Comic book movie fan theories.

I don't know if there already is a thread for something like this, so I'm going to make one. This thread is for any fan theories that anybody would have for comic book movies. My theory is that Marvel Comics and DC Comics both exist in Sam Raimi's Spider-man trilogy. In the first movie when Peter is trying to figure out how to shoot webs, two of the phrases that he says when doing it is “up, up, and away” and “Shazam!”. Both of those are references to the two superheroes Superman and Shazam (back then he was known as Captain Marvel). In Spider-man 2 we see that Peter is a comic book fan when he finds out that his Aunt May is moving and he asks her where his comics are. It's possible that the reason Peter could make a reference to Superman and Shazam is because those are two characters that he reads about in his comics. Another DC reference is when Aunt May is in the hospital and she ironically tells Peter that he's not Superman.

On the Marvel side of this theory is the Doctor Strange reference in Spider-man 2. When JJJ and Hoffman are talking about what name to give Doc Ock, Hoffman suggests Doctor Strange and JJJ responds by saying “That's pretty good, But it's taken!”. If Doctor Strange exists in the same universe as the Raimi trilogy then he at least could have helped out in some way at the end of the second movie when New York was at risk, it wasn't like at the end of the first movie where the only people being in danger at the moment were MJ and the kids in the cable car, or at the end of the third movie when MJ was the only one in danger. So maybe the reason why JJJ decides not to refer to Doc Ock as Doctor Strange is because he's a fictional character in a comic and JJJ recognizes this and wants to give him an original name. Stan Lee's cameos in the three movies probably weren't as some random New York citizen but as himself. If Marvel Comics does exist in the Raimi trilogy then the Marvel universe in their comics could be one where Spider-man and any of the characters that were created related to his comics don't exist in the Marvel Comics of the Raimi trilogy. It would be kind of like how in Watchmen, DC Comics exist except they don't publish superhero comics but pirate comics instead, only in the Raimi trilogy Marvel Comics exists but Spider-man as a fictional character doesn't.
