  • Grant Morrison's map of the DC Comics multiverse which was seen in Multiversity is fascinating, but let's dive deep and look at the META of what it means.

    The Morrison bit you have as unintelligible is "Now imagine if you heard it from outside, it'd be making music..." Is the Scots accent really that difficult from the outside? Seemed clear as a bell to me.

      The only problem is that not every earth has been fully defined yet
      There are still a handful of earths that need to explored

    I haven't seen anyone go over every single earth in DC. That would be cool

    I've always known about the DC Multiverse map, but I never knew how complex and connected it really was. The amount of thought that must have went to making this map is truly impressive. I would love to see more videos about it.

      After the convergence event dc did a while back they restored the pre crisis multiverse along with the post crisis continuity marking the dc multiverse even more complex

    • @TrobsEvolution

      Possibly. But there they would not be brought to me by Drake. And I want to get my comic information from Drake. So I am more than satisfied.

  • @Darqueness

    This is precisely why I watch your work. Insightful, informative, exciting and looking at angles and lesser known aspects of comics that most don't even acknowledge, much less actually dig into. Awesome as always.

    That was actually really cool! I never knew too much about the DC multiverse (other than what you've covered before), because it just seemed so vast and complex, but this video actually helped to simplify it a bit to something more understandable.
    Thanks, Drake!

    I have been trying to find this video for so long. I remember being extremely fascinated by music and science and would tell people similar things that our world is defined by music. Having finally found it, I can finally do more research and share it with even more people. Comic Drake, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an incredibly done explanation and inspiring me to learn more.

    This is fascinating, I never thought that there was any consistent plan for the layout and content of each world. I just assumed it was a "wouldn't it be cool if..." assortment of ideas.
    Would definitely appreciate deeper looks into each of these worlds in the future.

  • @johnmobley9369
    @johnmobley9369 Год назад

    When we sing or speak it is simply vibrations. It’s why people believe certain vibrations and frequencies unlock something within ourselves or the world around us. In multiple instances the world has been recorded producing natural songs of its own. Vibrations unable to be heard to us easily. Science and music actually have a lot of overlap. It’s an interesting topic

    • @johnmobley9369
      @johnmobley9369 Год назад

      I can’t even remember any specific examples but there are so many overlaps with specific scientific occurrences and music

  • @spencerwelchii573
    @spencerwelchii573 4 года назад

    The only thing is that the map was null and void pretty quickly, with the addition of the Scott Snyderverse (Batman The Last Knight), Sean Murphyverse (White Knite/Curse of the White Knight), The DCeased Universe, Azzarello's Damned Universe, not to mention the MIllerverse (formerly known as Earth-31),
    Other unaccounted Universes: The Watchmen, Scooby-Doo Team-up, Hanna Barbera/DC, Batman/TMNT, Batman/TMNT Adventures, Smallville, Injustice, Bombshells...waaay too many to list.

    Can you explain why Akropolis seems to exist outside the multiverse? I was under the impression that it was just a planet within a universe. Wouldn't that mean that every time Darkseid attacks he specifically chooses Earth 1?

    I love it when stuff gets too crazy for anybody to properly comprehend (i.e. HomeStuck, Doctor Who, Kingdom Hearts), and then fans go out of their way to make sense of it all in spite of it, whether the conclusion they reach was intended by the writers or not. It's why I actually unironically love the Zelda timeline, and all the disputes and debates etc. around it. :D

      @benc.delacruz1813 2 года назад

      Which connects the DC multiverse to a whole other multiverse due to one-shot issue ‘The Many Worlds of Tesla Strong’ and the 3 part arc ‘How Tom Stone Got Started’ from #20-22 of the main Tom Strong series. Just realized that.
