Rule 50: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

[[Rules of the Internet|Internet Rule]] 50: Every franchise will eventually have a [[Crossover]] with every other franchise in some form. In other words, if it hasn't happened yet, someone's probably working on it now.

This trope includes any type of contact between franchises, whether it be physical or merely conceptual. See the image, which incorporates characters from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' and the graffiti meme from ''[[Silent Hill]]'' in a single piece of artwork (''Friendship is Magic'', in fact, may be the single most infamous example of this trope in ~~recent~~ ~~memory~~, having been crossed with everything from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' to ''[[Pokémon]]'' to ''[[King of the Hill]]'' to ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' to [[Fallout Equestria|even]] ''[[Fallout]]''). Another example is ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' meeting ''[[World of Warcraft]],'' two franchises with very different atmospheres.

''[[Ranma ½]]'' is an earlier claimant to the "most often crossed-over" crown.) Another example is ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' meeting ''[[World of Warcraft]],'' two franchises with very different atmospheres.

The resulting crossover may be [[Fan Art|art]] or [[Fan Fiction|fiction]]. It may be a delightful surprise, like finding out how well chocolate and peanut butter go together, or it may turn your stomach.
