I watched four alternate history shows so you dont have to. Lets go down this journey together as I needed to make that time mean something. Will we learn anything? No. Except never go into a review thinking it will be a fun easy video.

27:38 you know its alternate history when the Empire of japan willingly gives up a huge chunk of territory
,,Nobody took this area for some reason"
Russia when occupying said Area 1700s - 1941 : *Existance is suffering*
@EuphoricZone The fact that they took the west coast at all is weird. Like, why bother? All the stuff they wanted was on islands in the Pacific or mainland Asia.
Maybe they got too much land?
@EuphoricZone japan would never ever handover American territories to others they will massacre everyone if necessary
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
Imagine being the leader of a large part of North America and your parents gave you the name John Smith.
next alternate history show will feature the Spanish empress Maria Martinez, the caliph Muhammad Mohamed and the Chinese emperor zang wei
@Hunter D yea, but it’s a stupid name
@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...
Mfs really put a protagonist name onto an antagonist
Even a supreme leader is a mere human.
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.
Nah.

Only if Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was a TV show.
It was real life
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was a biography, not alternate history
Can’t wait to see you in the upcoming ERB Mr. President.
My favorite Abraham Lincoln quote is, "The problem with reading quotes on the internet is that it can be hard to verify their authenticity."
Pretty good movie for what it was. Would recommend.

