AHC: Make M Night Shyamalan better.

I don't if this has been done before, but lets make his movies better. I say it can be easily done.

Village: The outside world is a Nuclear Wasteland.
 
Best way to save his film career is to make just one film better -- and that's Unbreakable. And I'm (mostly) with Cracked on the how -- just move back Elijah's reveal to about the midpoint. This allows for a few things:

1) Unbreakable can have less world exposition, and more superhero stuff (whatever M Night decides that means).
2) He stands a better chance of getting to do those sequels he wanted.
3) He never gets into that bad habit of giving everyone of his movies a "twist" ending.
 
More significantly rewrite the plot of the first series of Avatar: the Last Airbender so that the narrative actually works as a movie. For example, it could've easily cut the entire prison break bit. It was a distraction that just ate into time. And make sure the special effects weren't an after thought: they reall let the film down.

By the time he was ruining Avatar his reputation as a flop machine was pretty well established. Changing Avatar won't save his career, the POD would have to be at the latest after Signs is released. By then he had Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and his reputation hadn't been wrecked by The Village or Lady in the Water.

While I enjoy both The Village and Lady in the Water, I think that he needed someone else to step in and work on the Script of Signs as well as those two. His films after sign all feel the same and most moviegoers were guessing the Twist in the film. Maybe if he had told Sign as a more straightforward movie, and therefore surprised us who were looking for the twist.
 
Give the Aliens in Signs raincoats ?

The Village was alright the adults fears were keeping them there and they in turn used fear to keep their children with them. In the end it show that there fear was baseless if the outside was a nuclear waste land then it would justify the parents own fear mongering.

Unbreakable however should have had a fight scene with Willis and Jackson, it went a bit to long in the middle and the wimped out at the end.

A fight between Bruce Willis who is 'unbreakable' against a disabled and weakened man in a wheel chair isn't go to last very long.
