5 Best Love, Death And Robots Episodes
5. Alternative Histories
As one of the show's more comical episodes, 'Alternative Histories' clocks in at just eight minutes long but is packed with humour and imagination. In this episode, a fictional computer programme is used to change events in history and see how they would affect the course of time.
The possibilities for this episode are already endless and an entire show could probably be constructed around this premise. But, the historical event that's chosen is 'what if Hitler died young?'. Six possible outcomes are explored in the brief episode, ranging from generally plausible outcomes to the outright insane.
These deaths include Hitler being suffocated by an experimental jelly cannon belonging to the USSR, Hitler being crushed by a horse drawn carriage and time travellers causing a fracture in the space time continuum meaning squids become the lead intelligent beings of planet Earth. Oh yeah, and he also dies of a heart attack during a sex party.
