I actually quite like the MCU, especially Loki and Doctor Strange, any of the more magical-ish stuff. I even really like the avengers and Captain America stuff. I just have to shut off the political side of my brain sometimes to enjoy them, otherwise the Americaganda gets to me and bugs me.
Ok, so, this is my favorite, not because I love the shows, although I do like some of them, but because it's fun to chain links and how long you can make it.
We start with the "Munchiverse", most people know Detective John Munch from his long career in Law & Order SVU, and obviously all of the Law and order are in the same universe, but also they've had crossovers with Chicago Fire which is in the same universe as Chicago PD and others. They've also had crossovers with FBI and New York Undercover. But I said this is the Munchiverse, and I only mentioned Munch once, this is where it gets interesting, X-Files has an episode where detective John Munch shows up, he also shows up in Arrested Development and The Beat. And going one extra link X-Files is canonically set in the same universe as Twin peaks. Going back to Munch, he's originally from another TV show called Homicide: Life on the street, and in that TV show they investigate a doctor from the TV show St. Elsewhere, in that TV show someone mentions working with a Dr from M.A.S.H. I'm sure more links could be made.
I do know it’s huge. It was me mostly making a joke about many of the comments on the fediverse being doom and gloom, while Star Trek is about hope and bringing all walks of life together for the better good.
Family guy and the Simpsons. It was established canon in my head that the Simpsons were yellow,because that was just the art style. They're not actually yellow. Than the crossover happened and now I'm confused.
Fionna and Cake + Cheers. "Everyone on Cheers is like 3 inches tall" was such a direct jab at the little-man attitude a celebrity can (and that cast fully did) develop. Hey Arnold looks like it MAY also take place in that universe I just can't prove it yet.
Not really in the same universe technically, but sci-fi movies made by James Cameron and Ridley Scott tend to use the same aesthetic/tech as they didn’t in the Alien franchise so I have personally decided it’s all the same universe. If it had a Power Loader Mech or an Android, it counts.
Alien, Aliens, Avatar, Raised by Wolves, Blade Runner, whatever lol
Weyland Yuyani exists in Predator too, so obviously those are also in the same universe.
I have been absolutely obsessed with IT: Welcome to Derry. I've read Stephen King as a kid and I get so happy with all the little easter eggs, story, lore, etc. Many characters, places he writes about can show up in another book and some movies have little easter eggs to both its original source material book vs. Other books or movies. Super cool.

Eureka and Warehouse 13.
WindyRebel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 292d
This is a great example! Two totally separate shows about weird stuff and then they just do a cross over at a certain point and now they’re linked.
dharmacurious@slrpnk.net · 8 pts · 293d
... I am stunned that on Lemmy of all places no one has yet said star trek!
ApollosArrow@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 292d
It may be too hopeful of an IP for the people on the fediverse.
dharmacurious@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 292d
Star Trek is huge 'round these parts. One of the larger servers is trek themed, and there's a whole buncha trek coms on and off it

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Watching BCS now. Never seen BB but I heard if you like the pacing of BCS, you might not like BB, is this true?
I LOVE the slow narrative of BCS.

I do remember Homer saying at once point "Kiss my hairy yellow butt." So, they do know they're yellow.

Daredevil show, Luke Cage show, and Jessica Jones show. Not the old time stuff. This was on Netflix not that long ago.
pastermil@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 292d
Yeah, I watched them all. Shame they fumbled on the continuations.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 293d
I'd have to go with Bladerunner/Firefly/Alien/Predator all being in the same universe.
spittingimage@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 292d
What's the link between Firefly and the other ones?
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 292d
Weyland-Yutani
njm1314@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 291d
Is that really the same universe though or is it just an Easter egg?

Don't forget the inclusion of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack when Prismo is skipping through universe "channels!"
There's also a blue jay that looks suspiciously and sounds suspiciously like Mordecai from Regular Show in the Adventure Time episode "Ketchup."
Gravity Falls had a crossover reference with Rick & Morty. (GF would be the only non-Cartoon Network show in this theory)
Over The Garden Wall is canonically in the Clarence universe.
Samurai Jack has an episode that takes place in post apocalyptic Townsville from Powerpuff Girls.
We are getting closer to the grand unified theory of Cartoon Network.

Cloverfield movies. The same universe told from different perspectives.

Jackie Brown and Out of Sight

TYPE/MOON created a bunch of stories that are disjoint from one another but are actually in the same universe and may have some faint connections.
Some of the works I've enjoyed:
DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 289d
Dont forget lord el-melloi II's case files. Has both fate stuff and touko :)
Also witch on the holy night, which im still waiting for the anime to release

First time I'm hearing about this! Didn't know that guy Weaver took his dead teacher's name and have his own show lol
DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 288d
Start of the show explains why he had to take the name and im not spoiling it hehe
brucethemoose@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 292d
I dunno if it counts, but all the DCAU. Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, Superman, Justice League, annd more, all slices at different times with crossovers.
And Young Justice isn’t technically a part of it, but it feels post DCAU in spirit.

Each episode has at least 20 minutes of Easter eggs
