Literally every writer in the present day wants to rip off Marvel goyslop by adding "Muh infinite timelines and universes" into their stories.
"It is popular so we will copy it."
From an objective standpoint, introducing "Muh infinite everything" is like introducing time travel into a plot:
It makes the story feel like worthless goyslop, and also insipid due to how much it gets copied now.
"There are infinite versions of everything, so we can revive and re-hash anything that happens! Here is a version of this character from a universe where he has pink hair, here is version of him from a universe where he is actually a girl, here is a version of him from a universe where he is a nigger!"
You cannot escape this insipid goyslop. Literally the only reason it seems to exist is so that they can sell more toys. Just print the same action figure but with the color palette changed so they can sell more toys with less effort to be unique.
Good stories end. Things like time travel and alternate/infinite realties ensure that the writers can just keep things going on forever because they can endlessly re-hash old plots, bring back dead characters, ect.
It hurts actual story telling. It removes the stakes if every character has infinite echoes and thus can be revived ad nauseum.
There was a time when time travel and "muh infinite everything" were unique ideas.
HG Wells "The time machine" and the HP Lovecraft story where everything is revealed to be an echo of a greater self, which means everything is a reflection of Yog-Sothoth.
But now all nuance is gone because it got copied too many times to be unique. Now it has lost all uniqueness.
Marvel has "muh infinite everything", but i stopped watching movies long ago so whatever. Dungeons and Dragons decided to put "muh infinite everything" in recently, and we all know how faggotized DND has become, sadly. Another big example would be that certain goyslop cartoon that I will not even mention by name due to how soy it is.
DR Who is another example of a goyslop show that added time travel and "Muh infinite timelines" for the sole purpose of dragging their shekel cow out for as many seasons as possible.
Animorphs may have been one of the earlier examples of a story incorporating both time travel and multiverses, just so they could stretch that book series out for as long as they could, but I actually like Animorphs. It felt more unique when they did it, and unlike the examples above, Animorphs eventually ended.
All good stories must end, after all.
Anyway, what do you guys think?
Is anyone else wary of the insipid goyslop story telling in the modern age?
It feels so.... copy paste, no?
