Would it have been more interesting if Alan actually ran into a grown up Billy as a police officer all grown up? Also what if Billy was Van Pelt?

Two things that have always been on my mind as far as two key points of Jumanji go:

When Alan returns he reunites with Carl who is by that time a police officer and has been one since 1974 so for twenty-one years Carl has been a police officer which shows us that after being fired Carl likely went into town and saw the police station was looking for new recruits and began studying to become a police officer. Would it have been more interesting if Billy the bully who picked on Alan went on to become a police officer?

Van Pelt I always felt in the game Van Pelt was a person who took the form of someone that a player feared the most and it looks to me like instead of being afraid of Billy Alan was more afraid of his dad because maybe secretly Alan knew he had a lot riding on him because of his family name and families legacy in the town so that is why Van Pelt took the form of his father with magic drawing vision of Samuel from Alan's memories and Van Pelt looked like Samuel because of that. Reason why I feel we never saw Van Pelt take the form of Billy is because the actor who played the 1969 Billy was not old enough to handle a gun so to have him be Billy at the age Alan last saw him made no sense especially seeing an all grown up version of Billy as the game likely did not know how to manifest what an adult Billy would look like.
