TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands.
To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.
I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.
I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.
I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all.
If you want to get a second comic Book company let's get Dark Horse in 1986... It is a much better inversion than Charlton and covers an aspect (independent comics) that Marvel never really got it right.
See, what happened was... The Royalists got elected into a significant portion of the French legislature due to Napoleon kinda... well doing what cinima does, and capturing the hearts and minds of the people enough to quite literally elect monarchists who want to destroy the republic.
And they repealed the laws of Exiles for the Bonapartes. but they have not taken power, they have just been allowed to enter France again.
It's France, governments can come and go in a matter of months. Probably not reinstituting the monarchy but at least allowing the House of Bonoparte to return.
Nap VI gets to come home and maybe can get elected president.
Though France should be wary since the last Bonoparte to be elected president changed term limits so he could keep getting elected president and eventually made himself Emperor. Only time will tell if that repeats.

Well, you honestly didn't know what to expect, when you saw Napoleon. Really you just heard that Sid was hyping the shit out of it and called it the greatest film of all time.
Now you were not one to brag, but Star Wars earned that title fair and square.
But damn did you not think that Napoleon won't put some hair on your chest and provide itself a worthy competitor.
Yet Napoleon was easily one of the best films you have ever seen, and it was all because of Stanley Kubrick.
He decided that, instead of casting an actor for Napoleon, he just went to the Hosue of Bonaparte and asked Louis Napoleon, to be his Napoleon, who not only put in a completely show-stopping performance as his great ancestor, and it damn well made you think that he was channeling the Great Napoleon's spirit. There was also an heir of an authority, and authenticity that made you think that no actor could have done it. And he did so with many royal families in Europe who played their ancestors in minor and major roles, including Otto von Habsburg, who may not have looked the part of Francis from portraiture, but he did carry the same heir of authority that his ancestor did. It was strange to see Christopher Lee, and several other fine English thespians playing as Frenchmen, in an English-speaking production when so many French greats were on screen.
Everyone was on the top of their game, and you heard that numerous actors really got into it, and many were even royalty, like Christopher Lee.
Save for Josephine, one of the few Americans on set, who was played by a has been according to Clint, Carolyn Jones, who while a bit old to be playing a young Josephine, decided to ignore it seeing as she was going to be playing her over the films.
And oh boy, was that going to be something to see. You were honestly excited…
But only a few theaters showed the film. Superman was dominating everywhere and only like 20 in LA had shown it, at the ass end of the schedule.
------------------
Meanwhile in France.
Fast forward to 1981
"Prince Napoleon Charles Bonaparte has been elected President of the French Republic."
Wait, what the fuck, how did that happen?
Meanwhile, with Charles De Gaulle's Grave, it's spinning so fast that it could generate infinite energy.
AN: Well if you all want to write some aftermath, its all yours.

Actually the law of exile was repealed in 1950 so Napoleon VI and his family have been living in Paris for near three decades, although the current political climate favoring their restoration is undoubtadly going to be a weird feeling when VI had just all but given up on getting the throne and just wanted to be a French patriot. I guess he and his son become politically active.
There is a slight dating issue in that the French Parliamentary election took place in March of 1978, although I guess here you can say that for one reason or another, no coalition was able to be formed and thus a new election had to be called the next year, and a Bonapartist party under a very charismatic leader and riding off Napoleon's success got representation with double digit seats.
I'm unsure if New Royalist Action would be the ones to champion Napoleon as they were a Orleanist political party, maybe it would be a splinter party made for Bonapartists? Bonapartist Action?

Pretty cool stuff, although it's not Louis Napoleon who would be starring as he's way too old as a 64 year old man, but his son Charles, Prince Napoleon or Napoleon VII as he was born in 1950 and would be at the right starting age for Napoleon in the beginning of the Revolution.

Kek. Makes me think of when Napoleon was caught by French soldiers and they refused to shoot him and instead joined him to try and retake France.... Even in death he rules France through his line
