Question

[yendi]

If Marvel has a crossover in which the Ultimate Fantastic Four cross over to the Earth-616 "real" Marvel Universe, will characters from the latter point at Ben Grimm and say, "look! It's the Thing From Another World?"

Or maybe they'd just point at both Things and say, "Look! The Brothers Grimm!"

Okay, you win. That was much worse.

oh, man -- now they're going to actually do the Ultimate/616 crossovers, just because you said that.

I don't know why I feel disappointed by that, since I've long given up on the Marvel people. I went back a few times and then realized I was being abused.

[yendi]

Oh, I don't doubt they're planning said crossover, anyway. I mean, they've already had both universes cross over with two other ones (2149 [the zombieverse] and 712 [Squadron Supreme]).

i'm almost afraid to ask, but what's with the goofy numbers?

[yendi]

Marvel finally acknowledged that they had multiple universes, and to avoid looking like DC and naming the "main" universe Earth 1, called it Earth 616. They've started numbering the other universes, as well.

Bad! Bad!

[yendi]

But I feel so good!

Either way, there'd be a great deal of messing with Things and that's not appropriate for today's youth.

[yendi]

Very true.

Ugh.

[yendi]

Thank you. The disgusted grunt is the second-highest form of compliment a pun can receive (and death threats are frowned upon nowadays).

If the storyline revolved around the Grimms planning an orgy involving their respective Alicia Masters, the arc could be entitled "Things to Come."

[yendi]

Oy.

Ben Grimm and say, "look! It's the Thing From Another World?"

Grimmshot, actually.
