I haven't been on this page a whole lot [mainly chilling out in the Mafia subsection], so apologies if someone's already came up with this, but:

when we first see through the Rift, we see a whole planet from a distance.

later on, we then see what appears to be an ocean.

...what if it's the same planet, getting closer?

It's two different rifts leading to two different places on the World-Within.

Ooo, has this been confirmed? Or is this just the general consensus?

When World's Collide (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044207/?ref_=tt_mv_close).
That movie's been done. :smallwink:

That was alluded to in a somewhat recognizable tune from the Rocky Horror Picture Show ... covered here (https://youtu.be/j7VSp51nqQA) ...


Michael Rennie was ill

The day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand.
And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear.
Claude Raines was the invisible man.
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong,
They got caught in a celluloid jam.
Then at a deadly pace
It came from outer space,
And this is how the message ran
[Chorus 1]
Science Fiction, Double Feature.
Dr. X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet,
At the late night, double
feature picture show.
[Verse 2]
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills.
And I really got hot
When I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that
spits poison and kills.
Dana Andrews said prunes
Gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills.
But "When worlds collide",
Said George Pal to his bride
"I'm going to give you
some terrible thrills",
Like a
[Chorus 2]
Science Fiction, Double Feature.
Dr. X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet.
At the late night, double
feature picture show,
I want to go,
To the late night double
feature picture show,
By RKO,
To the late night, double
feature picture show,
In the back row
To the late night double

feature picture show.

Shojo says (https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0276.html) the Order of the Scribble found five rifts, and Heimdall also refers (https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0998.html) to the rifts in the plura.

I would say that it's common sense. Rifts in different locations on OOTS' world would naturally lead to different locations within the Snarl's prison.

Well, I never thought about it before, but it's general consensus as it's not 100 perfect confirmed that we're looking Into a singe planet.
