Current Events > Would you give the Universal Monster cinematic universe another shot?

(+) Yeah! (+)

They've already tripped on the starting line a few times with this but, if they decided not to skip the "make a good movie" step of the movie making process, would you give them the benefit of the doubt that it could be done? Say they got Guillermo Del Toro to Kevin Feige this shit together and said they were going to make legitimate horror dramas with some sympathetic monsters, a properly gothic tone, and organic connectivity, would you get hyped for some Dracula and Pals movies? I think in the right hands (seriously, just give this to del Toro) you could make an amazing connected universe with these classic movie monsters.

Only if they made them into actual horror/monster movies, instead of action blockbusters

But tbh I dont care abound a shared universe. Some crossovers might be fun, but I dont need the Avengers: Monster Mash

I'll never turn down a good movie just because it is in a dumb Cinematic Universe. If over time enough of those good movie these happens to chain together to form a good Cinematic Universe, then all the better. But if the movie is good, I don't really care whether it's connected to other movies or not.

Yeah, Id be down with that. They really dropped the ball the first try.

Universal had one job, but even then they still fucked it up.

Yeah, it would probably be hard for them to resist the urge to go "Oh no, Dracula is trying to make the whole world into vampires using primordial vampire blood and only Van Helsing, with the help of his amazing team of good monsters, can stop him" but the original movies had crossovers that worked pretty well. It's all about scale and tone.

No.
