Any ideas for some other folklore and such that could've made good Disney animated movies?

Just a random idea that occured to me as interesting. With a POD during the Cold War, have the United States and not the USSR ”collapse” in the same manner. Definition of collapse and what it would look like for the Western Bloc (ranging from no NATO to US balkanization) is up to the reader

Just listened. Was pretty good, then in the last minute they hit me with "wishing Israel luck against the terrorists & fascists invading their country". Just FYI so no one else gets whiplash and/or doesn't want to engage with these sorts of creators.

Well depressingly most of our OTL presidents are so old that they would already be pretty fully formed even by the big POD in the 1960s. We've got what, three or four Presidents who were all born in 1946? Really the first President who would have a radically different life because of the ATL...

Okay I finished it last night And WOW what a good season. Maybe my favorite since S1. Let’s play who gets arrested? I think Miles and Samantha are big targets. I agree Helios might be able to protect them, I just don’t know if Dev would stick his neck out for them. I guess it is a more positive...

Just finished Brazil, moving into the final episode. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

There's plenty of actors in modern history that make you ask - what could have been? Maybe they appeared to be very promising at first, but after one bad film were relegated to a smaller spot in Hollywood (e.g. - Brandon Routh). Or perhaps they were a well acclaimed actor who did died before...

Some MCU questions: What time period and which franchises would cause the most change in the MCU set up? For example, imagine they get back the rights to the X-Men in 2010. At that point they’re pretty well committed to at least one Avengers movie, but after that it’s a question mark. Between...

Would a surviving Ottoman Empire be possible with a post-1900 POD, or were the problems that led to it's downfall already too far advanced by that point? Kinda secondary and ignoring lots of butterflies - would the Ottomans be under the same decolonization pressure 1950s Europeans felt with...

Did not realize it was Friday and accidentally clicked some spoilers. Will probably be a few weeks before my friend and I get back together for the episode. Is it the finale? Or is there two left?

caught up again, really enjoying this season. Might be the best since S1! :)

So supposedly Canada didn’t join the M7. What are they doing instead?

Caught up to episode 6. Things are heating up and there are few good men on Mars. Based on nothing I shall predict McCain for S5 and Obama for S6

In honor of Aquaman 2 coming out, I had a random thought. Aquaman was one of the few DC heroes to survive through the end of the Golden Age. Would he remain more popular in a world where there was no Space Race? I'm wondering if the pre-Sputnik era was more fascinated with the deep sea than...

Is it just me or does the technological jump to reduce the Mars transfer window seem too fast? Do we even know how to do that IOTL? otherwise pretty good season so far. I agree Gore will be a one termer. Democrats seem to be pretty screwed ITTL which is ironic considering the political bent of...
