The boss walks in, there's someone on the phone for you:

Phone: "Hi, I'm the leader person behind that book/television/film franchise you complain about online and gee-whiz, you're right! We want you to run things from here on out."
You: "Do I get supreme retcon powers?"
Phone: "Of course! We'll even retroactively edit in your changes!"

Huh, that was easy. What are you changing?

The Legend of Korra spoilers:

spoiler

Korra doesn't stakelessly get her bending back 15 seconds after losing it to Amon. They had the opportunity to give her the self-discovery arc that they tried to shoehorn into the post-Zaheer poison recovery.

The series could've had much better footing, in my opinion, if Korra had wrestle with that just a bit longer. Instead, a bunch of bald people show up and say, "I got you, Holmes," and then she's good as new.

It's been a while, and I've lost some of my steam over this. But yeah, that's the only one I've got the energy to type out right now.