Man In The High Castle: A show that exists in a horrifying world where not really much actually happens on screen.
So our world, in essence
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.
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*
The show had so much potential. What a waste.
That is why I prefer Fatherland over this. They capture the effects of a victorious Nazi Europe well...
...You all know that Philip K. Dick's daughter herself helped produced 'The Man in the High Castle'?
bruh HOI4: TNO is more interesting than a Man in the High Castle. And more interest characters then a juliana crane
Man in the High Castle summarized in one sentence:
“Local woman releases Snyder Cut, ruins everything.”
"Nazi supersoldier gets hillariously killed by old Japanese Man."
"Funny little Nazi man gets angry and dies to leprechaun"
“Cross-Country Road Trip, but with Nazis and Guns”
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 "Nazi big wig's son gets hilariously killed by tiny woman."
"For 4 seasons Nazi man becomes less fanatic only to become *literally Hitler* in the last 20 minutes."
I wanted Man in the High Castle to be good so bad, but this video has helped me finally accept that it wasn't. It really wasn't.
Cool soundtrack though.
If you want a good, disturbing alternate history where the Axis wins, I recommend two HOI4 mods: The New Order: Last Days of Europe, and Thousand-Week Reich. There’s also the book Fatherland.
@@ThatOneMan830 hahaha im literally looking for hoi4 mods and cruising this comment section as i type this. thanks man
This perfectly sums up my feelings. Such a cool concept, such poor execution
I live in Cañon City the main town/city in the damn show and the only thing they got right about us is the damn sign you see at the beginning of the first episode that the characters enter the town. We are basically a shrub desert, not some lush looking oregon town....
question, when is monte casino part 2 coming out?
"Hey, can we have a normal Alternate History show that doesn't involve multiverse travel and complex sci fi shenanigans?"
Alt History show: "No."
Ok hear me out:
Nukes never existed, Japan was invaded, and now vehemently anti-communist US fights China for control over Asia.
Cody isn't such a fan apparently as ntly.
But For All Mankind does exactly what you ask. And I personally liked the scenario and the story a lot.
@@DakotaofRaptors I would love an alternate history show about how bloody Operation Downfall could’ve been.
Ok so before you judge me
Is your pfp one of those default Xbox pfps?
I know what you mean, a lot of media now seems to have this fascination with everything having an inter dimensional element of some sort.
Wolfenstein’s alternate history would be an awesome movie
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.
@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.
@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.
Hell yeah dude!
Wolfenstein's alternate history would be an awesome reality
Holy hell, that whole summary of Fringe was just insane
NOICE : )))))))))
jajajajjajajajajajajajajajajajajjajajajajajajajajaja
He managed to do a pretty good job 👍
That’s your standard Kurtzman and Orci written production. Managing to be pointlessly complicated while at the same time being thematically shallow and vapid and corny af
Fringe is trash
It hurt my head
Bro, I remember watching Fringe when I was a kid. Hearing him explain the plot I realized, the amazing show that got me hooked on sci-fi could be dismissed as a fever dream
I watched it originally on tv. And I’ve watched twice all the way through and I still love the show as much as I did at first. Yes it’s campy and sometimes ridiculous but episodes like “the White Tulip” and the final episode, and season where Peter reconciles with Walter still makes me realize how great the show is. Watch it again. I promise you’ll change your opinion
@@HaloProductionsUSA The episode "Peter" where Walter explains everything to Olivia was just...damn.
@@logicplague2077 oh it’s so good. John noble is a masterful actor
Vampire Daries similar shere it gets crazy and out of nowhere but with a lot more vampires
But it ended up where it deserved: top of the rank, best of the bunch!
I've gotta say, as a fan of For All Mankind, the 2nd season really took things up a notch. Improved on the characters, improved on the situations, etc, besides one moment that any viewer of FAM will know what I mean. Plus the timelines start to get more diverted in interesting ways, such as 3 mile being avoided, John Lennon surviving, and Reagan being elected in the 70s. It's an interesting series, and I'm really hyped for Season 3
I really like the series a lot. Many people say it's woke pandering but I didn't really see it that way at all. During those times you had the anti-war counter culture and civil rights/feminist movements happening so it's very realistic to what was happening in those days.
Yes, I just did a whole paragaph bassicly correcting cody and adding on things, But season 1 is still pretty good, A great start to a amazing show
Ew Reagan
Bobby Kennedy got elected too, plus a woman (in my America??? 🇺🇸) who
SPOILERS
has to hide the fact that she's a lesbian (in my America??? 🇺🇸)
The third season is terrible, just awful.
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
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.
Yeah the whole show's concept is dumb af
Nobody actually gives a shit about the moon landing this much
@isaacwilcox3010 It also didn't help that there were multiple design bureaus all competing for government funding. Sergei Korolev (the guy you were talking about) wasn't the only person working on space stuff.
@isaacwilcox3010 "died" pretty sure he was assassinated but by which nation is questionable
The thing is, Soviets did win space race. They did everything first, except human landing on moon.and did this with a economy of third world countrie.
“This stereotypical Nazi bad guy”
...But Reinhard Heydrich was literally like that. It isn’t even an exaggeration. 😂😂😂
And they assassinated him Inglorious Basterds style.
He was so evil, even other Nazis feared him and were glad he was dead.
He was evil by Nazi Standards, that's fucking impressive
@@AbrahamLincoln4 watch the movie Anthropoid a retelling of the effort to assassinate him.
I want a show/movie based on Turtledove’s The Man With the Iron Heart for real.
I like "For All Mankind". I think it's certainly worth the time (8/10).
I do too! It gets better during S2 and S3 is going well so far
I agree, i dont really care much for the character developments, but other than that all three seasons are really good
Yes. Definitely watch it
Season 3 Was especially interesting, showing a Mars landing in the 90s

Your Synopsis of "Fringe" gave me a headache. In this universe.
The fact that he’s the only person on TH-cam to talk about how terrible man in the high castle is is giving me a migraine in three universes
The CGI for Fringe is giving me a headache.
@@jasonshaneyfelt1039 Its the best headache ever
Fringe is like the live action JOJO part 6 the final arc only becuz it f***ing ruined evrything
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.
Supposedly, CC in the Geass universe was Martha Washington and Ben Franklin defected to the Loyalist side because she didn't love him.
Actually the point of divergence is even earlier, with all the Celtic tribes of Great Britain uniting to push out the Romans.
@@redrave404 I think that stuff about Celtic tribes of Britain uniting to push out the Romans is just a propaganda by Britannia.
My second favorite anime ever
Anime Alt History shows would probably need their own video considering how many of them there are
The Boy in the Tall Tower show is a shining example of the phrase “the book was better!”
Even then the book isn't that good.
And even the book isn’t that good, enjoyable but not world changing, I find it hilarious that people can’t stand the characters in the show that are actually in the book
The Lad in the Elevated Fortress
@@okruma625 yes, is not that good, even seems bad compare with literally any book written by Philip K. Penis
And given that the book is fucking awful, that's a ringing dismissal by itself.

