Anyone else tired of cinematic shared universes?

MyNameIsCharlie · November 29, 2015, 01:45:15 PM

Ever since Marvel did it every studio seems to want to jump on board. Before long every movie will be tied into a seemingly endless cycle of sequels.

Korra · November 29, 2015, 01:49:07 PM

Not really.

Ushan · November 29, 2015, 01:58:38 PM

Well, to my knowledge there are only three shared universes now and there are other movies coming out.

Turkey · November 29, 2015, 02:03:22 PM

Nah, I think it gives studios incentive to be good enough to justify the later investment.

Nick McIntyre · November 29, 2015, 02:12:13 PM

It makes sense for a company, say DC, to do it (even though I don't think they're even doing a shared universe, they just have many TV programs and movies set around different universes, which could confuse the casual audience.) Otherwise, I'm not too fond of the bandwagon myself.

Dreams of making an expansive movie universe tend to come with an inability to make any actual good movies (Amazing Spider-Man 2, Fan4stic, Dracula Untold, etc) which cause these plans to implode. The only ones that I would expect to catch on would be Star Wars, DC, and the continuation of Marvel due to guaranteed hundreds of millions for each installment. And if the movies are generally pretty decent then there's literally no reason to bitch.

Nah I'm just bored with the MCU.

Big Boss · November 29, 2015, 02:54:52 PM

There's not many, so no.

Honestly, thats bound to happen. You see enough repeats of one thing and you just get bored and tired of it.
But.. They always manage to put something really refreshing and its a lot of fun. GotG and Captain America 2 are examples of it.

Man of Steel was the first entry to the DC shared movie universe, Batman Vs Superman and Suicide Squad are the next two entries to the list.

Winy · November 29, 2015, 03:11:29 PM

I lost most of my hope for the MCU after Age of Ultron.

The formula is getting stale, but GotG was the best one because it was unique and hilarious.

Try Agents of Shield. That show progressively gets more amazing.

Ingy · November 29, 2015, 03:14:29 PM

Well I just hope it doesn't turn into a shitload of filler movies in order to lead up to a major one

I don't really watch TV : (

Girl of Mystery · November 29, 2015, 03:16:40 PM

There's like what, 2 of them?

The MCU and the DCU.

R o c k e t · November 29, 2015, 03:26:04 PM

Not tired of it because not everyone is doing it yet.

Crossovers if done right can be amazing. I'd like to see what they can do.

Elai · November 29, 2015, 03:58:49 PM

There's only one cinematic universe, so your complaint isn't really valid.

BaconShelf · November 29, 2015, 04:06:21 PM

No. I enjoy Marvel movies, and the DC stuff looks pretty incredible from what i've seen.

You mean Marvel, DC, Star Wars (yup, there will be tie in movies), Godzilla and more coming.

Only one of those is a cinematic universe. The other ones aren't -- yet.

So, again, it isn't a valid complaint to be "sick of them", when you've only experienced one.

Elai · November 29, 2015, 06:16:25 PM

And Star Wars isn't a cinematic universe, it's a universe. Unlike Marvel, that is just cinematic, they have comics and video games to accompany them.

And Godzilla is just a marketing stunt.

Spartan · November 29, 2015, 06:33:45 PM

I don't see an issue with exploring the same universe through different characters and stuff as long as it stays interesting, which Marvel has done so I'm not complaining.

eggsalad · November 29, 2015, 07:11:11 PM

Solution : Stop watching Marvel shit.

Dreams of making an expansive movie universe tend to come with an inability to make any actual good movies (Amazing Spider-Man 2, Fan4stic, Dracula Untold, etc) which cause these plans to implode. The only ones that I would expect to catch on would be Star Wars, DC, and the continuation of Marvel due to guaranteed hundreds of millions for each installment. And if the movies are generally pretty decent then there's literally no reason to bitch.

Amazing Spider-man nor Failtastic poor were apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Star Wars movies that are tied in with other Star Wars movies?

OHHHHHH NOOOOOO

Yeh but they were planning on making expansive Sony and Fox Marvel Universes after them.
