This character is part of which fictional universe

Share Share this page on Facebook Share this page on Twitter Thanks to superhero movies and comic books, these days you can’t throw a rock without hitting a shared universe. But what might seem like a passing fad or novelty is actually as old as literature itself. Throughout history, writers have hit on the idea of re-using characters from one story in another, or creating a fictional universe in which to set different stories. These shared elements can often be very subtle, only revealing themselves when you take a step back and take a close look at the connections. Here are five shared universes that we bet you haven’t noticed. Every Single Novel by Bret Easton Ellis Ellis has written a host of controversial novels, most notably American Psycho. His works are filled with distasteful, unlikable people doing distasteful, illegal, and horrifying things. And just about every single novel Ellis has published exists in a complex fictional universe where almost all the characters have connections to one another, appearing in the background or referenced in conversation. Even better, Ellis killed off a character that appeared in another writer’s novel—Allison Poole, from Jay McInerney’s Story of My Life—in American Psycho, thus linking his universe to McInerney’s work as well. Incidentally, Allison Poole appears in later Ellis novels, and is a key piece of evidence cited for the events of American Psycho being the ravings of a madman. Every Single Stephen King Novel It’s no secr...

It’s something that no contemporary film critic or commentator can do without: the concept of fictional universes. “Worlds” are no longer sufficient to contain the stories of a film or media property. The scope of a franchise must be cosmic. Now fictional universes are multiplying faster than the umpteen ones predicted by string theory. Marvel’s film franchise is perhaps the most famous. Recently there’s been talk, after expanded universe. Is a post-universe era upon us, however? The Baffler reads Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) as a commentary on the ties that bind fictional universes and their proliferation with the corporatization of popular culture, “foretell[ing] a future, if not a present, that wants us to recognize the realities of intellectual property.” It’s an intriguing interpretation of the movie. But what struck me was something else Semley wrote. He claims to have tracked down the “first” article (reader beware!) to have proposed the idea itself–the first piece to have ever developed the notion of fictional universes. Fig. 1. Cover of CAPA-Alpha #25 (1964). After a bit of digging, I managed to find the piece (well, a transcribed html version of it, at any rate): The Merchant of Venice Meets The Shiek of Arabi [sic.].” The author is Don Markstein. Markstein’s theory of fictional universes–an admirably parsimonious one–is compelling on a number of fronts, and well worth revisiting. A few things will strike today’s reader of Markstein’s article. First, in stark c...

A fictional universe is a made up world that is used as the setting for one or (more commonly) many works of fiction. It is often used in books but can be used in any form used to tell a story, for example role-playing games, television or movies. It can be said that every work of fiction makes a world of its own. A fictional universe is used when things in a story become a part either of other stories, or of games or other things. Fictional universes are most often used in science fiction and fantasy stories but they can be used in any type of fiction. A fictional universe usually has certain things in them that make them different from the real world. These things could affect anything from cities the author created to entire galaxies. In most fictional universes, the laws of physics are different to let things exist which commonly do not, for example, magic or space travel to other planets. Fictional universes may also take place in any time period during the past, present, or future.

By Revold October 21, 2018 17 Comments We often hear these jargons on the topic of Dimensional Tiering but there seem to be no common consensus of what they actually mean. After a bit of researching I've found two websites that holds some authority, but they don't really satisfy me. • VS Battles Wiki has a really self-consistent system, but they define their own definitions based on a unnecessarily specific model. e.g. they only consider Brane Cosmology while there are many different types of Multiverse models in fiction. Hence they also neglect many terms that have too much controversy/dispute on what they mean. • All dimensions/Verse and Dimensions Wiki has a page for all the terms you can think of, but they have no meaningful coherent structure that holds them together. So instead of proposing arbitrarily backward-defined definitions, I'll instead analyse each term to notate them in an intuitive, self-explanatory manner, and then use them to describe what we know instead. Dimension one of a group of properties whose number is necessary and sufficient to determine uniquely each element of a system of usually mathematical entities ( such as an aggregate of points in real or abstract space) [Merriam-Webster] The official scientific definition of a Dimension is an axis of movement, such as height, length, and width. [VS Battles Wiki] Do not limit your understanding of the word Dimension to just space and time. Dimension is a fundamental property (quantity or quality) that d...

With the continued multimedia domination of heroes from the 'Big Two' - think Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Batman, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk - it's easy to forget not all superheroes get to pal around with icons of the Justice League or the Avengers. But believe it or not, they do exist ... and even thrive. (Image credit: Millarworld) Mark Millar's eponymous Millarworld is less a cohesive superhero universe and more a banner for the writer's various projects with top-notch artists, which aren't limited to superhero stories. But to discount Millarworld's importance to the superhero genre would be a mistake. Between stories like Netflix now owns Millarworld, and while the streaming giant's first adaptation and planning more TV series and movies based on some of the Scottish-born creator's new and most popular works - including the return of 9. King Features (Image credit: King Features Syndicate) Though the characters of King Features' comic strips and serials ride the line between superheroes and pulp, it's impossible to deny the impact that characters like the Phantom, Flash Gordon, and Mandrake the Magician have had on modern superhero comic books. Though they weren't exactly part of a "shared universe" in King's heyday, modern interpretations – including titles from Dynamite – have treated King's mystery men, pulp heroes, and sci-fi adventurers like parts of a whole, uniting them both in print and on the screen. Who can forget the '80sDefenders of the Earthcartoon that b...

Philosophical issues surrounding fiction have attracted increasing attention from philosophers over the past few decades. What follows is a discussion of one familiar and quite fundamental topic in this area: fictional entities (both the issue of what such entities might be like and whether there really are such entities). A familiar characteristic of works of fiction is that they feature fictional characters: individuals whose exploits are written about in works of fiction and who make their first appearance in a work of fiction. Shakespeare’s Hamlet, for example, features the fictional character Hamlet, Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles features Sherlock Holmes, Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina features Anna Karenina, and so on. All of these works feature numerous other fictional characters, of course (Ophelia and Dr Watson, for example); indeed, some works of fiction are characterized by the sheer abundance of their characters (Russian novels are often said to have this characteristic). Fictional characters belong to the class of entities variously known as fictional entities or fictional objects or ficta, a class that includes not just animate objects of fiction (fictional persons, animals, monsters, and so on) but also inanimate objects of fiction such as fictional places (Anthony Trollope’s cathedral town of Barchester and Tolkien’s home of the elves, Rivendell, for example). As stated, however, it doesn’t include entities located in the real world, although real entities...
