There is one major problem with the Westphall universe that nobody seems to want to address: Real people show up in our dreams all the time.
Tommy could easily have been "inspired" by an actual (in-universe) hospital, and merely imagined his dad among the staff.

Shame on you, sir, for not bringing up Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th dimension when you mentioned Yoyodyne.
It is clearly the most important thing on this list.

Let's see what video games we get from here. Well obviously Marvel vs Capcom, which links to pretty much every Capcom series, and therefore all the vs Capcoms. There was recently the one with Pacman playable (I believe Street Fighter vs Tekken, mark Tekken as another series). Pacman was a playable character in the arcade version of Mario Kart, so now the entirety of Mario continuity is connected. There were some Final Fantasy characters playable in Mario Hoops 3 on 3, and there was the Fortune Street game with Dragon Quest characters, both bringing us into Square Enix territory, but there's also Smash Bros, which links all of Nintendo to this, as well as Sonic who's been in a lot of games featuring a bunch of Sega characters and Snake, who was in that fighting game with Bomberman and Optimus Prime in it, so I guess we have the Transformers now too. Link was also a playable character in Soul Caliber II, which means those games get put into the mix. From there we can connect to Assassin's Creed, God of War (which connects to whatever series end up in PSASBR), and even Star Wars. The Star Tours attraction in Disneyland has a cameo from Mickey Mouse, who connects to a bunch of other Disney series through House of Mouse. He also had an appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit with a bunch of other cartoon characters, including Droopy who ties this all into Hanna Barbera continuity, and the Looney Toons who connect this whole mess to...the NBA?!Bullfrogg said:person427 said:

wait, but he is talking about the actors, for it to makes sense it should be the characters the actors portrait, not the actors themselfs
since robins is robin in what ever crossover he appears

I'm surprised Lost wasn't listed somewhere. I feel like I see it being referenced all the time in other media.
Anyways, while I find the Westphall theory interesting, I'm not sure I see how it's relevant to the original point (that comics need to relax their continuity). Forgive me for pointing out the obvious in what is just a thought experiment, but the majority of the examples listed are just references. This video would be better if it talked about how comics are too strict with their continuity, instead of listing media that falls under the Westphall theory. Or maybe if it went into the specifics of Mcduffie's argument. I mean, Even other comics. [http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c14/idcypher/Cat.jpg] If anything, the problem isn't that comics refuse to relax their continuity, it's that fans won't let it go when they do. How would comics be better if their continuity were not as strict? What does the genre have to gain from it? Maybe I'm just nitpicking (comic reader here, maybe I just can't help myself), but as it stands this video is just a list of easter eggs.

Could I see that chart for the video games? And I know you would have had to included the connections of Naughty Dog and Insomniac games, right?ANImaniac89 said:
I. I have no words. This is the most astounding thing I have ever seen. The moment I saw Sgt. Munch I just went "Oh fuck, this is going to be huge." And huge it was. Thank you, Bob. I will see you next week, when I have put my mind back together.
Don't know if it's part of that map, but some Simpson's characters have appeared in Family Guy and with all its references and cut-outs you might as well stop and just say everything.
As I understood it, Knight Rider is actually a spinoff of the original Battlestar Galactica. Some Cylon tech got sent back in time, and that's why the car has that scanning red light. I never really watched those shows, but that's what I heard. Anyway, does that mean that BSG is also part of this kid's imagination?
