Nobody has figured out who the Zodiac killer is yet? Come on, people!

I thought it was Ted Cruz

Yeah pretty sure this was wrapped up in the comics

TransplantedSconie ,

The fact the Pepsi at one point had the 6th largest military in the world, and did nothing to conquer Coca-Cola.

Like, why even start that storyline if you dont take it to the inevitable conclusion?

thisbenzingring ,

Pepsi has also made huge profits in Russia since the west started sanctions.

TransplantedSconie ,

Yes, they have. That’s why I don’t buy their products anymore.

zero_gravitas ,

Just to emphasise:

from 1990 and before

CeruleanRuin ,

Folks can’t read past the headline. Truly this site has arrived.

Why the weird arbitrary time?

TotallyHuman OP ,

Because I didn’t want people arguing about current events and the end of the Cold War seemed as good a cutoff as any.

TransplantedSconie ,

Did it really end? The Soviet Union might have imploded, but the KGB just took the country over, turned it into a mafia state, and kept right at it.

I remember 1990. There was nothing arbitrary about it.

Are we supposed to believe the largest most dominant military force in the world, Kublai Kahn’s Mongol fleet was defeated by some inclement weather… TWICE?? Lazy writing.

Inclement weather, just FYI. Although, your spelling also makes a lot of sense in the current times…

Not bashing your point though, that’s a good one.

My turn to learn a new fact today. Wild that I’ve never realised it was spelt that way.

nieceandtows ,

I don’t know about this series, but I play a game with the same name and absolutely hate it. It’s hugely pay to win with permadeath and the grind has nowhere near the payoff for the amount of effort you put in.

Nemo ,

That DB Cooper storyline was never resolved.

CeruleanRuin ,

Lots of those. Characters just falling out of the narrative left and right.

clearedtoland ,

Those aren’t plot holes. They’re upper story windows conveniently located in Russia.

The popularity of Harry Styles

520 ,

Lead singer of a mega famous boyband and one of Taylor Swift's most famous exes.

We’ve def got a real mystery on our hands, Grommit

Which was tough to achieve before 1990, but Harold Styles of Sioux Falls South Dakota pulled it off.

That guy was a king in South Dakota.

The Trump storyline is taking way too long to reach a definitive conclusion, and I’m not even confident that it will be a particularly satisfying one.

boatswain ,

I know time got weird with the pandemic, but that was not actually before 1990, believe it or not.

magnetosphere ,
@magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

Ha ha ha I totally misread the title. I thought it was 1990 and beyond. Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out!

grabyourmotherskeys ,

I mean I was aware of him before 1990 and really could not understand how he was famous or successful. My brother is older than me and Trump came up on the news one day and he said “he’s either a criminal or his bankers are idiots”. We grew up quite a ways from NYC if you’re wondering.

The older you are the more insane this timeline seems. I knew he’d get elected. Racism and sexism put him over the top. Still felt like I was going crazy watching it.

CeruleanRuin ,

Spoilers for future seasons: they try pretty hard to replicate the ratings bonanza of Chancellor Hitler storyline, but it veers way off into weird nonsense, and instead of any sort of satisfying conclusion eventually everyone just gets tired of him and he spends his last years muttering to himself at increasingly sadder and sadder rallies for his remaining geriatric fans.

CeruleanRuin ,

That statement was also true before 1990, though.

flossdaily ,

That there wasn’t a single mainstream Republican who stood up to Trump during his presidency.

I mean, come on. Who wrote this?

We’re supposed to believe that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in government went from taking about how unfit Trump was when he was a candidate … to standing behind him 100% even when he cozied up to Russia, paid hush money to a porn star, and lied about a Presidential election?

Some voted for impeachment. Still, far more should have defended democracy, decency, and the rule of law.

A_Menace_To_Society ,

How does this fit the prompt? They specified before 1990.

That one on 25th Street that I hit the other day. Oh wait, you said “plot”. Nevermind.
