Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

[CalBear]

I my personal timeline
( politics )
1 ) trump never becomes a politician instead staring in a streaming show about him becoming a politician
2( the war on drugs is scaled back a ton than it is in our timeline and its more humane
3 the middle east is a but more tame but 9/11 in this timeline it is done by columbian narco terrorists instead of jihadists
4 school is a but more reformed and better for men so a majority of (school incidents) don't happen

5 woke ideology doesn't exist
6 historical figure's are more nuanced

video games

Tlou in this timeline doesn't exist


Sony never makes a majority of their exclusives be cinematic third person slop like in

God of war splits into two different series of games One of series follows kratos and his son in ancient northern europe and deals woth nordic mythology and another follows a nobody from the 21st century who goes back to ancient Britain and ireland and deals with celtic mythology

The us goverment has it own triple a gaming studio and makes quality games for the public education system

Rdr2 Has a majority of it cut content and mechanics released some plot points are actually being addressed like Abigail marstan being the snitch and dutch having a brain injury

Gta v is never made it is instead a animated show on netlfix


Gta 6 releases november 2023. And is a masterpiece and is controversial such as things it parodies such as the flu and eastern Europe war It doesn't feature jason or lucia it features ricardo who a cartel boss rose who is a police officer and kacey who is a gangster


Interplay never declares bankruptcy and theres a more prosperous pc gaming culture so fallout van buren actually releases and it is a masterpiece and it starts fallout mania including merchandise movies tv shows and dozens of spinoffs Also fallout 2 is a bigger game

Fallout tactics is not about the brotherhood of steel instead its a city builder/turn based strategy hybrid
Baldurs gate 3 black hound is released Instead of the woke baldurs gate 3 we have in our timeline


Critical role never exists so dnd isnt co-opted by all the theatre kids

Xbxo starts buying studios way earlier in my timeline so they have most of their games already released by april 2024

Notch doesn't get fired instead he gets in touch with the people running microsoft and they address some of his problems he has with the company

Cyberpunk is wayy better they never hire keanu revves as johhny silverhand instead they have a 8 part questline with keanue revves As a cameo the game has a less ugly aesthetic


The romances are better in my version and the voices in the game are less annoying


Instead of it being

Gay male v kerry
Straight male v panam

Gay female v judy
Straight female v river
You can romances anyone you want


Also theres multiple different ways to get legendary weapons so how it works in normal cyberpunk is certain missions or side quests you ca a get a legendary weapon in my timeline there 3 different ways to get each weapon the 3 ways are main quest / sidequests or in the overworld

NO Current Politics outside of Chat.

1979

1. Being There* - Chance the gardener (Chauncey Gardiner)

1990

1. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone* - Tom Hagen (Nicolas Cage plays Vincent Corleone and Madonna plays Mary Corleone)

(This list obviously doesn’t count the countless number of tv specials, movies, and whatnot done about his life, (and doesn’t take into account the fact that many of them will be quite different, or even not exist at all ITTL!) nor the inevitable remixes and album re-releases and updates. Though for the sake of this, he does appear in one way or another in those projects as health permits.)

(1- The James Dean Story ITTL refers to both a documentary about Dean, as well as a biopic starring Elvis. (James Dean lives ITTL, but the movie’s made about him since the accident still occurs, but he’s miraculously unscathed, so it’s treated as a blessing.)
2- Thanks to the James Dean Story and Your Cheatin’ Hart, Elvis is known to be, and is taken seriously as, an actor, and so it’s clear that he does the other movies for the money. As put much more tactfully by him and the Col. “Fulfilling contractual obligations.”
3- They wanted the Tom Hagen role from OTL to appear in the 3rd Godfather, but seems Duvall asked for too much money, so they didn’t bring him on.
4- Midnight Cowboy is Elvis’ first real flirtation with controversy after his comeback - not that he went anywhere - and pays off, reestablishing his chops as an actor, and firmly establishing his capacity for deep, dark roles. His role in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory calms down more conservative parents into letting their kids go to Elvis concerts again.
5- His slowdown is both a personal and professional decision. Basically, I’m the 70’s, Elvis commits only to passion/personal projects after the grueling year of filming in ‘69. CatCF is his way in making clear that he hasn’t gone all edgy; he was a huge fan of Mario Puzo’s novel; and Streisand personally asked for him; while the role in Grease was a bit part, and his role in Being There was to finish out the decade. After that, the only role Elvis would accept was that in the third Godfather since he had started the series, and he would end it.)

Video games (due to the success of The Godfather, it got a series of games, with some of the original cast returning to voice lines) (* means not made IOTL)

2006

1. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather

2009

1. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather: Part II

2012

1. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone*

With such an illustrious career, it’s only natural it comes with awards. (* means awarded IOTL) (Grammy)

[Lexyflop]

bored and inspired by the post above so here’s an idealised azealia banks career timeline ^_^


pre 212: pretty much same except she makes a friend who tells her not to use the f slur.

2012:

1991 EP (same tracklisting)
Fantasea mixtape:
same tracklist except take out L8r and Runnin’, swap in Esta Noche and a longer version of Paradiso.
instead of calling perez hilton a messy f slur, azealia instead eviscerates him and causes him to deactivate his twitter. she is hailed as a hero by the media.

2013-15

no real changes other than azealia deletes her twitter and finds a very good therapist. zayn incident doesn’t happen.

2016-17

releases the big big beat independently and eventually Slay-Z mixtape. lana features her on lust for life. azealia recieves some label offers but elects to remain independent.


2018

fantasea 2 is released! (possibly under a different title) anna wintour is a small hit and a lana collab gets a lot of attention.
azealia vs lana does not occur (instead they team up to tell off JK Rowling perhaps)

2019 - present

azealia takes a break for her mental health for a while, before returning sometime in the early 2020s with a new album and perhaps some eps or standalone singles along the way. generally she’s at peace and avoids drama, though still gives her takes and opinions even if they’re unpopular.

less detailed at the end but i dream of this world very often lol. might do lana del rey next.
