My plans for Man from UNCLE are maybe to push its release to one year later. Have Ian Fleming call the series Solo like he wanted with the dropped character features in the spin-off being featured as well as a third member of the team. Keeping the same showrunner would prevent the show from falling into parody, which was its downfall. Would also confirm details only established in the book such as THRUSH being founded by Sebastian Moran. Also likely a James Bond cameo from Sean Connery in the actual show rather than George Lazenby in the reunion special. The remake movie might also change as Quentin Tarantino was offered it in the 90’s but did Jackie Brown instead. George Clooney also going to Star in it before he suffered an injury that prevented him. Matthew Vaughn was also offered the film, making me imagine the film becomes TTL’s Kingsman( maybe with the Mark Millar comic being closer to the film version OTL to compensate for this).

- Start date
The big thing with Man from UNCLE Is stop the camp that starts to show up in the latter half of season 2 and takes over Season Three.
The show in the first season figure out how to balance humor and drama and it was best when it did so.
The Drama went away in season 3.
At times in Season 4 they were trying too hard to get away from the humor and some episodes are a bit dark..
The Show could have run for a few more seasons .
I rather have the Man From Uncle theatrical Movie in the 80's instead of the TV movie.
The time that a TV movie should have been done was in the 70's . Rolfe summitted a script for one which was rejected.
Also, Have Burke Law stay a mystery show.
Do not have it become Amos Burke Secret Agent .
Keep it on the air for 4 or 5 more seasons .
For Archie, you mentioned you wanted "weird horror elements": would Sabrina the Teenage Witch have something to do with these elements, by any chance?
Also, keep in mind Riverdale wasn't the first Archie TV show. Before that there was "Archie's Weird Mysteries" in the 90s, and before that there was "The New Archies" in the 80s, and before THAT there were the Filmation Archie cartoons in the 60s and 70s. (There's also the Sabrina TV shows and Josie and the Pussycats, but those don't feature Archie himself.)
As for Disney, I'm predicting the big changes start in the 70s, although I could see the 40s package films being wiped. I think if you had to erase some of the pre-70s Disney movies for whatever reason those would be the first on the chopping block.

Sabrina will be introduced in the 1960's but will factor in and yes I was planning to touch on some of the other shows besides Riverdale. Now for Disney, the changes will occur well around the time of Snow White, though Disney will live longer, that's pretty much a given for alternate timelines featuring the man so long as he isn't President.
Probably not but could see her as the horror host of these stories.
It is the first live action TV show, with the 1990 Archie: Return to Riverdale being the only other live action depiction of Archie:
Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again - Wikipedia
As for an Archie horror comic you may need to kill off Fredric Wertham before he has a chance to publish Seduction of the Innocent.
Wertham was the psychologist who declared Albert Fish insane in 1935.
Have Fish go crazy in court and kill Wertham ,
No Seduction of the Innocent.
^^Funny you should mention that about Sabrina. She actually did have a comic series where she played a horror host role: "Chilling Adventures in Sorcery as Told by Sabrina" (thank you, Toonopedia). It only ran for two issues, but it was basically a more child-friendly version of EC's old horror comics.
This far back may have an effect on Brown v. Broad of Education. I think we should stick to sometime in early 1954 before his testimony to the Senate Committee on Juvenile Delinquency.
In The Comics Code Authority Post I had Wertham be discredited during a trial as his claims were later discovered to be baseless or taken out of context. So it’s not that he dies. Just that he’s discredited.

Archie: 1941-2014
Archie Comics began life as C.S.G. Magazine in 1939, named for the three founders, Maurice Coyne, Louis Silberkleit, and John L. Goldwater. Most of the founders held degrees, Silberkleit was a registered pharmacist with a law degree and John Goldwater was one of the founders of the Comics Code Authority. Initially the comics featured characters like Rang-a-Tang and the Shield, a patriotic Superhero which came to inspire Captain America. The line was relaunched as Pep and among the new stars introduced was a teenage Boy named Archie Andrews.
