Crisis on Infinite Christmas Story's. All the different Ralphie's from across the multiverse have to team up to stop the Anti-Monitor from getting the fishnet stocking lamp.

pull from any Jean Shepard stuff for this one, dont go full on with the recreating scenes from A Christmas Story and we are golden. Also since he had a radio show for years and years, be cool if they could get Jean Shepard to narrate this one just using that audio.

There are about as many Christmas Story timelines as Halloween ones at this point.

I'm all for pretending inferior sequels didn't happen. Universal Soldier: the Return wholly ignoring the second and third Universal Soldier films set a good precedent, aside from the willingly giving Megadeth money to make music part.

I'd really like a more faithful, less pollyanna adaptation of some of the "In God We Trust,All Others Pay Cash" stories with the adult Ralph at Flicks bar as the framing device. Especially now because while our current environment isn't the same as life during the depression I think the general sense of boredom or the need to find entertainment day to day Sheppard wrote about resonates

Can’t remember if Christmas Story was set before, during or after the U.S’s involvement in WW2.. but even so there would be two more major wars that America was apart of ..
So a lot would have happened in Ralphie’s world between that best Christmas he had as a kid and the 70s when the new film is to be set in.

So does this take place after My Summer Story/It Runs in the Family (the true CS sequel)?

Is MY SUMMER STORY/IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY still canon, though?!

You know Jean Shepard had a lifetime of stories that he wrote that could be made into stuff. I know they wouldn’t be blockbuster hits and A Christmas Story is a huge name, but there are plenty of stuff from his library that could be made into charming and fun period piece stuff.

The first time I saw the movie I thought the story was set just after the end of WW2. |

Grover Dill grows up to be mafia crime lord and Ralphie and the rest of the guys have to stop him from gaining control of the town.

The movie is set in 1940, though the stories in the book feature Ralph at various ages. In one of the chapters with adult Ralph & Flick talking they mention that Schwartz was KIA in Italy. So the early childhood stories are probably set in 1931/35 or so. |

A Christmas Story is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre of comedies.
Every sequel is the second sequel.
