Uh, hi. I'm from another reality where you take over the world. And I need you to answer this question so that I can go back in time and stop you. (Don't ask me how I know, it isn't very interesting and I'd probably spend about 45 years in prison.) But, if you were to go back in time and create a franchise that already exists now, what would you make? (You can change anything as long as the core concept is the same.)

David Wong Probably Ghostbusters, only I'd get rid of the angle of them having sci-fi technology to fight the ghosts since it never made sense for them to have it with their limited resources (it was probably left over from an earlier version of Aykroyd's script, which took place in outer space, believe it or not) and it creates this weird theme of "private technology versus evil environmental regulators" which doesn't belong there anyway. I also don't know anything about New York so I guess I'd have to change the setting to someplace more like where I'm from.
