Line #149 Trivia/InfinityCrisis


1	* ActingForTwo: Due to the series involving TheMultiverse heavily as well as HypotheticalCasting (as seen below), this is bound to happen often.
2	** In ''Chronicles of the Hex'', we have [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Spades Slick]] & [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} Murdoc Niccals]] discussing and both are noted to be voiced by Phil Cornwell. Later, in ''DEATHFAME'', it goes a level above as Murdoc & Slick meet the latter' AlternateSelf, Bec Noir, also voiced by Cornwell.
3	** Roger Craig Smith voices Sonic the Hedgehog in ''Another Side of the Glimpses'' and ''DEATHFAME'', as well as Weasel Kid in ''Chronicles of the Hex''.
4	** Kate O'Mara reprises her role as [[spoiler:the original iteration of]] the Rani in ''Return of the Rani'' & ''Rampage of the Rani'', but also voices Chandrelle Stormblaze in ''Chronicles of the Hex''.
5	** John Hurt plays both Rust [=McClain=] in ''Chronicles of the Hex''[[note]]The [=FanFiction=] version credits him as Rootbeer Reggie, but it got changed in the [=AO3=] version[[/note]] and the War Doctor in one of the trailers for ''DEATHFAME''.
6	** Kid Cudi is noted as the voice of [[Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues Candy!Gamzee Makara]] in The Pighead's stories and also plays both AsHimself and as his own clone in ''The Tugboat Tapestries, Part 3''.
7	** In addition to his role as Peacemaker in ''Women of Wonder'', John Cena also plays The Thing from ''Celestial Navigation'' onward (in-universe, this is explained by TheNthDoctor and [[spoiler:The Pighead using her powers on Ben Grimm]]).
8	** Idris Elba plays a whole new incarnation of the Valeyard in ''New Discoveries'', as well as an iteration of Knuckles the Echidna based on the movie version in ''The Exiled Doctor''.
9	* ActorSharedBackground: Thor's half-brother Balder in ''Infinity Crisis'' is played by Creator/LiamHemsworth. Liam is related to Creator/ChrisHemsworth, just like Thor.
10	* AnonymousAuthor: Nearly all the authors have pseudonyms (except Michael Weyer). Even more played straight with the author of the ''PAW Patrol'' and ''Go, Diego, Go!'' one-shots, who posted their works as an orphaned account on [=AO3=]. [[spoiler:One of their pseudonyms is under spoilers on the work page, but that's about it.]]
11	* DevelopmentGag: One of the main antagonists of ''Girl from TORONTO'' is Benny Blacktooth. The character was created for early drafts of ''Turning Red'' but was removed as the film was being further developed. [[spoiler:His nature as a cut character becomes later part of a plot point in ''Another Side of the Glimpses'', as Chapter 5 reveals that he never existed in the first place but was retroactively inserted into the continuity, thanks to the Wild Card' destroying the icebergs and performing heavy retcons.]]
12	** Chapter 6 of ''Another Side of the Glimpses'' has the fictional members of Music/{{Gorillaz}} as the primary focus. Some of the lines reference the first planned backstory for Phase 3, with Murdoc being an immortalist, Plastic Beach being the top of a giant trigger and the end of the world being caused.
13	* FandomNod: Chapter 9 of ''Another Side of the Glimpses'' is full of nods to the theories and proposed universes seen on the [[WMG/InfinityCrisis WMG page]] for the fic[[note]]In fact, by The Pighead' own admission, she wrote the chapter as a tribute to those.[[/note]], with many being confirmed as true. Can also count as an example of IKnewIt and/or AscendedFanon.
14	* HeAlsoDid: Michael Weyer previously wrote ''Fanfic/CivilWarHulk'', ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMysticForce'' and ''Fanfic/TheChroniclesOfTheFellowship''.
15	* HypotheticalCasting: Done for characters that appear in the later installments (and doesn't have official actors/voice-actors for them in general).

123	** ''Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Batfamily Christmas'' is dedicated to [=Batguy01=]' grandfather, his passing being what inspired Batguy to write this story.
124	** ''Infinity Crisis: The Inhumans'' is dedicated to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (creators of the Inhumans) as well as John Broome and Gil Kane (creators of the Green Lantern Corps).
125	** ''Infinity Crisis: Fire vs. Water'' is dedicated to Carl Burgos (creator of Jim Hammond, the Original Human Torch), and Bill Everett (creator of Namor the Sub-Mariner).
126	** ''Infinity Crisis: BAD Girls'' is dedicated to Creator/MarkGruenwald.
127	** ''Infinity Crisis Addendum: Forward and Backyard'' is dedicated to Janice Burgess, the late creator of ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans''.
