Stillborn franchises. The ones they had all the plans for that were DOA with the very first entry

>and won't give the greenlight.
Based Sony. Fuck cinematic experience """games""" and fuck that literal Pajeet-owned studio.

IReleasing the movie in 2017 was a mistake. They should have waited till now. Releasing The Mummy now would be much better choice.
1. Use 20 years anniversary of 1999 film to hype it up.
2. Since main Avengers storyline is done, and audience is a bit older too, monsters could fill the gap and add a bit of darker tone.
3. Using mysterious black sarcophagus found in Egypt as a part of marketing could help a lot too.
Here, 3 ways to fix Dark Universe even if the movie was done and couldn't be edited.

basically like 90% of the trash based on terrible young-adult novels attempting to cash in on harry potter and twilight, and failing miserably

crap like mortal instruments / shadowhunters, city of bones

Nothing was going to get past the fact that the movie looked terrible, was way too soon for a reboot after the well liked 1999 film, and was laughably chasing franchise movie instead of concentrating on being a good film of its own.

Detergent

I mostly agree but it looked very good regardless of what you think about the plot. They filmed a lot of it, prepared great sets and amazing locations. It really does look good when you compare it with other blockbusters now. Look at Skyscraper or other recent blockbusters like superhero movies. You can smell cheap-looking CGI.

The Mummy's cinéma but you have to know a lot about Universal Monsters to fully appreciate it. No wonder only 20% of critics and 30% of audience liked it.

It's the worst Mummy film. I've seen Universal, Hammer, Fraser and Cruise's is the worst of the four by far. It's just bad and unoriginal in the lamest ways.

I loved the original mummy movie because it's a cheesy action movie in egypt. This one was a washed out grey-blue boring franchise setup, with an unlikeable tom cruise trying hard to be human and half the movie setting up this monster hunting dark universe thing. They should have set the movie in egypt and not fucking london, hired a non-sociopath as the main role, and pushed off their dark universe worldbuild shit to the last five minutes of the movie

>original
Duck.

>I loved the original mummy movie because it's a cheesy action movie in egypt.
This. Early 1920s, Egypt, tombs, cults and shit like that is the best.

It's very original DESU. Unoriginal ones were Mummy's Ghost and Mummy's Curse and shitty Indiana Jones clone from 90s. New movie takes clues from Hammer productions (England, female mummy) and old Universal, adding a plot twist with Seth. How could it be anymore original? 1:1 remake of 1932? Another stupid Indiana Jones wannabe? Sooo original.

Sofia is cute! Cute!

>not fucking london
Read some mummy horror books. Movies never explore that but in novels it's usually about finding egyptian sarcophagus and bringing it to England or France where the mummy wakes up. It's a metaphor to colonialism, fear of curses and unknown dangers. Again, not common in movies so I'm glad 2017 one did it.

>France
Damn I remember some 90s-2000s horror where an ancient mummy possessed a girl and wanted to finish some ritual. It was mostly set in Paris, that famous museum.

I don't think there is any way to make the Universal monsters work the way they want them to, while the name recognition is there to an extent it isn't there is a serious way. The lineup of characters is just a joke to people, nobody can take them seriously. They have been parodied or used as comedy props far too many times over the decades. The image of Dracula that currently exists in the public consciousness is one of a goofy old man in a bad ill-filling costume, the image of Frankenstein's monster is that of a clumsy bumbling oaf. The classic monsters are not scary to people anymore, and any attempt to try and make them scary again is going to come across as tryhard and edgy.

>nobody can take them seriously. They have been parodied or used as comedy props far too many times over the decades
That's why they are trying to change that. Enough of parodies stuck in generic Victorian era, they want to make them relatable and scary once again. They obviously have to put them in the world we know, our world.

MDGA - Make Darkuniverse Great Again

Ya gotta have the DC Universe in here somewhere. Technically, they're still plugging along, but it's nowhere near what they aspired to be. Hell, they even disavowed team up films altogether and just focus on spinoffs and prequels (even Wonder Woman).

Always moving backward... never forward.

DCEU wasn't stillborn. A better analogy would be a couple paying out the nose for some incredibly shady pregnancy acceleration treatment, but then they proceed to get a late term abortion when the ultrasounds don't look good.

>Mark Strong plays a top tier Sinestro in a shit film
>Plays a mediocre Sivana in a kino film
Poor bastard

It's not where they want it to be but it's far from dead. Aquaman getting a billion dollar film while Spider-Man cant is hilarious

Jumper and I am number five end of sequel bait. I'm amazed that now you see me actually got the sequel.

It is dead as a shared cinematic universe, they are just going forward with making individual movies now. No interconnection outside of cameos.

Didn't the books kind of just fizzle out too?

Why does the thing on the left have an image of a Starcraft character

>Nothing was going to get past the fact that the movie looked terrible, was way too soon for a reboot after the well liked 1999 film, and was laughably chasing franchise movie instead of concentrating on being a good film of its own.
The opening scene of the movie was Kino.
You’re right about trying to follow the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies too soon.
To be fair, the Tom Cruise movie was far better than the original script that some user posted here, which had the mummy be an ancient Neo-Assyrian mummy, which doesn’t exactly exist, although there are apparently some unplanned “mummies” from that period.
If they had done something closer to the original script, it would have clashed less with the older movies.

I suspect most major studios are currently trying to come up with collections of movies that can be pitched as movie universes, so the studios can get investor dollars or something.
This is the readon for the DC Universe.
And the Dark Universe.
And the Godzilla/Kong Universe, they were trying to put together.
And I don’t know whether they quite fit, but the Harry Potter Universe, and
The Avatar Universe.
And maybe the Alien Universe.

‘Penny Dreadful’ made it work.
A slightly cheesier version with less moral degeneracy could have been done and succeeded.

TV is a very different environment from movies, you get a lot more time to develop everything. Plus Penny Dreadful only barely worked, and it went off the rails hardcore by its last season.

Say words that mean something. A full 90% if the MCU is only "shared" in the vaguest of ways. All the questions faggots like you apply to Superman apply equally to characters like Thor.

>No interconnection outside of cameos.
What about Black Adam? It's a spinoff of a Shazam and will most likely appear in a sequel

Are you a brainlet? Black Adam is Shazan's main villain.

hayden is still young enough for a jumper sequel. make it happen please
