A Perfect World - alternate ending

In the film A Perfect World, what if Butch didn't get shot and died? 86.159.226.206 (talk) 20:58, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

See the note at the top: "We don't answer requests for opinions, predictions or debate." You will need to find another place to ask about that speculation. RudolfRed (talk) 21:56, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

The obvious answer is, "He wouldn't have been dead." Any other questions? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Then, somewhere a Sean Bean character would have to die to balance cinematic karma. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

The film would have been panned by critics and bombed at the box office. The commercial disaster would have ended Clint Eastwood's film career. Eastwood would have gone back to politics and been elected the 45th president of the United States, but would have resigned after the unsuccessful invasion of Russia and subsequent loss of Alaska. After that, I don't know what would have happened, because than we'd be in 2021 and I'd be predicting an alternate future.  --Lambiam 09:46, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Butch would have gone back to his original name, Crash Davis, and resumed his minor league baseball career. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I thought he took that job coaching in Visalia? --Jayron32 11:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
