No, there were an infinite number of universes, but fewer than 100 of him between them. We know this because we see his kill count and there are only three of them left at the beginning of the movie.

New universes were a result of blackhole formation, so there were a finite number, and not all would include an x-Law.

I thought that was a kinda clever little detail specifically so you didn't have infinity x-Laws.

>In the Milky Way galaxy, it's estimated that about one to two stellar mass black holes form per century. This estimate comes from observing the rate of massive star formation and their subsequent evolution into black holes. Therefore, on average, the Milky Way might form approximately 0.01 to 0.02 black holes per year. This number can vary depending on the specifics of star formation rates and the distribution of stellar masses in our galaxy.

There could be many formed before there was life on Earth yes, but no human or x-Law would exist in any of them since they split from that point.

More explanation is required, but you could easily bullshit that when the gravity wave from a distant black hole formation hits Earth millions of years later, that's when you experience that split. I always assumed the concept was based on something like the Gravitation Wave Detection shit, and we don't get an infinite number of those.

>For the Milky Way specifically, since gravitational wave events are detected from distant galaxies and not just within our galaxy, the rate of events detected by LIGO and Virgo doesn't directly correlate to the number occurring within the Milky Way. However, the rate of events across the observable universe gives an idea of the frequency of such events in cosmic terms.
>While precise numbers can vary, we can estimate that several tens to a few hundreds of gravitational wave events (mostly from binary black hole mergers and neutron star mergers) occur per year across the universe based on current observations and models.

Sounds pretty finite to me.

Also I would point out this is not only an easy way to explain and expand on how that sci-fi universe operates, since now more people are aware of gravitational astronomy and black hole shit, but it would always have been a great way to create a sequel.

Have more black holes created while Yulaw is in the Stygian prison world, so when he escapes he has to go after multiple versions of himself again. This time maybe all of them expecting him and all versions more based on himself or Gabe.
That way you get two Yulaw's fighting each other to be The One, and maybe multiple Gabe's teaming up to go against him. Maybe have a Gabe version that defects to seize the power for himself. Like part of Gabe's personality is where Yulaw comes from in the first place, so you see him progressively turning from a Gabe to a Yulaw. See the good cop partner that Roedecker talked about become obsesed with power and turn bad in the same way. Maybe part of Gabe is still pissed off about Yulaw killing his woman and wants revenge and this guy is an expression of that.

Also Yulaw has to escape Hades Universe only to have to go to an ever worse version to kill the copy of himself - maybe a weaker one that WAS everybody's bitch. Could start the movie with a fake out that picks up where the other one left off showing that version getting his arse kicked. Only for the real Yulaw to show up later and lay waste showing how much more of a badass the original really is.

Also get to power them back down and then have them progressively gain power with each kill, and Gabe will know it's happening and be called to action from his Utopian universe when he senses it.

Would be easy to give it a bit of depth by more closely relating Gabe to Yulaw in a yin-yang kinda way, and easy to explore with multiple slightly different versions. Maybe throw in some quantum bullshit to explain their differences like the universe re-rolls their stats each time.

This movie never getting a sequel is practically a crime against cinema though. Imagine how good it could have been with a bigger budget and/or more modern effects only a few years down the line. Not that the effects in the original didn't have their charm, (one of the few films where turn of the century effects were used in a way that actually has charm).

I know the boxoffice didn't justify it at the time, but we're still talking about it, which is more than I can say for a lot of shit before, concurrent, and since. Definitely has a solid cult following which might've been worth another roll of the dice. Jet Li was great as a totally megalomaniacal bad guy, and was playing distinct characters. I was more surprised by that than anything.

A sequel would have been an opportunity to flesh out the multiverse more, and I would have liked to see some flashbacks to Yulaw turning evil on Rodecker, a bit of Funsch's backstory mabye. Could actually retrospectively make the original movie better at the same time. Just the fact you can bring back alternate versions of any character gives you plenty of freedom.

Like imagine if Funsch has to kill another version of himself at the start of the sequel, he gets to feel what the power surge is like and is battling that like an addiction, so he has some understanding of how Yulaw feels. Also gives him superpowers because he discovers there are less copies of him because they all have shitty lives and wind up dead. The Time Cops are suspicious of him after what happened with Yulaw and want to take him off the job, but he has to help Gabe save the universe. He almost goes off the rails but yet another version of Rodecker sets him straight.

