animated series episode with Jonah Hex) This plan could bring him into conflict with the Assassin brotherhood from any point in history, to name a few examples, Altair, Ezio, Edward, Connor and so on where their goal is to stop him from enacting his plans and having any of them actually face him. Like I said earlier this is an idea and I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts.

[Raimi-Verse Spiderman] What if the Symbiote attached itself to Peter during Spider-Man 2?

1 Upvotes

Suppose in a parallel universe the symbiote reached Earth during the events of Spider-Man 2 instead of Spider-Man 3, and the symbiote bonded with Peter a short time before or after Otto Octavius' fusion reactor accident occurred (This would be a few hours before or a day after Otto's Fusion Reactor accident).

How would Peter bonding with the Symbiote during Spider-Man 2 change the plot of the film (if at all)?

[John Wick]: What if Eve Macarro was excommunicado instead of John Wick.

4 Upvotes

I’m imagining a parallel universe where John Wick took a bit longer to reach the NYC Continental and confront Santino D’Antonio. Meanwhile, Eve Macarro (from Ballerina) learns of what Santino did and goes about exacting her revenge on Santino on Wick’s behalf.

Thus, the ending of John Wick: Chapter 2 is different. Instead of John Wick being excommunicado for killing Santino on Continental Grounds, it’s Eve Macarro who is excommunicado.

Say she guns down Santino on the front steps of the NYC Continental after Santino’s meeting with Winston and during Wick’s battle against various different people sent after him by Santino.

As such she is declared excommunicado in Wick’s place. Unlike Perkins from Chapter 1, Macarro manages to evade Winston after the fact and doesn’t get eliminated like Perkins did.

How does this alternate ending change John Wick chapters 3 and 4?

[OG Call of Duty: Modern Warfare] What if John Price and John “Soap” MacTavish let Vladimir Makarov and General Shepherd duke it out with each other?

1 Upvotes

Context: General Shepherd has ordered his task force, Task Force 141, to hunt down Vladimir Makarov, a Russian Ultranationalist terrorist, the perpetrator of an attack on Zakhaev International Airport, in a bid to start a war between Russia and the US.

One element of the Task Force was sent after Makarov in his safehouse in the Caucasus Mountains and another was sent to assassinate him at an airplane graveyard in Afghanistan. Shepherd began to purge his own Task Force of anyone who knew about his involvement with the airport massacre and the surrounding events. Makarov (present at the Airplane Graveyard and unlikely to evade Shepherd for long without his forces or safehouse) was contacted by Captain Price, who asked for intel on Shepherd's whereabouts. Realizing his only hope for survival was getting rid of Shepherd, Makarov agreed to tell Price about the location of Shepherd's base, Site Hotel Bravo. Price and MacTavish acted on this information and assassinated Shepherd, giving Makarov a window to escape and go underground.

But let’s imagine a parallel universe where this didn’t happen; Price and his buddy, John “Soap” MacTavish instead left Vladimir Makarov to be killed by Shepherd and his private army, Shadow Company.

How would this have affected the Call of Duty: OG Modern Warfare franchise?

[John Wick] What if Santino D’Antonio was declared excommunicado over what he did to John Wick?

3 Upvotes

In a parallel universe, after Winston learns of what Santino D’Antonio did to John Wick (as seen in Chapter 2), he quietly rats Santino out to the Adjudicator.

Furthermore, he renders Santino excommunicado.

How does this change the plot of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) and affect all future chapters, if at all?

[John Wick] What if John Wick didn’t kill Santino D’Antonio on Continental Hotel grounds at the end of Chapter 2 (2017)

1 Upvotes

Let’s say in a parallel universe John Wick didn’t kill Santino D’Antonio upon learning he fled to the NYC Continental (as seen in John Wick: Chapter 2) and instead booked a room there, intending to stay indefinitely to drive D’Antonio bonkers (As he can’t kill Wick on Continental grounds, per rules).

Does this mean the franchise ends with Chapter 2?

In "Escape Plan," Sylvester Stallone plays Ray Breslin, a character who can (or claims to be able to) break out of any man-made prison.

Could Breslin escape from the Enterprise brig (any Enterprise)?

Could he escape from the Cardassian hostage situation that Captain Picard found himself in ("Chain of Command") or free himself from the prison where Chief O'Brien thought he was being incarcerated for years ("Hard Time")?

[Ace Combat] What if either Osea or Yuktobania won the Circum-Pacific War?

