Headscratchers / How It Should Have Ended

• During the penultimate segment of How Joker Should Have Ended, Arthur Fleck is adopted by the Waynes. Flashforward to the altered present and he, Bruce, Thomas and Martha are leaving a theatre after one his performances when they are robbed and Thomas and Martha are shot. Seeing that Arthur is an adult in that scene, is clearly readying himself to fight and probably had money on him, why did the mugger spare him?
  • Perhaps HISHE themselves are aware of this since they had Superman say: "Okay something has gone wrong. This feels REALLY weird."
  • It's not uncommon to display the mugging as having gone wrong in general. Mugger panics, shoots one, shoots the other, shoots and misses, or not, either way he scampers — for any of various reasons, the adult Fleck doesn't go after him — two dead Waynes, no less, no more.
  • Arthur is kind of a wuss in the original film and doesn't look like he bulked up much in the altered timeline. It's possible he did try to fight the mugger, but was knocked down and unable to recover before his parents were killed and the robber ran away.
• During the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man scenario, it makes Superman and Batman wouldn't let Spidey in the café, since they didn't like the third film. But would about the first and second films he did?
  • It wasn't that they wouldn't let him in because they didn't like his movies. The Avengers HISHE says as much:
  Spider-Man: Ok, guys, come on. When do I get to come in the café?
  Superman: Dude, nobody ever said you can't come in here.
  Batman: Yeah, this is a public place.
  Spider-Man: I've been hanging around out here for like two years!
  Superman: Yeah, we know.
  Batman: It's been hilarious.
  
• In How The Last Crusade Should Have Ended, why did Elsa Schneider walk over the Great Seal with the Holy Grail? While in the actual film, the knight simply said that the Grail cannot pass beyond the Seal, so she didn't necessarily know whether doing so was something that would specifically cause bad things to happen or just that she wasn't allowed to do so, in the video, she heard the knight specifically say that doing so would cause the whole place to collapse.
  • Elsa and the Nazis were overjoyed after Indy passed them the Grail and were too busy jumping around in celebration to remember the knight's warning and/or notice they were walking over the Great Seal.

• In How Eternals Should Have Ended, why is Druig completely absent, even during scenes he was present for in the original movie?
