I just watched Top Gun last night.
What would a KR version of this movie be like?
What would a KR version of this movie be like?
Maybe Maverick's a minor noble from the German Empire, he'd basically be a Red Baron mk. II, unless there was one during the Weltkrieg.
It's always kinda captivated me that if Metropolis and RUR had been adapted into the same property you'd basically have Blade Runner 50 years early 😅
The Original was not successful, in fact it brought UFA in financial problems in 1927.
UFA Management start to cut down the Movie from 153 minutes to 117 minutes,
like wise Paramount in USA, who mutilate the movie further to even 84 minutes, cutting out important plot point of movie.
Fritz Lang Labels after this, Metropolis as non existing movie...
For next 34 years the movie fall into oblivion, until 1961 Soviets cinema historians start watch looted Filmarchiv of UFA
and found Metropolis and start it reconstruction
in 1984 Giorgio Moroder adapt Metropolis and recut the movie to 87 minutes and put new modern music
Critics label this version as "musicvideo for MTV generation" but it was most successful version of Metropolis!
in mean time the reconstruction of Metropolis progress, today 143 minutes of original are found
But with AI Technology the damage and missing parts can be reconstructed. see Videos below
In Kaiserreich something similar will happen, here German cinema historians start search the Filmarchiv of UFA,
Find Metropolis and start it reconstruction
with Hype about rediscovery UFA Management could restore the movie, dubbing it and give new soundtrack.
maybe making finally a success ...
trailer of latest version
Now what AI can do: 4K, 60fps Colorized

I thought there was a flavour event where Metropolis was a huge hit in the German Empire
It had lowest viewer number in history of German cinema.
Follow by wicked criticism in newspapers,
It was financial fiasco for UFA in 1927, that Alfred Hugenberg bought the company,
Then they pull the 153 min version out cinemas and destroy the first copies !
by cut it down to 117 min and release the Movie three months later, with same results...
then the movie fall into oblivion, until rediscovery in 1960s
becoming a cult movie and today consider as one of most important Movie in cinema history
become inspiration for other movies...

Any ideas what a video game like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Civilization: Beyond Earth might be like in a KR setting?
This assumes Stephen Hillenberg would even been born in the first place...
Ok, I’m really glade I found this place, but it says in the first post that this is a place for all pop culture including books, but I haven’t really seen any books posted in here in the few pages I looked through, so I thought I’d post some of my creations here. Now, some of you may have seen these posted on Reddit, that’s me, I made them, I’m not stealing them off the sub lol. Anyways, hope this actually fits here, also each one of this posts takes place in a separate universe from a separate play through. Just in case any of you gets confused.

Buffalo soldiers is a book about some of the unsung heroes of the 2ACW (in a world where Long won in this particular case). The 2ACW is considered by many to be the forgotten world war due to the sheer amount of foreign actors that participated in it, from German air force testing out new fighters, Russian tanks, even some Egyptian mechanised units, and of course the titular heroes of this particular book, the Mittleafrikan askaris who were thrown into this conflict by Statthalter Goering without really knowing, who, why or where they were fighting.
this particular image on the cover was taken next to the destroyed Lincoln memorial right after the end of the battle for DC, the Askaris showed noticeable bravery and fearlessness in this battle where they were placed on the frontline to take the brunt of the casualties during the initial charge on DC by their Silver Legion handlers.
The Askaris were subject to a lot of abuse by certain elements of Long’s army, specifically by silver legion officers, but still, by the end of the war a not insignificant number of Mittleafrika Askaris had deserted from the army, choosing instead to stay behind in the US, away from Goering and his oppressive regime, with most of them choosing to settle in the west where anti-Longist sentiment was high and the reach of the Silver legion and Klan was low, in fact the now famous “kleines Afrika” neighbourhood of LA was originally started by a group of Askaris that settled there after they took part in the Battle for LA.
——————————————————————————
This is from a different world where due to some shenanigans and just in time American intervention, the Entente lost the “Twilight Struggle” against the 3I, but Canada was spared a Syndicalist invasion (Italy, Nat France and Iberia weren’t so lucky), the monarchy as expected did not survive the war, it was officially abolished in 1948 mere days before the signing of the Washington Peace Treaty that would put an end to the Entente-Internationale war.
Anyways, Elizabeth Windsor, the last princess of the British Empire (or at least the most prominent one), would - unlike most of her kin who chose exile in Australasia - move to the US after the abolishment of the monarchy where she would quickly become a socialite and media darling, frequently running elbows with the American elites.
She would pen her memoirs in the late 50s giving what is to her credit a very honest and in detail account of her life in Canada during the war, the brief and some would say disastrous rule of her Uncle Edward followed by the equally disastrous rule of her uncle Henry and finally, the abolishment of the monarchy and the Windsors’ unofficial exile from Canada (with a respectable amount of money in compensation for the nationalising of their “crown holdings”).
the book proved an instant hit, with a movie deal being signed soon after, Elizabeth or “lilibet” as she came to be affectionally called by the US media style of writing and her open discussion of all her feeling and all the events of the war from the hatred she felt towards her uncles for their perceived failure, to her fear and uncertainty she felt once kicked out Canada to many other intimate moments that she wrote about helped catapult the book into the best seller spot world wide, even within the UoB itself. It also helped cement Lizzy’s status as a celebrity and writer and also something of a feminist icon.
——————————————————————————
And finally, not a book but this is a front page of a media streaming service in the URSAL, which is a union of Socialist Latin American Republics.
You see in this world although the 3I won the Weltkreig against Germany, they still ended up losing the Twilight struggle against the Entente thanks to the intervention of the American Caesar himself.
With the end of the 3I in Europe however, came the rise of Syndicalism in South America thanks to the Union of Brazil and the Patagonian free territories going ham and “liberating” the grand majority of Latin America.
These are what I imagined some of the movies created in the URSAL would be like. You’ll notice that a few of those movies seem to be made by Europeans, that’s mainly thanks to the constant trickle of exiles from the British empire and the USA, a major example of them is Daniel Craig, a British born actor who fled the Empire for the URSAL after being questioned by the British authorities due to him holding “hidden sympathies” towards syndicalism. He was able to successfully relaunch his acting career in his new chosen home of Brazil, with his “Man from UNCLE” movie series being among the most popular.
This is the same streaming service but this time of it was created in the US instead of the URSAL. This is a US that was run by the American Caesar until his death, in the decades since the US has seen a degree of democratisation and liberalisation, although nowhere near as close as to IRL, the civil rights movement never happened like it did irl, instead it was a lot slower and a lot more painful, so race relations in the US are at an all time low. Big Mac also unshackled the military when he couped a democratically elected government, so now the Military has a lot of “oversight” authority over the government

