I'm reading a book from the 30s and it has phrases like: "in the time after the war". It's written in 1937 and hits differently in hindsight.
They called WWI "the war to end all wars". Then humanity developed its interest in sequels.
Yes, the "second war to end all wars" and the "cold war that only gets hot in the periphery"
Nukes are about the only reason we haven't made it a trilogy.
It'll be the last one in the franchise if they do.
It is possible to engage in global warfare without deploying the nukes. Don't undersell their creativity.
Typical holywood and their sequels. Just pray they don't remember to retrofit a prequel in there.
WWII wasn't even really a sequel - it's more of a classic reboot. It's almost exactly the same story as the first one, just with a few twists like Japan and the atomic bomb ending thrown in.
I think you're underplaying the sequel aspects. Russia was one of the antagonists in the first installment, began as an antagonist in the second, but flipped to protagonist ally in the first act. Also in the first installment the Ottoman Empire was an antagonist ally, where Turkey was neutral through all of WWII. Finally, China was an ally in WWII and huge victim of the Japanese , but underwent a revolution joining with Russia to become the primary antagonists in the third installment "Cold War".
Pfft but what can you tell us about the Kardashians
I think Cardassia joining the Dominion in their efforts to control the Alpha quadrant was a mistake.
Garak will make sure of that.
Wow, that truly is my favorite part of reading/watching old media. I love learning how people thought back then.
People in November 2019: "Next year is my year!"
Little did we know.
Eventually they’ll be a bigger pandemic and all this post pandemic talk will be seen in the same light
No joke, my wife and I had legitimate plans to finally do some traveling abroad in 2020, after talking about it for a decade and a half. FML.
He also talks about unemployment rates in Britain and "unless a war is coming soon" many people will stay underfed. Maybe the British proletariat is behind WWII?
Edit: Since I'm downvoted: the last sentence was a joke, obviously
