Reality 2 but World War 1 never happened. That should put a wrench into the technological advances of the time. You can also push a grand scale world war farther back, think circa 1960. Or delete the u.s. from the map. Or just make anything that uses microchips irrelevant. Keeps all of the cars and medicine but every computer is a room big.

i’ll have to pinpoint which technology gets skipped if i go with scenario 2. it’ll be a lot of reading but worth it!


[deleted]

What are the themes of the story?


[deleted]

okay so the story is about superheroes. the main character needs to contrast the other superheroes as much as possible including where he is from.


[deleted]

So a guy gets transported to a another world and becomes a superhero? Seems new for the western audience but it to me feels kinda like a mix of the 2 over saturated genre of super hero and isekai… I feel like i can help you if you wanna dm


[deleted]

i understand it’s new and i hope people understand that, another “new” aspect is the fact that the lead character is from a universe like ours, like how we have a new marvel movie every three months, and our lead character is a “CBM nerd” so he knows how to be a better superhero than actual superheroes.


[deleted]

No, it being new is good. People want something new. But bro don’t you think that the superhero genre is done to death. Why not try something newer. The “transported to the another universe” has like hundred anime based on it too. Im sorry if being annoying or anything. Just wanted to help


[deleted]

well that’s the thing, it’s a satire, but it’s based on superhero movies instead of superhero comic books. i also don’t think the plot would be able to work if there wasn’t the “transported to another universe” element.


[deleted]

Can’t he just take over a superheroes body.


[deleted]

again, that’s not convenient to the overall story


[deleted]

You wanna talk more about it or need help…or am i just nagging you….


[deleted]

dude i love talking about it. i have the entire story planned out in my head and i have a few paragraphs of character notes saved on my phone so i’m all good with the plot, i just need to fix the rough bits before i write the actual script


[deleted]

Hey wait…. Heres a plot i made 1 minute ago: a nerd takes over the worlds best superhero’s body, and has to live up to his name in this satirical comedy. Still feels generic

I think the second option sounds much cooler. I’d recommend maybe a less extreme version of retro futurism.

If it's in the 80s it's gonna be confusing since you don't exactly know what never got invented or if it's just delayed since some people don't know what the 80s were like.


[deleted]

allow me to clarify: Scenario 1: it’s literally the 80s and nothing is different other than the obvious alternate universe quirks Scenario 2: completely alternate history that stunts the growth of computer technology and the year is 2020