128	* MissingEpisode: A one-shot posted on Wattpad, ''Ghost Stories'', and introducing [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] has been removed from the main Website/TVTropes page for leading to a dead link, indicating that it's gone for the time being. ''Excuse Me, Did Someone Saw the Keyblade Guy?'', by The Pighead, makes this removal a plot point.
129	* MutuallyFictional: In the second chapter of ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'', it's stated that in Earth-95, the Marvel characters are only comic-book characters... and then, the Avengers of Earth-191208 end up by accident in the former Earth and it's quickly stated that, in their Earth, ''Evangelion'' is only an anime (Janet & Hank Pym watched some of it in the past).
130	* OutOfOrder: ''All Kinds of Legends'' is a one-shot taking place after the yet-uncompleted ''Tomorrow's Guardians''.
131	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Weyer notes in a Commentary chapter at the end of the story that he had contemplated making [[spoiler:the Ancient One really a disguised Mordo]], and thought about having Thanos [[spoiler:reactivate Ultron]], but decided against both as it would overload the story with villains ([[spoiler:and he acknowledged that Ultron would be unlikely to listen to Thanos or his allies and would just start trying to destroy everyone rather than siding with Thanos specifically]]).
132	** Other ideas included having Barry and Nyssa among those "dusted"; [[spoiler: Kara rendered powerless but then lifting Thor's hammer to become a Lady Thor; Batman bringing Green Lantern's ring to find a replacement among the Marvel Earth; and Ross trying to arrest all the Avengers at the end only for the President to fire him.]]
133	** ''Infinity Crisis: The Inhumans'' originally was intended to be titled ''Inhuman Insanity''. However, the author nixed the name as he felt it was inappropriate for the story.
134	** In ''Tomorrow's Guardians'', [[spoiler:the writer originally planned to have Ultron completely take control of the Kaylons when he arrived in this universe; after the revelation of the Kaylons' true agenda in the ''Orville'' two-part "Identity", he adjusted that storyline so that Ultron now prompted them to implement their intended plans of conquest acting on his agenda rather than Ultron taking complete control of them for himself]].
135	** Before doing ''Of Mice and Mojo'', [=Ben2Dartmouth=] originally planned to write a story named ''The King of Skrull Island''. According to an author note, it would have told how Mojo Jojo teamed up with the Skrulls to plan the assassination of the world's best scientists by way of a fake island resort they would have set up. This story ended up being scrapped for unknown reasons, with the reveal of Skrull' presence on Earth-192 being the only holdover from that old concept.
136	** ''Undead & Unburied'' was originally going to be a crossover with ''Series/Batwoman2019'' however after Creator/RubyRose revealed her [[CreatorBacklash less than pleasant treatment]] by the show's producers and her costars the author decided to just keep it a Franchise/ScoobyDoo story as writing about anything relating to Earth-1's Gotham would have come off as awkward and insensitive.
137	** ''Infinity Crisis: The Return of the Rani'' could've had the Rani [[KilledOffscreen nonchalantly mention that she murdered the Street Sharks]], but the author decided not to go through with it since it would've been far too mean spirited.
138	** In her commentary for ''Another Side of the Glimpses'', Pighead noted a lot of ideas for scenes she had at the time who ultimately went scrapped:
139	*** Related to the HypotheticalCasting above, [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Jack English]] was originally supposed to be voiced by [[Music/{{Slayer}} Tom Araya]] before Pighead went with Phil Cornwell. She also stated that she originally didn't plan to imagine a full casting before changing her mind late into writing.
140	*** In Chapter 2, the author originally planned to write a scene in which an alternate Luigi based on the infamous ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'''s beta "Game Over" screen would have saved Mario at the last minute by possessing Jack English' body. Afterwards, he would have told his story to him (he was the SoleSurvivor of a gang of monstrous versions of Mario & Luigi that Jack already slaughtered offscreen), convincing Prime Mario to pursue and stop him. It got changed, as Pighead felt that [[spoiler: the use of the infamous "Backwards Long Jump" glitch served better as {{Foreshadowing}} of her AuthorAvatar' destruction of the icebergs]].
141	*** The skit starring [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear]] in Chapter 3 served as a replacement of another idea in which [[spoiler:the fictional Pighead]] would have filmed herself talking and doing freestyle raps OnceAnEpisode about the current events happening in ''Infinity Crisis''. We still see one of those raps in Chapter 8 but the initial idea has been mostly abandoned since the author didn't feel there was a need for that.
142	*** Still in Chapter 3, there was several scenes who also went unused: an extended version of the scene showing a large group of Raving Rabbids invading Spiral Hill, Whisper the Wolf shooting Jack English in the head during the fight while hidden, Dr. Starline & Neo Metal Sonic meeting up to discuss the recent events (with the latter taking over the Eggman Empire for herself instead of searching for Dr. Eggman) and a scene showing two versions of Knuckles the Echidna, one being a Skrull trying to live peacefully in Earth-1991.