In 1941 in Pep Comics #22, Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead were all introduced by Writer Vic Bloom and artist Bob Mantana. Archie became so popular he took over both the comic line and the company in 1946. Archie Comics was born.
The Archie character made his way into Radio stories in the late 40's. The format of the Archie stories allowed it to survive attacks in the 1950's but to branch out, Archie's Weird Mysteries was created as a safer alternative to Tales from the Crypt and other Horror Stories, starring the Archie gang encountering the supernatural.
In 1962, Harvey Kurtzman's Help! magazine featured a parody of Archie and his cast in the Goodman Beaver story, "Goodman Goes Playboy". Publisher Kim Warren was hit with a Copyright infringement suit and asked for remove the material but refused, leading to a short lawsuit. The Archie Comics Heroes were moved to a new imprint that copied the campy tone of the 60's Batman series, this did not last long and the line ended in 1967.
The show initially had crossovers with the Archie series. However a problem for both shows arose. When 1966 rolled around all the shows were transitioning to color. John Simpson's hair was not red enough to make a convincing Archie on screen and Lucille Ball cancelled the Archie Show. As she later commented: "I learned from my experience on I Love Lucy that some things just only work in Black and White when they were made to be Black and White, so the Archie show just had to go. Shame, really I always loved that Wacky Redhead."
However, there was a problem. Several Crossover Episodes between Archie and Sabrina the Teenage Witch had established a long distance romance between the two, though in Archie's case, Sabrina was one of many potential crushes, but the relationship was still seen as adorable and quite popular(It was homaged a few times in other media such as in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls which also featured a female teenage magic user in a long distance relationship with a teenager redhead in High School that was later discovered to be bisexual). The Producers of Sabrina the Teenage Witch decided to pull forward with the romance in the Sabrina show. To this extent, they recast a redheaded actor for the role of Archie to bring him into Sabrina's colored world. Instead of seeing joy at the romance aspect continued, fans were angry. Many cried "Who the hell is this guy? He's not our Archie." and thus the trope gained the name "The Other Archie".
A third show was made following the cancellation of Archie and that was an adaptation of Josie and the Pussycats. Unlike Archie, the show lived entirely in the colored world following Archie's cancellation and did well in the age where bands like the Monkees were popular, along with being progressive at the time due to featuring a black member of the band front and center with the other members. Creator Dan DeCarlo(who created Josie and the Pussycats after seeing his wife Josie dress up in a costume for a party) commented that the choice to adapt Josie and the Pussycats probably saved the life of several characters that Archie was planning to remove entirely, namely the characters Albert, Sock and Pepper, which would have been replaced with new ones. Because they were adapted into the show, they gained a following and as such Archie Comics realized it could not cut them out.
By the early 70's most of the original founders of Archie Comics had stepped down with the sons of two of the founders Michael Silberkleit and Richard Goldwater taking over and moving the company to private ownership with Coyne retiring. Richard Goldwater was made President. Goldwater refused a deal with Spire Christian Comics to tell stories with strong Christian Morales. Instead, the company went the opposite way and returned to horror stories, even seeling the rights of its Superheroes to DC.
In 1990, a new Archie series was launched, starting with the TV Movie Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again, which depicted the characters 15 years later. Archie Comics gained the license to create Sonic the Hedgehog comics and later gained the rights to other Video Game franchises like Mario, Legend of Zelda and Metroid.
On April 4, 2003, Dad's Garage Theatre Company in Atlanta was scheduled to debut a new play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa titled Archie's Weird Fantasy, in which Archie Andrews came out as gay and moved to New York. Archie nearly sent a cease and desist order but chose to approach the makers of the play. The play was such a success that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa would become Archie's Chief Creative Officer. Archie also nearly sued the music duo known as the Veronicas but decided it was not worth it.
