Originally posted by operator616 what's important is the writer's intention, in which case, Steve certainly didn't

No one said he did. Still doesn't change the facts though which pertain by default.
Originally posted by operator616 It's from what if v2 #35, part of timequake, which is canon (it's also referenced in
a couple of other bios as well), from blockbusters of the marvel universe handbook
That's a badass arc, I loved that read. It is a What if so technically here it isn't canon,
but for those who know It also involves everything so imo it's acceptable.
Unfortunately it's a statement that holds no weight since it didn't come from Mordo/Strange,
who were the only ones there. I have to also re-read that issue where you got that from,
I'm interested in getting the details for myself. We'll touch base on this again.
Originally posted by operator616 I think you're just going beyond what was intended in the story.
Ok, 616 is one era, the others are divergent realities, but there are
still other realities which don't diverge / don't have anything to do with 616 and can't be reached by time travel.
I'm not going anywhere further than Marvel Cosmology permits,
but that's actually a good point you made.
I'm figuring Stevie didn't take that into account, or it wasn't a priority to write in,
and by the time SN reached the "dawn of time," that was it.
Technically speaking, across many books, 616 was first, (space-time speaking)
then everything came afterwards. So, before 616 = nothing, or the void basically.
Originally posted by operator616 Imo, and now that i think of it, Steve may as well didn't intend to use other eras as
other realities. I mean.....it's not like the term "alternate reality" wasn't used in 1974,
here's 1 example from fantastic four issue around the same year (1974):
Your opinion is respected.
But, opr it's not our problem if that were the case. Just like it's not our problem
Dorkin didn't mean to turn Mxy into a multi-mutliversal maker.
I personally got that info from WF's writer himself, just like Comicvine went knocking on Stevie's door,
believe me, I learned my lesson well via certain DC pros here at kmc,
these writers are out the loop concerning the after-affects of their work.
Yet again, not our problem, so we go by On Panel showings and figure things out for ourselves.
There's no point to kmc or other forums if we're gonna run to writers for answers now,
not that Stevie completely discounted our interpretation, in fact he left his answer kinda vague,
and, he did say whatever is in the book, is what it is. And well ... that's what it is. 🙂
