"Look at how tough Vecna is for killing these pregens you played for 30 seconds" was hack even in 1990, so I sure hope that whatever they're doing this time is much, much more interesting.
Funny enough that was not actually Vecna.
gen z here - i think corporatized slop chasing the highs of the MCU.
Everything, Everywhere All At Once won seven Oscars in this universe alone.
for one, oscars mean nothing to me at this point, but for another, yeah, of course you can do multiverses well. but often they're really, really not.
Isn't the true of everything? Sturgeon's Law and all that. I means sure, you could argue that some tropes have a higher or lower minimum execution threshold to not suck. I personally find time travel to be very rarely done well, though I admit that's a subjective opinion. But "you can do [blank] well but it very often isn't" seems like it would apply universally.
I hate time travel stories, too (with few exceptions, like Doctor Who). It's Star Trek that soured me on the trope.
In the history of D&D Adventure releases, this is more topical and relevant to current pop culture than the norm, frankly.
multiverses are (from what i've seen) a very common common corporate tool to shove together properties that really don't need to be shoved together. hell, we've been seeing this with DND and magic the gathering lately (e.g. BG3 characters as commanders in magic, magic settings in DND). you might like the results of some of that intermingling, and more power to you if you do, but it's very obviously fishing for sales by mixing the properties together.
...i was responding to a question about what gen z'ers (like myself) think about something. that's inherently asking for an opinion.
i gave an opinion. someone tried to counter with a single example. i was pointing out that it was only one example and that plenty of other properties don't do multiverses well.