Following Richard Goldwater's death in 2007 and Michael Silberkleit's in 2008, Silberkleit's widow Nancy and Goldwater's half brother Jonathan became co-CEOs in 2009. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa was given the position of overseeing theatre productions due to his experience but grew in the ranks. Archie himself had began to decline in comic sales, for example multiple comic book companies were now selling their comics at grocery stores, something which Archie Comics had pioneered that had led to great success. As such the time came to reboot Archie, starting in 2010 with Life with Archie. Life with Archie followed the adult Archie and two possible futures. One where he married Betty and one where he married Veronica. The comic series dealt with issues such as death, marriage woes, same-sex marriage, cancer, financial problems and gun control. Sacasa, leaning on the success of his original play, proposed a third option in which Archie was revealed to be gay. In the actual show a gay character named Kevin Keller had been introduced. The line made history again by making their entire line digital.
Aguirre-Sacasa also wrote the Horror themed Afterlife with Archie, which had Archie and friends battle a Zombie Apocalypse and included darker themes as a throwback to Archie's Weird Mysteries which had received an Animated adaptation. It was followed by The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, also by Aguirre-Sacasa. Afterlife with Archie received a finale with Archie finally ending the Zombie threat.
2014 was a big year for Archie. It began with his death. Archie Andrews, specifically both the versions depicted in Life with Archie, died saving Senator Kevin Keller from an assassination attempt. As this was going on Archie Comics also relaunched its superhero characters including the Black Hood, the Fox. and the Shield. After his death, Archie was also relaunched in 2014 under Mark Waid and Fiona Staples which became one of the Best New Comics of 2015. Warner Bros released an Archie Feature Film the same year with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa writing and Jason Moore directing. The film was a send up to John Hughes Movies starring the Archie cast. It also featured Katy Perry in a cameo role as Archie Comics character Katy Keene.
Despite the film's success, the rights towards a planned TV Series ended up going to Fox, who produced the TV follow with the same cast. Fox promised to keep the show faithful to the film's tone, making the series more of a sitcom with The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. serving as a darker companion series. The success of the series also led to a film adaptation of Archie Comics character Katy Keene, played by singer Katy Perry.

Marvel Superheroes in Film: 1974-1992
Blade(1974)
Starring Richard Roundtree as the famous Vampire Hunter.
Shang Chi(1977)
A Film starring Bruce Lee in titular role.
Dazzler(1984)
Dazzler(1984)
1984's Dazzler was among the trippiest Superhero films ever conceived with KISS appearing alongside Marvel Superheroes to help save the world from an evil enchantress. The project was made as a deal between Marvel and Casablanca Records. Among the celebrities teaming up with the marvel heroes were KISS, Cher, Donna Summer, and the Village People with Robin Williams playing Bo Derek's love interest and Rodney Dangerfield as three lawyers that were the personification of an eldritch horror.
The film served as a vehicle for the introduction of Dazzler, played by Bo Derek, whom was modeled after the actress. While the film was more of a cult classic than anything else. Marvel itself, deemed the film too surreal and feared association with it.

Howard the Duck(1986)
George Lucas was able to nab Ralph Bakshi, who turned the film into something resembling Fritz the Cat in town, allowing Bakshi to take pot shots at Disney(which is also something Howard the Duck's original creator(and by extension Howard himself, loved to do). Lucas has admitted if he couldn't make it animated, he'd have tried to make it live action.
Roger Corman was approached to do a Spider-Man movie but the brief option expired. Marvel then offered Spider-Man to Cannon Films with Tobe Hooper to Direct. Hooper was currently working on Invaders From Mars and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and so was unavailable. The heads of Cannon films, Golan and Globus then went to writer Leslie Stevens, creator of The Outer Limits, and it became clear they had not ever heard or even bothered to research the character, just made assumptions they believed were right. In Stevens' story, a corporate scientist intentionally subjects ID-badge photographer Peter Parker to radioactive bombardment, transforming him into a hairy, suicidal, eight-armed monster. This human tarantula refuses to join the scientist's new master-race of mutants, battling a succession of mutations kept in a basement laboratory. Naturally, Stan Lee pulled the plug on this version and had a new screenplay written by Ted Mewsom and John Brancato, which introduced Doctor Octopus, who is created in the same accident, an explosion that radiates a Spider that bites Peter. Doctor Octopus attempts to recreate the experiment, an effort to gain the Fifth Force, threatening to engulf New York and the world. Joseph Zito, who had directed Cannon's successful Chuck Norris film Invasion USA, replaced Tobe Hooper. The new director hired Barney Cohen to rewrite the script. Cohen, creator of TV's Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Forever Knight, added action scenes, a non-canonical gesture for the villain, gave Doc Ock the catch phrase, "Okey-dokey", and altered his goal from the Fifth Force to a quest for anti-gravity. Producer Golan (using his pen name "Joseph Goldman") then made a minor polish to Cohen's rewrite, which removed the "Okey-dokey". Zito scouted locations and studio facilities in both the U.S. and Europe, and oversaw storyboard breakdowns supervised by Harper Goff. Cannon planned to make the film on the then-substantial budget of between $15 and $20 million.