Originally a book cover, but now that I think about it it would also work very well as a Documentary movie poster. Every Man a king tells the tale of America post Longist victory.
Although the Long dynasty are no longer the hereditary rulers of the US since the death of Earl Long, the Longs, and the “Longist thought” in general continue to dominate the America First Party and the American political scene as a whole. Long’s brand of pseudo-socialist, authoritarian populism has kind of become the “default setting” for American politicians, with the liberal democratic policies of parties like the Farmer Labour and the progressive democrats being viewed as a relic of a bygone and failed system that almost brought America to ruin.
——————————————————————————
Now we leave the world where long prevailed and enter the “cursed ending of the 2ACW, a Pelley victory.
Set in a world where the Commonwealth actually makes it to our modern times in one way or another. “Mine eyes have seen the glory” is a docu-series in the vein of those vice docus filmed inside North Korea.
Filmed by an Australian crew It depicts the normal everyday life of average American within the oppressive Commonwealth, showcasing the horrible human rights violation, the subjugation of minorities and women and the rampant corruption that reigns supreme within the Silver Legion.
Of course the movie is banned within the commonwealth, chances are the grand majority of the American people don’t even know of the movie’s existence and continue going through their lives without ever knowing just how horrible they have it.
——————————————————————————
This is from a world where Pelley did form the commonwealth, but it only reigned for 9-10 years before getting overthrown by internal and external forces.
Depicting the last known image of a living Huey Long, being “escorted” by silver shirts to a meeting with Silver Legion leadership, a meeting that he will never actually leave alive.
This book talks about the America that could’ve been had Huey not been betrayed. As expected it’s a pretty biased depiction of Huey and his legacy and actions, depicting him as a well meaning all American hero who could’ve turned the US into a progressive utopia if it wasn’t for Pelley and the Legion.
—————
Part one of a Pelley biography, this depicts Pelley’s early years, from his birth, to the Civil War and finally to the fateful day he ordered the attack on Canada, an attack that would eventually lead to the fall of his commonwealth and the final balkanisation of the United States of America.
A still from the Prussian movie “Kriegshammer: Der Aufstieg von König Sigmar”. Based on a game/universe created by a UoB Miniature games company, the rights to the game were bought by a minor Prussian movie studio that created the very first Kreigshammer movie.
The movie depicts an imaginary, vaguely Germanic king who goes on to fight the “forces of chaos and corruption” that threaten his kingdom armed with only his trust warhammer, Devine providence and a small army of incredibly loyal, professional and driven troops.
Although the king as originally written by the artist more closely depicted an Arthurian king, the Prussian game studio instead made him closer to a mix of a Germanic war chief and an ideal version of Prussian/German emperor.
The movie quickly became a cult classic dominating the markets in Prussia, then the rest of the Eurasian Union (Moscow accord) and after a few minor edits, dominating the 3I blockbuster lists, but failing to achieve anything more than cult statues in the US and Asia.
It helped launch the careers of its star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who went on to become the German Speaking world’s premier action star for the 80s and most of the 90s. As well as propel the movie studio that made it from a small time indie studio into a major force in the European entertainment industry. It also helped launch a string of spin-offs, sequels and remakes.
—————————
The most successful spinoff of the Kreigshammer sage, the cult movie of “Kreigshammer 40K: Der Tyrannidenkrieg”.
A joint Prussian/American production with stars from both countries. It is set vaguely within the same universe as the original Kreigshammer but thousands of years in the future. Terra has been United under the imperial Cult of Sigmar, humanity is beset on every side by enemies, from chaos demons, Texan cowboy Orks, the Syndicalist Tau and corruption within the Imperial cult itself.
The movie was a major success and quickly gained cult status across the world, it’s classic intro of “In der grimmigen Dunkelheit der fernen Zukunft gibt es nur Krieg.”, and the catchphrase “Blut für den Blutgott” both entered the global pop-culture and insure to this day as popular quotes/memes on the internet, and the two headed eagle and skull motives of the “Imperial Guardsmen” depicted in the movie have also become become popular unofficial patches/mascots for several military, police and paramilitary organisations across the world.
Lately the movie has gotten criticism as “militarist/right wing porn” and the ultimate “male power fantasy”, but such criticisms did little if anything to diminish the movie’s cult status or popularity among young men online.
