As Light Yagami is sitting in class staring out the classroom window when the lesson is being taught, this time, instead of seeing the Death Note fall from the sky into the school yard, Light see's the Genie's lamp (from the 1992 Disney animated movie "Aladdin") fall into the school yard from the sky instead, and after the lesson and school are over, Light heads into the school yard to pick up the lamp, and heads home with it, and once he heads into his room, Light takes out the lamp, and rubs it's surface to clean off the dust that got on it as it landed in the school yard, only to inadvertently summon the Genie while doing so, who tells Light that he can grant any three wishes he desires afterwards.

What happens next? How does the story of Death Note change because of Light finding the Genie's lamp? How would Light and the Genie react to/interact with each other? What would Light's 3 wishes from the Genie be? How does such a scenario play out, and why is that?

How differently do you think the story would play out?

Would Ash manage to solve his girlfriend problems or would his reckless attitude make things even worse?

What if, instead of a baby Tai Lung, Master Shifu raised Goku in the Jade Temple?

What would change in the story? Would Goku try to kill Po? What would that battle be like?

According to the lore of Resident Evil 2 (2019 remake), Leon Kennedy was supposed to start his first day in the R.P.D. one week earlier than his canonical arrival in Raccoon City, but was warned to stay away. He even tells Marvin Branagh (before he becomes a zombie, having been attacked earlier before Leon’s arrival), “I wish I’d come here sooner.”

Suppose he actually arrived in Raccoon City earlier. More specifically, he arrives early enough to meet Jill Valentine of STARS?

How does Leon arriving earlier change the events of both Resident Evil 2 (2019 remake) and Resident Evil 3 (2020 remake)?

Say hypothetically a ghost box or some other transdimensional transportation device was opened by someone and they accidentally transported you from your native universe of Earth-1218 to Earth-616. It is the current mainline timeline and you can appear in any city you’d like. Although you are still you, no x-gene, no inhuman gene, no alien ancestry, etc…You only have the things on your person, but you can still access your bank account with your card and phone and you have access to the internet of the Earth 616 world. What would you do?

If we had a group of ~1000 or so "Tyler Durdens" running about, would they be able to do some serious damage on society?

​

-High Charisma

​

-High Intelligence

​

-Can rally troops easily, can't say much about their general skill level, but good fodder at least

​

-Great Combat Ability

​

-Just a liiiiiitle bit insane

​

-And, of course, a terrorist

​

​

In this situation, imagine The Narrator doesn't exist. Tyler Durden is Tyler Durden 24/7.

​

With these attributes multiplied by 1000, what do you think would happen?
