hey #fediverse, what is your favorite group of movies or shows that are in the same universe?

    Not really in the same universe technically, but sci-fi movies made by James Cameron and Ridley Scott tend to use the same aesthetic/tech as they didn’t in the Alien franchise so I have personally decided it’s all the same universe. If it had a Power Loader Mech or an Android, it counts.

    Alien, Aliens, Avatar, Raised by Wolves, Blade Runner, whatever lol

    Weyland Yuyani exists in Predator too, so obviously those are also in the same universe.

    Kingsman and kickass movies technically, the comics are mostly ass but I like the crossover

    I dunno if it counts, but all the DCAU. Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, Superman, Justice League, annd more, all slices at different times with crossovers.

    And Young Justice isn’t technically a part of it, but it feels post DCAU in spirit.

      Watching BCS now. Never seen BB but I heard if you like the pacing of BCS, you might not like BB, is this true?

      I LOVE the slow narrative of BCS.

    Daredevil show, Luke Cage show, and Jessica Jones show. Not the old time stuff. This was on Netflix not that long ago.

    TYPE/MOON created a bunch of stories that are disjoint from one another but are actually in the same universe and may have some faint connections.

    Some of the works I’ve enjoyed:

    • Fate/Stay Night & Fate/Zero
    • Tsukihime
    • Kara No Kyokai (Garden of Sinners)
        • ApollosArrow@lemmy.world

          I do know it’s huge. It was me mostly making a joke about many of the comments on the fediverse being doom and gloom, while Star Trek is about hope and bringing all walks of life together for the better good.

    Ok, so, this is my favorite, not because I love the shows, although I do like some of them, but because it’s fun to chain links and how long you can make it.

    We start with the “Munchiverse”, most people know Detective John Munch from his long career in Law & Order SVU, and obviously all of the Law and order are in the same universe, but also they’ve had crossovers with Chicago Fire which is in the same universe as Chicago PD and others. They’ve also had crossovers with FBI and New York Undercover. But I said this is the Munchiverse, and I only mentioned Munch once, this is where it gets interesting, X-Files has an episode where detective John Munch shows up, he also shows up in Arrested Development and The Beat. And going one extra link X-Files is canonically set in the same universe as Twin peaks. Going back to Munch, he’s originally from another TV show called Homicide: Life on the street, and in that TV show they investigate a doctor from the TV show St. Elsewhere, in that TV show someone mentions working with a Dr from M.A.S.H. I’m sure more links could be made.

      This is a great example! Two totally separate shows about weird stuff and then they just do a cross over at a certain point and now they’re linked.

    Fionna and Cake + Cheers. “Everyone on Cheers is like 3 inches tall” was such a direct jab at the little-man attitude a celebrity can (and that cast fully did) develop. Hey Arnold looks like it MAY also take place in that universe I just can’t prove it yet.

      Don’t forget the inclusion of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack when Prismo is skipping through universe “channels!”

      There’s also a blue jay that looks suspiciously and sounds suspiciously like Mordecai from Regular Show in the Adventure Time episode “Ketchup.”

      Gravity Falls had a crossover reference with Rick & Morty. (GF would be the only non-Cartoon Network show in this theory)

      Over The Garden Wall is canonically in the Clarence universe.

      Samurai Jack has an episode that takes place in post apocalyptic Townsville from Powerpuff Girls.

      We are getting closer to the grand unified theory of Cartoon Network.