143	*** The first version of the discussion between Sonic & Richard shown in Chapter 4 was very different from the final one: originally, said discussion would happen after Sonic, Blaze & Tangle managed to flee from Jack English and Richard was supposed to be alone (with his mask being on Tangle' face, in a manner similar to his hallucination-like appearances in ''Hotline Miami 2'') in order to give his cryptic warnings. The plan was scrapped because Pighead wanted to bring back Don Juan & Rasmus and because the scene being put before Chapter 3 in the timeline worked better.
144	*** D.E.L.I.L.A.H.' "siblings", who got introduced in Chapter 4, were originally supposed to stay an invisible threat, with the original doing this revelation at the same time she was explaining her own backstory.
145	*** Still about Chapter 4, the original plan was to show the group of Rabbids in Earth-2009 being teleported away while fighting the VideoGame/{{Broforce}}, the onscreen fight between Jack English & [[VideoGame/NotAHero BunnyLord]] and the introductions of Martin Brown & Evan Wright, another ''Hotline Miami'' characters. The only thing who was used was Martin' introduction, in Chapter 7. At one point, Pighead also planned to reveal that Dr. Eggman was teleported in Earth-2009 while already amnesiac and as Mr. Tinker and met [[VideoGame/{{Pikuniku}} Mr. Sunshine]], still alive after floating in space for a long time. This went also unused.
146	*** In Chapter 6, it was planned to shown the Gorillaz holding an audition for a new bassist and choosing Ace as their final choice, the full bank robbing orchestrated by the Fans (with Weasel Kid as a minor casualty, as he would have been shot in the leg, and UB!Clef & Kondraki as the ones running the operation) and the introduction of [[Characters/SupermanSuperboyPrime Superboy-Prime]], who would have come from the same Earth as the Gorillaz (making Murdoc the one responsible for the loss of his family and his girlfriend rather than the Anti-Monitor).
147	*** Related to what was said about Martin Brown' introduction, Pighead first intended to do a shorter scene showing Martin sitting in a waiting room before meeting D.E.L.I.L.A.H. and [[spoiler: Trevor Slattery]]. Then, she thought about showing [[spoiler: her fictional self]] being attacked by a bunch of Skrulls and killing them onscreen before going with the final scene as she considers herself bad at writing fight scenes.
148	*** The characters from the ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'' were originally supposed to have their own separate Earth before Pighead decided to set them on Earth-413.
149	*** Chapter 9 was originally intended as a direct sequel to Chapter 4, in which the scenes scrapped for that one would have been repurposed, with D.E.L.I.L.A.H. still serving as the narrator. The plan was completely abandoned after Pighead took a look at the WMG page of the fic and decided it was a more interesting subject (in addition of wanting to [[MilestoneCelebration celebrate the 1 000 views]] on the series).
150	*** Chapter 10 was going to feature appearances of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans & Papyrus]] during the segment on Earth-413.
151	*** At one point, Pighead planned to expand a bit on the parts of the narrative related to Creator/{{Valve}} characters, with [[VideoGame/HalfLife Alyx Vance]] (more specifically, [[spoiler: the version of her shown in ''VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx'', qualified in the commentary as a "post-retcon" version of her]]) being freed and hired by [[spoiler: the fictional Pighead]] before showing up in the last chapter to fight Dreadpool. This went unused, as the author admitted she wasn't really interested in doing so.
152	** While making the full version of the list first showed in ''New Discoveries'', Pighead had several ideas for villains that ended up being cut for the definitive version. Said villains were the Joker, the murderous Earth-99 Batman, Skeletor & Hordak, the Psycho-Pirate, the Derichets, Nyx, Doctor Sheng, the Ultra-Humanite, Lord Frieza, Super Buu, the Batman Who Laughs, John Sublime, Tenebrae & Handsome Jack. In a similar way, Jack Spicer was close to be written off, but Movie-Brat (who co-wrote ''New Discoveries'') objected and Jack kept his spot on.
153	* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: The author's notes for the last chapter of ''Distant Cousins'' admits that [[spoiler:ComicBook/{{Steel}} helping in the Doomsday fight and the Doctor's encounter with [[Series/Loki2021 the TVA]]]] were last-minute additions.
154	** In ''Another Side of the Glimpses'', it is noted on the commentary that D.E.L.I.L.A.H.' appearance and increased importance wasn't planned at all: she originally wanted to just use the "LIL_HEAD" name as a ShoutOut. It's only after the author watched a video by [=YouTuber=] Red Herring about the Adult Swim ARG that she decided to add characters and concepts from it into the narrative. Also, everything in WhatCouldHaveBeen above shows that Pighead uses this method a lot.
