Now, I tried to post this once before on this site, but ask.com keeps popping up on my computer for no damned reason, and ate my last post. So I'll just give the cliff notes version, as I have no desire to type that whole thing up again.
First, thanks a lot for saying yes on the story ideas thing, it's real nice of you. And don't worry, I'd only like to throw ideas out there; I'm not looking for a critique on my writing style.
So, the ideas:
Sometimes when a show or comic series I like has a story that I didn't like, I try to think about how I would have done it differently, made it into something I could have liked. And I hated Moore's run, so...
How I would have done it: Dead Wrong.
Chase gets a job with Val. Nico asks him why he wants to work with a DJ, of all things, and Chase responds that Val is the one guy that calls bullsh*t on the other adults, and that makes him worthy of respect. The Mejesdeians come to take Karolina... home, as they are making like the X-Men and gathering all their lost brethren up to a place of sanctuary.
However, they also have another motive; arrest and/or kill Xavin, who's wanted for being the leader of the Skrull army that attacked them, and to destroy the planet Earth, for it's involvement in the war! Fortunately, not all the Mejestians knew about the full plan, and are horrified at the thought of planetary genocide. They help the Runners stop the bomb, but several of the good Mejesdiens lose their live in the process.
With nothing to threaten Planet Earth, and no reason for Karolina or Xavin (well, maybe Xavin - I'd rather she hadn't gone, but if we're just putting a spin on what happened in cannon...) to go with them, the aliens leave, but not before one of them, upset by the deaths of his/her comrades, tells Karolina that she is not a Mejesdian, she is a human who just looks like a Mejesdian, and would never fit in on their new world, anyway.
Well, that's the cliff notes version of how my way would go; I typically dislike going into to much detail, and am still working out some of the smaller things in my head. Please feel free to give your opinion on my idea, and I'll try to post my re-imagining of "Rock Zombies" Tomorrow, if you want to hear it.
I am such a procrastinator.
