Okay, so if you could pick one protagonist and replace them, who would it be, why, and who would you replace them with?

Crowfeather. I'd replace him with Gorsepaw, who would be Gorseheart in TNP. I really hated that he dies. I think he would have had a healthy relationship with everyone, and maybe could've been the actual 3's father that wasn't a bitter old grump.
I also would've given him a POV in TNP. Idk he had so much potential and they just...killed him.

Look, I really love Frostpaw, donโt get me wrong, but I think she should be replaced by one of her siblings. Why? Because the โtraumatisedโ role is handed to the med cats too often. Shadowsight and Frostpaw are my babies, but I donโt want that trope being over used too much, especially how she gets attacked and everything.
Also itโs funny to me how Sunbeam was such a background character who like suddenly got a personality. Like why did you choose her Erins

Replace Lionblaze for Flametail FE, delete him for TFA and NW, then bring him back in the last three OotS books for the Hollyleaf comes back/fourth cat storyline.

Referring to my last reply, OotS would benefit so much from a TNP-style of protag switching.
TFA- Jayfeather, Dovepaw FE- Jayfeather, Ivypaw, Flametail NW- Jayfeather, Dovepaw, Flametail SotM- Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Ivypool TFW- Lionblaze, Dovewing, Ivypool TLH- Jayfeather, Dovewing, Ivypool, Lionblaze
Same with AVoS.
TAQ- Alderpaw, Needlepaw TaS- Twigpaw, Violetpaw SS- Alderheart, Violetpaw DN- Twigpaw, Violetpaw, RoF- Alderheart, Twigpaw TRS- Twigbranch, Violetshine

Brambleclaw. I would replace his PoV and storyline about training in cat hell with his evil dad and brother from TNP with Tawnypelt taking on that role instead.
I just think it would have been more fitting for her as a character rather than her brother who had already publicially rejected their father and also distrusted Hawkfrost in the first half of TNP only to turn around in the second half which just did not make much sense from a writing perspective. Granted, Tawnypelt also wanted nothing to do with Tigerstar at the end of TNP.
But I do feel like it could've still worked better than with Brambleclaw. Have her show more complicated feelings towards their father during TNP, admiring his strength while also being aware of his ruthless and cruel nature, then have him invite her to train with him and Hawkfrost (make her distrust her new half-brother though and let the feeling be mutual like it kinda seemed to be in canon with these two), make her realize in the end that she never needed his training to be a loyal ShadowClan warrior because she already was one and then still have her name one of her kits after Tigerstar to reclaim the name and piss him off because Tigerheart is ginger now and Tigerstar just hates gingers because of Firestar (basically swap Tigerheart's design with Flametail's for fun).
Just spitballing some ideas here.

Replace Brambleclaw with Tawnypelt. I also wouldโve liked to see Needletail as a protagonist.

Said this before but Nightheart. His plot would've suited Sparkpelt or Finchlight way more because they actually have orange in their fur so being named after Firestar would make more sense, meaning that they'd feel more pressure than Nightheart would. It made absolutely no sense for him to get that storyline.

Ivypaw/pool with Breezepelt. Ivypool was just annoying to me and in general feel like her reason to join was wayyy too forced and I don't understand it in general. Would be so interesting to see things happen directly from Breezepelt, his conflict with his parents n stuff. Stormfur with Crowpaw. Stormfur's chapters were just forgettable in general, it was useless and the squirrelpaw crush plot was weird. Crowpaw's angsty chapters would have been great. I can't even explain why it would just be so much more fun

tollfarok really hit the nail on the head, definitely those two. And, like other people have said, it would've been better if Brambleclaw's pov and character arc had been switched with Tawnypelt.

Swtich Squirrelflight and Leafpool so LeafCrow actually gets some development instead of the two falling head over heels for each other for no reason.

Nightheart with Finchlight. There's several reasons for this but I think the one the wcrpforums would be most receptive to is that we wouldn't have to have so much angst solely based on repeating "b-but no orange tho"

Probably Rootspring, I'd replace him with Tree. Rootspring had such a strong start in the first two books but his whole arc revolving around romance really didn't do it for me. Tree has the same ghost abilities and on top of that is the mediator, and seeing his whole perspective about the events of TBC would have been much more satisfying. Wish he was more of a supporting character, since that's what he felt like to me anyway.
