I covered Godzilla a bit. Some of the stuff I discussed with Jello is spoilers because Godzilla is a very heavily politically and culturally rooted series; so talking about Godzilla would spoil cold war politics. One thing I can discuss though is that King Ghidorah; being a symbol of China, is a friend of Godzilla. Instead his main rival is Nagzadrah; a many headed creature that combines the features of tigers, cobras, and elephants; a vengeful Hindu god who wishes to keep man in spiritual servitude rather than allow for humanity to grow past the need for gods like Nagzadrah. Godzilla remains essentially a symbol of nature, nuclear power, and America; while the Soviet Union will largely be consistently represented by Ursulev; part bear, part ankylosaur, part Zilant, all a symbol of the Japanese perception of the USSR as a brute force country. Japan itself remains largely represented by Mothra, though with the Shintoist elements toned down, perhaps the goddess even helping ensure the obsolescence of its own faith.

The FBU's stand in monster I'd figure would be some sort of alien creature; obviously cybernetic to represent the soulless capitalist money centered materialism of the Franco-British Union, with the lion and rooster both being aesthetic influences on it. Imperius is a likely name for it; and then you have Brazil which I'd figure to have a creature that draws on the Jaguar, Anaconda, and the features of plants in equal measure; Amazora is what I'd call it, created as a response to the foundation of a nuclear brazil with its origin being tied to a nuclear test in the amazon creating a monstrous hybrid creature.

Who does Gamera represent?

But seriously, Gamera came to be in 1965 during the time of the space race and the start of the cresting of the wave of the new left. He'll embody that really.

Hi everyone.

I'm considering contributing to the Reds! fan fic thread but I wanted to shoot this by you guys in case anyone else has any interest in maybe coming up with some ideas for it. One of the things that I'm surprised hasn't been brought up yet is a comics collective similar to All-Negro Comics from OTL.

I think there's quite a bit of alternate history that could be made from having an earlier attempt by Orrin Cromwell Evans to have an all African-American comic group actually succeed. An environment like the UASR would lend itself towards him not getting screwed over as he likely did OTL in never really getting it off the ground as racism is, at least de jure, verboten. I've got some ideas for heroes and heroines myself (one of the flagship superheroines being an ultra violent, gun toting mercenary named the Killing Crow, connected to an OTL character that I'm hoping to sort of spin off into their own thing here). Would anyone else be interested in helping build an ANC universe ala Marvel or DC? I suppose given the porous nature of copyright here it's likely they'll rub shoulders with other characters like Superman, etc. but still.

Speaking of that...

There's a lot of historical convergence I've noticed in this thread for things from OTL, and then reinterpreting them in the Reds! setting, but would it be alright to take something from OTL and make it its own thing? That is to say it shares a few basic ideas but is in many ways unrecognizable from its original source material.

I would personally love to see something like this. I say go for it!

Way back in this post, Jello mentions the English Defence League and Action Francaise as right-wing opposition.

I wonder what their history is like? (And it's interesting that Action Francaise is there, considering that it was historically a monarchist organization IOTL)

France itself is still a republic with the British monarch and the French president sharing the status of head of state. So French monarchism still has a place.

Also man am I going to confuse you and Mr.E constantly.

If French Monarchism is a thing, are they still split between Legitimists and Orleanists? Also if there room for a faction that supports putting the British Monarchy on the French throne?
