Multiverse Remix

Published: Dec. 23, 2021, 1 a.m.

Marvel and DC are jumping into the multiverse with multiple movies and shows crossing over into parallels worlds with different versions of established characters while they\u2019re merging IP from different franchises. It\u2019s a win-win business strategy, but multiverses also bring up intriguing story possibilities of how we could\u2019ve turned out differently if the circumstances of our lives were different, and what it would be like to meet your double. I covered those themes in my episode Doppelg\xe4ngers 2.0, and I looked into one of the first cinematic multiverses, The Tommy Westphall universe, in my episode Inside the Snow Globe. Both episodes were from 2015, and since a lot of recent listeners probably never heard them, I\u2019m presenting them again as a double feature.\nThis episode is sponsored by Walker Books and BetterHelp.
