  1. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I think the Super Mario movie of 1993 could actually be about half-fixed with only a few changes. -The writers either need to take the movie seriously or go into the film knowing it's a giant walking parody. There are good moments of each but these moments come off as contrasting instead of...
  2. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    In Ireland, Sean MacBride founded Clann na Poblachta (Family/Children of the Republic) in July 1946. (1) It attracted support from Fianna Fail and the left wing of the Labour Party, dissatisfied with the coalition with Fine Gael. A general election was held in Ireland on Wednesday 2...
  3. [Query] Successful Ottomanization or Turkification of Greece?

    See above. Was it possible at any point that the entirety of modern Greece be assimilated into an Ottoman or Turkic identity? The concept of Rumelia extending southwards, Greeks identifying as 'Rum' rather than recreating a Hellenistic identity, etc...?
  4. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    That is quite the conundrum there Alex. So how can we transform the local farmer with little training into an industrial worker without venturing into ASB territory? In ASB I'd be looking into stimulating decentralised industry - preferably for for the agricultural and transport/logistics...

    Bri ish
  6. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    So The Lone Ranger now potentially qualifies as 'woke' in this context? Not exactly the most progressive of series, even if the two protagonists are constantly calling 'idiot' (tanto) and 'he who peeks (from behind a mask; kemo sabe). Without a plot we're not really talking movie...
  7. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Investment, Management, Quality Control and get the unions under control. The same basic problems as the rest of the British automotive industry, be it bikes, cars or lorries.
  8. What if Henry VIII had been better prepared to be King?

    I'm actually more intrigued by what would happen if Henry became in 1509 completely unprepared.. Imagine this shitshow. Henry VII rolls into 1509 knowing the end is near, but Arthur is still alive and better yet, Catherine is pregnant. Henry is content. Meanwhile, Henry, Duke of York, is...

    WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    Let's suppose for a moment that, in the spring of 1536, after Anne Boleyn has 'miscarried of her saviour', the Duke of Norfolk hatches a plan to keep the Howards close to the royal family. He orders his daughter Mary to consummate her marriage to Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond. No one expects...

    A New Millennium

    Chapter III: The First King At the battle of Clontarf in 1014 Brian Boru had won a great victory against the Leinstermen and Norse, but at a heavy cost. While he still held onto his life and most of his army, two of his sons and one grandson, Conchobar, Donnchadh and Toirdelbach, died in...
  11. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    My father owned and rode a Norton Commando until his death. He always said that Norton's were made of fantastic parts that unfortunately never really seemed to fit together quite right :D

    A Different End to the Spanish American War

    They just decided to reconcile with him so that they have a better chance against the Americans plus the fact that he can unite with Visayas and Mindanao, having him executed or not return scraps the support the Katipunan had on Visayas and Mindanao and their revolts go on their own, I think if...
  13. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Gibiate (2020) Any avid anime watcher knows that it had a very wacky premise (samurai sent to Modern Japan in an apocalypse) with absolutely god-awful execution (for example, shotguns are not supposed to work like that) but we can change it up a bit. First up, the animation. Good lord, it...

    The Eagle of the East, Rhomania: An Eastern Roman Timeline (1196 - 1245)

    Venice itself within the TL is still a rather arrogant power, even after being humbled. The fact that they recovered so quickly under the astute leadership of Pietro Ziani only perpetuated this. Notably, the reason Maso acted the way he did is simple Human nature. He was forced to wait a full...
  15. Henry the Young King lives, but what happens to Aquitaine?

    I’m not sure, geoffreys death seems like a freak accident
  16. AHC Crusader States survive longer

    I suspect not more than how they treat other Christian denominations in their territory, but then again,neither would it be any worse than how they are already living under the Muslims.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I haven't seen the film myself so I can't say one way or another but why do you say it's Japanese propaganda?
  18. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    It wasn't suggested his woes were connected to Watergate, but that Agnew is investigated as part of the Watergate investigation and the separate bribery/kickbacks uncovered at the same time. Even if Nixon resigns, and Agnew leads the ticket regardless of investigation, any candidate would be...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Your right about the technical limitations of the time. I'm not suggesting they could launch a precision attack, like we do today. I only brought up the radar as a back up system. I was envisioning a classic carpet bombing, that would kill lots of prisoners, but also kill a lot of the camp...
  20. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    A bit late so apologies. I am pleased to have inspired such a wonderful update. Great fun. I knew there was a reason I liked Card Walker, though it is clear he and I are in an utter minority in this thread.
