Marvel Universe

So now the 8th version of the Marvel universe has many other earths and galaxies in it.

Thousands in one universe. No more multiverse.

The Spiderman comic strip, Chavez, Battleworid verse are excluded.

Think of the what if earths in there.

Seems kind of pointless. Like they want to have a multiverse without calling it that. What are even the implications of this? It's not like traveling between universes was ever that difficult for the Marvel heroes anyway.

I wonder what they do with abstracts? Only one version?

Since it's galaxies not universes, so not everything? What about diminsions? Would there rules? Like only one Thor?

The superflow is gone too. So no abstract battling in concept space, probably no hierarchy either.

And unless they alter timeline dynamics, nothing changes in the long run - every major decision spawns multiple What-If universes. Every travel to the past creates a branching timeline.

Maker is stupid.

Less universes to manage. More characters too use. Part of the main universe might equal better sales.

Teleports to earth is more easy than jumping to dimensions.

Renew your vows is now part of the marvel universe, it counts more. So for spider Gwen.

That rule is done for. Since times run out. The 8th cosmos no longer uses that rule. Maker has it removed as well.

Besides my back issues have that rule being contradicted all the time.

... But why? It made so much sense, and was neat and simple. We could have time travel adventures without worrying about damage to the timeline or whatever.

Fucking hell.

Nah. Besides in real science you can't create that much mass or space by just branching off or altering Earths past. It also goes by the new idea that our universe has many earth like worlds.

I'm not a stickler for keeping things the same anyway.

Probably explains this. I guess certain galactus only operate in their galaxies.

They could decide to say no Thors on other earths or other rules. There is no Ultimate Thor showing up.

You're not creating that mass in any meaningful sense - the universe, our reference point, remains the same (to talk about higher plain mechanics is ludicrous since we don't even know if anything like that exists).

All you're doing is essentially universal mitosis - you're stimulating the universe into splitting into two nearly-identical copies that then become different the more time passes from divergence.

Talking about "real science" in terms of a fictional concept is silly anyway. This is simpler narratively, which is all that matters.

Most science with multiverse is just bs anyways.


This was done to reduce having infinte earths and making things matter more.

Going to have to wait and see. Destroyed earths won't be part of it. Nor ever expanding infinte earths in one universe.

As if anyone gives a shit about what Ewing writes. No one acknowledges his work in any other books.

We care, user.

The Superflow being gone means it lasted 10 years in real life as a writers idea.

It was only ever used by Ellis and Hickman and Ewing.

White Events will go back to the old being Part of The star brands not the machine lore.

Also one universe was a old idea pitched by both New Universe and Ultimste teams.

Most alt realty fiction doesn't sell much in Marvel anyways.

Post sw made the Main earth the prime earth, not just another earth in the multiverse.

I guess other earths still have their Number names.

Most writers will. Besides Earth writers avoided starlin works in space a lot. Even before this Tom Brevoort said the multiverse wasn't infinte yet or might not be.

With Uatu dead and the FF gone, it makes sense to go this way.

Yeah, it's a interesting idea. But I expect
Waid to expand on it in Avengers not Ewing.

Ewing produces ideas that others use to expand on more.

You're using the past tense as if anybody stopped ignoring Starlin's work.

On the bright side, Ewing did give a subtle (but confirmed) nod that he was referencing the Adam Warlock-Tribunal before... uh... it was murdered again.

Goddamn the Tribunal is practically cosmic Worf. Does it have any function other than getting jobbed?

Starlins work's used more now then before if you know where to look. My inner nihilism yet love of merge enjoys this.

Earth stories where Gwen dies or Reed and Sue wedding will always hold more weight than anything outside. The core of Marvel is relatable flawed heros and Earth adventures.

Cosmic and abstracts being mentioned a lot would screw up that view.

It's Job to overseer. But can be destroyed by outside things like now non-existent Beyonders.

Now that's there's no hierarchy and even moreso no Super-flow, The remaining abstracts are on common ground.

Name one idea that others use to expand on more

Name one thing your mom should had done? Abort you.

Bam.

>Marvel dominated over DC when Marvel had a multiverse and DC had a single universe

>Now DC is edging out Marvel as the Multiverse becomes a single Universe and DC has a multi-multiverse

When will writers learn you can't fight the hypercrisis?

>What are even the implications of this?

You seriously think they're actually going to address the implications of there suddenly being hundreds of FTL reality warpers occupying the same universe?

Really?

>What about...

It's like COIE. It's supposed to simplify continuity but its just going to end up being an enormous cluster fuck.

Because Hickman wanted to be edgy and murderfuck the multiverse so the "constantly branching timelines based on choices" rule was thrown out the window.

>You can't create that much mass

How would you know? Have you ever time traveled before?
