Alternate Universe: Difference between revisions

(update links)
Line 84:
* The ''[[Pony POV Series]]'' has such a thing. It's explained that all the worlds diverged from the [[The Earth Prime Theory|Heart World]] (implied to be the actual shows' timeline) and are effected by changes there, but can break off and continue on their own in the event the change in the Heart World is so great said universe can no longer harbor the connection. The ones the series itself focuses on are it's main timeline and the [[Bad Future|Discorded Timeline]], a [[Villain World]] ruled by Discord, but we also see a ''lot'' of alternate timelines which Princess Luna refers to as "possibilities and impossibilities". Applejack gets to see quite a few of them on two seperate occasions, the one that means the most to her being the Orangejack universe, where she never left Manehatten. {{spoiler|She eventually gets to meet Orangejack and they team up to fight Nightmare Mirror, Applejack's own [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] who may or may not be another alternate version of her. It also turns out Orangejack is an Element Of Generosity and there are universes were Applejack was one of the other Elements as well, all of which are summoned to fight Nightmare Mirror.}} There's also a universe were Rainbow Dash turned into Nightmare Manacle, another where Pinkie Pie turned into Nightmare Granfalloon, and another were the mane cast are the [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphing Power Ponies]] fighting a Goldar version of Gilda. Oh and {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie is actually the G3.5 Pinkie Pie and is how she is thanks to being left pretty much untouched by a [[Cosmic Retcon]] that turned that universe into the G4 universe.}}
* ''[[Streets of Rage Saga]]'', a 10-story saga based on the ''[[Streets of Rage]]'' game series (both the canon trilogy and several fan-made games and remakes based on said trilogy), takes place in a setting based on but highly different from the canon. Just a few brief examples, with the canon information in parentheses: Axel [[Parental Abandonment|lost his father in a fire]] that was set by the man who would later become [[The Dragon]] for the first story's [[Big Bad]] (in canon, no mention is made of Axel's family members); Blaze comes from a [[Doomed Hometown]] that was razed by [[The Syndicate]] (in canon, the only back-story on her is that she was a rookie cop who quit alongside Axel and Adam because of the force's corruption); and Mr. X is a U.S. senator with the full name of George Xetheus (in canon, his real name wasn't divulged and his role as a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] was only hinted at in canon and expounded on in Bombergames' remake).
* This trope runs rampant in the ''[[Undertale]]'' fandom, to the point where the most common [[Fandom Specific Plot]]s are "lets do an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] where the characters are some [[High Concept]]" and "let's do a [[Crossover Fic|crossover between AUs]]".
