* HilariousInHindsight:
** The main story has Barry and the Legends talking of the dangers of going back in time to stop Thanos as that can cause more damage to the timeline and openly state "time travel is not an option." Then [[spoiler: ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' uses time travel as the main focus (albeit with the Avengers just trying to 'trick' history rather than explicitly change it as was speculated here)]].
** The idea of [[spoiler:Jane Foster picking up Mjolnir to gain Thor's powers becomes when ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'' does the same.]]
** The ending of the second chapter of ''Tomorrow's Guardians'' has [[spoiler:Ultron leading the Kaylonian race in exterminating a planet.]] This was ''before'' [[spoiler:''Series/TheOrville'' revealed that the Kaylonians had, in fact, wiped out their own creators and were planning to conquer the galaxy.]]
** The world of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' being visited here by the Barry Allens of the Arrowverse and the DCEU [[spoiler: bringing back Bart Allen after his disappearance in the Season 11 comics]] becomes this with the world of the show appearing during the second hour of ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' and having Iris and the Earth-38 version of Lois meet the Smallville version.
** Black Lightning pops up in the third chapter as a late arrival who has lost his entire family in the "Snap" and uses his electrical powers to charge up a device for the Flashes...which is almost exactly what he does in ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''.
** In ''Distant Cousins'' Earth-38 Lex Luthor is unable to comprehend the obvious idea that Clark Kent and Superman are one and the same. Come ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' Hour Two reveals that this is indeed the case.
** The fics imagine that the world of ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'' exists on the Earth-1 of the Arrowverse. ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' then states that it's actually part of the multiverse as Earth-666.
** On the topic of different Arrowverse series taking place on Earth-1 in the Infinity Crisis universe, Black Lightning's tie-in to Crisis titled "Book of Resistance Chapter 4: Earth Crisis" gives us its Earth-1 versions of Jefferson and Jennifer Pierce.
** Black Lightning is shown to be active on Earth-1 here while it's unclear which world he's part of in the show, with ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' showing that the show is set on a different Earth entirely. [[spoiler: The event ends with his world merging with Earth-1 and Earth-38 to create Earth-Prime, meaning Black Lightning does exist on the same earth as the Green Arrow and the Flash now.]]
** The appearance of the DCEU characters becomes this with ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' [[spoiler: having the DCEU Flash meet with the Earth-1 version during the fourth hour of the event. It even has Earth-1 Barry revealing information that DCEU Barry isn't aware of: the existence of Eobard Thawne in ''Infinite Crisis'', the name Flash in ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''.]]
** Earth-21 is designated as the world of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' here. ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' would show that Earth-21 is the world where ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' is set.
*** As of Chapter 8 of ''Counterpart Conferences'', ''Smallville'' has been relocated to Earth-167.
** The introduction of the Fantastic Four and the X-Men becomes this with Disney's purchasing of 20th Century Fox allowing Marvel Studios to use the characters and announcing plans to introduce them in the MCU at SDCC 2019.
** The DCEU Green Lantern John Stewart is revealed to be an alternate counterpart of John Diggle, who changed his last name because he didn't like it. Then the final seasons of ''Arrow'' show that Dig ''really is'' an alternate John Stewart -- a Season 7 episode reveals that Stewart is his stepfather's surname, which he refused to take as his own, while the last shot of him in the series finale has him finding something implied to be a GL ring.
** [[spoiler: According to Lucifer, Mephisto is the entity responsible for all the really negative things he's meant to have done. Then comes season 5, we learn it was actually his twin brother Michael, who's every bit as despicable as everyone had believed the Devil to be.]]
** ''Brothers of Thunder''
*** The story involves Lokia, the female Loki of Earth-91111... and then ''Series/Loki2021'' [[spoiler: has an alternate reality female Loki. In this case, she's known as Sylvie Laufeydottir, a CompositeCharacter between Loki's female form and Sylvie Lushton (the second Enchantress)]].
*** [[spoiler:Loki using his illusion powers to fake his death at Thanos's hands]] is what caused another alternate Loki to diverge from his Sacred Timeline variant.
