How Wonder Woman 1984 Should Have Ended

How Wonder Woman 1984 should have ended is a recent Hishe short by Daniel Baxter.

Plot
Wonder Woman destroys most of Max Lord's convoy, but the driver wishes for her to disappear before she kills him and Lord.

Right after Steve Trevor is revived, Diana wants to make out but he declines as it would be unfair to the body he is using.

Max Lord wishes to become the Dream Stone, but instead of simply gaining its powers he actually transforms into a human-sized version of the stone.

Steve and Diana prepare to fly to Egypt, but the plane doesn't work because it is from a museum. Alternatively, they get the plane in the air, but run out of gas before reaching Egypt. Alternatively, Steve assumes that the plane is the same as in 1918, but goes too fast and crashes the plane.

When Wonder Woman refuses to come down so Cheetah can scratch her, so Barbara instead flies up to her due to having the same powers. Afterwards in the Villain Pub, she explains to Joker how she destroyed Diana and Max granted everyone's wishes, but it came at a price. Several villains including Palpatine, Zod, and Megatron share their wishes and the prices, before Cheetah asks Joker what he wished for. He responds that he didn't wish for anything, as the chaos caused by the wishes is enough and he couldn't wish for anything more.

BUT THIS IS HOW IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE ENDED...

As Steve fights Max, Max asks him what his wish is, and Steve wishes for all the wishes to be undone.

Afterwards outside the Super Cafe, Wonder Woman explains to Asteria what happens, and how she took "Handsome Man" home. Asteria asks why his name is Handsome Man and that it seems really off brand, before asking who had to pay a price for Steve's wish( Steve or Handsome Man) and Diana replies that she should now call Handsome Man by his new name: Shriveled Face Man. Asteria says that this all seems really messed up, and Diana replies that if anyone gets upset they could just do it over again and act like the first time didn't count.

Then, Batman shows up in the Batmobile, and he tells Diana it's time. She then explains to Asteria that she has to go do Justice League over and act like the first time didn't count. Batman then asks if Asteria wants to come too, and get a sweet slice of the Snyder Cut. He says she can bring her "Foxy gold armor that looks like Pharah from Overwatch.". He then asks her if afterwards, she wants to get to know his secret identity, but Asteria kicks the Batmobile away, where it crashes and explodes. Batman walks over and asks for a ride due to the Batmobile exploding, and Wonder Woman flies away, with Batman shouting," Holy Crap! How long is that lasso?" as they fly off.

In a post-credits scene, Batman flies alongside Diana Because He's Batman, and Superman, who is flying next to them, asks if they're going to fly out into space and smile at the camera.

Transcript
We open with the convoy chase as Diana destroys every truck she comes across.

Maxwell Lord: Somehow the woman from the museum is destroying my convoy!

Diana leaps into the air after tipping a truck onto it's front and lands on the hud of Maxwell's truck.

Maxwell Lord & Driver: AGH!

Maxwell Lord: She could kill us all!

Driver: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Maxwell Lord: (grabbing the driver's face) Don't you just WISH she would disappear?!

Driver: YES!!! YES I DO!!!

Diana prepares to punch the windshield... and disappears out of existence.

Maxwell Lord: Whew, that was a close one.

Wonder Woman 1984: How It Should Have Ended

We cut to Steve looking into a mirror while Diana sits on the sofa (or couch if you're American).

Steve: Wow. I can't believe I'm really here.

Diana: I know.

Steve: And not just out of thin air but in another man's body at that.

Diana: I know!

Steve: So weird.

Diana lies sexily on the sofa now, showing off her left leg. Like father like daughter, I guess.

Diana: Okay, let's do it!

Steve: But I'm in another man's body!

Diana: So?

Steve: So that seems a little wrong, don't you think? How do we even know this isn't... against his will?

Diana: Aw... I guess you're right.

Diana, a little bummed out, sits back up.

Diana: Okay, we won't do it. Whew! That could have seriously wrecked my reputation!

However, we zoom into Handsome Man's mind to see him tied up and hanging out with the characters of Inside Out.

