The quote of mine that you originally replied to was in response to a post by Caliane. Where the DC writers chose 52 as the number of universes in the multiverse, then later doubled that number by making mirror universes of those 52. Marvel on the other hand is using the infinite multiverse as...

On a 10 point scale I would reserve 1 to 3 for movies that have all around shitty quality. Acting like Tommy Wiseau in The Room along with shitty sound production, shitty filming angles, shitty editing, and mistakes all around. While most of your list there would get at least a 4 just because...

I just got through Cardinal and Ordinal numbers, chief. I'm not sure I can make it through to the the exam!

How is a writer choosing some silly low number of universes in a finite multiverse more sensical than them calling it an "infinite multiverse"? I'm fairly positive they are choosing some number less than 1000 when writing a finite multiverse and not 1 to the power of one million, to the power...

This is a conversation about why the Hollywood multiverse plot device is retarded and has nothing to do with how the real world works (mostly).

This is where the infinite shenanigans come into play. Is it possible for Mark to turn into a duck, at least once? If it's possible, then in a multiverse with infinite universes in it, wouldn't that mean there are infinite universes in which Mark could turn into a duck? Without being able to...

This episode was a bit of a snore, btw.

In the scope of the discussion I agree that the multiverse in the multiverse theory, that is seemingly used in Hollywood, is infinite. To be clear though, I do not agree that our singular universe is infinite; as in, there are not an infinite number of stars, planets, or atoms in our universe. I...

Episode 2 up (by at least 7 CST).

How do you know it is unbelievably unlikely? How would you measure the infinite of universes to decide that?

Ok, so there is an event, the result of that event is either Mark turns into a duck, or stays a human. Once that catalyst happens there are now infinite universes where Mark is a duck, and infinite universes where he stays a human. How can you say there are more universes where Mark became a...

Araysar vs. Lightning Lord Rule - Thinks the USSR could have soloed the Nazis, when we all know it was the Italians that gave the Nazis an L. Ambiturner vs. Lanx - I had a neo-nazi car mechanic once, and he was still less racist than Lanx Pharmakos vs. Boozecube - Foler-lite Tuco vs. Foler - One...

Sorry, I guess it's how I was taught to write: First eliminate every first person singular pronoun that you can. Such as trying to minimize writing "in my own opinion" because it should be implied, when not directly siting sources. Second, most disagreements come from misunderstanding the words...

Never claimed to be an expert. My view of the multiverse theories is mostly from watching the Space Time astrophysics videos. They have a whole slew of them on the subject. I took physics and astrophysics classes (both intro level, as electives) in college too, but that was so long ago now, I'm...

When talking about whole numbers, infinity is infinity (I have no clue to explain it any differently). If that is the case, then there is no informed decision. Mark makes one choice an infinite amount of time, or he makes the opposite choice an infinite amount of times. Until I can think of a...

I believe the more "accepted" multiverse theory that physicist talk about only pertain to the laws of the universe. In that each can have a small degree of difference. In one gravity is slightly different, in another, the weak nuclear force is slightly different, in another the strong magnetic...

When talking about infinity all you can do is reduce it down to the underlying choice. There is no 3 out of 4 times in infinity, on a binary choice. Mark is given two options he does one or he does the other, nothing else matters when you inflate the numbers to infinity.

The filtering example is that we are filtering for events/choices. To use real numbers: We have 10,000 universes, 5000 support life, 5000 do not. Out of the 5000 that support life, 2500 have an earth, and 2500 do not. Out of the 2500 that have earth, 1250 have a Mark, 1250 do not. Out of the...

Simply because it is a binary choice and infinity is equal to infinity, in this case, since we are using whole numbers. To try to state it another way, you cant have more infinity of [object 1], than infinity of [object 2], if those are your only two options. In order for one choice to happen a...

Ok, so again, we are only talking about the chance that Mark helped his father subjugate earth because that is what started this whole conversation. All the other different arrangement of atoms that make up totally unconnected universe, where Mark did not have to make that choice, do not mater...

No, by you asking that question, it is clear that we are talking about two different things, but I don't know how to explain it any other way.

We are not talking about all verses in the multiverse, only a subsection of them. In this subsection there is a binary choice. Either Mark sides with his father and subjugates the earth, or he doesn't. Both occur the same amount of times, which is an infinite amount of times. If you wanted to...

You don't seem to understand infinity.

Sure, I can see if you have more options of outcome it would change the ratio, but that's a 1 out of 10 choice, this is a 1 out of 2 choice (he helps his dad subjugate earth or he doesn't). You can't just add additional outcomes to a binary choice, just because. Even if Galactus teleports Mark...

If there is some kind of limit on the amount of infinite multiverses, it would no longer be infinite?

That's basically saying the same thing, I guess. As I understand it, there can't be a majority of any event in an infinity of multiverses because there would be no way to measure it. If an event can either result in outcome 1 or outcome 2 (Mark sides with his father, or he doesn't), there should...

He said there can be a majority in infinity, I asked for clarification because I don't understand how there can be.

So what does the majority of a binary outcome, when both have an infinite number of instances, look like? Edit: As it relates to infinite multiverses.

Did they not invite The Critical Drinker to a screening so he can get his 0 day review done?!?

To make believable characters, the writers should be able to write them having bad/wrong opinions. The best I can distil it down to is: he is wrong and therefor your statement based on his wrong opinion doesn't add anything to your argument. As for the real life stuff I'm not sure wtf you even...

A finite multiverse would be even dumber than an infinite one, because then they would really need to try to make up some reason why it would be finite. I would wager that's a reason Marvel writers keep switching back and forth, because both are dumb, but trying to make it finite is harder to...

I agree that the human brain has a very difficult time understanding probability and statistics (mine included). There are an infinity of dimensions where Mark sided with his father, and there are an infinity of dimensions where he didn't, therefor there can be no majority. What someone...

There is no majority in something that is infinite, which is another reason why multiverse shit is shit. On your other points, I somewhat agree, but I think they tried to keep Nolan more like a sleeper plant from a spy show. Where he can't risk a child letting something slip, and possibly tip...

One Piece just showed how you can properly do fantasy and outlandish anime stuff in live action. Riot showed how successful a show based on a game can be if you keep total control over it (One Piece creator also had veto power). I would assume Nintendo is going to follow their lead, where they...

Nope, House of the Dragon has it's own thread. It's also a prequel, not a sequel to GoT.
