So is the alternate universe in Peacemaker the one where the Nazis win?Theres no non-white people in all the clips we saw and Red Dragon pronounces Bludhaven the German way and not the way it is usually said. Gunn probably has a big twist coming with regards to his family and relationship.
>>150143961I figured it would just be the opposite and his dad wasn’t racist.
>>150143985I was thinking that too, why else would he call himself the Blue Dragon instead of still being White Dragon
>>150143961It'd be surprising if Gunn used Nazis both in Creature Commandos and Peacemaker.
>>150143961How confusing must it be for casuals when the a show is rebooted in the second season like this?
>>150143961There are days I do wonder what the world would be like if the good guys won WW2
>The nazis took over America!They never had any intention of doing that. The goal was to take over most of the European continent for a new German Empire and put US and UK in a checkmate via supply chains where they'd be forced to trade with Germany as the predomimant Western power.Hell, even France and Norway were like, they didn't wanna rule it on the books they wanted to install a puppet regime.It's legit become a pet peeve of mine that when Americans try to pretend that the nazis wanted "world domination" to sidestep how their actual goals and plans were eerily similar to the US Manifest Destiny plans.
>>150145253not at all since that didn't happen
>>150145435Most Americans don't actually know anything about World War II (or WWI) because 90% of the time teaching it in school is spent on the holocaust.
>>150145658>Most Americans don't actually know anything about World War II (or WWI) because 90% of the time teaching it in school is spent on the holocaustMain reason why Japan got away with being worse than Nazi germany. Nazi party officials including high ranking SS officers were pleading to Hitler to ditch Japan as an ally after what they did in China alone.
>>150145300Trans would have gotten started much sooner, drug problem a lot worse, Asia surpassing the West far sooner under Imperial Japan, a whole lot of bullshit.
>>150144231Rumor is circulating that the backlash against Creature Commandos made Warner forced Gunn to nix further Nazi villains, as one of the big rumored plotlines the or season two was going to be Peacemaker versus Trump supporters that Gunn was going to portray as White Supremacists.
>>150145435>They never had any intention of doing that.>They were totally going to stop after Poland>I mean Czechloslovakia>I mean...Whatever their Stated Goals at the time were, the minute they won they'd need to by their own ideology have to come up with new goals that would involve securing more land and resources while finding a new enemy to blame an illogical want of land and resources.
>>150145658Most Americans don't know much about their own revolutionary or civil wars nor the war of 1812. Why would anyone expect them to know anything about foreign wars?
>>150146325Anon I wasn't defending the Reich by saying that.But the reality is there was absolutely no logistic means by which the Germans would be able to successfully occupy even the East Coast without running into a logistic nightmare and as it stood, America was known as the "I don't care what's going on over there I just wanna trade" country at this point.It became more and more of a target because it was acting as a massive lifeline for their enemies in both World Wars by supplying the Allies, and both times the core goal was to cripple American supply lines to see if they could get them out of it.If Germany already controlled the European continent then it didn't matter whether or not they had America because they'd have America by the economy in controlling who they could and couldn't export to which already secured the resources.UK was similar, the channel basically ensured any kind of amphibious landing on Britain's shores would be a nightmare and made them impossible to properly invade. Hitler's core fuck-up on the Western front was assuming Britain was just gonna take his shit and then shooting himself in the foot by declaring after Japan did.And this wasn't just the nazis, it was the Axis in general, they all had their targets picked and their big goal was to get all the big boys out of the fight as quick as possible so that they could conquer what they wanted and then blackmail everyone into letting them keep it by threatening further bloodshed
>>150145658>because 90% of the time teaching it in school is spent on the holocaust.what school did you go to?because our curriculum dipped into the 30s to explain how hitler rose to power and we learned a whole bunch of treaties like the molotov-ribbentrop pact the holocaust was taught, but thats because it was a pretty pivotal moment that deserves to be taught and will provide a useful background into dehumanization and the banality of evil if you ever go down a path in sociology
>>150146641He's half-right. A lot of the American curriculum is built around making it out like we just waltzed into the war and won it for everyone, we basically ignore how the biggest part of the European theatre was the Eastern front. They don't teach about the British intel or the FRA contributions. We also tend to underplay the post-war period and a lot of the diplomatic moves taken beyond just the Marshal plan.
>>150145658Most Americans don't actually know anything about World War II because it's painted as the US coming in to save the day while the Soviets were doing nothing except being just as le bad as the nazis, while actually doing most of the work irl to fight them
>>150146641>what school did you go to?Home school in a trailer parkI discovered 4chan when I was in high school and they were still saying this shit, and it was even true then either
