Consoomers just eat whatever is in the trough, Hollywood likes multiverses because then they can ignore the consequences of bad writing in their Superhero movies. When DC acquired Charleton comics, Alan Moore had this idea for a murder mystery starring the Charleton comic characters. DC editorial at the time said, "That will kill off important characters, we don't mind you using original characters though." This became Watchmen. Nowadays, I guess they would just say, "Multiverse!"
Don't forget that it removes what (they believe) is the biggest barrier to monetization- keeping your old audience with the new one. They want the boons of shitting up old franchises with endless reboots and "yass kween slay" characters, but the blowback of the past five years is coming to haunt them now. Multiverse schlock lets them pretend to care about older films and audiences with minimal effort. It also creates something akin to the stupid revival/revisionism of the Star Wars prequels- lots of people went back and re-watched the Garfield Spiderman films and walked away thinking they were decent solely because he was able to riff with Maguire well enough in the Spiderverse whatever movie.

We've now got a Ewan McGregor vehicle for Star Wars again, but you can bet your ass that Disney won't let it tie into their sequel trilogy outside of passing references or cameos. Even Rogue One garnered praise for the prequels solely for filling out space in the timeline that no one cared about but it had the right logo. Apparently "many Bothans died to bring us this information" from RotJ isn't even cannon anymore despite being the final piece of the original series. Can't just leave it as a throw-away line, can't even do anything interesting like a James Bond-esque spy thriller if we absolutely have to monetize it, gotta make another war movie with articles calling it the next Saving Private Ryan where the Bothans are a giant space army that blow up Star Killer Base 0.5 to get the plans of the second Death Star.
 
Lots of people seem to think that everything they are interested in being connected makes it all more important. A multiverse is obviously more important than a mere universe. Now I can endlessly focus on how it's all connected rather than asking if any individual part is of any value.

Do you think Band of Brothers is set in the same universe as Saving Private Ryan or is it just part of the Tom Hanks multiverse?

Band of Brothers - Saving Private Ryan: Same universe.

Band of Brothers - Schindler's List: WWII multiverse.
 
Multiverses are fun for one off bullshit, they aren't fun as major plot points, because when there are literally infinite copies of everything, it by definition has less value.

Some of my favorite capeshit comics were "Elseworlds" or stories from outside mainstream DC and Marvel, like Kingdom Come or The New Frontier, but that's because those stories were contained and wrapped themselves up. But random bullshit like, wow in this universe, Superman is Black and Green Lantern is a faggot, isn't nearly as cool.
 
He recently said he [still] has a 2014 Toyota. It's parked in front of mommy's house in the google street images.
Bob can't fathom the concept of people having multiple cars. I mean, he's all about Science and Progress, and Progress is whamen working outside the home yes? If both partners are working, that necessitates TWO cars, especially if children are in the picture. As the children enter driving age, of course some parents will get other cars, often in their names rather than the kids', so we could be talking about at least 3, maybe as many as 5, cars for one household. I'm not sure about Boston's public transportation options but heaven forfend Bobby have to take the bus like the plebs.
In his fantasies where a woman can actually tolerate him long enough to live with him, he assumes she'll never leave the house except for when it's time to get groceries, in which case she can just use his car because he's too busy 'working' to come with. In the case of picking up fast food, he'd do it and eat his and her order before he got home.

BoB is set in the Dreamworks-HBO Non-Fiction Universe, or D-HBO N-F U, for short. SPR is set in the related Dreamworks-HBO Non-Fiction-based Historical-Fiction Universe, or D-HBO N-F H-F U, for short. The Pacific is in the cousin Dreamworks-Warner Brothers Non-Fiction Universe, or D-WB N-F U, for short. These are unrelated to the Sony-AppleTV+ Tom Hanks World War 2 Movie Saga Universe (S-ATV+ THWW2MSU), which debuted with Greyhound.

Tom Hanks appears as French and British soldiers in BoB, as Captain Miller in SPR, and in cameos in The Pacific, confirming that these separate universes all have common threads and is ripe for a multiverse tying them together, thus finally making them good films.

To add to @Mola Ram 's observation: they also become a continuity snarl if you take them too seriously.