Zito cast actor/stunt man Scott Leva as Spider-Man's stunt double. Bob Hoskins was to play Doctor Octopus. Stan Lee wanted to reprise his role as J.Jonah Jameson. Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn were approached for the role of Aunt May with Hepburn winning out. Peter Cushing was cast as Justin Hammer, a corrupt Businessman who incurs the wrath of Doctor Octopus. Adolph Caesar was cast as a Police Detective later revealed to be named George Stacy, who was to be killed by Doctor Octopus in the film. Scott Leva continued to promote the film. The Film would fall through at the last moment, due to a failure to find a director for the picture.
Around 1989, Stan Lee and Chris Claremont entered in talks with Carolco Pictures and Lightstorm Entertainment to make a film adaptation of the X-Men comic book series, with James Cameron as producer, Kathryn Bigelow as director and Gary Goldman as writer. Bob Hoskins was originally going to play Wolverine, but both realized that if there were ever crossovers, Bob Hoskins playing Doctor Octopus(which he was still possibly slated to do if the Spider-Man film was made) and Wolverine would have been confusing. Instead they had the ingenious idea of hiring actor Paul D'amato, who had inspired Wolverine's creation, after his appearance in the Canadian comedy Slapshot, to play Wolverine himself. Actress Angela Bassett was to play Storm. However, Stan Lee himself derailed the film's creation when he and Cameron talked and Lee piques Cameron's interest in making a Spider-Man film instead.

The Punisher(1987)
The film stars Sylvester Stallone as Frank Castle. Bidgette Nielson as the film's love interested Lynn Michaels, Liam Neeson as Jigsaw, Bruce Campbell in a small role as Daredevil, Sigourney Weaver as Typhoid Mary, Kurt Russell as Nick Fury(an old war buddy of Castle's in the film) and Rutger Hauer as the assassin Bullseye.The film's main antagonist is Jigsaw, a mob boss responsible for the death of Frank Castle's family, who survives a battle with Frank that leaves his face horribly scarred. Also appearing in the film is the Russian, played by Dolph Lundgren, who has a drawn out memorable fight with Castle in his apartment building. Unlike the OTL film, the Punisher iconic Skull logo is front and center(The fake Trailer above basically filled out the film as I only decided on Stallone as the Punisher).
Captain America(1988)
Released by Universal Pictures. The film starred Jeff Bridges as Captain America and Peter Fonda as the Red Skull. Also featured in the film were The Falcon, Baron Zemo and Bucky Barnes. The film began with with Captain America being frozen in battle with the Red Skull and Baron Zemo, and waking up in the modern day, finding out that both villains are still alive and control a secret government organization. He also discovers that his old friend Bucky is now an elderly man who married girlfriend Peggy Carter. In the present, he teams up with an army pilot and member of a special unit called the Falcon and the two heroes defeat the Red Skull and Baron Zemo.
There is a Joke in the Comics from this time in which Captain America and the Punisher fight each other. Preparing for a second fight, both watches the other's movie. OTL the heroes cringe at how bad the films are. ITTL jokes are made about the actors playing the heroes instead and how they look nothing like the characters.

Ant-Man(1991)
An Ant-Man film created by Disney starring Michael Douglas as Hank Pym and Catherine Zeta Jones as Janet Van Dyne. By the same creative team as Honey I Shrunk the Kids which ITTL never received a sequel, leading Disney to accept the request from Marvel to make this film, provided the cast of the latter film appeared as well.
