So. Secret Invasion. Given the relations between Europe and the USA in it, I'm inclined to believe that the USA of the MCU is very Patriotpunk-ish.

All three of them. Quantum, Spectre, and the latest one. They had their claws sunk in most major nations as well, but the UK managed to weather the storm the best thanks to Bond's actions, though Casino Royale and QoS imply the War on Terror of the 2000s still happened. Yeah it seems that...

After recently watching No Time to Die, I'm wondering what the implications are of the world in Craig Era Bondverse. Its obviously a world that's not too different from our own, other than the existence of Bond, but the UK is implied thoroughly to have much more world-wide influence, especially...

Yeah the Dent Act, was that Gotham-only or US-wide? If the latter, there's going to be major repercussions going straight to Capitol Hill after Bane's speech that'll be bigger than Gordon's resignation.

Dark Knight Trilogy. What are the repercussions of a major US City getting attacked several times right during the middle of the War on Terror? Does the League of Shadows get targeted as a terrorist organisation by US forces in the Middle East? What about the 2008 election? Dark Knight is set...

I mean if the US decides to directly antagonize the UK and France both, there's no reason why they couldn't turn to the Soviets either. It would basically be a restoration of the old Entente ties. I doubt you'd get things like Britain and France joining the Warsaw Pact, but more cooperation is...

Well that's a bit different than literally trying to keep the empire by force, an Anglo-French Bloc could've been a partner to the US, but not as heavily aligned. This will probably make the Cold War less intensive in Europe, since you're saying the UK and France would've willingly decolonized...

I mean, I'm not a fan of superstates personally, but a federal EU is one way you could keep the influence of Western Europe on par with that of the USSR and US. And then, if you have the UK become central to this EU to the point where its seen as a New British Empire much like in OTL a lot see...

The Suez Crisis favoring Britain still wouldn't have saved British influence on the world scale. European powers, as a whole, have been on the decline because of geography. The reason Russia has been an exception to this is because they maintained their equivalent of a settler colony in Siberia...

IMO, to have a lasting TERRITORIAL empire, like a recognized British nation the size of, say, Russia, China or the US you need a PoD that averts the American Revolution, and then have the British accept that North America's going to be the center of their empire and not the British Isles. Yeah...

The settler colonies, or 'white Dominions' such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand were. The problem is, many in Britain itself refused Imperial Federation and didn't want to budge on the whole 'British Isles above all', which like I said, has been an issue since the American Revolution...

Keeping the British Empire intact was more of an issue on the British themselves, and less so of the Americans. Imperial Federation could've kept British influence on a global level, but it was shut down because they didn't want to give 'the colonies' power over the metropole. Keep in mind that...

Depending on how far back Hitler had the films, its very likely that the Man in the High Castle version of Hitler is essentially a Machiavellian mastermind. Its very likely he could've done stuff like, back up a "Trotskyist plot" in the USSR, to cause it to fall to a civil war as Barbarossa is...

I think it could be explained that the 'Black Communist Rebellion' is a name the Japanese or Nazis gave to them, while their REAL name is probably New African Liberation Front or something. That said, seeing 'Greater Nazi Reich' plastered all over walls and posters in the scenery was jarring...

This isn't that eyebrow raising though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preussentum_und_Sozialismus is a thing, after all, since WW1.
