EP 47: MULTIVERSES SUCK (MCU effect, is it good for story telling, etc)

Multiverses are becoming huge right now. Spiderverse, Rick and Morty, now the MCU has multiverses because of Loki. Comic books have always done multiple realities. Is this a good direction for story telling to go in? Is it a clever idea? Multiverse - a theoretical reality that includes a possibly infinite number of parallel universes Examples: Rick and Morty The Man in the High Castle Stranger Things Fringe Dark Community Star Trek (numerous episodes of various series and movies) Donnie Darko Into the Spider-verse The Cloverfield Paradox The Twilight Zone Some of these shows we might like or enjoy somewhat, and some of them handle the idea of parallel realities well. we talk a bit about them For the most part, are they shortcuts in storytelling to try to blow a viewer’s mind or get really trippy? Does it even blow anyones mind anymore because it has now been done so much?  thanks for listening, watch on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyDf4ZP_nOMa75J5WNSTqA
