    I still think, when people today talk about the multiverse, they usually mean not just parallel universes, but parallel timelines. Like in the MCU where there are all sorts of different versions of earth, but most are pretty recognizable. I realize the definition doesn’t depend on that, but it seems to be the common usage.

      I remember talking about the multiverse while passing around a doobie, way before Marvel’s Cinematic Universe so let’s agree to disagree here.
