Doesn't Norman Osborn know that the monolith is a safety hazard?

Assuming that the thing in his office is the actual space monolith, it's a huge safety hazard. Someone could get pulled to Maveth at any seemingly random point, and then be Hive food. If it is in his office then it probably is contained in some way that we can't see, or just a fake.

This is also another difference that kind of proves that instead of being a branch of the MCU timeline that split off in 2016 when the events of Captain America: Civil War went differently, it could just be a whole other universe in general like Earth-828 or Earth-10005. Some of the reasons for this include the presence of Norman Osborn, the events preceding that of Runaways going differently, and the events of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 going differently, because by this point in the 616/199999 timeline, the Monolith was detroyed, and before that it was in the possesion of S.H.I.E.L.D., so it is possible that this isn't a branch, but another universe.

This is some elite ball knowledge right here.

P.S. *Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man* has been confirmed as being self-contained in its own universe. The initial idea was to make a prequel origin story for MCM's Peter Parker, but that got scratched during rewrites.

Yes, originally it was set in the MCU 616/199999, but then they wanted more freedom, so they made it set in not the MCU, but I don't think it's confirmed if it's a branched timeline like what we've seen in What If...? or just another universe.

FootAffectionate71932025-11-09 04:31

It's confirmed as being entirely separate. There is no connection between the MCM and this show's continuity. *No Way Home* established that Oscorp never existed in the MCM's main universe.

What is "MCM"

OmegaX1232025-11-09 08:19

I think they're incorrectly asserting that YFNSM is disconnected from the entire Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, when it's actually just disconnected from 616/199999.

SodaCan20432025-11-09 16:23

What’s YFNSM?

marvelcomics222025-11-09 16:30

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

SodaCan20432025-11-09 17:45

Oh that’s better and makes sense. I was going with “you fucking nasty sex machine”

MajorTurn68902025-11-09 18:07

People are so annoying when the abbreviations lmao. Some of my least favorite over the years have been "DS:ITMoM" and "SCATLOTR"

kyle03052025-11-09 19:27

SCATLOTR?

marvelcomics222025-11-09 08:46

I believe that they're using it as a collective term for projects in the MCU's multiverse, ie. MCU, Fox X-Men, 2005/2007 Fantastic Four, 828 Fantastic Four, etc.

Made up thing from this sub.

Marvel Cinematic Multiverse

It was used on another post that I remember around the release of *Multiverse of Madness*. Seemed more accurate since Marvel Studios' projects aren't all in a single universe anymore, with *What If...?, Marvel Zombies*, and *Fantastic Four: First Steps* being entirely set outside of 616.

for real, it’s wild how many layers there are to these universes now

spiderknight6162025-11-09 16:14

It is its own universe just like every other Marvel animated show, as simple as that

I think Flint has the power to rebuild the Di’Allas, assuming these still come from Izel’s realm. So if there’s a Flint somewhere there’s a chance any destroyed monolith could be rebuilt as long as a fragment survives.

ZOMBiEZ4PREZ2025-11-09 05:47

I wonder if Flint Marko at his peak could do it too.

CaptHayfever2025-11-09 08:49

Flint was able to rebuild the time monolith because all of its original component matter was *there*, just scattered about. The initial fragment just gave him a read on what to look for, like giving a bloodhound a scent sample.

Elite22602025-11-13 05:42

Maybe. But also 1st law of thermodynamics. The energy and matter must come from *somewhere*.

CaptHayfever2025-11-09 06:06

That's almost certainly not the space monolith. It's a different shape, different color, & different texture.

midasgoldentouch2025-11-09 06:10

So basically the same right?

I miss agents of shield. But I'm happy it ended.

MArcherCD2025-11-13 00:18

That would have been a much faster way to travel across space than the big portal he built in his basement 😅
