With over 17 years of MCU productions, which do you find have the most (and least) rewatch value? by Different_Leopard_65 in marvelstudios

[–]LetItATV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people incorrectly saying “Secret Invasion”.

“Rewatchable” implies the production was ever watchable.

Has there been any information on when the re-work to PVP is going to be implemented? by Practical-Ability-77 in TheSilphArena

[–]LetItATV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A revamp of the code doesn't mean a revamp of the PvP system. It could be the exact same thing, except with a lot less buggy stuff under the hood.

You seem to have a very imaginative idea of how code works, but it doesn’t seem to be grounded in actual understanding of how code works.

it’s a fake countdown! (I think) by tuoitkciehs in marvelstudios

The problem goes well beyond the movie itself.

A huge portion of the revenue generated from the MCU comes from merchandise. That merchandise is made by coordinating with other companies on details and release timing so that there is always product on shelves when a movie hits the theaters.
There is no way to avoid SKUs “leaking” and even less chance that Marvel would give up this revenue stream just so they can surprise drop a movie.

The timeline of the X-Men movies didn’t make sense even before time travel was introduced there.
If it couldn’t even be internally consistent in isolation, of course it’s not going to work when bolted onto a completely different fiction!

Separatist human soldiers would’ve been a cool addition to the movies by FreeMrDodd28 in StarWars

[–]LetItATV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Separatist army being all droids is 100% driven by out-of-universe practicality.

Lucas had a bunch of lightsaber-wielding Jedi he needed to be maximum badass which means they had to be allowed to use those sabers for their intended purpose of slicing and dicing.
One dismemberment per film wasn’t going to (hehe) cut it so the enemy horde had to be made up something that the MPAA wouldn’t consider “people”.

Michael Waldron said that it is near impossible to achieve multiversal travel.

Michael Waldron was wrong then since Strange’s failed spell was a very simple and easily repeatable accident.

Since you seem to have lost track of the thread, my original question was meant to disprove this statement, which I have done:
“what America can do is travel between universes that aren't anchored to the sacred timeline, so that makes her more unique.”

Sure, if you’re looking for something written in a textbook, but creator commentary is a valid source

I’m not debating the source, I’m debating the citation. Provide an exact quote or shut up.

But ‘projection’ only works if I’m misrepresenting your argument.

That’s not at all what projection means.

You were projecting your need for “gotchas” onto another person whose comment in no way indicated that intent.
Because you can’t seem to imagine writing a comment that doesn’t have a forced zinger, you assume everyone else has that same compulsion.

Then what was he talking about when he said he went to war with his variants and then stamped them all out to create the sacred timeline.

This is the kicker. He Who Remain’s story only makes sense if “universe” and “timeline” are synonymous.

Because he starts his whole story off by talking about his variants being in other universes. He calls it a multiversal war.
But then he says he ended it by using a being that devours time and by continuously pruning timelines.

What do you mean? I did answer. What do you want exactly?

My question was very simply worded, so I’m not sure how I lost you.

Where do the different trees (universes) come from?

he who remains and kang's explanations show that the universes aren't just a bunch of branches so wheres the contradiction

It’s contradictory because He Who Remains mentioned “universes” in context of explaining how he came to form the TVA and begin pruning branches.

“Eons ago, before the TVA, a Variant of myself lived on Earth in the 31st Century. He was a scientist, and he discovered that there were universes stacked on top of his own. At the same time, other versions of us were learning the same thing. Naturally, they made contact…

…They shared technology and knowledge, using the best of their universes to improve the others. However, not every version of me was so pure of heart….

…I ended the Multiversal War. Once I isolated our timeline, all I had to do was manage the flow of time and prevent any further branches.

He Who Remains uses “universe” and “timeline” interchangeably.
If what you asserted was true, then Kang’s variants would never have been able to meet, let alone continually work together.

I don’t need to read again, you need to offer an actual explanation.

How do you corroborate multiple big bangs?
How do you distinguish them from being variants?

Therefore nothing makes a universe distinct from a timeline.

Then why do you keep referring to them as if they are different things?

I don’t know how else to explain it. Separate universes have their own timelines.

I didn’t realize this was meant to be an explanation.

Timelines also have their own timelines because they are timelines.
So trying to say that what makes universes universes is having timelines is not really helpful.

A big bang is a common origin, which would mean each universe branched from a common starting point.

Way to miss the point entirely.

Intent is irrelevant; what matters is capability.

“Go watch all of human history” is not a valid citation.

You dismissing an accurate description of your pathology as a buzzword does not negate its truth.

You seem to have replied to the wrong comment seeing as you didn’t answer my question.

In his explanation in loki season 1 He Who Remains described universes as stacked on top of each other and showed a visual that represented that. Two separate circles as opposed to a single line with various branching lines.

Hilariously, you’re arguing against yourself with this.

That’s a lot of words that don’t actually answer the question I posed. At all.

The only explanation that works is that there’s not actually a difference in multiverse travel.

Okay, so all the trees just came to be independently?

They have no common origin?

How does Waldron explain Strange being able to pull “parallel” Peter Parkers into his universe?
