Alright.
While the statements i said still hold true, that being that
The Far Shore is truly the Multiversal afterlife and is where the
consciousnesses of Multiverses go after death.
Promotional material has also stated that when Eternity called out for help against FF, he called out the other Multiversal embodiments, he called them from the
“Outside”. Not actually the Far Shore (but stay with me here)
This statement here:
"I can feel you... Out there... You've been always out there... To... To me... I saw them. I saw The Others. On the Far Shore -- where nothing dies -- they waited for the call. And now... Now the call goes forth! To me -- -- my Ultimate! And from across the gulf of death... The multiverses assemble."
Could've actually not been stated by Eternity, it was stated by the Shaper of Worlds, after being on the Far Shore and seeing the Others, who exist in the Outside, however one could also interpret it as having come from Eternity
Which brings us to two interpretations:
- The Far Shore is a Multiversal afterlife, and the edge of the Multiverse, but its inhabitants are not limited to The Far Shore, and can enter the “Outside”
This interpretation is built on the fact that we have seen Lifebringer Galactus, and well, The Others,
enter and
roam in the Outside, which we can assume is above the Far Shore in scope
As that the depiction of the Outside, based on our observations so far, suggests that
it exists entirely beyond the Multiverse, as demonstrated in the Loki: Agent of Asgard comic series. In this context, Loki perceives the stories of the gods as fictional while conversing with Those Who Sit Above In Shadows, who are feeding on these stories from the Outside. This establishes a clear distinction between the Outside and the Omniverse, indicating a sense of superiority of the former over the latter, thus also the edge of the Omniverse, the Far Shore
This interpretation is somewhat supported by Al Ewings agreement with a
fan-made map on twitter,
that seems to place the Others, including Eternity as Extra-Far Shore entities
- The Far Shore is the Outside
Pretty simple. Taking to Elizio's arguments into account, the Others, who were known to exist in the Outside,
seem to have come from the Far Shore to battle the FF.
The Outside is located beyond the entire Multiverse and possesses a certain degree of reality/fiction superiority over the Multiverse, as demonstrated by
TWSAIS consuming the tales of the gods from outside the Multiverse. (
Loki: Agent of Asgard #17) This aligns with the scans of Galactus
observing Eternity's physical manifestation while sitting in the Outside. (
Ultimates Vol. 1 #5)
The Far Shore is also another
empty void that lies beyond everything (
Defenders: Beyond Vol. 3 #3) and also perceives
the stories of the Multiverse as fictional. (
Avengers #676) This would shed light on why the Others, who were confirmed to exist in the Outside at the time, emerged from the Far Shore.
Implying it is actually possible that both of these ***** were actually the same all along, or possible that they were
not:
- Interpretation 1: Eternity maintains his 1-A status as he embodies the Far Shore. The Shaper on the Far Shore witnessed the emergence of the Others, which suggests that they may have come from a place visible from the Far Shore, i.e., the Outside. However, it does not necessarily mean that the Others emerged from the Far Shore itself.
- Interpretation 2: The Far Shore and the Outside are the same thing. The Others emerged from the Far Shore/Outside. TWSAIS, GoS Loki and two others i will cover exist within the Outside and perceive the stories of the Omniverse as fictional, similar to the Far Shore's view of them as a wall of comics. Eternity and FF also maintain their 1-A status as they exist within the Outside, where Lifebringer Galactus, whose power comes from a power source as infinite as the Multiverse.
Yes,
1-A. Our
Low 1-A comes from the
dimensionality of the Multiverse, which we accept to extend to
Low 1-A.
The Outside being the Far Shore would imply a good amount of things:
Inhabitants of the Outside/Far Shore also view the Multiverse as fictional, as i have already explained numerous times:
What does this imply? It has been established that beings who exist outside of the Multiverse are detached from all the stories within it, essentially considering them to be fictional.
This is demonstrated by the fact that Eternity, the Queen of Nevers, and others have been observed narrating the tales of the Multiverse, indicating their reality/fiction superiority over it. As these beings are inhabitants of the Outside, it suggests that their vantage point allows them to perceive and understand the Multiverse's narratives and concepts from a higher perspective.
This suggests that these individuals exist in a manner comparable to the relationship between authors and the real world. Just as authors transcend their stories due to their existence in the real world, these individuals possess a higher status due to their position in the Outside and their detachment from the stories within the Multiverse.
Now, the queen herself is a
WHOLE other can of worms i have no idea if i want to open here, considering that the Outside (called in this story as the
Land-That-Couldn't-Be-Shouldn't-Be, which is still
the Outside, a place
outside all stories) is called in that issue
to be a place of
unchecked possiblity (
Defenders: Beyond #4)
Now people, remind me if i am wrong here, but “Unchecked possiblity" is...still possiblity, right? And who is possibility? Thats right, good ol'
Never Queen, (
Silver Surfer 2014 #2) the summation of all possiblity, with
her death alone being capable of collapsing all of possiblity itself. (
Silver Surfer 2014 #3) Essentially collapsing the entire
1-A Far Shore/Outside with her in the process
The relationship between the Outside and the Never Queen is further implied by Taaia referring to The Outside as the “
Kingdom of Never" (
Defenders: Beyond #4)
How would anyone scale to the Queen?
We know that Eternity is Never Queens husband, (
Silver Surfer 2014 #3) we know that FF is
older and stronger then Eternity, which could possibly imply that FFs age has something to do with his strength. And well, we kinda already accept Eternity and Never Queens comparability (i think?),
considering she, Eternity and Entropy make up all of true existence (
Fantastic Four Vol. 6 #44)
Conclusions
Both interpretations suggest that Eternity remains at his
1-A rating.
Even if these interpretations are flawed, the fact that Eternity exists in the Outside/Far Shore implies Eternities transcendence. As also demonstrated by Eternity and Never Queen reading the stories of the Multiverse, as that they transcend these stories and possess a higher level of existence.
The Never Queen also represents all possibilities, while the Far Shore/Outside represents a realm of unchecked possibility. This suggests that the Queen either
embodies a part of the Far Shore/Outside (allowing other Multiverses to exist) or
embodies the entirety of it. Both of these resulting in
1-A Never Queen nonetheless
Sorry if this post seems lazy, as that i am still pretty busy.