*** Jane Foster asks Earth-8096 Hawkeye if his wife seriously lets him walk around in his comic-accurate costume. ''Series/Hawkeye2021'' would do a similar joke when Kate Bishop shows Clint a sketch of a potential new costume (basically the comic's costume) and Clint snarks that his wife would divorce him if he wore anything like that.
*** The story also features a gender-flipped universe whose Captain America, ''Stephanie'' Rogers, had to deal with the sexism of the 40s to prove herself as a hero. Then the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' comes along and shows a reality where Peggy Carter became the super soldier instead of Steve Rogers and indeed had to deal with sexism diminishing her role. To make it even funnier, this version of Peggy and Steve show up in ''Batman Family'' less than a week after their debut.
** ''Powers and Marvels'' depiction of the Mandarin is quite amusing now that we've seen the canonical "Mandarin" Xu Wenwu in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'';
*** While the fic has the Mandarin actively unleash Fin Fang Foom to try to kill the heroes, Xu Wenwu [[spoiler:unleashes the Dweller-in-Darkness, another giant monster, only due to being manipulated by it, and ends up sacrificing himself to save Shang-Chi.]]
*** While the fic depicts the Mandarin as having gruesomely killed Trevor Slattery due to being outraged at Killian's scheme besmirching the name "Mandarin" ([[spoiler:his death didn't last, if Chapter 7 of ''Another Side of the Glimpses'' is anything to go by]]), Xu Wenwu [[spoiler: spared him and simply kept him captive because he and his men found his acting to be entertaining, and also states that he found the ruse funny due to Killian having all of the Americans terrified of "a chicken dish"]].
*** While the fic depicts the Mandarin as being disgusted with the "Western world", particularly Tony Stark, and having that be one of his primary motivations, one of Xu Wenwu's top men is Razor Fist, a white Romanian man, and he doesn't even seem to care enough to mention Tony at all. While both the fic and the movie depict him being sexist towards women, it comes across as far less malicious in the latter, with it simply being that he doesn't want female soldiers serving him.
*** While the fic has the Mandarin dressed in traditional robes, having the classic beard, and fan casts Creator/DonnieYen as him, Wenwu only wears such outfits in flashbacks to the ancient past and otherwise prefers more contemporary clothing, is clean-shaven, and was only ''almost'' played by Donnie Yen.
** ''Of Kryptonians and Queens'':
*** Lena [[spoiler:basically being the good half of Morgan Le Fey is amusing when the final season of ''Supergirl'' shows that Lena does in fact have magical powers of her own.]]
** The story has Cat Grant retaking control of [=CatCo=] after getting over her midlife crisis, and revealing to Kara that she's aware of her secret identity. Both of these things ultimately happen in the ''Supergirl'' series finale.
** The use of Norman Osborn in ''Gamma Relations'' and ''Justice Like Lightning'' becomes this after [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' has the Film/SpiderManTrilogy version of Norman learn that he apparently doesn't exist in the MCU, [[AmbiguousSituation as far as he knows]].]]
** The HypotheticalCasting for Amora the Enchantress is Creator/CharlizeTheron. In [[spoiler: ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', Theron turns out to be playing Clea]].
** In ''Gamma Relations'', people are surprised that when Jennifer Walters becomes She-Hulk, she retains her normal personality. In ''Celestial Navigation'', Jennifer also starts BreakingTheFourthWall. Both these things happen in the first episode of ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw''.
** In ''Women of Wonder,'' the HypotheticalCasting for Zatanna is Creator/AlexandraDaddario. Daddario would star as a witch in the series ''Series/MayfairWitches''.
** The MythArc across several stories about [[spoiler: a villainous RenegadeSplinterFaction of Skrulls]] becomes this when ''Series/SecretInvasion2023'' was announced to have the same antagonists.
** In ''Salvation Run'', Talos states that Skrulls don't do KillAndReplace as they prefer keeping their subjects alive to find out details of their lives. ''Series/SecretInvasion2023'' sure enough shows Skrulls using a device to hold captives and access their memories.
