What would you include? More interactions? expanding characters? More action sequences? Some slapstick? Here are a few of mine:
More interaction between 1 and 7. They obviously butt heads on their philosophies, but we never actually see them talk to each other (other than "YOU COWARD!!!"). Might've helped the tension and later resolve between the two if their relationship had been built up more, though it was certainly implied well enough.
A flashback sequence with 1 and 2, perhaps when they first started out. They've obviously got very different ways of looking at the world around them...I thought it was unfortunate that we never actually saw the two interact, since they were never together in the film (aside from the war flashback).
More interactions with 8! Poor guy had nothing to do in the film.

Let's see...
MORE INTERACTION AND MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR EVERYBODY.
But especially between 1 and 2, 6 and EVERYBODY, 8 and EVERYBODY. I want an audience who doesn't necessarily look as deeply into subtle actions of characters to feel sorry for 8 when he dies. I want 6 to have more than FOUR LINES. I want to see 1 and 2 bickering like an old married couple in a flashback. Or at least see the exact circumstances of why 2 was kicked out of the Cathedral. That, and I want maybe a slight indication of where 6's visions come from. IS he an oracle? DID the Scientist tell him? Is he just NATURALLY crazy?
Oh, one other thing: I want to know if the large majority of the Stitchpunks KNEW about the Scientist aside from 1 and maybe 2. That's never really addressed and has always bugged me.
AND ANOTHER THING. Shane, I love your use of literary elements, but I want 6's key to friggin' have importance! Let it go to the box like it did in the deleted scene.

Something about the Scientist and how he interacted a bit more with his creations 1-8? I don't think we should have to look online to get the entire picture in the movie :/

I definetly agree with you on the flashback with 1 and 2. It would've been nice to see how they used to be together. Then again, the lack of interaction between those two open the possibility for a prequel.
More screentime for 2, 8, and 6. We get that 2 is a kindly old grandpa figure, but then he gets kidnapped and then he gets killed. It seems like 9 just met him and he already wants to save him. Random, no? I mean, 2 could've been the real evil behind the machines for all we know after seeing him for three minutes. 8 just seemed like a bully and nothing more. It disapointed me when he just died. I kinda thought we'd get some sarcastic humor from him judging by the "He warned you." line in that one clip, but that's the only humor we get from him aside from the magnet scene. 6 only has four lines, so I question why the role of 6 got me obsessed with Crispin Glover. He was cute and crazy, but the fact that he doesn't get much screentime ruins him for me. I don't see why all those deleted scenes that gave him more screentime and made him more likeable had to be taken out of the movie. We shouldn't have to watch the deleted scenes to figure out a character's personality, we should get all the information we need in the movie! You could also say the twins needed more developement, but I honetly don't give a crap about the twins.
I would've liked to see 1 and 8 talking to each other, 1 getting things off his chest, 8 having more lines, 1 talking about how things used to be, 8 having more lines, 8 having a little interaction with the other characters and 8 HAVING MORE LINES! They made poor 8 look like a useless character and a dumbass.

1 and 2 need some screentime together. Seriously. Same with 1 and 7. I just wanna see more relationships! And 6 and 8 would also be an interesting one. Same with 7 and the twins. What drove them to leave? I always thought that 1 had a thing for 7 and it kind of got like a Frollo/Esmerelda relationship, causing 7 to leave, but that's another story. Pretty much, I just wanna see more character interactions.
