u/Arturosito

I think The Immortal Man had terrible writing, and it's like they just didn't care about the fans. It was very Game of Thrones final-like, and I can't understand why they couldn't make a better effort.

Therefore, I give you my perfect alternative The Immortal Man story:

Season 6 basically ended with Tommy being unable to overpower Edward Mosley or the Billy Boys. Unable to get revenge. Tommy was defeated for the very first time!

So the natural plot, what we all wanted, was for him to get revenge.

So check it out, Mosley is based on a real historical person, so, he can't get killed by Tommy. So, how do we proceed?

Also, Paul Anderson, the actor that plays Arthur, had deep drug and legal problems and was written off The Immortal Man movie.

But in my alternative universe, the studios do whatever they can to bring him to the film. His case can't be as bad as Edward Furlong's case.

Or if not, then just pay him to digitally place his face on another actor and make the scene brief.

Worst case scenario, just get an actor that looks like him and don't show his face.

So, he's drunk or drugged in a bar or somewhere, and the Billy Boys pay him a visit and kill him when he's defenseless. Maybe he puts on a fight and kills one of the Billy Boys before going down. This probably happens at night. If you can't get Paul Anderson back, maybe have Arthur killed cowardly from the back, and get it over with.

Now Tommy has a stronger reason to come back, because those of his family that are still alive, are now under real danger from the Billy Boys who want to take over The Peaky Blinder's business.

Make a worthy funeral for Arthur, and Tommy now wanting revenge and to protect his kind, gets back to action.

Ada and Lizzy are in the film, and they survive, but there are attempts by the Billy Boys to kill them.

Now we get a scene where we finally meet Billy, the leader of the Billy Boys. Get a good actor to play him. Have him talking about how Mosley wants to bring fake money coming from Germany and they're gonna help him doing so and make millions. --Yes, this alternative plot is using something from the actual movie plot.

Now have Duke all grown up, but don't have Barry Keoghan playing him. Instead, use the same actor as before: Conrad Khan, and don't give him daddy issues. He's as serious and mature as he was in the series, and he's going to be helping Tommy.

So they device a plan where they get all fake money destroyed and The Billy Boys killed. And have Duke facing Edward Mosley, making him fall into a trap, and the British authorities arresting Mosley. Maybe even have Winston Churchill again in the series congratulating Duke and thanking the Peaky Blinders.

And then, maybe have Billy, the leader of the Billy Boys killing Tommy, while driving the car, the same way as it happened in The Immortal Man, and Tommy killing him at the same time, because, just like in the actual film, Tommy wanted to die.

And so we have the same final scene with Tommy telling Duke that he's now the leader of the Peaky Blinders. Don't get Duke to shoot him. Tommy just dies from the gun wounds, and then keep Tommy's funeral the same, with the Wren song and the pretty cinematography. All the same, which was the only good thing about The Immortal Man.

And that's it, then if they continue the series with Duke, it will make sense and Duke will continue being a cool character that inherited Tommy's traits. Instead of being a bipolar, teen-like, daddy issues wuss as portrayed by Barry Keoghan (Don't get me wrong, I like Barry, but they ruined the character).

What do you think?
