Out of curiosity, would you be interested in a game where the Malicant plot is resolved overall (though perhaps not permanently) and then a new conflict/villain was introduced? A situation or villain which focused less on being ~more evil~ and on a different style of conflict. IE how no one will probs be more buff than Bane, but the Riddler is still as challenging a villain (Batman reference?); the conflict might be with the kedan instead of Malicant, for example.

Honestly randomly asking as a player to try to get a better feel, myself, for what peeps are interested in.
