WOW! He also apparently influenced things like copyright legislation. He kind of does feel like the obscure and shady figure with more influence on society than anyone suspects. However, according to Wikipedia, he blasted Oliver Stone for his JFK movie, thinking LBJ was an intelligent man who didn't deserve such bashing, so I think he would be offended if you accused him of being part of some deep state.

Cool. How does it survive?
Really? How does Anime Network manage to stick? They'd have to revamp the thing and make it a joint venture and actually get it on some real cable/satellite operators.
I thought the Old Fandom kinda just stayed and co-existed alongside the New Fandom....
Really? How?
Really?
Holy crap, something BIG must have happened.
Also, how does Atari and Sega survive and what does EC Comics do to keep themselves afloat?
Cool!

i've decided to suggest some stuff for your own timeline. add them if you want, ignore them if you don't, fine by me
(sorry if my English sucks)
Home On The Range is replaced by it's original vision, Sweating Bullets
Because of animation being more respected, films like Bolt, My People, or Meet The Robinsons are 2d animated
while Gravity Falls still ends after season 2, Lost Legends, instead of being a comic book, is a anthology TV movie special follow-up ITTL
Silent Hills drops the grated pyramid head theming after 3, later entries focus on how others perceive silent Hills differently (like how 2 implied it and downpour CLAIMED they would do a different take)
Super Punch Out doesn't introduce a lot of bland generic fighters, instead bringing back others like Glass Joe or Don Flaminco. here's my ideas
Minor Circut: Glass Joe, Bear Hugger, Piston Hondo (who also replaces Piston Hurricane from the Arcade Game), Bald Bull
Major Circut: Great Tiger, a gender swapped Dragon Chan, Don Flamanco, Mr Sand Man
World Circuit: Aran Ryan, Kid Quick (Genderswapped, also replaces disco kid INTL) , King Hippo, Super Macho Man
Special Circuit: Von Kaiser, Alice and APE III (from the obscure Arm Wrestling game), Soda Popinski, Iron Jane (World Champion.....and Glass Joe's wife?)
Pokemon doesn't focus on bloating the Pokemon count a lot every game, rather focusing on improving gameplay. (though either popular ones or well designed ones, like Toxitricity, Polteagiest, Falinks, Houndstone, Nacil, or Tinkaton debut earlier and replace either middling or horribly designed pokemon)
The Pokemon Seizure incident does not occur
Along with Virtual Boy Wario, Panic Bomber, Nester's Funky Bowling, Dragon Hopper, Teleroboxer, and Jack Bros debut on the Snes rather then Virtual Boy. ITTL, it's an infamous concept that never got in development, tho it is a reccuring gag in nintendo games to the point it's been claimed as R.O.Bs arch-enemy.
Bioshock Infinite and Sly Cooper 4 are saved for the PS4 rather then releasing at the end of the PS3's shelf life. as a result, Bioshock Infinite is allowed to be like it's original vision and Theives In Time does not have a cliffhanger ending
Plants Vs Zombies is owned by Sega
Hollywood Monster Design isn;t corpreitized and limited to just grey humanoid monsters (see Cloverfield, Quiet Place, or Stranger Things to see what i'm talking about)
The Dark Universe doesn't suck ass. how specifically? well, for one, they don't try and shove a million sequel and movie teases, hell, I even imagine this wouldn't have a typical big team-up movie, something more like the classics a "x vs. y" situation. also, the monsters, aside from genderswapping some like Mummy Or The Gillman, also adds a modern twist on them like with the Invisible Man. for instance, The Mummy and it's curse are in actually a misinterpred species of Fungi similar to Cordyceps that infected an Egyptian Queen, being locked up in a tomb, growing and waiting until it's released (so not like an evil being but more a creature that's doing it's sole purpose in life)
(that's about it. i'm planning on a Smash Bros suggestion, but for now these are various suggestion for u)

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll look into them when I get home from work. Feel free to send a dm too, but I may not be able to respond immediately.

Would it be wrong for me to use stuff from Fanon Discontinuity and What Could Have Been on TV Tropes? I ask because the site has kind of a mixed rep.
That gives it more nuance in my opinion!
@ThatOneGuyWithSunglasses
any ideas you particularly like?
(also, I stated these were suggestion for your timeline, so feel free to integrate any of em into your timeline)

As a troper, I'd say that stuff adds more color and richness to your idea.
Five or six additional Daniel Craig James Bond films squeezed in would be nice
Has anyone saved Jim Henson, Hendrix, TuPac, Joplin, Jim Morrison, Billy Holliday, Lennon, any of the myriad creators who died pretty damn young?
I'd like to add John Cazale, Jim Belushi, Chris Farley, Judi Barsi, and Mary Kay Bergman.
I know its cliche and a tad wish-fulfilly, but seeing how different our culture would've been if certain people hadn't died young is still an interesting exercise because it reflects the central theme of AH: how the smallest changes can result in a very different world.
Let's throw in Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, and John Candy.

Gone Fishin'
1.Star Trek does 5 years. Either grace Lee Whitney or laurel Goodwin remain for completion of series.
2.cliff Burton remains in Metallica but leaves for megadeath as after the black album they are too commercial.
3.mick Taylor stays in the stones but Ron wood is a side member.
4.After John Lennon lost weekend realizes maya
Pang is a Kool chick and continues writing with Paul macartney not necessarily a Beatles reunion need to come out of this though.
