  • Late night: give me something pop cultural (movie, game, TV show, comic, book, song, etc.) and I'll briefly describe an alternate history version of it (made up by me).

    Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario KFC: Colonel Sanders instead creates a restaurant that serves versions of Thanksgiving food year round, with turkey instead of chicken. It's less successful, though it still has its niche, and Popeye's eventually is the most known fried chicken restaurant in this universe. Popeye is more generally culturally relevant, in the sense of how a mascot will usually be around for a while, though it's in different ways than how he could or would be relevant if he's only primarily known as a cartoon/comics character.

    From Twitter, my altered versions of a few series, as well as what might change alongside them. These may vary in plausibility.

    Daffy Duck retains his earlier manic personality for a few more shorts, and the reverberating wave leads to Bugs Bunny not existing, and Daffy being their top cartoon star. It's what Daffy wanted in canon, in a way. As a side result, Disney ramps up their marketing for their Duck characters, leading them to not only be heavily popular in Europe, but basically the most popular comics in America, as well, even outpacing Marvel and DC. (Although this early of butterflies probably has them still being called "Timely/Atlas Comics" and "National Publications" or what have you.) Comics are seen as a medium that goes hand in hand with cartoons, leading it to different associations in the cultural zeitgest. We do not see Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns, but we do see greater success for Howard the Duck, as well as David Lynch's Woody Woodpecker.

    2 in the AM PM gets picked up earlier on as an [adult swim] show. Along with altered versions of Problem Solverz and King Star King, they end up leading [adult swim] on an altered path. Due to the Butterfly Effect, Rick and Morty ends up on FX alongside a Deadpool show. Due to shake-ups w/several shows, Adventure Time ends up on Nick and Fanboy & Chum-Chum, somehow, ends up on CN. Adventure Time gets 1 or 2 seasons, but unfortunately falls to the SpongeBob curse. Fanboy & Chum-Chum becomes this timeline's version of Teen Titans Go. However, due to already having a hyperactive superhero comedy, DC Nation generally continues with different experiments in DC animation, and there's a broader variety in that regard. CN becomes more regarded for action shows, while Nick is more known for comedy, even w/Avatar: the Last Airbender. More on AM PM: similar show in tone, w/more mild swearing/adult themes. It's retooled from the short, Mordecai & Rigby working at a gas station instead of a park, with a lot of characters coming in and out of their lives, either through the job or their outside social lives.

    Shortly after Undertale's Kickstarter funding and the early signs of a passionate fanbase, Toby Fox gains the notice of Microsoft, and Undertale ends up under their umbrella, ending up as a multi-million dollar seller with more spin-off titles. This makes it essentially swap positions with Minecraft, which is still "indie" in this world. People are excited when Frisk ends up in Smash, but almost as excited when Steve is a Mii Swordsman. Indie RPGs generally gain an even bigger boost from this, mostly because companies see $$$, but it does give some creators greater success and exposure. Nintendo is still slightly behind the times, but is angling for an official Western release of Mother 3 in early 2022.
    My other creation thread ideas so far besides Pop Culture Clash: Nintendo/Smash Cinematic Universe, Advertising Mascots Fighting Game, Amalgam Comics [mentioned previously], Nintendo VS Everyone Else [perhaps too similar to other ones]
    My other idea for a creation thread would be "Remake Amalgam Comics!", the brief 90's thing where Marvel and DC combined their characters/universes. But that's pretty off of the other ones (making hypothetical comics ideas instead of game ones), and I dunno how many are as interested in comics here.
    I don't wanna concentrate on it until after the "Smash of Another Universe" one is completely finished, but I might make my own big creation thread. It'll have a pretty broad subject matter, I can say that. If anyone's reading/interested, anyways.
