    Is anyone else tired of this new trend towards multiversal story-telling? Maybe it's the nihilist in me, but I feel that if every possible outcome is equally likely and unlikely, then there is no consequence to anything, and therefore no conclusion. And I HATE narratives that don't have a conclusion. Stories without consequence are just a list of events. Back in my day, we called stories like that 'filler'. I cannot fathom why anyone would want to create an entire genre out of exclusively filler narratives. Well, that's not exactly true. I can understand why executives and shareholders would, but surely I'm not alone in feeling that multiverse stories are a step back for story-telling?

      Editing … I'm tired of its prominence right now, but I don't share your feelings about the stories not mattering. But I also like narratives without a conclusion.

      Editing … I reckon it will fizzle out, but part of me fears it's here to stay. I'm pretty okay with them when they function as vehicles for fan-service. I just don't like when it's used to undo things that have happened, or to abandon a narrative thread. Verging on "it was all a dream" , which I detest even more.

      Editing … Did Aquaman 2 do any multiverse stuff to lead into the new DCU?

      Editing … Nah. As far as I know, they are just going to have a complete reboot into the DCU and not mention the previous films. Peacemaker might, as it seems the most tied-in, but I doubt Superman will even bring it up.

      Editing … I read that Peacemaker S2 will be set in the DCU, and I guess we'll find out how S1 is connected to S2. I thought Disney+ would never release a Marvel show as good as Peacemaker, but Loki S2 was amazing.

      Editing … Yea, everything going forward is now DCU and therefore post-reboot. I enjoyed Loki. Tis a shame about the whole Jonathan Majors shenanigans. His characterisation of He Who Remains was great.

      Editing … Also Quiet Player, what's a better list, favorite superhero movies (and one for shows), or favorite live-action superhero movies/shows? I wanna stack MCU, DC, and X-Men movies against each other :)

      Editing … Live-action would make most sense. Superhero movies is a mammoth list. Individual lists for live-action, and animated would make for an easier time for everyone I think.

      Editing … Anything that conveys some enthusiasm for the topic and encourages the users to rank their favorites should work. You can look at a bunch of list descriptions for inspiration (the recent yearly favorites lists are bare, but lots of the fun genre lists have descriptions). A safe option is "Superhero movies are good, there are a lot of different kinds of superhero movies, and some feel this way, and some feel that way. Whether you like this one or that one, let everyone know your favorites!"
