Inspired by a post on a different sub exploring this scenario.

Let's imagine the following happening in a parallel universe: John Wick does not kill Santino (Let's say Winston successfully talked him down) like he does in the canon version of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017). Then, Wick completely one-ups Santino by basically doing the same thing Santino sought to do: he stays in the Continental INDEFINITELY until Santino calls off the bounty on him.

Santino, now that he has taken a seat at the High Table + his already large influence and power, he will definitely open another contract on John. Worldwide, even. The bounty will remain open indefinitely until the job is done.

Santino, on the other hand, does not want to stay in the hotel indefinitely and wants Wick dead ASAP.

Wick, however, decides he isn't moving from the Continental until Santino calls off the hit.

It's basically a game of chicken.

Now, let's remember something all the way back in John Wick: Chapter 1 (2014).There are literally people who are willing to break the rules and be denounced excommunicado (Perkins was one of them).

Thanks to this, John will have to watch his back. Santino could find some other way to screw John over and get him killed. While Winston could help somehow, he is still beneath the table, so I'd say the help he could give would be very minimal.

Given all this information, how does Wick NOT killing Santino at the end of Chapter 2 affect the franchise? Does this mean John Wick Chapters 3 (2019) and 4 (2023) no longer happen?

Let’s imagine that Lythronax was discovered years earlier and it was illegally cloned before being released onto Isla Sorna.

This means that Lythronax replaces the Spinosaurus as the main villain of Jurassic Park 3 (2001).

How does Jurassic Park 3 with a Lythronax instead of a Spinosaurus as the main Dino villain (if at all)?

How would Peter Parker/Spider-Man's life (and the films) be different if Steve Rogers mentored him instead of Tony Stark?

I think it'd be cool to have zombies in there as well.

What tech ends up being utilized from their respective knowledge bases? Does the resulting ship use phasers or blasters? Warp drive or hyperdrive? Photon or proton torpedoes? Hull armor or deflector arrays? Shuttles or transporter?

Given the respective limits, advantages, or disadvantages of the various technologies, what's the best case scenario for a vessel constructed by expert engineers from each universe (assuming all tech is compatible with the physical laws of the universe they're in)?

Sinario: Omni-Man like in the main universe arrives arrives on earth and kills a monster attacking a beach and ends up meeting Debbie and having Mark and raising him up to about 17. If Omni-Man still decides he has to kill the Justice League or get them out of the way somehow he'd have to get more creative in someway since brute strength won't work as pretty much all but 1 or 2 members of the League are way stronger and faster than him. Aside from Nolan, Mark, Debbie there are no other Invincible characters in the DC universe in this sinario.

Justice League Line Up: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash (Berry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Martian Manhunter, and Hawk Girl.

What if "The King of Pop" had been in Space Jam, reuniting with Michael Jordan by being the replacement fifth member of the team, helping them against the MonStars?

In Case You don't know, Demonreach (From the Dresden Files) is a powerful Multi-Dimension Temporal Prison built for holding countless horrors and holds over 6,000 Dark Gods and Demons that threaten Humanity !

What role would Alfred play in the story if he was in the Worm Universe ?

Bowser Jr doesn't want to become straight-up evil like his dad and would prefer that his dad didn't keep picking fights with Mario since his dad keeps losing. How does this go?

Just a fun thought I had (idk if its been asked before) but how would you think the gang would do if they were say, in The Last Of Us, Jurassic Park, Resident Evil, The Boys or another universe? Fun thought exercise I hope!
