History Trivia / Funkinverse

* RealitySubtext: There is a mention of Calliope Mori's counterparts between Earth-16063 and 13166 being polar opposites (16063's Calli is a DreadfulMusician but [[DontFearTheReaper also an upstanding member of society]], while 13166's Calli is more talented but [[EverybodyHatesHades also a terrible person]].) This draws obvious parallels to her real-world reception, which, while not drawing a direct correlation between her talent and her personality, is infamously polarizing.

* ShrugOfGod: The same comment that confirms [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinCorruption the Corruption]] as Venom's counterpart also implicitly refuses to answer if ''Funkinverse'' treats the popular fan theory of [[spoiler:Peni's CynicismCatalyst being Addy Brock and VEN#M like in the original ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'']] as canon. It's later revealed, however, that [[spoiler:Aloe ''did'' encounter the Corruption, but is the ''only'' member of the Funkin' Gang to do so, with any casualties left unmentioned. Furthermore, while it was also revealed Cyan was somehow killed off at some point, the circumstances of his death are unclear, as it makes him a CompositeCharacter between Gwen's Peter Parker and Addy herself]].

** Romantic Boyfriend was supposed to be Ezekiel Simms/Spider-Therapist (the explanation being that he was a temp worker on shift for that scene while [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinSoft Soft Boyfriend/Benjamin Fairest]] was away), but the current character list indicates Ben was cycled back in at some point.

** Spider-Rex's role was originally filled in by Friend.FLA, before being moved to Kaiju Boyfriend.

** [[Series/SpiderManJapan Takuya Yamashiro's]] counterpart is Cerbera (not his appearance in ''Bob and Bosip'', but the charter's current AuthorAvatar.)

** Boyfriend's "bully Maguire" phase was originally supposed to be a potshot at [=AmorAltra=] through ''VideoGame/VsBobAndBosip'', where he'd shoot Amor in the head [[BlackComedy as an act equivalent to Peter's awkward dancing]].[[note]]Incidentally, this aligns more with the context of [[Film/SpiderMan3 the original scene]], where in the director's cut Peter does the infamous dance ''immediately'' after blowing up Harry Osborne with a Goblin bomb.[[/note]] It was replaced with unadulterated footage of "Personal Space Invasion" from ''Vs Brightside'' for being a bit too on the nose.
