Also, are Psychonauts and Voodoo Vince the same continuity? You can collect a voodoo vince in the original Psychonauts. Some kind of Xbox Platformer shared universe

Is the upcoming Young Sherlock Holmes series in the same universe as the two RDJ Sherlock Holmes films also directed by Guy Ritchie?

 

[ScottishRyzo]

You'd think given that part three is still confirmed to be in development but apparently it's a spiritual prequel with the same vibe but based on a series of YA books I think

Seeing as the Wai Wai World series is on the Castlevania timeline I just realized how funny a Goonies timeline would be since one of the characters is in the Wai Wai World series.

So you would have the original film, then the sequel game on Gameboy where you can meet Konami Man. Then during Wai Wai World he gets pulled into a multiverse event by Konami Man where he meets 80s King Kong, one of the Contra guys, Goemon and a descendant of Simon Belmont

So uhhhhh apparently Descendants is canon to the actual Disney Movies? Like straight up?

"I was informed very early on...by the head of Disney Channel, Gary Marsh, that the reason this project has taken so long was because Disney Corporate had to approve of somebody officially embellishing on the original stories, because that is what we're doing," Dove explained.

"Anything else, like Once Upon a Time, hasn't actually been an official embellishment on the story," she continued, "We. Are. Canon."

I guess like. For this to work a lot of the characters just have to be immortal I guess so they could coexist. Kinda messed up that Anastasia still got sent to the Isle of the Lost even after her redemption arc though (the Disney sequels are canon too because Melody's name appears on one of the maps with a castle of her own next to Ariel's)

As much as I like the Descendants movies, the setting has always confused me, like is it even set on Earth?

I wouldn't take that too seriously. Even ignoring the obvious problem that every character is alive at the same time, the 4th film just completely throws the canon away.

It can't be that they don't age because they state the Beast married Belle 20 years ago at 28, which is older than he was in the film, and that he is at least 42 now. It also can't be that they stop ageing at a certain point because Aurora's mother is clearly older too, but Mulan would be at least 800 years older than her and Aurora would be up to 400 years older than Belle, yet both Mulan and Aurora are around the same age as Belle and younger than Leah.

It's obviously not a serious line, but Red refers to the main characters of the first 3 films as "middle-aged", and they're only in their mid-20s

Are there any large multimedia franchises where literally ALL media is considered canonical? Not talking in a multiverse sense but just a single universe with one continuity where all of the media happens. I can't really think of many I think it would be cool to have a list if there's enough like that

Doctor Who, technically. It's a consequence of being a time travel show. I guess the Peter Cushing movies, but they're in-universe fiction.

I think that conflicts with Rule 96: any sufficiently large multimedia franchise will contain at least one work that's set in an alternate universe

Personally I like to think of Cushing as the original Unbound Doctor

The prototype TARDIS the Morbius doctors send an injured Patience away from ancient Gallifrey in is described in Cold Fusion as being identical to the Cushing TARDIS

I think in the Cushing timeline he used it to run away with Susan at that point instead of sticking around to become the First Doctor and doing it

Has anyone read Marvel's Hellraiser comics? Do they take place in their own timeline, where only the first few films are canon, or do they fit into the continuity of the entire film series? I don't remember the movies well enough to draw conclusions from reading the comics.

The films don't really have enough continuity for them to contradict. The only issue is an out-of-universe art book describing a different origin for the Lament Configuration, and even then, it's probably explainable. Just because Kirsty doesn't mention her husband who she damned to Leviathan's Realm for infidelity doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I feel like Hellraiser 1-11, Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions, and all the comic tie-ins could easily be a Clive Barker movie timeline.

Iirc a friend of Clive Barker stated that Clive sees each medium as a separate continuity, so films are one, the novels are another, and the comics are a 3rd. Although he also said the first 2 films are canon to the comic universe

I've heard that too, but the comics just seem like normal movie tie-ins. Also, the comics connect to the third film too, so if that's what they said, it's contradicted by the stories themselves. It just seems weird because the movies and comics are connected and don't contradict while the novels are completely different and clearly separate.

I'd rather hear from Clive Barker that his official sequel to the films aren't canon to the films than from a friend of his, too.

Well Clive Barker himself seems to imply the Novels are canon to the films too. He literally said he was writing the Doug Bradley version of Pinhead in The Scarlet Gospels

 

[Pro Bot]

Wow, that's funny. I feel like that'd be pretty problematic.

 

[user 16960]

Wow, that's funny. I feel like that'd be pretty problematic.

Ive seen the Toll (the novel set between the original and Scarlet gospels) has different synopsis that use both the last names of Kirsty, both the novel last name and film version last name. I haven't read it so idk if it's explained at all

 

[user 16960]

Since there's already so many Hasbro timelines (mostly Transformers but still) how about a MLP (G4/5 specifically) timeline? With all the comics, chapter books and Gameloft mobile game story events as well as anything else I'm forgetting. It's insane how long that continuity would be and no one online seems to have figured out where the comics would all go for the most part

Obviously the other generations can have timelines too but those would be a bit shorter (except G1) obviously

I do believe Pinhead died in that book, though I suppose there's more than one anyway.

Elliot Spencer (Hellraiser 1-10)
Kirsty Cotton (Hellraiser comics)
Nico Bradley (Hellraiser: Revelations)
Pinhead (Hellraiser (2022))

I guess Doug Bradley-esque wouldn't be impossible.

Okay, I believe Sofia the First establishes that either pretty much every Disney princess has their own universe (it might be from different points in time, I don't remember) but some amulet can summon them to her universe/time, so ig you could explain it like that?

On a different note, I recently remembered the existence of My Muppet Show and the implications it has on both My Singing Monsters lore and Muppets lore. Big Blue Bubble, the MSM and MMS devs, have stated that every one of their games is a separate universe on the Stablo Myehurića (idk, their multiverse I believe), which includes the human world. BBB are essentially exploring these different universes, but most prominently the Monster World (and its connected universes/dimensions). While it is explicitly stated numerous times that the MSM games are representations of the Monster World, it has never been stated for all other games they've made. So to make a Muppets timeline, that would include My Muppet Show, which would be set in the same world as the human world. There are countless cinematic trailers for MSM as well as non-trailer scripted videos/posts, making the already-complicated Muppets timeline all the more chaotic

Most are from the same world as Sofia, the only ones that aren't come from Earth which is more like real world Earth (but obviously still has magic) like Tiana.

Oh, I talked about the plethora of connections a while back in this thread. Lemme see if I can find it, just know that it contains friggin The Office and Big Bang Theory

Linking back to the talk a few weeks ago about Muppets and crossovers, my younger brother has been watching Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch (some CBBC show about Gordon Ramsay's daughter) and the Cookie Monster just straight up makes a guest appearance??? MatRB is meant to be some vlog about her cooking and her family getting up to over-the-top antics (idk, kid's show) so for that to connect as some sort of in-universe vlog…

Is it just me or are Manga/Anime fans way more restrictive about what's canon/what's not than any other fandom? Sometimes they seem to claim even obviously canon stories aren't canon for extremely arbitrary reasons and don't allow for any kind of debate on the subject
