One small item that will have a strange ripple effect in the ATL is the absence of Gojira, King of the Monsters (1954). Gojira a.k.a. Godzilla was created in 1954 as a direct reaction to the atomic bomb. Many of the scenes in the uncut Japanese version in 1954 used footage from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings. This also means no mainstream distribution of Japanese manga in the 1960s, with the appearence of cartoons like Kimba, the White Lion, Astro Boy, Gigantor, et al. This also means fewer Japanese films such as The Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa being given major American release. This suddenly removes American Westerns such as The Magnificent Seven in the 1960s, Italian "spaghetti Westerns" such as The Good, the Bad & the Ugly directed by Sergio Leone. This also prevents George Lucas from creating the Star Wars franchise, without the presence of The Hidden Fortress and The Seven Samurai. This creates a pop culture scene that would be drastically different from OTL....
