This is a vast overstatement. A significant number of people also don't like Return of the Jedi and one might notice it's easily the least homaged film of the original trilogy. A lot of people will tell you many of the same problems bugging the prequels began with Jedi. This is coming from...

Cthulhu Mythos is one of the best ideas, because it was really something that intended as an open sandbox. I think a lot of people are still thinking in terms of in-universe story potential but not necessarily in terms of real-life 'franchise potential'. Some companies and authors don't like...

It's important to acknowledge how Clinton is killed will make a big difference in how much political capital Gore might be awarded/afforded upon ascending. I don't expect a national tragedy fervor to occur, but it could give Gore some leeway. As mentioned, I think Gore avoids some of Clinton's...

Star Trek and Doctor Who both have extended multiverses, but a key difference is that both franchises openly told people the spin-off material was secondary to the main franchise, and the fact they both ran more as television series and serials made these contractions much more likely to appear...

The 'Sixth Year Curse' is also an alternate name for the 'Second Term' curse, so you have a point. For reference, because I did this for a TL test, election years would be: 1920, 1926, 1932, 1938, 1944, 1950, 1956, 1962, 1968, 1974, 1980, 1986, 1992, 1998, 2004, 2010, 2016, 2022.

I'm shamelessly crawling Gov. McNutt's recent posts, and I'm gonna bite a creative PoD. Georgia has a different Governor who could go places, worth noting. Ultimately, the '76 primaries were not about personalities - there were simply too many liberals gunning and relatively few moderates, and...

I don't think these two would challenge each other. JFK, Jr. wasn't an airhead but he was more of the kind of person to flirt with this sort of thing than to settle down, and it's very obviously worth noting New York is a pretty internally competitive state. I don't think he was interested in...

The original post suggests a different president in 1912 could change the result - but who? William Jennings Bryan again? I do love the nice, fine details about the 1926 election though. A mild personal story, but as a kid, it used to confuse the hell out of me there was discussion about the...

Solid update. Looking forward to more.

Trump winning and then fucking up New York so bad people are literally begging him not to run for President would be slightly preferable to our current situation. Slightly!

In the unlikely event Clinton ends up in jail over it... either Gore loses forty-nine states because Clinton must've fucked up so hilariously bad, or the public is so much more sympathetic to Clinton that they vote for Gore in troves.

I didn't follow up on it because nobody was else interested in it at the time and thought someone else could pick it up since Indiana Jones isn't my forte. I worked under the assumption the prequels would not happen as a result of Lucas' death, which was the entire point of killing him. All...

You're very wrong. You've made Huckabee at least somewhat human and somewhat sympathetic, even if the reader disagrees with his positions. Donald isn't the latter, and possibly not even the former.

Mixed levels of truth. My understanding is that they always had trouble with her, but initially kept it grounded looking for something to stick, until they discovered most members of the target demographic at the time found her annoying and disliked her. So, they sort of ran with that, and it...

Good start and looking forward to more. As this board's foremost South Park expert, I enjoy the Kenny comparison and find it fitting. Nobody in the Post-1900 Vanilla forum is going to be coming back from the dead, and Kenny's more famous for his many on-screen deaths than many off-screen births.

Short run no, long run... probably not, but I'm going throw out a 'maybe' anyway. I don't think that Gore would end up becoming involved in Iraq, but I could see a situation arise akin to the current rhetorical situations with Iran, Syria and North Korea, with Gore often discussing the...

I think I made a similar topic a few years ago - and I believe it was slightly more civil and respectful than this one. Kudos to Emperor Norton for a very profound post. As someone who specializes in adult animation... Family Guy is cancelled and Animation Domination never really exists in the...

Create a situation where freedom of religion is threatened on a significant scale - a world where no individual of any faith feels free to express that. It sounds alien in our reality, and that's because it's difficult to create a historical situation where outright anti-theism dominates the...

A good start. Curious to see what path you take from here.

Subscribed -- excited to see where you take this, especially down the line as the butterflies become more apparent. Nixon's an enigmatic, iconic and fascinating figure, but that's exactly what makes a timeline like this so interesting.
