4800 pages of MovieBlob's delusional nonsense. That's a big enough number to make a memoir of MovieBlob's life as a lolcow.

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.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!"
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?gotta make another war movie with articles calling it the next Saving Private Ryan
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.

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.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.
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.Lots of people seem to think that everything they are interested in being connected makes it all more important.

To add to @Mola Ram 's observation: they also become a continuity snarl if you take them too seriously.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.
Oh man! That one of my favorites!Band of Brothers - Schindler's List: WWII multiverse.
And we're not even close to done. MovieBlob will continue to make an ass of himself for years to come.4800 pages of MovieBlob's delusional nonsense. That's a big enough number to make a memoir of MovieBlob's life as a lolcow.
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.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.
Blob who is comorbidity incarnate insinuates that people in other states are murdering him because they kept their economies going. Great take Blob.View attachment 3307684
Who are "us"? If "us" stands for white men then Bobby should be eager for their murder, right?
It is un-American? Really. What is NC-17? What is a R rating? What is PG-13?And suddenly liberals woke up to the fact that banning books is "unAmerican".

It's her turn to lead!Still, you have to agree that Americans are very badly served regarding dental care:

I find it much easier if you just assume everything is part of the extended Tommy Westphall universe.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.
There are good alternate universe stories. I enjoyedMy opinion is that the multiverse can work as storytelling device, but most writers lack the competence to use it effectively.

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.