Handsome Man: (speaking for everyone in the world) I CONSENT!!! I CONSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Fast Forward. Maxwell Lord is holding The Dream Stone.

Maxwell Lord: I wish to be you, The Dream Stone itself!

Maxwell gets his wish... and he transforms into a human sized version of The Dream Stone.

Dream Stone Maxwell Lord: Aw nuts!

Fast Forward. Steve and Diana are in what will become The Invisible Jet. There are three ways this scene should have played out.

Steve: Okay, let's get this bird up in the air, shall we? Let's see...

Steve starts pressing buttons.

Steve: So many buttons... Engine! Here we go.

He presses the button... and nothing happens.

Steve: Nothing's happening.

Museum Guard: It ain't got no gas in it!

Steve: Oh...

Museum Guard: Because this is a museum!

Steve: Oh...

OR

They are flying off towards Egypt.

Steve: Okay, we managed to gt this museum jet off the ground. Now all we gotta do is fly to Egypt. Let's see... How far away is it?

Diana: About 6,000 miles.

Steve: Alright. And how far can we get on a tank of gas?

Diana: About... 1,000 miles.

Silence.

Steve: WELL POOP, DIANA!

Cue The Invisible Jet crashing into The North Atlantic Ocean.

OR

They are prepping the jet for lift off.

Steve: Okay, I'm sure all planes are still the same as they were in 1918. Let's just let her rip shall w-?

The jet zooms off screen.

Steve: HOLY CRAP, THIS THING IS FAST!!!

The jet crashes into something off screen, causing tons of alarms going off.

Fast Forward. Diana faces off with Cheetah in her Asteria Armour.

Wonder Woman: Barbara?

Cheetah: Yeah!

Wonder Woman: Are you a cat now?

Cheetah: Yeah, I'm a cat! What are you, a bird now?

Wonder Woman: No!

Cheetah: You have wings, though! You're flying!

Wonder Woman: This is just special armour. I don't need the wings to fly. I'm sorry. D-did you WISH to become a cat?

Cheetah: I actually wished to be like you.

Wonder Woman: (amused) Why are you a cat then?

Cheetah: Max gave me an upgrade so technically that makes me stronger than you now!

Wonder Woman: NO!

Cheetah: Stop flying and come down here so I can scratch you!

Wonder Woman: ... No, I don't think I will.

Cheetah: Fine, I'll just fly up to you then!

Wonder Woman: Cats can't fly, Barbara.

Cue Barbara flying and proving Diana wrong.

Cheetah: Here I come!

Wonder Woman: OH CRAP!

Cheetah: *angry cat noises*

Cut to Later in The 1980's Villain Pub as Cheetah finishes telling her story to Arthur Fleck Joker and Jack from The Shining... while the entire place goes to hell around them due to the wishes Maxwell Lord granted to everyone.

Cheetah: And then I destroyed her, y'know, as cats do when it comes to wimpy little birds.

Jack from The Shining: So then what happened?

Cheetah: Well, look around. After that, Max granted everyone's wishes but obviously it came at a price.

Palpatine: Tell me about it! I wished for another Death Star AND IT ALREADY EXPLODED!!!

Megatron: I wished to be immortalized in a live action motion picture!

Cheetah: What did it cost?

Megatron: I don't know yet but I'm excited to see my image properly represented!

Hans Gruber: I wished for all of the money in the world.

Sensei from The Karate Kid: YOU JERK! YOU TAKE ALL THE MONEY I CAN'T AFFORD TO RUN MY DOJO!

Sensei attacks Hans.

Zod: I wished for a rematch with Superman. I'll beat him next time! It's not like he's going to kill me.

Cue Jason walking around with the rotting corpse of his mother.

Jason: I wished to hang out with Mommy again! Isn't she the best?!

Cheetah: Apparently the details are really important with these wishes.

David Lo Pan: This wishing thing is bullcrap! I wishes for two wives with green eyes!

Cue the wives walking in... with mismatched faces and only one giant green eye each.

David Lo Pan: I didn't know I needed to specify the location of the eyes for each of them!

Palpatine: (confused as hell) What happened to the other eyes?

