The thing is, Golden Age was written as a parody turned scripture, Silver Age was written as an actual series retroactively explaining events from the past in the form of the variants of the first set of characters.

  

• "What is the true version of the story?"
• Both are indeed true, but they are actually resolutions of the same truth and each other's truth. Golden Age is meant to be a parody series turned theological scripture. The Golden Age is actually almost like a Genesis portion explaining the origins of the story while Silver Age acts as the Exodus.

"What exactly is the relationship between Earth-0/Earth-152 and Earth-1/Earth-777?"

Earth-1 and Earth-777 are, of sorts, echoes of the same timeline, but obviously, Miguel from the Silver Age is vastly different. Earth-777 Miguel is from Tondo. Earth-152 Miguel is from the fictional Burnham City, which is based on real-life Baguio. That's because they are echoes, distinct but almost the same. Think of it as a more treacherous Ultimate or Absolute Universe, but instead of nihilism, Silver Age is more hopeful despite the odds.

"What determines the 'Variant' differences?"

Variants aren't actually differences. They are echoes of the Prime universe. Beatle is the prime version of every other Miguel, and his echoes have echoes.

  

• "Who is the 'Real' Miguel?"
• Whoever deserves to be Saint King.

  

• "Who is the most powerful variant?"
• Beatle Saint King Prime, objectively, from Earth-0. The one written in scriptures. But, honestly, who knows? The one who wore the crown isn't an imposter, but does he deserve it?

"Who is the voice behind the Scripture?"

God. Not me. More like this story's God. This story is supposed to be an experiment and a conversation with God behind all the F-Bombs and Unpleasantries.

  

• "Why the shift from Magic/Gods to Industry/Splooge?"
• What are demons but reflections of our darkest selves? What are gods but manifestations of our faith? What is magic but the science we don't understand?

"Why do some variants get happy endings while the 'Original' (Beatle) didn't?"

He did get a happy ending.

  

• "Where does Burnham City (Baguio) fit into the Multiversal Map?"
• Burnham City is in Cordilleras, which is basically a homey tourist trap, fictionalized version of Baguio. Meanwhile, Manila is where Tondo is, a bustling slum with good, hard-working people.

  

• "Is the Golden Age still 'Canon'?"
• The Golden Age is supposed to be canon, but it was told as legends by a different group of people who witnessed these characters and documented their stories.

"Which version of Miguel is the 'Real' one?"

That's like asking which is a real man out of all the men in the world, or a real woman in all the real women in the world. No one is special, just be what you wanna be, man. No one takes the crown except God or whatever or whoever you believe in.

"If the Golden Age was a parody, are the stakes still serious?"

It started as a parody. Yes. Stakes are serious

  

• "How does the 'Splooge' relate to the 'Himala' (Miracles)?"
• Splooge and Himala are two very different things. Splooge, or Angel's Blood, is a serum forged from Aswang Blood and Heaven's Truffles, a fungus yeast-like stuff from X, a planet of the gods. Himala, meanwhile, is a connection of an Avatar, or a Messiah, to the god that parented them by possessing their parent upon immaculate conception.

"Why is Earth-777 so much more 'grounded' than Earth-0?"

Because Earth-0 takes place Hundreds of Years into the future. Some parts of the Multiverse just split from a single universe recently... Hmmmm!!!.

  

• "Does every Miguel have to be Autistic?"
• Yes. He is an echo of the original. It makes his life almost tragic.

"Why did Earth-1 Morningstar (Ruru) get a 'Megatron' arc, while Earth-0 Morningstar (Aurora) got a 'Lucifer' arc?"

In a way, both Rurus were both Megatron or Lucifer. Both character and archetype fell from someone they loved dearly, whether it be a brother or a Father.

"Who is the parent of the Multiverse?"

The crown will always belong to God.

  

• "Wait, if Beatle died in 2024, how is he a mentor in the 2026 'Race for the Saint King'?"
• Ascension is not death. When Beatle disappeared back then at Chapter 180 of Golden Age, he didn't die. He ascended.

"Is Burnham City/Baguio the 'New' Manila?"

  *

• Nope. Geography remains the same. Burnham is a fusion between La Trinidad and Baguio in real life, but here, it was united as one by Burnham.
