What if the Traveler is the villain?

I'd like that. But not up front.

Make us respect the Traveler, believe in the Traveler, worship the Traveler and then have him/her/it turn out to be the bad guy all along, the one that ended humanity's Golden Age. And even better if it turns out that all we're doing is making it worse for humanity.

That would be cool, IMO. But I don't think any sane publisher would allow that on such a grand scale of marketing.

I'm still getting over that The Tourist actually did it, for example. I thought "hey, you know what would be cool? If he really was the guy.". And then I laughed, because no way they would do that on such a big budget. And then they did.

So yeah, I would love if they did that. It's about time we get shaken up hard.
