Maybe he's referring to the 1979 Rev Brown Captain America.
I am agaisnt Ted turner buying out MgM and Hanbara because that has been down in real life for both and in the case of mgm in the orginal american magic two. I feel that jim henson should buyout hanbara and that mgm should be bought out by viacom time, hearst, the metromedia westing consturiy waren buffet coke or captial cites
I was thinking Turner could still buy HB(Just a few years earlier than OTL) and then buy out WB with (Insert billionaire) helping.
I am still agisnt him buying out hanbara. I am even more agisnt him buying out warner brothers. The current parent of warner of is motown. In otl motwn records was the largest indpenet afiracn american found company untill it was bought bout by boston ventueres in 1988. I like the idea of warne parnet company being motown untill atlest 2010
Pretty much what I had in mind, plus IMO if you were to take out the silliness in Moore's final films then you'll find two good films screaming to get out in which Dalton would help for them.
I know OTL Goldeneye touches on Bond after the Cold War, License to Kill, but having one that makes this important to the plot would be quite cool angle to give it. Wonder if it'll get it's original title here as planned?
We could also have Remington Steele remain cancelled after 1986 just in case.
Yes please! Remington Steele final season sucked. Only thing it came out that was good in OTL was Timothy Dalton finally did a James Bond movie. Heck he got two out of it before issues came up that pretty much ended his time as Bond.
If Turner buys a cartoon studio, it might take place if the Danjaq/Williams venture falls apart. There are already cracks forming with the CS Lewis estate unwilling to license the other Narnia books till after they see Wardrobe.

1. Yes, Captain America is in development for a 1981 release. Still in the script phase though.
2. Most likely he takes over the Disney company by Fall '84.
3. Most likely Grand Diamond unless you have someone else in mind.
4. Nintendo will likely thrive independently.
So, what will happen to the original Walt? I mean, seeing him have a son is a net gain already compared to IOTL, but has he even begun to prepare for his retirement?
First, before Walt, Sr. even begins to plan his retirement, there are a couple things...
- A bitter power struggle has taken place on the board of directors. Ron Miller is on one side and the other is stacked with Roy E., Walt Jr and Frank Wells.
- A peaceful transition of power between Senior and Junior still hasn't been settled on yet.
- On the silver screen, the flagship Disney brand has kinda hit the skids with these play-it-safe live action comedies that Ron Miller had been churning out. At the same time, the relationships Junior has built w/ Mel Brooks and the Pythons have been confined to the Fox division.
- Even as home video is still in its infancy at this point, Ron is still reluctant to let the so-called Untouchables be released to tape while Junior already sees things starting to change with the launch of MCA's DiscoVision format, of which Disney is a third-party partner.
- Even while retired, Walt Sr. might still pop up on the anthology series.
