I think if I had a time machine I wouldn’t use it for anything in particular, I would just be constantly traveling through time, never spending more than a day or two in each time period. I would do that until I died of old age or (more likely) was eaten by cavemen.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I traveled back in time with a collection of popular manga from the last 10 years and give them to myself in the 90s.

I gave myself specific information in the past: These are going to be super popular in about 10-30 years, so what you need to do is just xerox these things and publish them, yourself, first!

I came back to the future to a bit of a rude awakening. I've got a pretty bad reputation in the comics industry, and society in general, too. Lots of legal problems.

I'm actually hated by the now-underground American otaku community for 'ruining anime becoming popular in the US!" because when people see manga/anime art, they're reminded of my comics controversial art style and stories, which were literally just 100% photocopies of manga/anime in the first place.

Okay, I'm the man who murdered anime in America, but what else have I done for you lately?

Well, here's the really odd things that makes no sense at all:

Mario is like Pac-Man or Sonic. He's got a game on every other console and PC and Nintendo got out of console hardware after 2005. Pokemon was somehow NOT a hit in the US and even lost popularity worldwide by about 1999/2000. They still made handhelds and continue to do so, but the market is much smaller today as PCPhones and PCBooks pretty much take up the handheld gaming market.

Comedy Central ends up picking up and renewing the Clerks:TAS for another 4 years. TNN/Spike doesn't do their animated line-up at all. No Ren and Stimpy reboot, no Stripperella, no Gary the Rat. Adult Swim also has a live-action reboot of Banana Splits, too, that ups the absurdity factor, as hosts for the AS line-up that eventually got a full series. No anime on the channel, though. They DO replay Heavy Metal quite a bit, as well as Starchaser and Light Years, on occasion.

Harry Potter movies end up getting successfully boycotted in 2001 by conservative groups and they stop after 2 movies. However, they get successfully rebooted as a yearly computer animated film franchise starting in 2013.

Microsoft never really enters the console gaming market and focuses more on trying to sell a new Windows-based Entertainment OS for 'Set top box developers', trying to revive the MPC scale from the 90s, with PC gaming on your TV being their focus. Various companies try their best, but they're all overpriced and several compatibility issues result in no one ever having a good gaming experience on the platform with the exception of people buying the $1500 HP boxes, which are just pretty much a full-PC in a shuttle case. Gamers are mad that their WinGame-compatible games are incompatible with their desktop Windows PCs. Rather quickly, people learn that many games are nearly identical to their PC versions and learn which files to add/delete to make them work on PC, and vice versa. In time, a dual-boot is on a lot of PCs that let them boot into a WinGame-knockoff OS that allows them to play those set top games on their PCs. Eventually, WinGame set top boxes got mods and hacks that let people turn them into regular Windows or Linux machines once the format failed against the PS2 and PS3.

Surprisingly, a LOT less comic book movies. Practically zero, in fact. I don't know why. The X-men films still happen, so do the Spidey films, but little else. The Nolan films never happened, nor does Superman Returns, maybe because WB wasn't getting a lot of HP money or something to want to risk the money on big geek franchises.

The big first shared universe event is a Batman/Superman movie in 2009 that does okay numbers. The movie is HATED by comic book fans because they powered down Superman quite a bit and didn't make Batman want to kill him and claim it ripped off a bunch of other stories. (Note: The fan reaction to the movie today is apparently full of revisionist, "I always loved the Batman-Superman movie and they should have made more with those actors! Paul Rudd is STILL young enough to play Superman.")

Obama is on his second term and Trump is a frequently appearing guest on talk shows (morning and late night) who is somehow universally beloved by everyone except conservatives. Hillary and Bill got divorced in 2017 after she ended her 2 terms in office. Bill is currently selling reverse mortgages on TV.
