Can You Do A “What If Marvel & DC Shared The Same Universe” Video?

[@FNAFBRO2010]

Bro that needs to happen

[@PODCLIIP]

This would be fire

[@dariusporter358]

I’ve had this idea for a while. A huge multiversal threat caused Marvel and DC to come together to stop it. Afterwards the universes are brought together to form one universe. Here’s some ideas I had. There is no Metagene anymore. Every character with the metagene in DC is now just a mutant. For Example, Black Canary would now be a mutant and starts as a member of the X-Men but later joins the Justice League. There is no Nova corps. Only Green Lantern corps. However, Richard Rider is now a prominent Green Lantern. Stephen Strange is now Dr Fate after Kent Nelson retired. Aquaman rules Atlantis while Namor rules Talokan. They hate each other and are at war. Wolverine and Captain America were part of the JSA. Cap was the leader but after his ‘death’ the team disbanded. Cap used to have a relationship with Wonder Woman during this time. The Illuminati still exists but now includes Dr Fate(Stephan Strange), Batman, Mr Terrific, Ray Palmer, and Ted Kord. Because of Fate they also remember their respective universe before the convergence. The OG Teen Titans were Robin(Grayson), Kid Flash, Superboy, Aqualad, Starfire, Wonder Girl, Spider-Man(Peter), and Kate Bishop. The next generation of Teen Titans will be led by an adult Starfire and consist of Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Spider-Man(Miles), Green Lantern(Sam Alexander), Ms Marvel, Franklin Richards, Speed and Wiccan and Robin(Damien). Quicksilver is still a mutant but his speed is much slower than in canon. He then gains access to the speed force and becomes faster. He’s not as fast as Barry and Wally but is faster than Jay. Shield and Argus both exist. Vixen is a citizen of Wakanda and is a Spider-Man like character. What I mean by that is while Black Panther deals with the big threats and protecting the entire nation, Vixen is the one looking out for the little guy and dealing with smaller crimes in Wakanda. Mr Miracle and Big Barda are part of the Guardians of the Galaxy. One last thing is that Krypton was destroyed by Galactus. Maybe even have Kara as his herald instead of Silver Surfer.

Johnny Quick played by Ezra Miller made me laugh

[@Hiro-rx8yb]

Yeah that was funny

[@milkiassamuel780]

Ironically, Ezra Miller acted more like Johnny Quick than he did Barry Allen. Even his Flash costume in the 2023 movie looked more like Johnny Quick with that massive helmet?

[@Hiro-rx8yb]

[@milkiassamuel780]

Not gonna lie Tyler Hoechlin as Shazam would honestly be pretty good casting, he was phenomenal as Superman in Superman and Lois, and I can see him play Shazam as a child whose mind is in the body of an adult in a more consistently believable way than Zachary Levi did

[@marcelinovazquez5128]

A universe where Marvel had the rights to Spiderman, X Men, Hulk and Fantastic 4 but didn't have the rights to Iron Man, Captain America or the Avengers could be interesting. They probably would use lesser known X Men teams like X Force, Alpha Flight or New Mutants as their secondary/ crossover teams

[@squidlivers5677]

Ezra Miller being the evil flash is perfect

[@marvelfantasy472]

I think a cool idea for future 'universe restructuring' videos would be what if Marvel and DC swapped gaming universes. e.g. Spider-Man Ravencroft series, Thunderbolts: Kill the Avengers, Web Warriors (Gotham Knights), Vengeance Gods Among Us, Insomniac's Batman, DC vs Capcom, DC Ultimate Alliance, Crystal Dynamics Justice League, Justice League Dark by Firaxis, DC Rivals as examples of things you could do. Some would be longer more in-depth videos and others with less story would be more rapid fire.

[@MeatOfJustice]

People like to joke about DC vs SNK, you could do that one if desired.

[@abiodunsulaiman2297]

Amazing lineup you should get a bunch of KZbinrs and make a fan film series based on this and use the money you get from KZbin for cgi and sets and costumes, your able to do it.

[@christianmanka3884]

I’m pretty sure BetterHelp was outted for selling their costumers private information. Maybe not the best sponsorship considering their completely disgusting actions.

[@marvelfantasy472]

Cinema Therapy has a post on their subreddit about how some of the accusations were incorrect about Better Help (I think) and that for the accusations that were true that they've made changes and all of the problems they had were handled, the reddit post is called "Addressing the Betterhelp Concerns Head-On (Deep Dive with Sources)". Though maybe they got into another controversy that I'm unaware I'm no expert all I know is that there is some arguments for them.

[@superby1]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...these are amazing and well thought out! Seriously, when I saw this video was up I came home, dropped everything and watched it, picturing the movies and letting my imagination run wild with your ideas for movies. The Flash sequel sounded like so much fun! Also building up to Guy as a third Lantern was great.

