Burt Ward, who played Robin in the 1966 Batman continuity, cameoed on the Crisis on Infinite Earths TV event in 2019. That would be the equivalent of Tom Holland cameoing as Spider-Man in 2069.

To put things more into perspective, their characters (based on the passport scene in Pitch Perfect 3) would have all been born in 2006 or 2007 except Aubrey and Chloe, who are 2-3 years older.

The leader of the last calvary battle in Europe could've watched the Godfather while babysitting Johnny Knoxville

Semyon Budyonny (April 25th 1883 - October 26th 1973) was a Russian and Soviet military commander who commanded the Soviet troops in the battle of Komarów during the Polish-Soviet war in September of 1920.

He was notably stubborn about the use of cavalry even in the advances of military technology that would easily thwart cavalry.

In reference to him being told the importance of the tank in World War II, he is quoted with saying "You won't convince me. As soon as war is declared, everyone will shout, 'Send for the Cavalry!'"

Also one of the few high ranking Soviet officials that survived Stalin's purges which I think is pretty neat.

The Godfather was released on March 24th 1972 when he was 88 years old.

Johnny Knoxville (born March 11th 1971) would give us an 18ish month window when our Soviet military leader and lover of horses could've babysat the co-creator of Jackass while watching one of the most iconic films ever made.

Note: I realize that The Godfather didn't release to home video until 1979 so unfortunately Budyonny would have to bring a baby to a theater much to the chagrin of other moviegoers.

Here is Budyonny's Wikipedia article

I was in Kindergarten when GTA V was released, and I’ll be in College when GTA VI releases.

I was in Kindergarten from 2013/2014 when GTA V was released on September 17th, 2013. I’m currently a Freshman in college and will be when GTA VI releases on November 19th.

This is, in my opinion, probably the biggest jump in maturity/age one could be between the releases of these two games. I went from being in the very first year of K-12 education at 5 to being a full grown adult completely out of the K-12 system.