Saving Private Ryan and Greyhound are in the same multiverse, but, how can you explain the paradox that Tom Hanks is, at the same time, an Army Ranger Captain AND a US Navy Commander? You can't unless you want to spend a lot of time shooting off on tangents that don't matter.

This is why people have been upset at comic and movie people not just wokeifying the characters, but, blowing up characterization by turning everyone gay/trans/helicopterkin. Because it ruins the only thing that binds a multiverse. The characters.

When the rules of time and space get fuzzy in a fictional work as it expands it's reach and lore... the only constant, the only "glue" to hold it all together is the characterization.

As such, I've always just accepted that a Marvel hero story does not take place at a definitive time or place, and that's fine, as long as when I watch Spiderman I know the basic premise : a young man receives spider powers in a freak accident and decides to use them for good as a superhero, even though doing so complicates his professional life , romantic life and personal life, because to not do so means preventable harm happens to innocent people. He fights a colorful rogues gallery of supervillains (also with known motives) and deals with the pressure by wisecracking his way through fights.

Bam, that's all you need, everything else can be changed - what time period it is, what technology is used, what car he drives, what house he lives in, what the skyline of the city looks like, the exact style of his spider suit? The exact ins and outs of his powers? Irrelevant.

Long as we know it's Peter Parker in the suit because we know what he's like.

And that's why saying "Actually, he's a bisexual black kid who really wants to make the world safe for racial justice" causes the fans to revolt.

Not because they have a problem with any of that, just that, well, that's NOT Peter Parker and without him? The title and story falls to pieces.

Of course, Mega Mind Ultra Critic Bob doesn't get this because he's too dense to recognize that core idea and can only salivate as the sequel number goes up, with "The Multiverse" being an easy cop out for anyone who has a problem with how he interprets (incorrectly) the minutiae of the latest film.

Bill Maher:

To Bobby and his Angels, any questions poised at the LGBTPPPPPP boils down to "ew gross" -- as if there is any thing wrong thinking gays and trannies are gross.

If Brother Alpha wants to draw analogy between childhood "transsexualism" and left-handedness, he should at least have the decency to demonstrate that there are more left-handed people in California than in Ohio.

Bobby attempts to psychoanalyze Maher and Chappelle. And this is his case note:

Chappelle and Maher don't think about how this sh-- gets people killed because this sh-- don't get people killed. If some tranny commits suicide, it is his choice -- and, as we shall see soon, Bobby is a firm believer of "choices have consequences".

Who are "us"? If "us" stands for white men then Bobby should be eager for their murder, right?

My opinion is that the multiverse can work as storytelling device, but most writers lack the competence to use it effectively. I am a fan of the alternate history genre because it attempts to answer the question, "what if [event] happened this way, or not at all?" We saw this in Sliders where the main characters travelled to parallel Earths with (sometimes) vastly different histories. In comics, DC introduced the multiverse to answer the question of where the Golden Age heroes went and it worked because Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, etc. were completely separate characters with different histories. IIRC, the Pre-Crisis Earth-Two even had a different history than Earth-One with Quebec being a independent nation and South Africa ending apartheid earlier. It got dicey when they included the Golden Age Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman as well as Power Girl and then introduced parallel Earths for the Quality and Fawcett characters. Crisis on Infinite Earths (mostly) wiped the slate clean and the Elseworlds label was good for telling self-contained stories without muddying the mainstream continuity with too many xeroxed copies of their characters.

Without going too into the weeds, my book series deals with the multiverse, but I try to keep it down to two universes for the sake of contrast and plan to put them on a collision course. As many people have noted on this thread, the main reason why Marvel and other companies are going whole hog on the multiverse is for sheer spectacle.

It is un-American? Really. What is NC-17? What is a R rating? What is PG-13?

Do not get me wrong I find a lot of the book crap going on ridiculous but pretending that media is not restricted by age in the US is ridiculous.

Oh do we take turns now? Bitch could not even lead her own life. The only reason she is not in crippling debt right now is George Soros and various grifts she has pulled since losing last time.

Happy 4800 and here is to 4800 more as Blob slowly turns into a fat, bald, and poor Keith Olbermann.

I find it much easier if you just assume everything is part of the extended Tommy Westphall universe.

There are good alternate universe stories. I enjoyed
Fringe
when it was on TV. I feel like it's similar to time travel, it needs to be handled carefully.
