Ghostbusters - Timeline

[Megatron]

Tbf if we consider all of the IDW comics, with Conspiracy: Ghostbusters. It makes Ghostbusters Canon in the X-Files universe.

 

[Pro Bot]

I consider Conspiracy to be a sequel to Ghostbusters: Legion due to all of the stolen art.

 

[Megatron]

To be Fair, a Conspiracy timeline would be fun....

The TMNT and Crow characters from Conspiracy from which universe are they from?

X-Files are from X-Files, Transformers from the Hasbroverse possibly, and Ghostbusters from a composite timeline (I Guess?)

 

[Pro Bot]

TMNT are based on the IDW versions but apparently contradict a few things, and The Crow has no connections but that's due to the nature of that franchise.

I do genuinely think that the Ghostbusters in Conspiracy can just be considered the versions from Ghostbusters: Legion. There's so many "references" to it. It's essentially a comic set in the 2000s but months after the events of Ghostbusters. I would take the reference to Ghostbusters on The X-Files to suggest that the crew formed years before facing Gozer in that timeline. Just my take... it all gets erased in Season 11 (comic version) anyway.

 

[Pro Bot]

I'm okay with the Ghostbusters operating in post-2000 a little bit pre-Afterlife, but I will admit that 2014, as seen in Conspiracy, just seems a bit much.

So is Ghostbusters: Legion its own universe?

 

[Megatron]

I do genuinely think that the Ghostbusters in Conspiracy can just be considered the versions from Ghostbusters: Legion. There's so many "references" to it. It's essentially a comic set in the 2000s but months after the events of Ghostmasters. I would take the reference to Ghostbusters on The X-Files to suggest that the crew formed years before facing Gozer in that timeline. Just my take... it all gets erased in Season 11 (comic version) anyway.

They could also be from The Return?

They could also be from The Return?

Ohh, maybe. I don't know the specifics of that sequel.

Search for the key word "Legion."

 

[Pro Bot]

Possibly a stretch, but it'd be cool if Casper's baseball glove was the object Ray recovered on the top right in the past, as seen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

The "unfinished business" lore is pretty much the same between films, so it wouldn't be too crazy if that was a nod.

Marvel explained Egon's blonde hair once... well, it doesn't totally work since we see his blonde hair immediately following the first movie per the flashback episode, but maybe that was just an inaccurate animation/flashback thing and he canonically had brown hair. I don't know, but this is interesting.

 

[Pro Bot]

...interesting...

 

[Pro Bot]

2 minutes in, there's a Ghostbusters cameo... I... guess it's Ray and Peter? They look ridiculous.

"Press 1 if you're being threatened by a Ghostbuster" and then ghost versions of Mulder and Scully show up. Just... WHAT?
