WI Dennis Rodman killed Kim Jung Un?

The Interview is delayed as the movie is rewritten to instead focus around this. It goes on to be a critically acclaimed and commercially successful hit. The extensive use of North Korea-rules basketball in the movie causes an increase in their popularity in the US, however, they are known as "Rodman rules" in tribute for the fallen star. By the 2020s, leagues have been set up to play Rodman rules basketball, and by the 2030s, a merger of several of these leagues produces a major competitor to the National Basketball Association...

Worst case scenario, North Korea claims Rodman to have been an assassin working for the US government, and uses it as an excuse to launch a nuclear attack on the United States...

But on the plus side, Donald Trump would be far too busy rebuilding the NYC skyline to ever run for President. So, win some, lose some. Even nuclear bombardments have silver linings.

They can't even hit New York with a nuke (except when they steal scenes from Call of Duty when making propaganda videos). The best they can do is Alaska or Hawaii.
 
You think the DPRK is just gonna sit back and chill when their head of state was murdered?

What do you think would happen if a suspected Russian agent killed Obama? You think the US wouldn't do anything?

North Korea is a tiny shithole state with a horrendously outdated military machine, no means of waging a sustained war with South Korea let alone the United States AND (here's the kicker) they know it. North Korea's leadership is invested in one thing only, ensuring they are left alone. Their nuclear weapons program is being built as deterrent to invasion. North Korea's leadership, under no circumstances, wants a war with the South or the US. They know they will lose hard, so they are unlikely to start any war of aggression, even if the latest Kim was killed. More likely they'd simply up the propaganda for a while until a successor is chosen. Would they be mad? Probably, can they do anything about it? Not really, they'd probably make life hell for any Westerner who decided "Hyuck I gonna go visit North Korea" at the time and make thunderous videos showing the US being obliterated using footage from popular video games.

Also China isn't going to start a war with the West because an idiot basketball player accidentally conked out the leader of the unwanted bastard child that is North Korea. Relations between the two nations are strained at best they certainly don't support them ideologically or see them as a true ally. Same goes for Russia, they wouldn't care. China sees North Korea as an annoyance which it barely tolerates. They are invested in keeping North Korea propped up so A) US forces aren't simply a border fence away B) Because if North Korea collapsed, the millions of peasants now attempting to flee an even more fucked up North Korea are going in one direction and it aint the one swarming with pillboxes, guard-towers and thousands of South Korean soldiers. China doesn't want millions of brainwashed, starving cultural illiterates surging into Manchuria because THAT is the nightmare scenario for Beijing.

China might favor a regime change. I suspect they have done lots of research on various North Korean officials and have identified those they thiink would be sympathetic.

What if Jesse Owens killed Hitler?

Well he was going to, but the Fuhrer walked out of the stadium rather than shake his prospective assassin's hand and the opportunity was lost. It really was a badly thought out plot; thinking a black man would be stand the best chance getting close enough to Hitler to kill him. They really should have chosen a white member of the Olympic team to be the killer, someone who could get close to Hitler without anyone being concerned - like Marty Glickman for instance.
