[@milantoth6246]

I mean, no, totally not. Countries have let go of rebellious territories many many times historically, especially when they had to focus on something else. (American war of independence, Russian revolution, Hungarian revolution of 1848, like half of afghani history, the whole mess that eventually led to Irish independence, every Latin American country, Algeria, and SO MANY MORE

[@DarthGoshMan]

I'm honestly shocked they could mess up Man in the High Castle so badly. They basically had the movie Fatherland to look at for inspiration on how to deal with late-stage reich syndrome correctly.

[@TobeWilsonNetwork]

I love PKD and all the adaptations of his work, for while they always fail to capture the quintessential PKD spirit they still turn out fascinating in their own right. Except for the Dude in the Huge Castle. Words cannot express the extent to which Amazon desecrated and disfigured the source material. And you’re right, *they couldn’t even make the Nazis interesting*

So, Julianna is what they call in the writing community an 'Anti-Sue', the sub-trope of Mary Sue who is terrible, disliked, and mostly useless but still integral to the plot and kept alive by the enemies who hate her and what she's doing because "she could be useful". It's someone who knows what a Mary Sue is but still hasn't learned how not to write them, so they're the opposite of the Beloved by all, wins at everything Mary Sue.

Honestly though, it would be so much better without the games. You have this incredibly well-thought out (more or less) alternate history, then comes along BJ Blazkowicz with his big pow pow sticks to blow it all away and he somehow just liberates an entire continent more or less alone. It would be incredibly cool if the game took place from the perspective of a boots on the ground N#zi soldier in Africa or something.

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

@Annoying Fan It depends on what they can do with it. There is more than enough material to make a dystopia film, war drama, action film, anything. And honestly there is not a good althis TV series with Nazis. Personally, Man in the High Castle wasn't even good. Or alternate history really.

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

@Annoying Fan Yeah but Man in the High Castle also takes place in our universe. Our universe still happens. The Nazi universe just happens to be where it is set. Therefore it is not alternate history, no more than Futurama is.

The first show is kinda ironic because in our timeline when America landed on the moon first the Soviets just kinda shrugged and congratulated the U.S, but I could totally see the U.S getting pissy about the Soviets doing the same

[@isaacwilcox3010]

It’s mostly down to the fact that the soviets kinda gave up on the Space Race long before the moon landing. Their leading scientist in their space program died which made them loose faith in the project.

[@broghad8241]

Yeah the whole show's concept is dumb af Nobody actually gives a shit about the moon landing this much

[@donatter1042]

@Hunter D yea, but it’s a stupid name

[@axelpatrickb.pingol3228]

@Hunter D Reminds me of Jake Featherston from Harry Turtledove's TL-191. He is essentially a Confederate Hitler that started out as a Sgt in a prestigious artillery regiment that fought alt-WW1 in its entirety, got screwed over by the establishment after his superior (son of the CSA Chief of Staff) killed himself after hinting out that his superior's servant was a Commie all along, went into bitter animosity with the world, especially blacks, joined a Nazi Party-expy, become President of the CSA, went to war against the USA, committed his own Holocaust, and died like Mussolini in 1944. "Featherston" doesn't sound intimidating until after 1944...

[@Agent-Blaze]

[@die1mayer]

[@dyingearth]

Well, Code Geass Rebellion of Lelouch is technically an alternative history. The American revolution failed due to defection of key revolutionary figures and it remains crown colonies. Napoleon defeated all of his enemies in Europe and the British monarchy evacuated to North America to setup Britannia Empire. Oh and there are immortals running around handing out powers (such as our main character's ability to command anyone to obey him absolutely, once) to unwitting individuals.

[@LedosKell]

Supposedly, CC in the Geass universe was Martha Washington and Ben Franklin defected to the Loyalist side because she didn't love him.

@@luisisaacdelarosabeltran1999 I mean having read the book It’s utter garbage. The book takes way to long to forward a plot, and instead of just not having a plot which would totally work he rushed a third act plot that only messed things up, and hurt the narrative they were building. Also the book has virtually no Nazi stuff in it, and was more about a Japanese San Francisco than anything else. It didn’t work, and the only thing that kept it floating was the premise which only gets half used because again they never go to the nazi side of the US. It’s entirely set in San Francisco, and 2 bits of the Neutral Zone. I’m sorry, but it’s just not a good book because how poorly the story itself was handled.

so fringe is basically a universe where the scp foundation just gives up and puts all the burden on a even more weak UIU

[@AstralBelt]

No. The main idea behind Fringe is the phrase, "what hath science wrought?" -- a huge majority of the problems in the show ultimately come down to people misusing the advancement of technology or science for any number of reasons -- some people do it for genuinely touching or noble (in theory) reasons, while others misuse them for horrid and evil reasons. The alternate universe is a thing that simply exists on its own, just as any number of multiverse theories posit, but one of the main characters' (Walter Bishop) ambitions drive things to go out of wack. Fringe Division's job is to try to counteract these "fringe events". Very rarely are they not manmade in some way. I would highly recommend giving the show a watch, because it certainly is not mediocre and has a very touching, intimate story.

D&D have already shown that they can adapt an epic book series to screen - as long as the books are already written. And the weaknesses of Turtledove's writing - namely, the endless repetitive exposition about the weather & such-like conditions in each locale as we jump between POV characters and seasons pass - make it ideal for adaptation into a visual medium where you can actually show-not-tell. Why they didn't go with that but with some brand-x book instead, baffled me. (Though I would still prefer someone else to do the adaptation.)
