    The short answer is DC, but it's a complex question. Golden Age comics all had their own siloed enviroments, and it wasn't until the 1940 All Star Comics #3 introduced the Justice Society that they even shared a universe. All Star would later merge with two other publishers to form DC. Wonder Woman was the first character to visit an parallel Earth in 1953, where different versions of everyone lived alternate lives. DC rebooted all of their characters, starting the Silver Age of comics.…

    I'll give you the drop in quality, I think the quick churn has resulted in lower quality films and TV shows. However the multiverse? Alternate universes? Time travel? Despite the name this phase has barely touched on it. Let's start with the films, - Black Widow? No multiverse, just a story that took place in the past. - Shang-Chi? No multiverse. Maybe a cliffhanger for one, but could just be space stuff. - Eternals? No multiverse. Just space stuff. - Spider-Man No Way Home? Full…

    Taking a breather would have been fine if it felt like they were building up to something, but instead it felt like they lost all direction. 😟 The first batch of movies built to the Avengers, the next batch built to Thanos. Even if you assume post Endgame was "The Multiverse" the number of properties that touched on it were minimal. Phase 4 movies: Black Widow - No Multiverse Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - No Multiverse Eternals - No Multiverse Spider-Man: No Way Home…

    reading that run of What If? is a span of fifteen years, as the series cycles through a generation of creators: from people who were peers of the creators, to people who had been fans when the original was released. plus the Claremont venting part. and the best of them was still the Conan one.

    The whole Multiverse saga has been bungled. This scene was great at setting the stakes, the most powerful thing from the last saga are now paperweights. That was a great scene. Loki knew how powerful these stones were, he used one of them,m but now they are nothing. If I recall correctly this was after he tried to use his own magic. So it was confirmation that whatever this realm was, it didn't just work on him, it worked on the most powerful thing he could have imagined. And then of course…

    I'm not confident they do, it's just sort of an open question. We had a light reference to a "new" Iron Fist in an episode of What If...? But not one that would interfere with the current one. I think Finn Jones can still do it, but I would in if we got a new one.

    I think the Eminence had watched for so long he forgot his purpose, which is to ask the question, What If...? (Or obverse the unknown.) When the episode opens we get Uatu's backstory and even he asks the question of why do they watch. The Eminence explains that only after watching will he understand. In many ways the Eminence had the same problem as Infinity Ultron. Infinity Ultron destroyed everything, because with everything destroyed nothing would be in conflict and nothing would change.…

    First off, excellent. I'm curious to see what strategy DC uses to help differentiate which projects are shared DCU and which are solo, or other universe projects. The MCU has films only for years, even the TV series like Agents of Shield or the Netflix series touched only a little on the events of the MCU. (Except when Agents of Shield aired right after Winter Soldier, that was amazing.) They added TV starting with WandaVision, but even with that they've struggled to fit things into the…
