More ambitious than 'Space Jam'?

The hype around Avengers: Infinity War is huge, with some calling it the most ambitious crossover event in history.

But people on Twitter are calling BS on that, showing that just because Infinity War gathers an unreasonable amount of superheroes into one movie doesn't mean it's the most ambitious or most important crossover of all time. Across decades of television, straight-to-video movies, and other forms of entertainment, there have been countless meaningful crossovers, some of which are arguably more ambitious than Marvel's latest. (Lol.)

What follows are some of the best crossovers in history (according to random people on the internet).

In 2006, there was the That's So Raven X Suite Life of Zack & Cody X Hannah Montana cross-over, which combined three of the mid-2000s' most popular Disney TV shows into one mind-bending made-for-TV movie.

There are also several Archie comics that crossover with popular franchises, the most shocking of which was probably Archie Vs. Predator.

The Muppets also saw its fair share of crossovers, with the WWE being one its most notable, especially with this perfect side-by-side of Sheamus and the similarly orange-haired Beaker.

And who could forget one of the best crossovers of all time, one that came out in theaters in 1996 and crossed over The Looney Toons with real life starring Michael Jordan. That's right: Space Jam.

Or there was that time that The Power Rangers met up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, two of the biggest and most popular franchises from the '80s and '90s.

But before that, there was the crossover between two of the biggest detective shows of the '80s: Magnum P.I. and Murder, She Wrote.

What about that time that Chandler and Rachel from Friends cross over with the operating system Window 95?

Some people on Twitter either have an odd definition of "ambitious" or just took the whole thing as a joke, which is unacceptable, but honestly it's hard not to just pass this one by:

And then there was that time that Jackie Chan did an ad for condoms, produced in Cambodia. Which I guess might technically be a crossover? I guess.

At the very least, Avengers: Infinity War will be the most ambitious superhero crossover to hit theaters. Infinity War comes out April 27.