Anyone who knows anything about the Pacific theater during WW2 would know that every woman on the West Coast of the U.S. in the Man in the High Castle would have a half Japanese child, and I hope you can see where I’m going with this.
That and the shit they did in Unit 731, for when the shit the Nazis did seem too human
Not to mention, even the Nazis were disgusted at what happened in Nanking.
Edit: Since I am STILL getting replies, I made a comment right below where I recognize my mistake. Yes, I am aware that the Nazis did their fair share of human experimentation.
At the very least the Nazis weren't literally performing human experiments, and they started employing children only when they got desperate. Japan just sent em with grenades right towards enemy lines
(Clarification this isnt to make Nazis look better its just that WW2 Japan was really twisted)
@@NewNicator wasn't it like one nazi officer
Actually I think it’s less supposed to be that the Japanese were more tolerant and more that the Japanese became more tolerant After the war.
So basically, Man in the High Tower can be summed up by one Dr. Who clip.
Cyberman: "Is this the human condition of madness, Leader?"
Leader: "It is."
For the man in the high castle, the reason why Germany did not immediately go to war with Japan was because they were still fighting WWII in the Urals while Japan was still fighting in China and Siberia (this is mentioned briefly when we see resistance received weapons). The uncolored areas are regions out of both governments control (and Germany annexed Italy).
It is unfortunate that none of this was shown despite how interesting they are
I couldn't read this without bursting out laughing at the sheer stupidity of that scenario (no offense to you, the novels themselves were batshit crazy)
@@emmisysquire9684 I mean, it is quite realistic tho. Even under the crazy scenario where Germany and Japan won there is no way they have the resource to hold and stabilize the region. As stupid as it is the premise is just impossible.
@@emmisysquire9684 if germany had make a nuclear bomb
All this talk about multiple universes meeting each other makes me wonder what Hitler from The New Order would think about Germany from Kaiserreich.
Imagine if Himmler from TNO was a Nazi in real life. The results would be catastrophic; I'm glad he's just a fictional character.

“Italy got a coupon to Papa John’s”
Each of them got what they deserved for the work they did, Germany, half the world, Japan, the other half and Italy a coupon and getting devoured by Germany. Fun

Man in the High Castle was ruined for me when they pulled "oh lol we can change realities hahah". It just completely ruins it for me.
It was actually an idea from the draft of the sequel that PKD never released due to being soul-drained by his research on National Socialist Germany.
Yeah if you're gonna do a Nazi Victory story, it ruins it to give your characters an escape hatch. The entire premise of the Nazis winning is that the world is irrevocably fucked.
@@NathanTAK Its just a way to make the reader feel good about themselves because "the good guys are always supposed to win" *insert soyjak here*
For once I want a story where Germany isn't doomed to fall, which the very concept of is completely spitting on the sacrifice allied soldiers gave in the war.
For me it isn’t so much the fact that some people travel to other universes it’s that we know how it works and it can be done consistently. Tagomi’s miracle and the film’s. Sure it’s acceptable But when people are Apparently doing it constantly you ruined basically the entire story.
@@zemowit I don't think that's true. The Reich was built on pillars of sand but the harm it would have done before, during, and after its collapse was absolutely worth doing everything in our power to stop it from getting to that point
Fringe is 1 of my favorite sci-fi shows ever. It goes absolutely batshit, but it's an immensely satisfying experience. If no one here has ever seen it, please go do so. It's genuinely one of those underrated gems.
Totally agree!

Man in the High Castle is true pain. Juliana is absolutely the WORST main character ever created. She is truly awful in every way possible. Also hoped that Joe was gonna be a good guy but turned out to be a dang ol' "Notsee".

