Now that I concluded the Phase 4 Storyline, It's now to time write on the series blogstyle and this is the 1st part of it.
What Is Phase 4 (The End of An Era and Beginning of A New Era in The Multiverse)[]
Phase 4 is a storyline that I was working since the 2020s began and something that came to mind as I was finding myself returning to the crossover fandom as a result of the pandemic causing isolation to become apparent.
Due to the MCU Being at the highest of it’s popularity before 2020 this became an idea to make a more connected storyline compared to the last 3 eras that I split with my fellow collaborators. I also felt some sense of regret for not getting TGTTA 2 completed when I got to it and as well as Phase 3 being all over the place due to the fatique and how many people put their storylines to a close, stopping or losing interest. The Idea to connect the storyline more openly came down to deciding to make 2 intersected plots to connect the storyline in a way and have the plotlines intersect with each other until it becomes more interconnected.
Unlike Everything Else, I decided to write ideas and story plots as opposed to making videos or transcripts due to the long effort it would take me and how I get distracted when I do. Also Copyright has really ramped up since then and I’m not taking chances. The Distraction part was evident especially in 2 storylines which took longer than expected to get to, or having an idea to have another person do it instead.

The Name Meaning?[]
When I decided to make a Phase 4, I decided on making a name for it as well as the other 3 Phases
The Beginning to The Great Time Travel Adventure which was Phase 1 was called The Start of a connected Multiverse to establish the start of the multiverse series with me getting into which came out at the same time as LOTM was being started as well.
Phase 2 was called The Rise and Fall of Discord due to the prominent role Discord had in the storyline and his overarching villain role. Though it also served as an introduction for some of the teams that were more prevelenat in the following storyline
Legends of Light and Darkness to TGTTA 2 and many other storylines up to LOTM: The Angels Return and The Miracle Dark Elite and the Apokolips War Endgame were Phase 3: The Aftermath of the Multiversal War which was supposed to lead into this Phase itself and was named after the events following The Multiversal War of Destiny. I included these 2 storylines into here though they were done by my associates is that they connect into the events of Phase 4, The latter more to the point as it was a major starting point to begin with for the secondary plot.
Phase 4 was called The End of An Era and Beginning of A New Era in The Multiverse to establish how the eras of the multiverse both have ended and begun. The Miracle Dark Elite and the Apokolips War Endgame was an end of an era for my original cast and storyline and after that point, things truly began to no longer be the same with the finale fully cementing this. This was a case for both plots and how the end was near or there and everything afterwards was aftermath to the events that happened. At both the beginning and end of this storyline, teams disbanded and hero teams basically retired from previous storylines leaving uncertainly going into the beginning of the storylines.
Though it goes the other way with positive change in that their a shift in focus team wise and objective wise for the heroes, the ones that return and the ones that debut. The Magic of the multiverse is back by the end and shows signs throughout. Though it also comes with a revelation that the life of the multiverse hero is not an easy one and needs balance.
When Choosing a theme for Phase 4, I choose the songs Shades of Grey as it recalls a different time/world where things were simple but overtime there is a sense of loss to as life becomes more complicated and things aren’t so simple anymore. The World/Multiverse is not so easily understood as it used to be and experience that is gained from isn’t always an easy or happy journey but one full of hard choices and hardships to endure where the one thing one can gain is experience and a more nuance comprehension of one’s world in part to the benefits and consequences that come from this whole multiverse hero thing.
What to expect when I do Part 2[]
The 2nd part of this when It comes out will be focusing on the main characters of the storyline. While there are a lot of main characters, it will be talking about the 11 Characters that managed to shape and take the center focus in the overall plotline in particular.