** One of the main plot points in ''Rampage of the Rani'' is the fact that Mei's friends end up being transformed into red pandas, thanks to the Rani. Several months after the finale of this story, Disney released an advent calendar with a bunch of stories. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ecyD2XG4c One of them]], ''Turning Red: Panda Up!'', shows Mei's friends actually becoming red pandas (however, here, it was by accident and the transformation is temporary).
** ''Undead & Unburied'', released in 2021, introduced an Arrowverse version of Mystery, Inc. Cut to 2024 and [[https://deadline.com/2024/04/scooby-doo-live-action-series-netflix-greg-berlanti-josh-appelbaum-scott-rosenberg-1235898662/ the announcement that Berlanti Productions was making their own ''Scooby-Doo'' TV show...]]

** [[spoiler: According to Lucifer, Mephisto is the entity responsible for all the really negative things he's meant to have done. Then comes season 5, we learn it was actually his twin brother Michael, who's every bit as despicable as everyone had believed the Devil to be.]]
** ''Brothers of Thunder''
*** The story involves Lokia, the female Loki of Earth-91111... and then ''Series/Loki2021'' [[spoiler: has an alternate reality female Loki. In this case, she's known as Sylvie Laufeydottir, a CompositeCharacter between Loki's female form and Sylvie Lushton (the second Enchantress)]].
*** [[spoiler:Loki using his illusion powers to fake his death at Thanos's hands]] is what caused another alternate Loki to diverge from his Sacred Timeline variant.
*** Jane Foster asks Earth-8096 Hawkeye if his wife seriously lets him walk around in his comic-accurate costume. ''Series/Hawkeye2021'' would do a similar joke when Kate Bishop shows Clint a sketch of a potential new costume (basically the comic's costume) and Clint snarks that his wife would divorce him if he wore anything like that.
*** The story also features a gender-flipped universe whose Captain America, ''Stephanie'' Rogers, had to deal with the sexism of the 40s to prove herself as a hero. Then the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' comes along and shows a reality where Peggy Carter became the super soldier instead of Steve Rogers and indeed had to deal with sexism diminishing her role. To make it even funnier, this version of Peggy and Steve show up in ''Batman Family'' less than a week after their debut.
** ''Powers and Marvels'' depiction of the Mandarin is quite amusing now that we've seen the canonical "Mandarin" Xu Wenwu in ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'';
*** While the fic has the Mandarin actively unleash Fin Fang Foom to try to kill the heroes, Xu Wenwu [[spoiler:unleashes the Dweller-in-Darkness, another giant monster, only due to being manipulated by it, and ends up sacrificing himself to save Shang-Chi.]]
*** While the fic depicts the Mandarin as having gruesomely killed Trevor Slattery due to being outraged at Killian's scheme besmirching the name "Mandarin" ([[spoiler:his death didn't last, if Chapter 7 of ''Another Side of the Glimpses'' is anything to go by]]), Xu Wenwu [[spoiler: spared him and simply kept him captive because he and his men found his acting to be entertaining, and also states that he found the ruse funny due to Killian having all of the Americans terrified of "a chicken dish"]].
*** While the fic depicts the Mandarin as being disgusted with the "Western world", particularly Tony Stark, and having that be one of his primary motivations, one of Xu Wenwu's top men is Razor Fist, a white Romanian man, and he doesn't even seem to care enough to mention Tony at all. While both the fic and the movie depict him being sexist towards women, it comes across as far less malicious in the latter, with it simply being that he doesn't want female soldiers serving him.
*** While the fic has the Mandarin dressed in traditional robes, having the classic beard, and fan casts Creator/DonnieYen as him, Wenwu only wears such outfits in flashbacks to the ancient past and otherwise prefers more contemporary clothing, is clean-shaven, and was only ''almost'' played by Donnie Yen.
** ''Of Kryptonians and Queens'':
*** Lena [[spoiler:basically being the good half of Morgan Le Fey is amusing when the final season of ''Supergirl'' shows that Lena does in fact have magical powers of her own.]]
