Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

So I've been wanting to do a music tl for a while now and I really want to make it. The problem is that its PoD is morbid and might turn some people off. I'm going to discuss it in a spoiler.

Mark David Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon, had a whole list of potential victims. #1 was Lennon and #2 was David Bowie. ITTL, it's reversed and Bowie gets shot.

I haven't decided much on this timeline, but here are some things I want to talk about:

  1. A Beatles Reunion resulting in a very hit-and-miss album
  2. Alternate versions of Under Pressure and Labyrinth
  3. Punk, hip hop, and metal going different ways
  4. A different launch of MTV

So if you would like to see this tl, let me know. Feel free to DM me about it, too. I'd love to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

YES PLEASE!
 
I just started this one:

 
Spielberg actually did almost get to direct Phantom Menace, as Lucas was very hesitant to direct any more films himself after the first Star Wars almost killed him.
Actually I think that was ROTJ, but then Lucas had to resign from the directors guild due to a dispute and that was the end of that.
 
Honestly?

I have no desire to analysis what a living and grieving parent might have done differently if they didn’t suffer through a tragedy if the point is to make a better fucking superhero movie.
