You basically have to separate it in your mind from the Brendan Fraser movie. It's an entirely different beast.
Me reading this: "Well he hasn't called him the f-word...Oh wait there we go. Well at least he refrained from the n-wo....Nope. No, there it is."
One of my favorite things about Gaf is that so many refuse to just stop posting when they don't like it here anymore. No, we get epic meltdowns like ya mans here.

I am so pissed about the Universal Monsterverse
I just don't...get it? Maybe there's a facet of American culture that I'm just oblivious to that they're drawing from, but I just find myself feeling puzzled after a promo by them recently, outside of the cheap insults.
Tom Cruise will never fuck my mummy. He couldn't reach up high enough to.

Until this current movie started getting promoted I didn't even realize that the Fraser mummy movies were supposed to be reimagined versions of the Universal movie. It's weird thinking of it that way nowadays
Extended Universes are a thing, you can thank Marvel for that. Now we've got Monsterverse, Kaijuverse and Shyamalanverse. I expect we'll see more in the years to come.

I'm legitimately hyped for the Kaijuverse and Shyamalanverse. Monsterverse is IDK territory right now. DCEU is a dumpster fire. Sony is still trying to do their own Spidey universe but LOL that isn't happening.
It would be a rights nightmare but I'd like to see a Horroverse with Jason, Freddy, Ash, The Ring, etc.

Godzillaverse was the one that secretly started it.
We already had Cabin In The Woods.
I just want Disney to buy Fantastic Four and Xmen. Then actually make good films about them.
It was still the best thing that hack ever wrote.
I'd say that title goes to The Avengers, partially because it was the movie he had the least chance to fuck up

Finn looks super CAW here with just the trunks on.

Logan was a good film though?
Dr. Doom in the MCU sounds like a nightmare, but it's better than...whatever the fuck F4ntastic was.

Whedon needs to stop with the big projects and work on a sequel to Dr Horrible.
The Avengers was easy and practically wrote itself. Cabin In The Woods was an original creation that drew upon what he had done in the TV world and brought it into an epic horror film.

Lots of people thought there was a high chance of him fucking it up back then.
Only because it was stand alone and away from the mess that is the X-Men universe.

My word. Jesus.
I think Marvel kept a fairly tight leash on him with Avengers 1. I say that because Avengers 2 feels like it gets even more Whedony
indie fans...
holy shit

The constant one liners was a major reason why I wasn't a big fan of the second Avengers movie.

I'll admit that when Whedon was announced for Batgirl my pro wrestling sensors went off

Didn't he do the same thing with Serenity?
Pretty funny how NJPW is better at creating brands that sell a lot of merchandise by themselves (mainly stables/factions), meanwhile in WWE all they do is hope some kind of catchphrase or anything stupid like that catches on and even then it's highly dependent on the guy's/girl's overall popularity. All while branding is supposed to be WWE's strength😂
My first thought was "oh, Joss wants to do a superhero movie again... who does he have the urge to pointlessly kill off now?" Because Joss Whedon doesn't know how to do character deaths beyond shock value deaths. Which might be part of the reason I don't like Cabin in the Woods that much. I'm admittedly a bit salty because thanks to Whedon the secret best MCU character can't show up in the movies anymore
isnt NJPW's top selling brand something they jacked from CMLL by finally cashing in on the guy they kept under tana and okada's heel for years
I'll admit that when Whedon was announced for Batgirl my pro wrestling sensors went off
WHATS WOSS JHEDON DOING IN THE DC ZONE?!

I've got no problem with EUs
Like of all the problems I have with this, it existing isn't one. The company doing their damndest to have it exist as a cheesy action franchise instead of the legit spooky horror series the original movies started out as/became famous for is the first (possibly biggest) one that comes to mind, and having shit movie stars be in it (Tom Cruise for Mummy, Luke Evans for Dracula Untold) another. I already hated the Fraser Mummys for starting that trend essentially
I don't want to hear anybody talking about how awesome it is when the fucking Creature from the Black Lagoon does slowmo kung fu in the trailer for its movie, because you know it's coming and it's absolute shit

You can say the same thing with Bullet Club too.

I feel like they shouldn't announce the plans for expanded universe before one movie is even out. Because then if the movie flops, the plans just go to shit.

LOL
It's funny that everyone follows the MCU pattern yet ignore the fact that the first Iron Man movie was a standalone movie that didn't become a cinematic universe launchpad until it was close to done. From what I remember the post-credits Sam Jackson thing happened pretty late.