** The story has Cat Grant retaking control of [=CatCo=] after getting over her midlife crisis, and revealing to Kara that she's aware of her secret identity. Both of these things ultimately happen in the ''Supergirl'' series finale.
** The use of Norman Osborn in ''Gamma Relations'' and ''Justice Like Lightning'' becomes this after [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' has the Film/SpiderManTrilogy version of Norman learn that he apparently doesn't exist in the MCU, [[AmbiguousSituation as far as he knows]].]]
** The HypotheticalCasting for Amora the Enchantress is Creator/CharlizeTheron. In [[spoiler: ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', Theron turns out to be playing Clea]].
** In ''Gamma Relations'', people are surprised that when Jennifer Walters becomes She-Hulk, she retains her normal personality. In ''Celestial Navigation'', Jennifer also starts BreakingTheFourthWall. Both these things happen in the first episode of ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw''.
** In ''Women of Wonder,'' the HypotheticalCasting for Zatanna is Creator/AlexandraDaddario. Daddario would star as a witch in the series ''Series/MayfairWitches''.
** The MythArc across several stories about [[spoiler: a villainous RenegadeSplinterFaction of Skrulls]] becomes this when ''Series/SecretInvasion2023'' was announced to have the same antagonists.
** In ''Salvation Run'', Talos states that Skrulls don't do KillAndReplace as they prefer keeping their subjects alive to find out details of their lives. ''Series/SecretInvasion2023'' sure enough shows Skrulls using a device to hold captives and access their memories.
** One of the main plot points in ''Rampage of the Rani'' is the fact that Mei's friends end up being transformed into red pandas, thanks to the Rani. Several months after the finale of this story, Disney released an advent calendar with a bunch of stories. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ecyD2XG4c One of them]], ''Turning Red: Panda Up!'', shows Mei's friends actually becoming red pandas (however, here, it was by accident and the transformation is temporary).
** ''Undead & Unburied'', released in 2021, introduced an Arrowverse version of Mystery, Inc. Cut to 2024 and [[https://deadline.com/2024/04/scooby-doo-live-action-series-netflix-greg-berlanti-josh-appelbaum-scott-rosenberg-1235898662/ the announcement that Berlanti Productions was making their own ''Scooby-Doo'' TV show...]]

** Chapter 4 had a bit where Shuri tells Tony Stark she built a suit of armor just like his in her room when she was just 5 years old. After some reader complaints of that being too much, it was amended with a line later in the chapter of Shuri admitting she was just trolling Tony.
** The first chapter of ''Tomorrow's Guardians'' had Alara on the crew of the ''Orville''. Right after publication, the character was written out when the actress left the show. It was thus altered to replace Alara with the character of Talla.
** After [[spoiler: she's split off from Lena Luthor, Morgan Le Fay is shown in ''Counterpart Conferences'' to have altered her appearance to now look like Creator/ElizabethHurley as Morgan in the ''Series/{{Runaways 2017}}'' show.]]
** It had been said that the Sara of Earth-2 died with her Oliver on the yacht sinking. Then the ''Arrow'' series had Black Siren revealing she was still alive. In ''Tomorrow's Guardians'', it's explained by Black Siren admitting that her Sara survived but they had a falling-out and thus easier to think she was dead.
** ''Legacy of Lightning'' initially established that ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' took place on Earth-21; later revelations in ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' prompted Weyer to change the number to Earth-167, albeit making it clear that this version won't have Clark losing his powers.
** ''Salvation Run'' reveals that [[spoiler:Felicity was replaced by the Skrull Lyja around the time Oliver first faced Ra's al Ghul, justifying her more ruthless actions after that point]].
** In ''Generation Gaps'', Hope reveals that the system that sent her and Scott to the quantum realm during the initial snap had a failsafe relay, allowing them to return to Earth after Hank and Janet were taken by the Snap whereas canon saw Scott stuck in the Quantum Realm for five years/hours.
