The chronological theory of Revelation can confirm that the world is not really finished

Some say that the world will end in the fire, others say in the ice. But maybe the question we should ask is not How the world will end … but when. The exact calendar of the Third World War is a bit vague in Season 8 of American horror story, but if the AHS: Apocalypse Timeline is confusing, perhaps because it's hiding a major twist – at least if we believe this new fan theory.

While the first season 8 explained this AHS The chapter takes place 18 months after the nuclear apocalypse, which does not mean much without a departure date to calculate. However, episode 2 offered a more concrete timestamp. As Popbuzz pointed out, Timothy and Emily's search through Michael Langdon's emails allowed viewers to take a closer look at his laptop screen, revealing that the date of his last correspondence was exactly the same. October 20, 2021.

That's good in itself, but in context, the date is in conflict with another piece of the puzzle of AHS& # 39; interconnected mythology. Although none of the previous seasons has occurred in the future, season 5 Hotel Finished with a flash-up to Billie Dean Howard filming an episode of his television show at the Cortez Hotel on Devil's Night, a.k.a. Oct. 30, 2022.

So, if the world still exists in the AHS universe in October 2022 … so he must still exists in October 2021, right? Has not the apocalypse really arrived? Is the whole season a kind of sick psychological experience? None of the characters have any idea what's going on outside the Outpost Bunker 3. Maybe the world is doing fine and that Michael Langdon is torturing them for unknown reasons .

After all, Ryan Murphy made fun of Weekly entertainment this apocalypse is "a different season from everything we did because there is a big hook to that.There is a huge thing happening in episode 5." The fifth episode of Season 6 was when Roanoke was knocked over his head; Could such an important twist also be put in place for Season 8?

Or maybe it's just an oversight. apocalypse is connected directly to House of murder and coven, do not Hotel – so it is possible that the authors have discounted Hotelthe chronology during the production of season 8. (Good Hotel itself is connected directly to House of murder by real estate agent Marcy and Dr. Charles Montgomery, so by extension, apocalypse East also connected directly to Hotel by House of murder… It gives me a headache.)

To make things even more confusing, The Hollywood Reporter reported in April that AHS Designer Ryan Murphy has stated that Season 8 would be held "18 months from today." – and he meant literally, apparently telling the crowd to a panel of FYC to go and see what day it would be. (For the record, it is October 6, 2019, the same day that, in 1961, President Kennedy urged US citizens to build atomic bomb shelters in the event of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, according to Politico. .)

But why would Murphy tell this exact date to journalists … and then do not Was Season 8 then, as he suggested? Maybe he meant that the season would be beginning October 6, 2019, before the 18-month time jump; but then the main action of the season will take place in April 2021 and not in October. And anyway, all this would take place before HotelFlash 2022.

To be fair, it is often difficult to maintain continuity in a franchise with as many moving parts as American horror story. Just look at Marvel's cinematic universe: although it's generally homogeneous in its global build, even this mega-franchise has managed to push back its own timeline in 2017 Spider-Man: Homecoming. A title card in the film indicated that it had taken place eight years after the events of the first The Avengers movie. But, according to Polygon, that would have put the film in 2020, three years later Back homehis own liberation and, more importantly, two years after the events of War of infinity.

So, is the timestamp on Michael's e-mail a major Easter egg that lays the foundation for episode 5? Or is it just a blunder that does not mean anything in the larger scheme of continuity of the franchise? Unfortunately, fans will have to wait and discover for themselves apocalypse slowly reveals its mysteries.
