Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.02,0:00:07.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Red: Hello everybody, and welcome to another very special Detail Diatribe. I don’t know why I said very special,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.43,0:00:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is pretty much on brand for the other Detail Diatribes we’ve done so far.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.06,0:00:14.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s not a special holiday event or whatever. But I’m excited about this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.78,0:00:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Blue: Medium-special at best, but still very exciting! \NR: Moderately special, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.74,0:00:26.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the grand calculus of the multiverse. \NB: Somewhere, Red and Blue are sitting down
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.39,0:00:34.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to record a Detail Diatribe that is the most special Detail Diatribe ever. But we’re not in that multiverse.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.49,0:00:39.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,R: No, we’re in this timeline instead. In case you didn’t pick up what we’re putting down,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.32,0:00:47.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the subject of today’s Detail Diatribe is something that I have been mulling over for a while now, and I like to call it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.12,0:00:54.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“the multiverse problem”. And to explain what exactly the multiverse problem is, I’ve prepared a handy-dandy,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.23,0:00:58.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,super efficient 40 slide slideshow-\NB: Yes, Yes!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.79,0:01:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,R: -to discuss what exactly is going on. So, to start we must define the parameters
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.50,0:01:11.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we’re going to be operating on. What is a multiverse? Now obviously, in this specific context
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.46,0:01:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are discussing fictional multiverses, not Real Multiverse Theory, none of that stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.04,0:01:21.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not particularly interesting to me. But in fiction the concept of a multiverse is essentially a setting
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.06,0:01:26.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that contains multiple universes or timelines, and the setting that the protagonists - the main characters -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.67,0:01:31.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are from is typically just one universe out of many, a story that will often introduce the concept
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.75,0:01:36.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a multiverse in the context of a plotline that threatens the integrity of this home universe,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.74,0:01:42.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like a bad future timeline or a threat that’s moving across dimensions or an evil alternate version
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.28,0:01:46.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of themselves intruding, stuff like that. It’s a very, very broad concept that covers a lot of ground.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.83,0:01:52.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of that ground is just fine, some of that ground is very, very bad. So let’s talk about it!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.16,0:02:00.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,B: This is exciting, because I have passing familiarity with some multiverse stories in kids’ media,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.01,0:02:02.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like evil Danny Phantom and stuff like that.\NR: Oh yeah, yeah. That’s on my list.
