Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

In universe I wonder what happened to one Hans Dietrich:
 
To anyone interested in my old Alternate History of Animated Films project, I'm thinking of making a Discord server for the current version if anyone wants to suggest ideas there. I'm constantly learning new things about animation history and constantly making new changes to the timeline.

Sure. Just go ahead and link it.

Would you need a Discord account to access it?
 
If the partnership between Nintendo and Sony on the SNES-CD didn't fall apart, would've a Nintendo-Sony-Microsoft partnership been plausible in the early 2000s?
 
Hey! I'm a new member of the forums, but I've been reading Alternate Histories for quite a while. I've started creating the timeline for my first one, and I just want to do an interest check for the idea. And also this is kinda blatant advertising.


Basically, in 1976, Lorne Michaels (The creator of SNL) offered the Beatles $3,000 if they came down to the studio and played 3 songs. Unbeknownst to him, John and Paul were in New York at the time. They thought about crashing the show, but decided against it.

In my timeline, I ask, what would've happened if they chose to crash the show, and the effects that has on pop culture.

Hey, it’s me again. I think I want a partner or two to help me on this. If you’re interested in expanding the timeline with me, DM me about it.
 
It's not necro.....

Not the purpose of my complaint. Bumping like they did is nearly always in bad form - if a question isn't answered, it means there hasn't been sufficient interest to answer it. Especially when it's only been a week, it's generally frowned upon to bump needlessly like that.
 
Curious if anyone knows of any timelines written where MGM is more successful from the 50s onwards (and not as a subsidiary to another company, but in its own right)?

Might need to do some research but is possible,maybe not over reliance in road show and absorbing united artists early would help a lot

As far as I know, MGM went through some less-than-ideal owners: Kirk Kerkorian (who was not as interested in movies as he was in resorts) and Giancarlo Paretti (a money swindler with Napleonic plans). So, there's that.

And the one PERFECT owner that they COULD HAVE had(emphasis on COULD HAVE), Ted Turner, had to sell the studio back after a few months because he got massive debt.

I discussed that idea, that if MGM casino fire was far deadlier, Turner could have bought it and keep it cheaper as long he pay up MGM debts too
 
Right, except how was he gonna do that?

And what fire?
That fire. Already one of the deadliest hotel fires in the US history.

Wasn't that also Kerkorian? Though, I'd say it wasn't the worst idea ever, especially in retrospect with what Parretti had in mind.
The one screw linked to, IIRC someone mentioned MGM was lucky it didn't become worse,It not only would have killed more people,could have fully burned the casino too,that was my pod ,a worse fire put MGM far worse and Turner is able to buy it out promising a good debt management (ie victims payment and keeping the studio rolling (

Without kerkorian, there's no casino so a plus but a cons too( that casino make a lot of money too(