Doctor Strange(1992)
OTL this film became Doctor Mordrid when the rights expired. Without that happening, the film stars Jeffrey Combs and has Dr.Strange being sent to Earth by the Ancient One to battle Baron Mordo and prevent him from releasing Dormammu on the world.
She Hulk(1992)
A She-Hulk live-action motion picture was released in 1992 with Larry Cohen as writer and director. Brigitte Nielsen played the title role. In order to explain She-Hulk existing before a Hulk Movie, the Incredible Hulk TV Show was made canon to the film. Bruce Banner was caught and forced once more to stand trial. Matt Murdock could not reach him in time. Instead, Jennifer Walters offers to defend him(she is not his cousin in the film as this would lead to her not being allowed to defend him if this was the case). When assassins gun down Walters and she is hospitalized, Banner offers to give a blood transfusion, transforming Walters into She-Hulk. The Hulk was once again played by Lou Ferrigno.
James Cameron's Spider-Man(1992)
Production began on James Cameron's Spider-Man. Toward the end of shooting True Lies, Variety carried the announcement that Carolco Pictures had received a completed screenplay from James Cameron. This script bore the names of James Cameron, John Brancato, Ted Newsom, Barry Cohen and "Joseph Goldman(OTL this was a confusion of Manaheim Golan's pen name, and Marvel Executive Joseph Calamari). Arnold Shwarzenegger was originally to play as Doctor Octopus but was dropped from the script, later appearing in the second film. Cameron instead introduced Electro and Sandman. Cameron's treatment or "Scriptment" as he put it, was 57 pages long. Electro and Sandman were villains. The original script renamed the character of Electro as an evil billionaire named Carlton Strand and The Sandman was simply named Boyd. This was changed to be more comic accurate(Electro being Max Dillon and Sandman being Flint Marko), and Norman Osborn was added as a villain, though he did not don the Goblin costume, simply fulfilling the corrupt businessman role. Electro was played by Lance Henrickson. Sandman was played by Michael Biehn. All three villains, with the exception of Osborn, being actors Cameron had used in the Terminator. Maggie Smith played Aunt May, Robin Lively played Mary Jane Watson. Stan Lee wanted to return as J.Jonah Jameson but Cameron replaced him with R.Lee Ermey.
R.Lee Ermy as J.Jonah Jameson without mustache
Osborn attempts to recruit Peter Parker(Leonardo DiCaprio) and uses the Sandman and Electro as his enforcers. Peter also begins to commit to a relationship with Mary Jane, who he reveals his identity to. The film uses profanity and has a scene of Spider-Man and Mary Jane having sex on the Brooklyn Bridge. These elements gave the film an R Rating. Spider-Man in the film has organic webbing. The villain tempts Spider-Man into joining his "master race" of mutants; from the original screenplay and rewrite, weird electrical storms causing blackouts, freak magnetic events and bi-location; from the Ethan Wiley draft, a villain addicted to toxic super-powers and multiple experimental spiders, one of which escapes and bites Peter, the bite causing a hallucinatory nightmare invoking Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis; from the Frank LaLoggia script, a blizzard of stolen cash fluttering down onto surprised New Yorkers; and from the Neil Ruttenberg screenplay, a criminal assault on the New York Stock Exchange. The film was a huge hit upon release, being lauded by critics. Siskel and Ebert gave it "Eight Legs Up".

Lance Hendricks was allegedly James Cameron's choice for the Electro type character in his script. As for Norman Osborn, I don't have a solid casting choice for him though it could still hypothetically be Willem Defoe, who was VERY committed to playing the Green Goblin and getting the role, presumably that level of obsession with the role translated over to allow him to nab the part.I think he would have been better as Norman Osborn:
Speaking of which who was cast as Norman?
I also think Brian Thompson could've made a good choice for the Russian
Holy crap that looks so cool!
I know that second image IOTL is from the cancelled Spider-Man 4.
Barely, the success of Spider-Man ended up saving the company.
