How would that differ from the OTL pop culture?
For instance, James Bond might be fighting pseudo-Nazis instead of pseudo-Soviets, and since most Axis victory scenarios will only have a European Axis win, Asian Axis powers are going to lose....
Perhaps instead of the Red Bamboo, it's the Swastika Bamboo!
Since I like Comics, I was speculating on the course of superhero comics...
Batman might well face supervillains of a more Nazi bent, and any Watchmen analogue would be much more dark, owing to the nature of the Nazi threat.
Superhero comics as a whole might become darker and grittier, and *Victor Von Doom might be an anti-hero as opposed to a villain IATL. Superman might become controversial due to his similarities to the Nazi archetype of the Ubermensch, which might lead to no Superman comics once PC hits, and a replacement with lower-powered heroes.
Villains of the Trigon-Galactus-Imperiex-Mephisto type may all show similarities with the Greater Germanic Empire, as it provides an obvious model. Galactus might well be a conquering Fuhrer of a large army, sort of a World-smashing version of Annihilus, while Trigon in DC Comics might be a large-scale threat, perhaps the DC version of Galactus. Imperiex would of course still be a Galactus rip-off.
There might also be a political edge to characters like Hellboy, Alexander Luthor Jr., or Raven, or Colossus or Red Star that doesn't exist IOTL. A demon fighting for good against his heritage might be politicized against Nazi racial doctrine, and a half-human like Raven would be sort of an antithesis of the society of Nazi Germany, where race-laws demanding purity would be firmly enforced, while Russians such as Colossus and Red Star might be propaganda creations to enforce the idea that Russians are humans, too.
How do you see things like this being used in Nazi-victory worlds?
