![]() The multiverse is only as limited as our imagination. In a different universe, we could be superheroes or presidents or rockstars or rugged adventurers or cosmic supervillains. Conceptually, the multiverse represents infinite possibility with an implicit invitation to fantasize different futures and pasts for ourselves. ![]() ![]() The problem is that many iterations of the multiverse are so terrestrially boring. It’s like how the Sex and the City producers talk about New York City as the fifth character, but if that fifth character was an extremely tedious, dull-looking energy drain. The entertainment behemoth has since made the multiverse the central figure in its grand storytelling design. ![]() To be fair, though, Sony’s zippy Spider-Verse franchise introduced the idea - parallel universes, alternate versions of ourselves, realms of endless possibility - in the first, stellar movie in 2018, years before Marvel went all-in on the concept. If there’s a complaint to be made about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it’s that it is yet another story about superheroes and the multiverse. ![]()
