If you could rewrite Act 26's ending?

Let's see...

I'd have gotten rid of Big Fau's detachable rocket-propelled forearms. They were the Worst Attack Ever.

Also, I would have gotten rid of the Final Stage. Roger Smith and Big O do NOT kill thousands of people through collateral damage! Yet they blew up an entire dome with the Final Stage -- without destroying their actual target! That was totally out of character.

I don't think I'd have changed much at the actual ending. I'd have made Roger's speech to Angel make more sense. I'd have had Angel nod her head at the end of it.

I'd have drawn the scene with Dorothy and Angel standing together less clumsily. (I would also be tempted to Roger drive past little Dan Dastun and little Sybil Rowan buying tickets to a movie that is NOT "Winter Night Phantom!")

While I was at it, I'd make Act 25 about two minutes longer. I'm sure that the Behemoth sequence was supposed to be longer, make more sense, and be far less lame.

Actually, I'd rewrite the last part of Episode 25 - maybe make an Episode 25 1/2.

They need to explain the whole Behemoth thing a little more - what it was, its role in the world of Paradigm City, Vera's "merging" with it. Plus, it should have a more dramatic demise. Maybe Big O and Big Fau together take it down (along with some falling scaffolding ).

Then Big O and Big Fau can go at it with each other - following the script of Episode 26 for the most part.

Other than that, I'm happy with it. Super show!

I gotta agree, ACT. That was a pretty bad move and seem to just come from nowhere. Let's see you swim, now! And I also agree that the Behemoth needs to be explained, what the hell its doing in Paradigm City, what happened to Vera, and a better scene where Big O destroys it would seem neccessary. Also, the whole 'last Roger speech' would probably have to be written to, oh I don't know, make sense.

The Dastun and Rowan thing is a good idea as well and I also would have added in a Michael Seebach with a newspaper or something like that.
Peace.

There is very little I can say to that; but I agree to every word, I never understood the Behemoth bit.
I'd of had Dan and Sybil, but slightly older perhaps, going into a different movie (like you said) and of had a un-mummied Seebach (like you said) to, yeah... I can see it now... Seebach sitting on a bus stop bench; reading a newspaper, a small, slightly knowing smile on his face... *cough* sorry 'bout that.
And what is the deal with Angel and Dorothy at the end? Dorothy looks... Different... And I hope it's just the perspective or Angel shrunk/ Dorothy grew a foot or so.
