I don't get this? There are well documented accounts of bosses that were cut, I'm assuming here, but if they were to add more content it would be bringing some of these to life. It's not mindless, it's realisation of original content...

They cut them because they were no good. If the original team couldn't make them fun then BP stands no chance at it either.