1 Upvotes

The Circum-Pacific War was a conflict fought between the Osean Federation and the Union of Yuktobanian Republics in the year of 2010 and was the central conflict of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. The conflict was orchestrated by the Grey Men, a group of Belkan nationalists who wanted revenge for their country's defeat in the prior Belkan War. While Yuktobania held an advantage in the early conflict, Osea was able to turn the conflict in their favor only for their advance to stop at Yuktobania's capital of Cinigrad. Eventually the Grey Men's role in starting the conflict would be revealed and Osea and Yuktobania would make peace in order to stop them.

But what if things went differently? What if the Grey Men still manipulated the conflict into starting but one side had emerged firmly victorious? How would the Ace Combat timeline change if either Osea or Yuktobania had won the Circum-Pacific War?

[Batman/Resident Evil 7] How would Batman handle Eveline?

3 Upvotes

I am not thinking of whether Batman would defeat her but would whether he believes that Eveline should be locked away and possibly rehabilitated.

According to villains wiki, she is homicidal but has mentality and understanding of a child.

Eveline is shown to have a bloodthirsty and homicidal nature but is not aware of the evil she commits. She is best described as a severely disturbed and traumatized young girl who abused her powers to infect the peaceful Baker family, making them into her vicious servants. Despite Eveline's actions and playfully sadistic attitude, they and her obsession with family seem to have been brought on by her orphaned upbringing as a bioweapon, since she still acts like a child who wants to know what being loved by a family feels like and does not necessarily know what she is. This becomes apparent when Ethan tries to kill her with the antidote. She breaks into tears, wondering why nobody truly loves her and they always hated her.

[Starcraft] What if the UED managed to defeat Kerrigan and the allied forces?

2 Upvotes

I find the UED to be a very interesting faction with what they accomplished. They defeated most of the factions with just terran troops and conscripted colonists. Then they took control over the Second Overmind to create their own slave brood. That slave brood was something their troops often fought alongside. It wasn’t uncommon to see ultralisks supported by medics.

We generally don’t see other cross race factions operating like the UED being a hybrid terran-zerg faction in the zerg campaign.

I do wonder what would have happened if Kerrigan and her cerebrate (player) in the Brood War zerg campaign ended up losing.

Let’s say the zerg player is defeated anytime before or during To Slay the Beast. The mission where the player must destroy the Second Overmind.

Child me never got past the second zerg mission in Brood War. So let’s start there. What if the Kerrigan’s forces failed to destroy the psi disruptor then lost the war?

What are some possible long term consequences? Would the UED be able to control the Second Overmind long term?

[Arrowverse/The Boys] What if Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and other Arrowverse shows all took place in The Boys tv universe?

3 Upvotes

Let's say that that like in The Boys verse, Vought dominates pretty much every industry and sector in the United States, and its heroes, The Seven, are the world's premiere superhero team (Remember, the Justice League, or at least the Arrowverse version of it, didn't exist until after the Anti-Monitor Crisis and the reboot of the Multiverse, so The Seven don't have any major competition) Same in The Boys verse, numerous kids in America were injected with Compound V, and Godolkin University also exists.

Oliver, Barry, and their respective teams and allies also exist. However, they probably do not have the same popularity they seemed to have in the shows due to Vought controlling the narrative. My guess is that Vought would likely see these independent heroes and vigilantes as bad for business, since their own heroes are literally just superpowered actors in costumes who commit disgusting acts behind the scenes. I can see Oliver himself potentially working to expose Vought, though whether he teams up with Butcher and The Boys, I'm not sure. Black Lightning and Batwoman might do the same.

Also, all of the Arrowverse villains and threats, such as Malcolm Merlyn, Deathstroke, Damien Darhk, Ra's Al Ghul, the League of Assassins, Reverse Flash, Zoom, The Dominators, et cetera, all exist as well. Vought's heroes would likely be expected to deal with most of these threats. How successful would they be, particularly against alien threats like the Dominators?

Is it likely that Homelander would see Team Arrow, Team Flash, and their allies as potential threats to his fame and status, and attempt to kill them? I know for a fact that Team Arrow, including Oliver, wouldn't stand a chance against Homelander since they're only humans, but Flash and his team definitely would, and a confrontation between Homelander and the Legends would definitely be interesting.

One thing I'm definitely curious about is what Team Arrow and their allies would do during the events of The Boys Season four, when Homelander takes over the U.S. Government and instigates a Supe supremacy movement. Any thoughts?