>>200799217
>>200799326
Statham as protag/antag would be the obvious choice for a sequel. Jet Li got communist aids or something that fucked him up and stopped making kinos.
>>
>>200799693
Combat sports are all games. He can't use his true powers since they're too deadly
>>
>>200799784
I was thinking along the same lines. I fucking love Yulaw and would like to see him again, but due to this >>200798003 not being entirely inaccurate, pushing Statham to the forefront wouldn't be the worst decision either, especially after his career got more traction.

They alluded to Funsch's past in the first one so it's the perfect set up. He has an addictive personality, and Rodecker basically saved him from a similar destiny to all the other because he's such a based nigger Obi-Wan motherfucker, but that's why the Cyberpolice made them partners, so Rodecker could keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't go off the rails. They wanted to use him because he was good at the job and had unusual potential, but didn't expect him to get that far after Rodecker was gone, and still had to wonder about him. Kinda like the GATTACA thing, where the multiverse is basically statistical proof he has like a 98% chance of going of the rails and an hero'ing.

You also get to see how he feels about Rodecker in the gas station scene. That's how you could bring an Alt-Rodecker back that is more like the original at the end, (maybe a cop in his universe), to guide him onto the right path one last time though. It's like pottery.
>>
>>200780149
The only plot hole in this movie was that the antagonist supposedly got more intelligent but his quest for dominance is ultimately foolhardy. Being The One won't grant him immortality nor make him ruler of the world. Instead, he should simply be recruiting enough of his copies into a single universe. Imagine having 100 copies of yourself. You'd only have to go to work 3 days a year.

>>200800262
Maybe find out that Roedecker is a based magic negro and good man in a position of responsibility in almost every universe that kinda opposite to the way Funsch is a loser. Except for the one version he had the emotional moment with in the first film that works at a gas station.

Anyway, he gets to have another bigger better more satisfying 'no homo' moment with an Alt-Rodecker, but it's 'more real' and more similar version that he actually works with and helps them bring down the bad guy.

So maybe at the end after he saves the universe and gets promoted, he finally has access to the files of all his own alternates and feels depressed looking at them, taking a swig from a bottle and looking at his gun, but then he wonders and looks up Rodecker's file, realising how many good versions of him there are doing based philanthropic shit.

So Funsch's little arc is going from:
>going against procedure
>Rodecker teaching him to follow procedure
>him learning the importance of procedure
Then in the second one:
>has a successful career due to blind adherence to procedure
>loses faith in procedure again
>going against procedure
>having an internal battle with himself
>Alt-Rodecker turning him back from the edge
>him realising procedure is good but you need the wisdom to know when to violate it sometimes

Ah got it, he's looking through Rodecker's file at the end and sees that the Alt-Rodecker he was working with, has an Alt-Funsch as a normal cop partner in his universe. Like in retrospect he realises when they first met and sci-fi shit was going on Alt-Rodecker thought he WAS Alt-Funsch and their initial conversation was weird in a reverse-pottery way like the he had with the gas station guy, but it quickly became clear he was from another universe so Alt-Rodecker didn't even tell him, but he was able to help him because he already 'knew' him - since he already saved Alt-Funsch from his past and they're happily catching bad guys together in that other universe.

Thanks. It pretty much writes itself after that, just a matter of filling in more and more granular details, fight scenes, and dialogue which is above my paygrade.

I think a good example of why faggots just denouncing 'multiverses' as a whole is bullshit. I can see what Marvel was trying to do, make it like the way they can do that shit in the comics, and it could work, but the Woke shit intruded, quality dropped, and made people react badly to that it.

The 'What if ... ?" comics are some of the more interesting Marvel comics they ever made. Proof that shit is not inherently bad.

I don't recall being called amazing for writing before, so shucks I guess.

I just wish the professional writers that are definitely more 'amazing' than me were being hired by Hollywood these days instead of the fucking soulless morons they obviously are employing for dumb reasons. There's obviously no shortage of writers out there who can 'do better' than have Falcon literally tell people to 'do better'.

I was in my early 20's back then. The first Fast and Furious movie. Scary Movie, Kill Bill, the first Transformers movie, Spiderman 1+2, The Matrix Trilogy. These were the movies my friends and I went to the cinema to see or watched endlessly on vhs/dvd at house parties.
