Television Crossover Universe

 So the X-Men are coming to the MCU.  Yay, I'm very excited!  But which X-Men?  We know they are coming from an alternate universe, and we have the original actors coming back, but still, which timeline? I hope they aren't saying it's the Deadpool timeline.   Here's the problem with Deadpool being in the MCU multiverse.  Deadpool and Wolverine was a fun movie.  But first off, Deadpool shouldn't have been in the same universe as Logan.  First, Logan is still alive in the present of Deadpool.  He hasn't died yet.  So it made no sense to go looking for a new Wolverine to replace him.  Second, the X-Men still exist in the present of Deadpool.  Prof. X is said to still lead the X-Men.  But according to the Logan timeline, the X-Men died shortly after the first film, and Prof. X is living with Logan in hiding.   I know, it's a spoof movie.  And I'm fine with that.  Only, they made it part of MCU canon....

 Doctor Strange was a great movie but disappointing as far as multiversal crossovers were concerned.   But I had plans to do a post after the movie came out and so here it is.   Here are the universes in the multiverse.  Note I'm not including every universe, but only universes that are tied to a specific film or television series.   In other words, crossovers. 1.  MCU 2.  Spider-Man Trilogy (and perhaps the original Marvel Cinematic Universe) 3.  Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2 4.  Venom/Morbius 5.  Into the Spider-Verse 6.  Spider-Man ' 67