For All Mankind has gotten even better in the next seasons. It's still more drama than sci-fi, but it is deliberate and watching the three seasons is definitely worth your time. Give it a chance [you, random person reading this comment]!

Man in the High Castle and The Plot Against America are a fascinating juxtaposition, not for the vast difference in realism and overall quality (as the latter was adapted by the brilliant David Simon of the Wire), but because both are about fascism in America, yet portray it so differently. MitHC sees fascism as something foreign to America, as just a short-changed code for uncomplicated evil that never has to be understood or confronted on a political level. tPAA on the other hand, understands how fascism can develop, gradually and organically, from within American society, which had through its history many parallels with aspects of fascism.

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.
I watched the first season of High Castle and couldn't keep going. Thanks for saving me time every considering continuing it
"For all mankind" 10/10. Best tv drama and space opera at all for me. A perfect 'cold war' what if.
so fringe is basically a universe where the scp foundation just gives up and puts all the burden on a even more weak UIU
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.
@@AstralBelt I hope you know what the scp universe even is
@@starleigh6680 Based on your response, do you...? It is a universe where all sorts of anomalies, creatures, etc exist. That is not even remotely similar to what is in Fringe.

@@ethanrapp6998 Professor Why is still a thing!?
@@DakotaofRaptors Yes, although the previous 2 seasons were not very well received. Everything before that has been very good though.
Right? I actually doubled back on the episodes to make sure I hadn’t missed any.
You have to travel to an alternate reality to find the ending
I couldn't get into Man in the High Castle... And you put the nail on it. After seeing that synopsis, I'm glad I didn't try to get back into it.
Finally someone used the “SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE’S BREAKING IN!” clip. I show people that clip all the time and ive never seen it used.
“Gee, I love reading about history, but what if things would have happened differently? I would love to read about it!”
Turtledove: “I’m bout to start this whole genre”
Turtledove didn’t start this genre. It existed well before him. Though there are others, “Bring the Jubilee”, which I believe was published some time in the ‘50s, comes to mind.
How to fix Man in the High Castle
1. We don't have Juliana start killing everyone she meets
2. We have more action
3. We get rid of the BCR, that whole thing was stupid
4. We remove the multiverse stuff, and instead have it as a fake propaganda film
6. We don't forget about Ed
7. More Volkshalle. I loved it
8. More Nazi buildings, I wanna see that Nazi Stadium
9. We don't kill Tagomi
10, We actually give it a proper ending.
maybe also add a few shots of mainland Japan (alt Tokyo would be nice to see and compare to the capital of the Reich)
@@johannesamores3256 Their one missed opportunity. I mean I really like the show's effort in world building, but that's the only thing missing.
Yes that sounds perfect
@@johannesamores3256 You're goddamn right. And what about L.A.? Is there a Japanese Hollywood?
Ffs when I saw Tagomi die off-screen in the first minutes of Season 4 I knew it was gonna be a rough ride.

