You only need to look at what George Lucas did with 'Star Wars' movies when he was under the thumb of the studio (Episodes IV - VI) and when he was left to his own artistic vision (the prequels) to see that studio meddling can be a good thing. We asked you to show us some other bad ideas that we were saved from by last minute changes.
Many of our favorite video games dropped us in the middle of complete madness and never bothered explaining what the hell was going on. We give you the back stories that explain some of the acid flashbacks we grew up playing inside.
The world has changed pretty radically over the past twenty years, but we're still taking the same classes at the same ages as always. Some mandatory classes that would make everyday life suck less.

If you've been to certain cities in California lately, you know that repealing a single law can change things fast (or you will know that as soon as you're no longer high from the clouds of pot smoke you were swimming through). What the world might look like if other laws were suddenly legal.
You can tell a lot about a person by whose name they're shouting when they wake up drenched in their own urine. But unless they're getting disemboweled by Freddy Krueger or in a Christopher Nolan film, we rarely get to look at what evil lurks in the wetmares of famous fictional characters. Until now.
Good ideas seem like foregone conclusions after the fact. Coca-Cola has been around for so long, we never stop to think how switching a few words around at the pitch stage could have turned it into sugar infused brown cocaine. Some other great ideas that were one tiny tweak away from being disasters.
