  1. Comic Book WI: Jack Kirby stays at Marvel

    For those who don't know, Jack Kirby is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book creators to ever live. His career started in the 1930s, but took off in 1940 when he, alongside writer-editor Joe Simon, co-created Captain America. During the 40s, he and Simon would collaborate several...

  2. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    So, how do people think the Internet, which, at the time of 9/11, was just starting to turn from the Web 1.0 scrappiness to the modern corporatized Web 2.0 hellscape we know and love(?), would be different?

  3. WI: A world without HIV?

    In this world, due to some twist of fate, the conditions we know as the human immunodeficiency viruses never manages to leave a small corner of West Africa before dying out. What are the results of this? What is the impact on LGBT rights, on culture in general, of this massively damaging disease...

  4. AHC: Disney/Nintendo team-up

    Disney and Nintendo, titans of family friendly entertainment with legions of adoring fans, but, ever since the disastrous live action Mario movie, the two have been on the outs. How would one foster a closer relationship between the two companies, and what may result?

  5. WI: Nixon loses 1968, but wins 1972

    Hm, true, and it would give me the best shot at what i'm hoping for here IE Nixon in office and, most likely, even MORE morally bankrupt and paranoid then he was IOTL.

  6. WI: Nixon loses 1968, but wins 1972

    Let's say that, in this timeline, due to whatever reason, perhaps earlier wins in Vietnam, perhaps the Southern Strategy failing to yield as much, or maybe just a less decisive Democrat primary, Nixon loses the 1968 Presidential election to Hubert H. Humphrey. He vows that he will leave politics...

  7. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    God, I really need to read this again. Sorry to rejoin this journey at the end.

  8. Pop Culture Sans Vietnam

    For the sake of a concrete POD, let's say around March 1965. Operation Rolling Thunder still commences, but LBJ decides against putting boots on the ground, instead sticking to the current policy of military "advisors" and slowly winding down the amount of US troops in the region over the next...

  9. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Ugh. I hate finally getting back in here right as it ends...Well, i've got some stuff to do, I guess.

  10. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    Meh. I generally enjoy both Todd and Lindsey's work, but I think that second video is too narrowly focused. Todd's speciality is Pop, and, like, it's true there wasn't much anti-Bush there, but there was tons of anti-Bush rock and hip hop and the like. And I think calling all the Punk artists...

  11. Video Game WI: The Dreamcast with a DVD Drive

    Bump. Anyone?

  12. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    Sure, but my point is that Moffat has said that was what inspired him to even consider doing a modern Holmes take.

  13. Video Game WI: The Dreamcast with a DVD Drive

    The year is 1997, and things are not great for Sega. The Saturn, despite dominating in Sega's native Japan, due to a series of bad decisions, sunk harder then the Titanic in America, falling like all others against the Playstation behemoth. Sega is making a new console, the Dreamcast. Based...

  14. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    It probably doesn't. I belive Moffat stated that the thing that made him want to do a modern Holmes adaptation was the realization that Watson's backstory of being a doctor who was injured in war in Afghanistan was suddenly completely plausible again.

  15. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    True. Yeah, but no clue what they'd be about. Possibly sticking to WWII, or maybe leaning more into full-on sci-fi?

  16. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    Indeed. The lack of the Muslim terrorist as a stock bad guy is likely to have butterflies. I wonder what takes its place...

  17. WI: Pop Culture in a world without 9/11?

    For a solid POD, let's say Clinton kills Bin Laden sometime around 1998. What does pop culture look like without the massive cultural shock of 9/11? Your thoughts?

  18. Green Revolution on the Golden Gate

    Just barely not an anachronistic reference.

  19. Green Revolution on the Golden Gate

    If this guy wins, I look forward to TTL news reporters continuing their hot streak of truly groan-worthy headline jokes.

  20. WI: Armed Forces Integration in WWII?

    IOTL, Executive Order 9981, abolishing discrimination on the basis on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin in the United States Armed Forces and leading the official end of segregation in same, was issued in 1948 by President Truman. What if, in a seemingly small change, FDR...
