Not even close. Those bands had haters when they were popular, while AIC were still popular and relevant when Layne died IOTL.

I may have said this earlier in the thread, but going back to music, I could see Country pivoting back to an "outlaw" style again, maybe as a backlash against the glossy pop country.

Let's say Metallica's bus driver is able to avoid hitting the patch of black ice and Cliff Burton survives. Do Metallica still change their sound in the 90s and gain their commercial success?

I wonder how this affects television animation, since this butterflies away the Disney Afternoon and all of the Disney Channel cartoons as well.

Is internet piracy (ie, downloading music from sites like Napster) still prevalent in this TL?

Bubblegum Crisis: The Movie (2000). While the story and setting was accurate to the anime, having the cast consist entirely of country music stars for some bizzare reason (ie, Shania Twain as Priss, among other casting oddities) meant the film was completely lacking in actors who worked. Most...

You could get rid of Susie by just saying her family moved away, but Angelica is harder as you'd have to get rid of Drew and Charlotte as well.

Some thoughts: The Champions book could last longer, Cyclops, Jean, Banshee, and Havok likely get their own stories in mini-series and anthology books, but never a full on series. Alpha Flight may still be around, and their struggle is to capture Wolverine, but stuff like the Claws being part...

Let's say Marvel decides not to bring back the X-Men after all and it becomes a forgotten book, one of their rare 60s failures. How does this affect Marvel and future storylines (remember that all the characters up into the book going dormant are still around in the MU, and so is Woverine).

It would probably have to be hosted on the dark web, though that could lead to some interesting stuff too.

After it's infamous 85-86 season, NBC decides to cancel Saturday Night Live, having a huge impact on comedy and entertainment in general.

Maybe the VCR never really takes off and is discontinued by 1985. This would have a big butterfly effect, especially on movies and tv, since there's no way to "revisit" them.

I cant see the Marvel heroes fitting into the Image universe, especially since Image was seen by many to be style over substance.

Let's say that Jimmy Carter wins re-election in 1980, then Mondale wins in 1984 and again in 1988. How would pop culture be affected? One that may seem minor but would be a huge change may be that Carter doesnt de-regulate Children's Television, meaning a lot of the toy-based shows of the 80s...

Mission Earth: The Invaders Plan (1989). The first (and only) film in a planned 10 film series based off of the L Ron Hubbard Dekalogy. Besides the convoluted plot and the lack of any likable characters (even the ones who were supposed to be "good" were too cocky to gain audience sympathy), the...