"Everyone forgets Peter ever existed." Man, people named Peter have a lot of bad luck when it comes to multiverses.
I remember fringe having a lot of good Easter eggs in the other world,and together they made a really nice story.
I feel like cody is trying to one up his brother now in weirdness and I approve of the timeline where cody and tyler are competing for there insane audiences brains.
The Drug Wars: Hub Edition.
I'm side Cody. At least Cody is still making videos relevant to what his channel is supposed to be rather than having it go completely off the rails to the determent of the people who preferred how the channel used to be.
I noticed he edits similar to Tyler now
@@JJAB91 I completely disagree I love that tyler is an insane goblin man now and every video he makes is a trip and what the channel is, but if that’s how you feel that’s fine I did enjoy the old style too..
@@DeanmC261993 kek, insane goblin man
The really depressing thing about Man in the High Castle is.... you had an incredibly powerful setting and this is the best story you can make with it?
What can I say, Amazon is the king of wasted potential when it comes to series and games.
that is what tends to just happen, take an interesting setting and make it into cheap drama
thanks to you i watched the entirety of Fringe in just over a week and a half. now i feel empty, as though i have been robbed of joy as i now know there is no more Fringe to watch.
10:24 still cracks me up 3 years later. The Twilight Zone intro, the screaming, the shaking shot, everything is perfect!
I absolutely love how chaotic this episode is. It’s a fun change of pace from the more intellectual and logical videos
It also shows a possible source of Tyler's madness. I was getting crazy trying to understand the plot of Fringe.
As long as he doesn't go full Tyler. If you like Tyler's new stuff thats great but if you subbed to him because of the videos he used to make this sudden change is pretty much a big fuck you to long time subs.
@@JJAB91 I get that but I’ve been watching his vids for a long time and I’m not particularly offended. People evolve and so does their content. But I get you, I don’t particularly want this style to be the new normal either but as far as the occasional video, I don’t mind it
Imagine if Kaiserreich had a show
It would need to be fleshed out a lot more. There would need to be an accepted canon.
@@brunofshr5170 Talk about a blue-ball ending. Fans would demand a continuation.
@@DarthEstebanMontoya the last minutes of the last episode are just the trailer of paradox's standalone Kaiserreich(tm), and then a code that will give you 2% discount in the $2999,99 season pass for the first 300 people to pre-order
i understand kaiser cat is working on such series
It's being worked on.
The man in the high castle S1 is Star Wars rouge one on drugs with the whole “give the film to the resistance” thing
Man I remember watching the 1st season of Fringe when it came out. Later I watched the first episode of the 2nd season and idk it just felt off. Felt weird like things didn't quite carry over from the previous episode, the 1st season finale, to the next one. Never continued lol. Probably should have, things apparently got insane.
The man in the high castle should’ve been about John Smith and his redemption. I feel like it would’ve been more interesting
True. There were a lot of scenes that show Smith wasn't entirely in line with the Nazi system. But all those scenes ended up going absolutely nowhere cuz he dies in the end as a generic bad guy who wants to do bad things rather than a complex and interesting character.
@@ragingshibe Unfortunately, the cancellation ruined everything!
Unpopular opinion. I don’t like season 4 BUT John shooting himself slightly redeemed it. It proved at that point he didn’t care about family since his two daughters were alive, he only cared about power. Then the rest of the finale ruined it.
also the guy who plays john smith is INCREDIBLE
Smith carried the show all the way until the end when he ruined it all
"Wants to destroy both universes."
Sounds like typical Leonard Nemoy.
TIL the Man in the High Castle is just Cody but old and in the 60s.
I fucking love the he used a clip from Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.
SS-GB, both the mini series and the book, is an excellent example of alternate history done right. Small, focused, and the horrors of the world largely implied. I'd love to see a recap of this.
Do a video on the lore of the HOI4 mod The New Order. It’s a alt-history mod with hella good writing (and a healthy dose of grim dark too)
Yes TNO the timeline where a shrimp boat starts a nuclear war or a cocaine addicted obese goering invades the US or Japan and ends the world
There's no point in him doing a video on it as it's too small, is quite new, has very vague lore that for some parts is literally the spirit of Rommel shits out panzers so Germany wins plus last time Cody did a HOI4 mod it didn't go well at all
@@nicole3002 idk what you’re talking about... the video has the most views out of his videos for a while
@@the_beast183 Some of the Kaiserriech fans got toxic on twitter
@@nicole3002 What did they say? Personally I love Kaiserreich and I had no issue with the video.
There was a show on Spike TV that was simply called "Alternate History" and episode 1 was what if Germany won WWII.
And it was garbage.
@@Ray-xq3cx Yes, it was.
That first episode was such an America circle jerk lmao, almost nothing about it was based on realism and didn’t even bother getting too specific other than “SINCE WE’RE BADASS AMERICANS WE’LL EVENTUALLY DEFEAT THE NAZI SCUM”
There was another series where the 30 years war goes different IIRC, also on spike. Or maybe it was an episode from that series
As you moved into recap mode I realized I couldn't remember what all 4 were. Thank you for saving my time.
I’m glad this ended up auto playing on TH-cam. I needed a good laugh, thank you
Alternate History is just a Historian's Fan Fiction.
