I actually like multiverse shit

When it's done right

It's great.
>>149036403
>>149036410
Here are my favorites.

>>149035334 (OP)
Okay...

>>149036403
Works made before the 2010s

>>149036547
Well damn. I stand corrected.

>>149037852
does this count? or is it too european? and the cartoon networks gags don't count.

Stuff where the multiverse is part of the premise isnt comparable to having it shoehorned into an ongoing episodic story that wasnt about that.

>>149035334 (OP)
good on ya, even the most controversial storytelling tropes can be handled well depending on the writer involved

>>149038692
That's a crossover. Multiverse would be alternate universe versions of the spies (actually sounds doable and full of pontential fetish fuel).

>>149039967
not necessarily

>>149035334 (OP)
>i like things when theyre done right
well done?

>>149036547
Name one more example.
I've read all those.

GOOD MULTIVERSE SHIT LIST
>Futurama ("So there are infinite parallel universes?" "No, just the two")
>some bits of the first spiderverse movie
cant think of anything else

>>149040995
I liked Invincible's take
A yo-yo killing a viltrumite was bullshit though
Oh I also like the arc where Mark goes to a universe that at the first chapter with all his current memories, that was neat.

How to write a good multiverse
>don't constantly bring it up or center the entire plot around it
>don't just have alternate versions of existing characters as the only inhabitants of other universes
>don't use it as a loophole to avoid the consequences of some big event like a character dying or a plot twist after you've had your fun with whatever amazing change to the status quo you came up with
>don't impose an arbitrary limit on how many universes are in the multiverse

>>149035334 (OP)
even when it's 'good', the concept is getting fucking old.

>>149041231
Incorrect.

>>149041293
So what's your idea?

>>149041342
There's different approaches. Some of your 'don'ts' can be turned into good multiverse stories.

>>149041599
Okay, that's fair, but I was addressing the kind of complaints that I could remember noticing the most about multiverse stories. Obviously it takes more than following a short checklist to write a good story, but I wasn't trying to make a list like that in the first place.

>>149041271
It got old from the many shitty ones. The comic book industry likes to play out cool concepts because they're stumped about how to produce good comics.

The Multiverse as a concept is just this generations version of time travel. Some grand sci-fi concept that's so big and vague you can use it anywhere and make up whatever rules you want for it. And just like when time travel became such a common, mainstream idea that it spawned countless movie and show ideas one after another we're now in that era with multiverses. Or rather, we've been in that era since the first Spiderverse hit and blew up like crazy.

>>149041231
I agree
>>149041293
>>149041599
how's elementary school going,kiddo?

>>149035334 (OP)
I’m cool with the concept it if it’s done right, too. I just mainly only hate the MCU’s gay ass version of the multiverse, really.

>>149042911
Ironic.

>>149035334 (OP)
Positive examples of homosexual couples who are otherwise normal people in cartoons has helped make the latest generation of young homo adults less degenerate.

>>149036403
Indie Cross
Across the Spider-Verse
Jellystone!
Wreck-It-Ralph
OK K.O. Crossover Nexus

bump

My problem with multiverses is that they throw all these cool ideas at you and then do nothing with them ever again.

>>149035334 (OP)
Cancerverse made me woke to the fact that the writers of these are absolute buffoons.

How to avoid writing responsibilities
>Magic: A wizard fixed it!
>Time travel: We changed the past!
>Reality reshuffling: Our universe changed!
>Multiverse: It's a different universe!

>>149046252
My favorite is history
>Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the fuck up then.

>>149043927
Crossover Nexus was so fun, I wish they'd been able to make a full half-hour special like originally intended

>>149035334 (OP)
I will go one further
I like multiverse stories in its entirety

This is when it peaked

>>149035334 (OP)
It was done much better in old books and comics than in modern comics, cartoons, and live action.

>>149046252
>How to avoid writing responsibilities:
>Time travel: We changed the past!
>Reality reshuffling: Our universe changed!
>Multiverse: It's a different universe!
These are adding more work, if anything.

>interesting universe
>character it focuses on is fucking boring

>>149035334 (OP)
Flynn is SO hawt!!

It was cool to see Chris Evans as torch again

>>149049754
nah

>>149035334 (OP)
I like anything when it's "done right" that shit is meaningless.

>>149036403
>name 5 shows for me to enjoy
No. Your validation is as worthless as you are

>>149050416
>shows

>>149050416
>shows

>>149050346
How new? Many comic readers don't care that either.

>>149050339
It was for me

>>149040995
Spider-verse in all regards is a cancer

>>149042886
Nigga Robert Heinlein was writing about multiverses n shit when your parents were wearing diapers

>>149036547
Second one looks interesting

>>149039967
What alternate universes would you like to see in a Totally Spies multiverse?

>>149035334 (OP)
if it is done and in comicbooks and by DC and before 2011 is good.

>>149046252
>Science: It's too complex for me to explain in proper scientific terms, so just take my word for it.

>>149035334 (OP)
Shared universes are fine if done in moderation, like characters from different shows when they're all made by the same creator. Multiverses are often just a mess and an excuse to not have to commit to the narrative.

>>149052168
how so?

>>149055449
What happened after 2011?

>>149049747
Eh, he's alright

>>149040995
Those are lame.

>>149035334 (OP)
Only time it's ever been done right:

>>149059143
One of the bad ones.

>>149041221
Invincible is the worst usage of the multiverse. It was just an excuse to have a Viltrumite invasion of earth without having to actually come up with new characters. It's just a bunch of Marks with slightly different designs. The laziest slop possible.

>>149040915
Those are pretty much it. I need to reread some Morrison, but I've read plenty of American multiverse comics that weren't as good.
>>149054190
It's pretty good.

>>149046252
this. That's why I disregard any series or movies with all this crap

>>149060624
You're missing out on a lot.

2/10 bait.
