I have been absolutely obsessed with IT: Welcome to Derry. I’ve read Stephen King as a kid and I get so happy with all the little easter eggs, story, lore, etc. Many characters, places he writes about can show up in another book and some movies have little easter eggs to both its original source material book vs. Other books or movies. Super cool.

Each episode has at least 20 minutes of Easter eggs

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

I’m one of the twelve people on lemmy who likes Marvel.

Daredevil show, Luke Cage show, and Jessica Jones show. Not the old time stuff. This was on Netflix not that long ago.

X-files and Twin Peaks.

Not really in the same universe technically, but sci-fi movies made by James Cameron and Ridley Scott tend to use the same aesthetic/tech as they didn’t in the Alien franchise so I have personally decided it’s all the same universe. If it had a Power Loader Mech or an Android, it counts.

Alien, Aliens, Avatar, Raised by Wolves, Blade Runner, whatever lol

Weyland Yuyani exists in Predator too, so obviously those are also in the same universe.

Stargate.

Ok, so, this is my favorite, not because I love the shows, although I do like some of them, but because it’s fun to chain links and how long you can make it.

We start with the “Munchiverse”, most people know Detective John Munch from his long career in Law & Order SVU, and obviously all of the Law and order are in the same universe, but also they’ve had crossovers with Chicago Fire which is in the same universe as Chicago PD and others. They’ve also had crossovers with FBI and New York Undercover. But I said this is the Munchiverse, and I only mentioned Munch once, this is where it gets interesting, X-Files has an episode where detective John Munch shows up, he also shows up in Arrested Development and The Beat. And going one extra link X-Files is canonically set in the same universe as Twin peaks. Going back to Munch, he’s originally from another TV show called Homicide: Life on the street, and in that TV show they investigate a doctor from the TV show St. Elsewhere, in that TV show someone mentions working with a Dr from M.A.S.H. I’m sure more links could be made.

I dunno if it counts, but all the DCAU. Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, Superman, Justice League, annd more, all slices at different times with crossovers.

And Young Justice isn’t technically a part of it, but it feels post DCAU in spirit.

Kingsman and kickass movies technically, the comics are mostly ass but I like the crossover

… I am stunned that on Lemmy of all places no one has yet said star trek!

The crime shows linked by Detective Munch.

Eureka and Warehouse 13.

TYPE/MOON created a bunch of stories that are disjoint from one another but are actually in the same universe and may have some faint connections.

Some of the works I’ve enjoyed:

• Fate/Stay Night & Fate/Zero
• Tsukihime
• Kara No Kyokai (Garden of Sinners)

Fionna and Cake + Cheers. “Everyone on Cheers is like 3 inches tall” was such a direct jab at the little-man attitude a celebrity can (and that cast fully did) develop. Hey Arnold looks like it MAY also take place in that universe I just can’t prove it yet.
