So long as Mass Effect, Avatar (the James Cameron one), HTTYD and The Dragon Prince carry over in some form? I'm happy.
You may want to PM Nathanoraptor about the first one.On a personal note, having no Avatar, Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Gumball is gonna hurt but I'm sure we'll find diamonds in the rough that will replace them.
Mass Effect is a bit iffy, but it could be done since Bioware is likely to make KOTOR I, though the Reapers would obviously have to be changed.So long as Mass Effect, Avatar (the James Cameron one), HTTYD and The Dragon Prince carry over in some form? I'm happy.
Avatar kinda depends on James Cameron but no doubt it would be different from OTL.
HTTYD and The Dragon Prince are definite no-gos, especially for the latter if Avatar: The Last Airbender is not a thing.
Seeing as Project 880 was drafted in OTL '95 (based on a dream he had when he was 19), it's definitely happening in one form or another. Maybe it's tied to a Rogue Planet sequel (the alt!Deep Impact)?... Avatar kinda depends on James Cameron but no doubt it would be different from OTL...
Thanks, TFoA. Seemed a good place to start.That Gonzo and Camilla skit is the perfect way to ease us into the Fiction Zone. Or, as I'd like to call it, "Anything Can Happen Day if it went out of control".
But seriously, Mr. "Sonny and Shere", I wish you well on your next endeavors.
Thanks.That had me actually crying with laughter, well done.
Thanks, TML, I've appreciated your ideas and your guest writing. Glad to have you on board.My God, I'm actually on the verge of crying from reading this. It's been a wild, wonderful ride - it feels like it was yesterday (even though it was actually three years ago) that I ended up stumbling across this timeline via TV Tropes from the trope page for The History of Arturius Aurelianus (an amazing TL in its own right), and from there suggesting a silly little idea to Geekhis about a TTL film about a certain grey aardvark. Since then, I've grown and changed alongside this TL, contributing a few more ideas along the way, making new friends amongst my fellow readers, and reigniting my passion for writing. So here's to you, @Geekhis Khan, and to whatever comes next.
Thank you Kingfish. It's honestly makes me very happy to have inspired as much creativity as I have.Do note that while I myself am really enjoying this timeline, I haven’t gotten to the current year of it just yet (still in 1993 sadly), but once I catch up I will be glad to give out some ideas.
@Geekhis Khan I also want to point out how much Hensonverse has been an influence on my timeline. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. ajm, and I appreciate the help a nd guest posts, they make a big impact in some cases.I am glad for all you have done @Geekhis Khan . I wish you and Mrs. Khan much happiness in whatever other future plans you take.
Cheers, mate, and thanks.🥃Cheers lads it's been a good one🍻
I have other things that I'm working on, namely an AH novel, but thanks anyway.So, @Geekhis Khan, willing to do a collab TL?
Theoretically, it is healthier than OTL by the 2000s but 2D animation is still under threat due to 3D getting cheaper. Personally, I won't be surprised if 2D films are a rarity or even entirely gone by the direct play era.
Chinese animation could revive itself earlier than OTL but Japanese anime is going to stay dominant.
If Spongebob isn't the all-encompassing animated series it is OTL, then Nickelodeon has opportunities to diversify its lineup with original content (Fiction Zone guest posts?), as would Cartoon City. Honestly, I'm hoping we don't get to see the late 2000s live-action era become a thing ITTL, because that killed animation for a long while (especially for CN) until Adventure Time.
On a personal note, having no Avatar, Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Gumball is gonna hurt but I'm sure we'll find diamonds in the rough that will replace them.
Well, I don’t have any replacement ideas for those, at least in terms of Western animation.
Well, you can make your own original ideas.
Heck, you can even use some of your older ideas of you want to

But wow, three years and 22 in-universe. I'm thinking back to my first suggestion to remake Gorgo given Disney owned the rights to it. Now i'm one of the guys who has helped make it the giant it is today.

Avatar kinda depends on James Cameron but no doubt it would be different from OTL.

Cameron had the idea that became Avatar in the late 90's - however, I can imagine a lot of aspects being different. (Having said that, an Avatar equivalent with Dougal Dixon's involvement would be rad).
It is a thing, but it's going to be rather different from OTL (it's done by Bongo Studios - Bryke come up with the idea whilst working on Bartman). However, Aaron Ehasz (who's made head writer upon recommendation of Groening - because he wrote a wuxia episode of Nuclear Family called "Big Trouble In Little Chinatown") is going to end up co-creating something else after it and Bryke move on to much bigger things.
As for HTTYD, the Cressida Cowell novels miiight exist, but any adaptation of them will probably be much different to OTL.
OK, the Main TL ending does not mean that the thread becomes a Discussion Thread. We still have a speculation & commentary thread, and we still have PMs. Please use them and stop spamming up the TL. I've still get a few weeks of Epilogue to post.Makes sense (and I realized from the get-go that Outer Wilds is a non-starter). Oh well...
Seeing as Project 880 was drafted in OTL '95 (based on a dream he had when he was 19), it's definitely happening in one form or another. Maybe it's tied to a Rogue Planet sequel (the alt!Deep Impact)?
May I suggest as soon as the epilogue ends, you close the thread? This way this thread won't be overwhelmed once it's over. Also, could people please cut their posts and paste them in the right threads now so that this could become a story-only thread please?OK, the Main TL ending does not mean that the thread becomes a Discussion Thread.

Twenty-one years. From a passing thought on Jim having his own studio when Eisner rejected The Black Cauldron, through a crazy, do-or-die run on Disney that gave Jim that first bite of the Mouse, to Jim joining the company, to merging with the company, to heading the company, to gaining a majority stake in the company, I’d been there, Sancho to his Quixote, with each crazy tilt of the lance.

Oh right, nvm.Dubya has a spot on the board, but other than that he’s not actually in charge of anything.
