Ghostbusters - Timeline


I guess this just goes to show, you can always find something new. Now, taking this advert seriously for a second, Janine is still managing the Ghostbusters' finances in 2019. I can only imagine that her and Slimer are promoting Quickbooks in-universe and relating it to the Ghostbusters due to their popularity.

The Louisiana Ghostbusters, which references a TON of other fanfiction, is referenced twice in the IDW Ghostbusters comics. They go on to explain how that reference occurred within their fanfiction.

DOES ANY OTHER FRANCHISE COUNT FANFICTION AS MUCH AS GHOSTBUSTERS!?! I appreciate it for all the fanfilms that are validated because of this, but man, I don't wanna go through adding all of that. Call it a branch timeline or something. Good for them, they're canon, man...

Okay, thankfully I can eliminate fanfiction completely. They're a parallel universe, Dimension 68-F. Apparently a canon one, seeing as the main universe references them.

I don't even know how Ghostbusters could work in the Buffyverse... Aside from the fact that Ghosts are a thing in Buffy.

Also there's Back to the Future too, so yeah it's a lot.

It's ehm.. probably becouse they're both IDW comics, I.... It's still not canon hahaha.
 
His death in the Buffyverse is different. You could probably explain it though. The worshipers and construction/mining backgrounds definitely strengthen the link between the two.

so what's the percentage of the Buffyverse being canon?
 
My theory on when Dimension 68-E (Extreme Ghostbusters) split off from Dimension 68-R (The Real Ghostbusters) is whenever the Ghostbusters: Get Real crossover happens within the animated continuity. It's the only thing that makes sense, since it involves Interdimensional travel. I, uh... I might get round to covering that reality eventually. Added separate timelines for the universes with reality numbers too.

Ghostbusters (2016) commentary:
"Corvette Summer is one of my favorite movies and Annie Potts was in it and her name was Vanessa. So when you watch this in HD, look at her name tag. Her name in the scene is Vanessa."

Lol, that'd be funny if she were the same character and Ghostbusters: Answer The Call was a sequel to Corvette Summer.

Ghost Busted (manga)

It'd be cool if this was in Dimension 68-M(anga) alongside Tokyo ESP. It'd make sense too.

It's probably fair to say that Earth-88326 is Dimension 68-E. This might be due to that alien or ghost that originated from the Doctor Who comics and reappeared somewhere in Ghostbusters.

Also, those Marvel UK magazines are gonna be a nightmare to cover if I get to it.

See, The Real Ghostbusters totally wasn't referencing Ghostbusters II, which is completely non-canon to it.

...it was referencing the comic book adaptation of Ghostbusters II. Completely different thing, totally. :p

Lol, Caddyshack sharing a universe with Ghostbusters (2016). That's an entertaining thought.

One that isn't likely, considering that in the same comic series, they mention visiting the actual reality of Caddyshack. Unless they visited the same universe but didn't realise it, checked out the history of Peter's double, and came across Carl Spackler (Caddyshack) instead of Martin Heiss (Ghostbusters: Answer The Call) by chance.

I thought doubles were only people with the same names
