[QUOTE="W'rkncacnter, post: 9267319, member: 7033455"] 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 [I]very obviously [/I]fishing for sales by mixing the properties together. that's what my mind jumps to when i see "multiverse" in the wild. using the concept to shove together properties for profit (often lazily). so, "corporate slop". ...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. you do have a point, though. a lot of mainstream media sucks these days, even media which tries to invoke what should be fairly easy to pull off tropes. there's a reason i tend to go with indie/AA products.