Cue Skeletor walking in with two giant green eyes.

Skeletor: I'll tell you where they went! Nyeeaaaaghhh

Cheetah: What about you? What did you wish for?

Joker: I didn't wish for anything. All this chaos! I couldn't wish for anything more! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Joker leaves.

But this is how it really should have ended

Steve has Maxwell pinned against a wall in The White House.

Maxwell Lord: Oh, you're sweet! Defending your love, huh?! What do you wish for?! D o you want to be a real boy?!

Steve: Well, that's a really weird thing to say to someone you don't even know. But if you're saying I get a wish... I wish for all of the wishes to be undone.

Wish granted!

Maxwell Lord: Aw dang!

We cut to Present Day as Diana finishes telling her story to Asteria in The Girl Cafe.

Wonder Woman: So Steve sacrificed himself to save the world. Again.

Asteria: So then what happened?

Wonder Woman: Well, then I smashed the stone to bits with my sword and shield because I remembered "Hey, I have these things! I should use them!".

Asteria: And then?

Wonder Woman: After that, I took Handsome Man home. Boy, did he have a lot of questions! None of which I ever answered.

Cue flashback to Diana leaving Handsome Man home, shushing him quietly as the door closes over.

Handsome Man: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... what the heck?

Back to the present.

Wonder Woman: Hahaha, poor Handsome Man.

Asteria: His name is Handsome Man?

Wonder Woman: Yep.

Asteria: That seems... really off brand.

Wonder Woman: I'm just thankful for Steve/Handsome Man's sacrifice. Otherwise, who knows how many people I'd have to convince to renounce their wishes.

Asteria: Yeah, that seems very unlikely.

Wonder Woman: I know. What if someone wished for something selfless like world peace? How do you explain to someone that a heroic wish is a bad thing?

Asteria: Speaking of which, does that mean Steve had to pay a price for his wish or Handsome Man?

Wonder Woman: Oh, Handsome Man REALLY got screwed in this story. By me AND the wish consequence. In fact, you might want to start calling him by his new name. Shriveled Face Man.

Cut back to Handsome Man looking in the mirror... and sees his face is shriveled to the extreme.

Shriveled Face Man: (does his best Denki Kaminari impression) Yeah!

Cut back to the present.

Asteria: This all sounds really messed up.

Wonder Woman: Well, if anyone really gets upset about it, we can just do it over and act like the first time didn't count.

Asteria: I'm sorry, what?

Cue The Batmobile arriving.

Batman: BEEP BEEP! Diana, it's time!

Wonder Woman: Speaking of which, I gotta do this thing over and act like the first time didn't count.

Batman: Hey hey, Asteria! Lookin' good! You wanna get in on this action? Have a sweet slice of The Snyder Cut? Hop in! I'll take you there! You can bring that foxy gold armour that looks like Pharah from Overwatch! It's gonna be sick!

Asteria: Do you mind if I..?

Wonder Woman: Please, be my guest.

Batman: And then after, maybe get to know my secret ident-.

Cue Asteria walking up... and kicking The Batmobile into an off screen building with Batman still in it, screaming his head off. Bruce then walks up to Diana, unscathed.

Batman: So, uh, my Batmobile is in the shop... Do you think I could get a lift?

Wonder Woman: Okay.

Diana stands up and Bruce hops onto her back, holding on tight.

Batman: Okay, I'm ready.

Wonder Woman: Hold on tight, Spider-Monkey.

Batman: Easy.

Diana throws her lasso into the air, which keeps going and going and going...

Batman: HOLY CRAP, HOW LONG IS THAT LASSO?

They take off.

The End.

Cut to them flying towards their destination.

Batman: BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!

Suddenly!

Superman: Hey, you guys going out to space to smile for the camera?!

We cut to Maxwell Lord in his office.

Assistant: Sir?

Maxwell Lord: What?! What is it now?!

Assistant: Your son is here.

Cue a brief shot of Maxwell Lord's son.

Maxwell Lord: This child is good.

Cue Maxwell ducking down... and pulling out Baby Yoda.

Maxwell Lord: But he could be better.

Baby Yoda: *baby noises*