[@JoaoVitor-nq1sz]

Vídeo incrível! Estou louco pra ver as continuações

[@jeffbachelder3739]

I am loving this series that you are doing the thought, care, and world building you do is next level. THIS is the way the story of the DC universe should have been told. I can’t wait for your third installment

[@ShinyRK9]

I prefer longer more detailed Universe Restructuring videos even if that means we will get less of them

[@YungChoiz]

I just love that Hal has green and Blue rings.

[@StephanieGreen-ff4zo]

Idea for a universe restructuring video: "What if Marvel had the rights to less characters?" Some characters the MCU used early on had been at other studios but transferred back (Iron Man at New Line, Thor at Sony), and the original ten characters Marvel announced they were making films about looked different (Avengers, Cap, Fury, Strange, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Cloak & Dagger, Shang-Chi, Power Pack). I think trying a build a universe out of this, likely beginning with Jon Favreau's Captain America in 2008 (he had been in talks to do Cap until they got Iron Man), and earlier films for Strange, T'Challa, etc would be interesting.

[@StephanieGreen-ff4zo]

Black Widow at Lionsgate is another that was tied up.

[@maninthetrenchcoat5603]

The Avengers would be Caps Kooky Quartet + Ant Man and the Wasp. That'd honestly be pretty intriguing.

[@RhinoSinger989]

We need chapter 3!

[@treythompson6601]

Casting evil flash as evil flash is despicable work 😂

[@joelsilva699]

Crisis on Infinite Earths already?! I would’ve had Darkseid as the first saga’s big bad and then Anti-Monitor as the second sagas’s big bad. Care to explain why Crisis first and then maybe Darkseid second?

[@Totomy2011]

It’s a little cuz dark said is also set up

[@Hiro-rx8yb]

Probably because the universe started in 2008 even though Final Crisis was out by that point, Crisis on infinite earths is DC’s big event. We already saw Darkseid in his DCEU structured like the MCU, you can’t really do that story better than that.

[@leochao2594]

I loved that trinity pitch that introduced Supergirl. I loved Kara's reinvention in MAWS, so a similar plotline on a grand movie scale was great to hear.

[@CameronRuel-u8b]

Are you gonna do Chapter 3 and the Infinity Saga next, Black Lion?

[@matthewstone189]

Love the idea for the Shazam casting, but the movie needed to add Black Adam working with Dr. Sivana, should’ve been set on earth 1 in the main universe, not introduce Captain Marvel Jr. or Mary Marvel. The next movie after this should’ve been a Shazam/Superman movie of them taking on the Monster Society of Evil (or Sabbac) and Superman offering Billy membership in the league and Billy showing Freddie and Mary the wizard and them gaining powers to protect Fawcett City while Billy is handling league matters, could also make it where Mary is a league reservist and Captain Marvel Jr. is a member of the teen titans and showing him in the teen titans movie.

[@Ultranger]

Black Lion's got his own plans, I'm sure it'll all make sense in Chapter 3

[@connorsinclair8938]

I had this idea for a green arrow and black canary movie It's in the style of Mr and Mrs Smith and the events of the movie are told from their perspective as they try to convince the flash (or whoever else) on why they should be a part of the Justice league in a series of interviews

[@AdamReece-k3q]

It’s interesting that you made a separate universe where swamp thing and constatine is and adapted flash of two worlds into a movie, hopefully you adapt the justice league crisis on two earths as a movie in your next video

[@lemholmes3078]

[@ramix8062]

Personal opinion: I think that It would be better to have a 12 projects chapter, with alone sequels to Superman, Wonder Woman, a third Batman movie. Also I think Darkseid should be the saga villain. Also I think It the Flash sequel should have been a Flashpoint adaptation

You're confusing it with the Restructured DCEU

[@AJ-xc4qe]

There really is no superhero franchise more tragic than the DC Extended Universe. Hell, you could make a Quiet On Set-styled documentary just on much of a shitstorm the DCEU was! Maybe even with more episodes! The worst part about all of it is that they had every opportunity to reboot the universe at any point so they could start properly but they made it last a decade. A full decade of empty promises, overinflated egos, awful writing, awful portrayals, awful people who don't even deserve careers and who don’t immediately suffer the consequences of their actions and several hard-working talented people getting continually screwed over! Even the stuff I loved like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle, Birds of Prey, The Suicide Squad, The Snyder Cut and Peacemaker can’t escape at least one of these problems on top of the rest of the movies I have mixed opinions on at best. Thankfully, DC has an independent studio like Marvel now and won’t have to deal with WB’s bs again.
