      According to the Wikipedia article the directors started planning things out way before multiverse shit went mainstream and were really worried the movie would fall flat as time went on because people would be sick of that concept.

        It helped that their take wasn’t a pop nihilistic bazinga take, which I am indeed sick of because it really doesn’t follow for me that “if multiverse = NOTHING HAS MEANING BEING A NARCISSISTIC MASS MURDERING ASSHOLE IS NOW GREENLIT FOREVER”
