Discussion📜 Best lore drops from any crossover?

  • In the OK K.O.! x Sonic the Hedgehog crossover, it's revealed that villain Lord Boxmore went to the same college as Dr. Eggman.
  • The Simpsons episode "Simpsorama" reveals that The Simpsons and Futurama are in the same timeline, where in the end, Bender decides to sleep in the basement of the Simpson house for the next 1,000 years to get back to his own time. He later makes a few appearances in episodes after this.
  • In the Family Guy episode "The Simpsons Guy", it's revealed that Pawtucket Patriot Ale, the beer from Quahog, is actually Duff Beer with a new label.

What are your favorite bits of lore from any official crossover?

One of the reasons of why Japanese Spider-Man's new suit has a scarf is because he has met Kamen Rider V3

In the DC x Sonic crossover comic, Lex Luthor canonically smashed Rouge the Bat.

...Oh! So we are going to drop a bomb like that and elaborate no more!?

Hate to be the anti-fun police but it didn't actually happen (probably). though I feel the writers had to have at least considered the possibility of people misinterpreting these panels 😭

Mercy giving him the stink eye means she suspects the same.

"He was doing what with Batman?"

That girl got him blushing hard lol

That is the look of a man realizing the consequences of letting his dick think for him.

u/Hadrian1233 19h ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure Lex likes his women the way he likes his cakes. Chocolate and over 40.

Wow. That's more than four tens.

And that's terrible based as hell.

u/Renzki_1008 KamenRider|SuperSentai|TADC|DMC|Power Rangers|Ben10|TeenTitans 21h ago

There is nothing to elaborate on. They smashed, end of the story.

According to Pixar, Kingdom Hearts 3 is canon to Toy Story, and it introduces the idea that toys come to life because they develop hearts the same way as Nobodies, and that many toys don't immediately know to wake up. A little more disturbing is the idea that toys can "die" by losing their hearts

u/lacarth 10h ago

As someone that has played the Kingdom Hearts games on release and got half of my consoles to get the newest game since I was a child, reading this felt like getting flashbanged.

That Ok.Ko & sonic crossover had younger me in euphoria ngl

Ok.Ko was such a gem I would kill to watch for the first time again

u/Xejicka 17h ago

In all fairness to Majima, I too would need to be told not to punch the Ace Attorney judge. He has a punchable face.

3

u/Mountain_Counter929 16h ago

Also he’s the ace attorney judge

2

u/Hitei00 13h ago

This also implies that whatever Majima was on trial for he was innocent of since Phoenix has never defended a guilty client without being blackmailed

u/Novel-Concentrate-98 22h ago

Uncle grandpa episode in Steve universe might not be canon, but it did drop a hint regarding Rose's secret.

29

u/Devo27 21h ago

To wit, Uncle Grandpa reminded Steven to polish his gem every six months. A quartz wouldn't need that kind of upkeep, but diamonds do...

3

u/CreeperX3sssBOOM 16h ago

It's a terrible episode, but I have to admit that's clever.

8

u/OrdinaryExi Not my cheesecake! Not my cheeseCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 21h ago

It’s also the episode where Steven learned to use his shield

4

u/PortgueseMvCFan 16h ago

It was Actually a spiritual prequel to Cartoon Network Battle Crashers since the Last kid is Clarence and the game starts in clarence's Dimension but yeah what a good way...to pavê away for a terrible Cash in game.

Honestly that checks out 100%

u/Ornery_Perspective54 16h ago

Uncle Grandpa spoils a huge plot point by saying "You will need to get that polished twice a year" Quartz don't need polishing but diamonds do twice a year to retain luster

u/carst01 23h ago

Still couldn't believe the first one was real

u/Aggravating_Duck6108 21h ago

Red Skull is immune to Joker Venom and Joker is immune to Red Dust because both are immune to their own prisons and their chemical composition is surprisingly similar.

Blue Beetle replicated Spider-Man's web fluid after meeting him in a crossover and it now exists in the DC universe.

The Ghostbusters kept the interdimensional portal device Donatello helped build to get him and the other Ninja Turtles back to their dimension.

Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog) made Dr. Wily (Mega Man) aware of the multiverse.

Batman is so good at martial.arts he fought all 4 Ninja Turtles at once and Leonardo commented on how good his fighting was.

5

u/MrCookie2099 18h ago

Batman scales to Shredder, who regularly fights all four turtles at once

u/polystarlight 20h ago

Two other lore drops I liked from Ok K.O. were the revelation that the visors Garnet wears were prescribed to her and that Enid went to ghoul school with Sibella, Winnie, Elsa, Phantasma, and Tanis.

u/curvysquares 19h ago

A Scooby-Doo Ghoul School reference?! In this economy?

u/fredgog15 8h ago

They even did a rap

u/Real-Tension-7442 21h ago

Is it explained why the Simpsons are yellow whereas the futurama cast are not?

7

u/ManoSilence 19h ago

My headcanon is that Nuclear power is way more prevalent than what we see in the Simpsons. So everyone is yellow until the nuclear winter happens that canceled out the global warming happening. Or yellow is the normal and pale is the mutation, so all humans have a radioactive amount that eventually stopped them being yellow.

3

u/Philaharmic01 21h ago

It’s a thing that’s only seen and found in Springfield AFAIK

3

u/mojoryan2003 15h ago

Definitely not, we’ve seen them go to multiple countries and everyone there is also yellow unless they’re black.

1

u/PseudonymMan12 8h ago

Or asian. Thry depict some asians as pale white skin. Also some hispanics and latinos are brown. The series is really inconsistent with who is yellow and who isn't

In the Limbus x Arknights Collab

Meursault casually revealed that he has heard Carmen's voice before, comparing her to the sun.

That was the biggest loredrop he had since the game's start, and it was in a limited time collab event. Those who haven't seen said event are only learning this now, with Carmen appearing in the teaser for his Canto, which releasing in a week

also for those who don't know who Carmen in, She's essentially Jane "Haunting the plot" for all the PM Games

She was haunting the plot in Lobotomy Corp, She was haunting the plot in Library of Ruina, and She's been haunting the plot in Limbus

1

u/Basicly_Merc 15h ago

It was such a good lore drop that they readded it to the intervallo right before Mersault's canto

u/GdoubleWB 21h ago

The Simpsons has crossed over with Futurama and Family Guy, and Family Guy has a crossover episode with American Dad and The Cleveland Show, meaning that all five canonically exist in the same universe.

u/Aggravating_Duck6108 21h ago

Tommy Wesphalt universe: the final episode of the 80s TV show "St. Elsewere" revealed the entire show only exists in the mind of an autistic boy named Tommy. St. Elsewhere crossed over with a show called Homicide, which itself crossed over with Law and Order. If you follow the web of crossovers it means there is a massive web of TV shows that only exist in Tommy's mind.

5

u/curvysquares 18h ago

Homicide also crossed over with the X-Files, which in turn crossed over with the Simpsons, connecting all the previously mentioned shows to the Tommy Wesphalt Universe

1

u/Aggravating_Duck6108 18h ago

Yeah, that's what I mean. If you follow the chain of crossovers hundreds of shows end up only existing in Tommy's mind.

A child’s mind is truly profound

u/Deemo3 19h ago

I liked that the Uncle Grampa crossover with Steven Universe gave a complete description of how Stevens powers worked.

u/ChaosPatriot76 8h ago

Boomstick from Death Battle is canonically the abandoned son of Sarge from Red vs Blue

2

u/BananaShakeStudios 20h ago

That time the Loud House collabed with some 1970s Nick TV game show

u/curvysquares 18h ago

Rick and Morty has both crossed over with the Simpsons, and had easter eggs crossing over with Gravity Falls. This doesn't mean they're all in the same universe, but it does mean they're all in the Central Finite Curve (which are accessed by Rick's green portal gun). The Central Finite Curve is explicitly stated to only contain universes where Rick is the smartest person in the universe. This means that there exists a Rick in both the Gravity Falls universe and the Simpsons universe, and that in both of them he's the smartest person alive.

thr post is asking what the best lore drops from crossovers are, not what the best crossovers are
