no that would be another five Avatar movies.

good thing we're only getting four !
Eli Brooks
What is so dumb about this? Literally updating same stuff from 30s to modern era.
These monster movies were actually more action packed than people remember.

The Mummy with Cruise was OK,this Dark Universe coulbe de done, just not in the hands of Universal
Owen Russell
Why does every fucking movie have to be part of some larger "universe" now. Why can't studios just make a fucking movie?
Ryder Brown
Better than CGI capeshit DESU. Tomb scenes were mindblowing.
>You've set me free, setepai.
Andrew Ward
Yes.
starting a cinematic universe before having a couple of successful movies is fucking dumb
Joseph Hill
>universal monsters rebooted as a modern cinematic universe
It's a genius idea really
Problem is they showed their hand too early and rushed their way into it.
They had Dracula Untold in the bank already, but decided it wasn't good enough and the Mummy should include Dr. Jekyll as their universe's "Nick Fury" character.
Bentley Evans
can't anymore have movies to have something to do with each other without it being called CINEMATIC UNIVERSE.
fuck. it's so damn stupid.

>It's a genius idea reallyProblem is they showed their hand too early and rushed their way into it.
This.The Mummy should be 3rd or 4th movie. It feels like watching Winter Soldier without knowing previous MCU films. That being said, monsters need modern update. They were Scooby-Doo'ish caricatures for years, time to refresh them.
Wyatt Roberts
Yes. It's really stupid.
It's the idea that using 3 things you can sell any crap.
1) Intellectual property rights to something people are already familiar with
2) Dumb it down and make it PG and sell it to the whole family
3) Marketing
These 3 things dont make good movies. Not one of them. No matter how hard or well you do those 3 things. You are reliant on hype and momentum.
Good stories, actors and directors make good movies.
This direction is entirely to avoid trying to make a good movie and still sell it to everyone.
Landon Jones
Which? The idea of all the Universal monsters existing in one universe or the "Dark Universe"? I hope you mean the latter because otherwise you're a zoomer brainlet.
Jose Diaz
>Good stories,
Seth-summoning plot was pretty great but they shouldn't shoehorn Jekyll's lab tho. It should be all about Tom and that mummy princess.
Brayden Jones
Why wanting more cinematic universes and autistic crossovers? Why not just making licenses with their own proper universes and rules? This deviantart mentality is so cringe and it's the fault of capeshit, Marvel in particular.

>the whole world is at stake and nobody really cares
Bad story

A good story.
Ayden Garcia
Same shit happens in gaming. Some new genre takes off, everyone hops on until its ran into the ground and people lose interest.
It will happen to Cape shit too.
Colton Roberts
BECAUSE THE JEWS NEED THE EASY MONEY!
Big Universe = FRANCHISE = SURE SHECKELS
Aaron Thompson
if you slapped a Marvel logo on it people would jizz in their pants
Elijah Bailey
Pretty sure they will one day try to mixes the universe of Jurassic Park, Alien, Predator, Terminator, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Back to the future and Indiana Jones, they will call it "Hollywood Cinematic universe"
But the amount of shit will be awakened when Guardians of the Galaxy will make a crossover into Star Wars, oh god it's so horrendous to think about.
Nathan Davis
In gaming everything started with the huge autism for Smash Bros, I misses so much the gamecube Era of Melee.
Logan White
we could have gotten Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon vs Cthulhu, but the studio just couldn’t commit.
Owen Myers
Nah. That would be feminist remakes.
Chase Evans
Imouto cinematic universe when?
Lincoln Jenkins
This. Just fucking look at this. Pretty nice cinematograply for a campy blockbuster. I love attention to details or very good use of shadows and lights.
youtube.com
I hope that The Invisible Man will be on par, in terms of looks. And I'm nearly sure about it, they hired a very good cinematographer.
>that scene at 1:09

They did it once back in the day.
>all the solo movies and their sequels
>House of Frankenstein
>House of Dracula
>Frankenstein Meets Wolf Man
Brandon White
Universal Monsters literally started the idea of cinematic universes/crossovers 70 years ago. If anything, they should be the ones to do it once again.
Connor White
>Talbot is cured of his lycanthropy in HoD
>Back to being a werewolf and dies for good in Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Poor dog can't even get a bone in life.
Caleb Reyes
The Mummy would still be shit, though. There has been bad marvel movies that eveyone didn't eat up
Eli Roberts
Nah, that would be the DCEU after they couldn't even make a decent superman movie.
Samuel Butler
How would Marvel handle this scene?

Because jews are in charge and they want big moneys with no risk.
Not realizing that it's an oxymoron, they try to copy-paste popular things as if there is a formula for success.
They basically have a too-big-to-fail mentality from all the power they have acquired and are afraid of taking risks.
Ian Harris
Not a dumb concept just poor execution. Tom deserved better.
Thomas Cruz
>How would Marvel handle this scene?
Lot of CGI and quips. Racoon throwing up.
Meanwhile DC...
Elijah Gonzalez
Imagine Sofia bandaged inside that sarcophagus.
Ian Reed
She's sooo cuute wiggling like this. I'd never ever EVER unwrap her haha

Juan Lee
no it's fucking dumb.
Brody Diaz
It also wasn't a Dracula movie.
Logan Williams
>Dr. Jekyll as their universe's "Nick Fury" character.
Am I the only one who to see it more as Men In Black than MCU?
SHIELD wanted to assemble heroes, not destroy them. Meanwhile Jekyll's agency wanted to kill the mummy princess. They have already killed other monsters before. There was a vampire skull and that hand of swamp monster. Now imagine Nick Fury killing people with superpowers instead of teaming up.
IMO Prodigium is closer to said MiB. They control monsters and take care of the most dangerous ones.
Carson Green
>one who to see
one to see*
ignore "who"
Jace Gutierrez
Good point, also there was a similar group in Van Helsing. They wanted to kill Frank's monster.
Levi Myers
Yea, this. The Brendan Fraser mummy movie (1 and 2) would have been a better start for a cross over universe. They can't get a good frakenstein, dracula or whatever off the ground. They blew their load with van helsing. I don't know if they can pull it off this day and age.
Austin Roberts
before the shared universe meme it was always
>good product
>good product part 2: electric boogaloo
>good product part 3: GARBAGE
>good product: the spinoff that nobody wanted
>end of franchise
today with the cinematic universe shit it's
>mediocre product
>mediocre product with more quips
>mediocre product with more quips and less effort
>mediocre product with more quips and virtue signaling
Nathaniel Garcia
These movies were too silly and cartoonish. Dark Universe needs proper horrors. Dracula should be about a vampire killing crazy amount of people in London, like a fucking plague. Not a fucking bat-vamp-man shown in Dracula Untold. I hope that The Invisible Man will course-correct it. He should be like Michael Myers but not that dumb.
