Ghostbusters - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

That is correct, even within the movie. Egon Spengler exists in that universe.

Isn't Freddy Krüger supposed to be the same from the movie?

Yes, but fan made content can't technically be the same version without some kind of approval.

He does?

 

[Pro Bot]

There's a bust of Harold Ramis in the film, and there's this.

If I remember correctly in one of trailers they say it’s been “30 years” since the first Ghostbusters team operated

 

[Pro Bot]

That is accurate. It's a misleading way to trick people into thinking it's a sequel. I like to think that Dan Aykroyd's cab driver is Ray Stantz in a parallel universe, since he's aware of ghosts and their specific classes.

In the IDW comics of the 2016 movies, the OG Ghostbusters exolocity comes from and alternate universe.

 

[iceman109]

In the IDW comics, their was a multiverse crossover and the IDW and movie versions were treated as separate universes

 

[Pro Bot]

I think the original Ghostbusters exist, but as regular citizens. Just my take.

 

[iceman109]

Is it possible that the first Ghostbusters in the 2016 Universe were completely different people that were still stationed in the same fire house?

How many Ghostbusters Universes are their?

It is in the second post.

Return of the Ghostbusters (2007) uses Robert Englund's likeness, along with Jason Voorhees' Jason Goes to Hell appearance. I suppose Ghostbusters could be in the Slasherverse if one wanted it to be, but obviously we're literally talking about fanfiction. Validated fanfiction but fanfiction nonetheless, and it's only technically approved on the Ghostbusters side.

So, uh, Transformers, Freddy, Jason and the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis have counterparts in the Ghostbusters universe... not the first time that Jason and Transformers share a universe.

Are there any other times that fanfiction gets made canon? I feel like Doctor Who has done that before... wasn't there a fan comic that was made canon to Hotline Miami @JudgeDreddpool? It's cool but really weird that this happened. The original Ghostbusters are still active by 2005 in those fan films due to "Ghostbusters: The Animated Series" where they team up with the Denver crew. Very weird situation.

What’s the difference between the stylized version and realistic version of the Ghostbusters game?

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

wasn't there a fan comic that was made canon to Hotline Miami @JudgeDreddpool?

I already have that fan-comic (Hotline Miami: Carl) listed on the Hotline Miami timeline due to one of the developers stating it as canon (Word of God and all that), including a link to a readable version.

The stylized version is essentially the same story but a completely different game. Feels like it's a combination of the Ghostbusters and The Real Ghostbusters. Takes place in Dimension 11-W.

And the realistic is the main universe?

 

[Pro Bot]

Correct. The realistic version was considered the original "Ghostbusters III", before Afterlife released. It's also acknowledged as part of the IDW comic series, which is essentially a sequel to it. The player character is given the name Bryan Welsh and leads the Chicago Ghostbusters.

Do we know what universes their are in the TMNT Multiverse?

 

[Pro Bot]

Do we know what universes their are in the TMNT Universe?

Basically, every single TMNT thing. Including the comics, Including the shows, including the movies, including the Minecraft skins (literally shown as an alternate universe in one of the shows), including... the main Power Rangers universe, actually. Maybe including Stranger Things and Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also, the DCAU has a multiverse crossover with the 2012 CGI Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show.

I already have that fan-comic (Hotline Miami: Carl) listed on the Hotline Miami timeline due to one of the developers stating it as canon (Word of God and all that), including a link to a readable version.

Boy, it'd be cool if they did that for the Crisis on Earth-203 fan comic. Anyway, that's a good example of fanfiction being "canonised", which I guess applies to Ghostbusters even though it's really silly.
