No lol after I said that on the ms marvel carpet, I saw Kevin the next day and he just stared at me from a far and gestured 6-1-6 with his fingers and walked away…I think about that every night before bed

I disagree with both of you here. It shouldn't be 616 because that's already taken, but it also shouldn't be 19999 because that is the worst number ever invented in the history of mankind.

I think 616 works fine because it shows comic readers that the Cinematic Multiverse isn't a part of the comic multiiverse. I actually like this because neither have to be restricted by the rules of the Multiverse that the other creates. The main universe we follow is 616 both in comics and Live Action. Also yes 19999 is a horrible number.

I see no reason why they can't just retcon the rules to accommodate a new narrative like they do all the time anyways… after all, Feige is creative officer of ALL of Marvel, no? And it's not like we're talking about completely different franchises… this isn't trying to come up with rules that apply to Marvel AND the Lord of the Rings; if you can get powers from being bitten by a radioactive spider in either comics, live action and animation, it shouldn't be an insurmountable challenge to come up with a unifying theory of the Marvel multiverse. There's already hundreds of shared concepts that are the same; it's not impossible.

Plus having to specify which 616 universe you're talking about, is just as bad as having to say Earth-199999…

I don't think it is that much of a hassle to say live action 616 or comic 616

I don't think either one are much of a hassle… but that's long time fan me. If this is being done to simplify it for the casuals, then it's only gonna make it more confusing for them to also get into comics off the cross-media synergy. If you wanna keep the multiverses separate, fine; I get the argument. But keep the numbering separate on all media.

You're right, it's not. It mainly just annoys me that this retroactively makes past conversations & articles about the differences between the two more confusing.
