Isn't Duckworld just another planet in the 616 universe? I thought that way since it had 'world' in the title.

I'm an alternate universe fan as well, for virtually the same reasons. Biggest characters can be killed, and the little guys can have a chance at being something great. All too often, however, do these alternates not really change, or end up changing back to something similar to 616. Where are the realities where they stay different? They're few and far between.

If they do stay different, they have some horrible outcome where half the world is destroyed, or some tragic death happens. You very rarely see an alternate universe where a different path was chosen, and hey, everything is just fine. Can you imagine a world where Steve Rogers died in the explosion saving Bucky, and there just was no Cap after that? Why would the world have to be worse off? That may be a bad example, but you get my drift. I tend to believe there have to be hundreds or thousands of alternate universes where everything is different, but just fine. Of course, those might be some boring stories to tell...
