I think the best way to kickoff a cinematic universe is to not do it. Just make a movie, and if it works make a sequel and if THAT works make a spinoff and if THAT works you've got a universe. People have this thing where they like to see a good movie instead of a 90 minute trailer for a cinematic universe

Once Iron Man worked they were basically full steam ahead. They already tried to make a universe with Artisan years earlier so they'd been working on this for awhile. I swear it only works because of Feige. Like if you see an MCU movie you know it's going to be good. The only actually bad MCU movie is Thor 2 and they corrected that shit right away and made another great movie in Ragnarok. The worst Marvel movies are the ant man and the wasp type that aren't bad, they're certainly entertaining, but nothing special. DC is trying to make Geoff Johns their Feige, but idk if anyone else can do what Feige has done.

Shin Godzilla was pretty huge, on and off screen, and they have all the rights to their characters. But as far as the MCU's success, it wasn't even that they made good movies. But they made their universe feel like an actual universe They gave four great stand alone movies with just little nudges and hints and something greater, and then they revealed it in Avengers. After that, they were free to do more standalones, or group projects. But just by having some events that tied everything together, it worked great. Most cinematic universes want to have it all worked out already by the second or third movie. It's why I think the monsterverse is going to do well, because Godzilla and Kong were mostly respectively their own thing that then leads up to what we're about to get in King of the Monsters.

But i think that plan should just be kept with whatever company is doing the movies. If they just waited it out and patiently released one movie at a time, by the time the characters from those movies come together, everyone will be like "wow i didn't see that coming" or "wow all these individual characters from all those movies are together now!".

The 'Real life' shared universe is cinematic garbage. It's slow-paced, it's boring, it's poorly written and directed, and everyone who experiences it ends up clocking out before the end. Kind of like the DC Cinematic Universe!

My one critique of the Cornetto Trilogy is that Shaun of the Dead didn't have a James Bond in it. Hot Fuzz had Timothy Dalton, World's End had Pierce Brosnan, they need to get permission from Roger Moore's estate to CG him in there as a zombie.

I think what makes the Godzilla/Kong universe work is that they don’t seem to take themselves too seriously nor do they try to be overly funny. They just sort of exist as fun monster movies that you can just turn your brain off and have fun for the most part; much like many of the old Godzilla movies from toho

[@MsMaydayGoingDown]

I honestly hope Venom is legitimately good. I know that announcing a shared universe before making a decent movie a la the Mummy is not a good idea, but I really just want Sony to show they've learned that the key to doing this movie strategy is MAKING A DAMN GOOD MOVIE FIRST. I think the main reason this is happening is Sony wants to "extend" their deal with Marvel, and if Venom turns out to be good, they can confirm it's story connects to the MCU (it happens in San Francisco btw so it's not contradicting the MCU at all) and the other movies they have planned out are more of a selling point towards Marvel. That way both Sony and Marvel benefit from having each other's characters connected between their movies, which is legitimately fascinating. All this hopefulness may all just be because I'm a Spider-Man fanboy, but I HATED TASM2 and at this point I just want to see the shared multiverse concept done right just so I can have some hope left for this idea. ... At least Into The Spider-Verse looks good though right!

[@A.Mortem]

BlueSpider I just don't trust Sony to make good movies anymore. Even if Venom is great they WILL fuck up their movies at some point and then we'll have to live with those shitty movies being in the MCU

[@jakejutras2733]

Zero Cool Why? Venom as a character doesn't necessarily require Spiderman or that logo to work. I'm saying this as a HUGE Spiderman and Venom fan, although they are irrevocably tied in the comics etc Venom as a character concept works just fine.

Leslie Knope false dichotomy fallacy

[@dannypalin9583]

Back in 2016, Warner Bros announced that they would be making a Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe, kicking off with a Scooby-Doo movie. The only other information that was given was that Mystery Inc was going to join a crimefighting team. I'm going to assume that this team will consist of Dynomutt and Blue Falcon, Hong Kong Phooey, etc. So, WB has made the novice, rookie mistake of stating that all the characters are eventually going to meet up with each other in the finale. This completely ruins the surprise. Therefore, this isn't a standalone Scooby-Doo movie. This is Part 1 of a buildup to a crossover that happens to be about Scooby-Doo.
