For example, what would Harry, Ron, Hermione and the other wizards at Hogwarts be like if they lived in prehistoric times? What would Squirtle, Pikachu, Bulbasaur and other Pokemon look like if the famous animated series was created by the artists of Studios Ghibli? Or what would the Avengers look like if they were developed in the 90s?
