Hey AHers, what's your personal pop culture utopia timeline? By this I mean every thing in pop culture works out well for you, the shows that disappointed you don't disappoint you, your favorite ship(as long as it makes sense, no crackships) becomes canon or at least has more acceptance in the fandom, the shows that you didn't want to get cancelled stay on air.
Here's mine:
* Someone else that is willing to stand up to Lucas directs the Prequels or at least the people that he approached initially accepts to direct the Prequels, Lucas dosen't have to die, Clone Wars shows he is at least effective as an ideas guy even if he can't really write.
* Twilight never exists, this has two benefits. One is that dystopian literature never goes Young Adult Romance and focuses more on the dystopia elements, another is that there is no 50 Shades of Grey
* EA either never buys Bioware or never exerts too much control over them
* Greg Wiseman gets third season of Gargoyles written as he would envision it
* More support for Kylo Ren redemption by the SW fandom, maybe he is portrayed more sympathetically in the ST
* In relation to the above, if Disney still buys Star Wars, Clone Wars has a longer Season 6 on Netflix(full 20 eps) and a 2 hour movie based on siege of mandalore to wrap things up. Also Legends is allowed to exist alongsides Canon, even through the latter may be more promoted. EA never gets the SW licence
* GRRM finishes ASOIAF much earlier, dosen't have his schedule issues, and the final book or at least Winds of Winter I will admit I am more of a shows guy, but it might take out some of the more glaring differences in the show if they have more to work on
* Jack Thompson being defeated over his insane anti-gaming crusade not only leads to a refutation of the idea that games causes violence, but also greater refutation of the "fiction influences reality" argument(or at least the part of the argument that states that fiction creates mass shooters and girls looking for unhealthy relationships if gone awry)
* Sym-Biotic Titan never gets canned
* Book 2 of Korra is much more well written
* KOTOR 2 is released with full content, no need for the mod
* KOTOR 3 gets made with Revan and the Exile take more of a center role, but with plot elements from SWTOR, I actually loved SWTOR, Revan arc aside, but it would have been much better as a single player game that builds off on the plot of the single player games.
* Young Justice dosen't get it's initial cancellation
* Not sure if this can be considered pop culture but gamergate never happens
* If smart devices becomes a thing in this world, then it dosen't become oversaturated with p2w games, if p2w has to happen, make it that a lot of the rewards from premium purchases are inflated, but costs less to purchase
