TopicAren't these cinematic/expanded universes limiting movies and TV shows?

We're now stuck with a Batman that has to use old Batman and damaged Jared Leto. Suicide Squad had to make some dumb reference to Superman as some sort of dumb justification for the plot. If someone wants to make a new Batman or Superman movie they'll need to work within what has already come before it.

We have a Marvel TV series that are stuck with the scraps of the movie universe and yet will never be referenced by the movies anyway. I like that the DC TV show doesn't have to worry about making sense with the movie universe. But even if we restrict it to movies eventually Marvel is gonna keep running through all of their heroes and then what? They can't rely on Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans forever so will that mean no more Iron Man and Captain America movies. Will people be mad if the MCU got rebooted? Probably.

It was exciting but I kinda feel like this bandwagon has run its course. Marvel has done a good job with it but even they've had blunders like Avengers 2 that are more focused on setting up the sequels instead of being a good solo movie.

We know have companies like Sony that are desperate to set up some universe of their own even if it doesn't suit one like Ghostbusters or The Mummy.

What Marvel does is overall good but I think people put way too much importance on it. At a certain point maybe we should just let a movie be a movie y'know?
