...But is actually going to be revealed to be Doomsday?

We do know from both how this season has been building on and from Episode 5's title that is going to take inspiration from The Death of Superman and Reign of the Superman.

I think also the reason why Jon is actually going back in time is to stop Clark and Kara from dying from Doomsday.

My theory is that Lex is going to find out about B1Z and probably experimenting on him, this leading to him mutate into Doomsday. The show is no stranger to reinvent characters so that might be either an Hulk style failsafe mode when is in critical danger.

This leads to Episode 5 (titled "The Death of Superman") that is likely going to be about Jon trying to prevent the death of his father.

[OOC: The series is written in Universe from 2015 to 2020 (Turtledove survived the Snap) and is about a world where Captain America doesn't get frozen in the ice and instead he returns to the US. In Book 1 after Steve returns he gives his blood to the US Government so they can make more soldiers, Cap retires in 1952 and has a son with Peggy Carter called James while a man named Jack Simons becomes the new Mcarthian Captain America and leads a group of Super Soldiers who win the Korean War. Book 2 is in the 60s where Jack is becoming more violent and leading his way to Vietnam, Steve returns to fight as Captain America and face off Jack in Vietnam where he's killed in 1968. Book 3 jump foward to a more authoritarian 1982 where the US are controlled by an authoritarian HYDRA Agent president who went to war with Mexico in the second Mexican-American War, Steve is still a fugitive when he finds out HYDRA is still alive thorugh SHIELD, Steve and his son James fight HYDRA and are able to expose and defeat SHIELD but Cap dies. The final two books are set in the 1990s and 2000s showing James as the new Captain America, the end of the Super Soldiers Army Program in the US and the subsequent War on Terror where James has become the President of the US instead of George W. Bush. The final book ends with James seeing the debut of Iron Man in 2010 and offering Tony Stark to join a team to protect the world.]

I know this is generally considered a pretty mixed series in contrast to other Turtledove books but i think it does a great job at world building and overall are great spy novels too. I think books 2 and 3 are the best, the first one as well as book 4 and 5 focuses too much on the Scenario than the story but still enjoyable for the ones that are here from the scenario alone. Any thoughts?

I heard many stories about the ”Ghost Rider” and how he allegedly attacked criminals back in those days but he was never found or proven to be an actual person, but since we got heroes like Doctor Strange or Thor around could possibly be real ?

Some rumors say it was used by the US Military in World War 2 in secret with the codename "The Human Torch". Said rumors said it also helped Captain America a few times to dismantle HYDRA too. Is there any truth to these kind of facts ?

Any rec on something that explore this concept? I think it would be very intresting to read that.

I've been writing a scenario where WW2 is avoided by a civil war between Austria and Germany happening shortly after the Auschluss in 1938 but The War on the Pacific (fought by an alliance between the USA, China, USSR and England) still happens from 1941-1945 and still ends with the Atomic Bomb beign invented but without a wide European war happening on the other side.

I've been wondering a few things for my scenario:

1. Was there any opposition against the Auschluss in Austria. I've in mind to have a civil war between Nazi Germany and Austrian Nationalist but what were (if there were) people opposing to the Auschluss in that period? I wouldn't mind then to change with else if there was no one.
2. How much the mentality of some presidents might change during the Cold War ? Specifically Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, Barry Goldwater (who becomes president and is assassinated in 1971) and George McGovern (which is like a Democratic Reagan in my timeline) without WW2 happening ?
3. Since WW2 doesn't happen there will be a Civil War happening in Fascist Italy between 1953 and 1958. I plan to have this be a North vs South war with a Southern Italy government lead by Alcide De Gasperi but would he make sense be the head or someone else but most importantly, could be possible for Italy achieve a revolt against fascism without turning Communism ?
4. (This is going to be controversial but) Is there going to be an Israel in a timeline like that or it would be unlikely ? The idea of a Jewish state was already an idea that was around for years but would still be plausible an Israel like state in this timeline or not ?

This is coming from someone who is in his first year at a film course in an art school and has a lot of ambition going foward and some experience in managing a camera (I own a Panasonic HC-W580) and has already done some experiments back in high school (Some homeworks and a music video with some classmates).

I have done a lot of shooting this year both at home and in the campus but i rarely did it something for myself. The closest thing i do is taking photos with my phone and use those as template to work on future shots in my homeworks, but aside from that i have done rarely anything of my own really.

So i wanted to ask to anyone with experience, how this is normal? Like i really want to continue what i am doing and i am absolutely having a blast and fun when it comes to filming my projects but most of those are homeworks for school and i haven't really do much of my own. How is this normal for someone to be like that in the first year of film school?
