My question is... is Watchmen, the premier graphic novel of the 20th century and a cornerstone of AH, too convergent with its original timeline?
Tell me what you think.
Tell me what you think.
But Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? That was kind of predicated on a few things that probably might've only happened IOTL...
It's a work of semi-mainstream fiction, and therefore can't be focused on butterflies.
THIS.
In order to make the work more accessible, Moore had to make it more convergent. We continually argue about butterflies and plausibility here while the average reader thinks Turtledove is the master of alternate history.
As for it being a "cornerstone" of AH, that's a bit of a stretch. It's about costumed vigilantes and a superhero. If it were posted here it would be in the ASB forum.
About the last term anyone uses to describe "Watchmen" is "alternate history".
I'm curious; what makes you say that, considering the series also has a giant naked blue dude?I think Moore having Nixon stay on as President after 1972 was one of the more ridiculous things in the series.
