And about your Oobleck point, again, how does Oobleck exist in Remnant? Oobleck isn't even an actual in thing in real life, only in a Dr Seuss story. Does Dr Seuss exist in Remnant? Just because we know what Oobleck is doesn't mean the people of Remnant do, espically since they live in a totally diffrent world from ours. We can't assume that everyone in a fictional world knows everything that we do. Again, you are assuming that the people of Remnant need to know these references. They don't. The references are for US to figure out, not them. So the references don't have to exist in Remnant for them to be meaningful. To them, it's simply a name. Only to US is it a reference to anything in particular.
