Which Cinematic Universe Are You Most Interested In?

[Drz]

DC has my favorite characters and so far their take on the characters have been unique to say the very least.

The premise is trite is all I'm getting at.
I don't really need to see another Final Wars American or otherwise.

How else is it going to be?

 

[Thundarr]

For me it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the X-Men Cinematic Universe coming in a close second. In both cases, Marvel/Fox went about building up their cinematic universe from the ground up, and didn't try to expand on it until they had a solid foundation on which to build. And with Marvel's Netflix series (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and soon The Punisher) all being a part of their expanded cinematic universe, there is a wealth of stories and characters to draw upon.

The DC Cinematic Universe had great potential. If DC had tied their very successful TV series (Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl) into their cinematic universe, it could have been huge. But they screwed it up with BvS: DoJ. Now whatever DC movies they might have planned are going to flop, and then any hopes of a truly epic JLA movie will go unfulfilled.

In it's day, The Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe was considered pretty awesome. Unfortunately many of the remakes of those classic horror films have utterly failed. So a new UMCU? We'll have to wait and see, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on them being any good.

The Hanna-Barbera Expanded Cinematic Universe? This I think depends more on which shows are being crossed over into which. A Scooby Doo/Johnny Quest crossover makes a certain level of sense. But Scooby and/or Johnny Quest crossing with The Flintstones? That's a little harder to pull off and maintain a quality narrative.

An Archie Expanded Cinematic Universe could be interesting (Archie, Josie & The Pussycats, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch). They'd need ONE GOOD movie for each of those properties before going forth and creating an expanded shared universe though.

I'd like to see Transformers with other Hasbro movies. I have to see a movie with Optimus Prime and Snake Eyes in it before I die.

Yeah. Even though the last two GI Joe movies sucked, just imagine the Rock's Roadblock teaming up with Optimus Prime. That alone would make the movie worth seeing.

Poor Robin Hood is still sitting at zero votes.

Poor Robin Hood is still sitting at zero votes.

Probably because there is no "Expanded Universe" for Robin Hood. What are they planning? A Little John movie? Followed by a Will Scarlet movie? Then a Friar Tuck movie? Then Robin Hood gets his movie, after which they wrap it up with a team up movie called Merry Men? Dumb. Just plain dumb.

 

[-JKR-]

No one. I just love movies, and some (good) ones happen to be part of 'cinematic universes' I couldn't care less about...

 

[Closerframe]

I voted for Marvel, DC, and Star Wars. But out of the bunch, the latter has me the most excited. Star Wars doesn't have to worry about connecting stories with one another which makes the prospects of their universe more exciting and unpredictable. I know when Rogue One and the Han Solo movies prove successful, Disney will probably take more chances and approach riskier stories.

Hahaha yeah. Let's brainstorm a bit about that, because I'd honestly like to know what an expanded Robin Hood universe consists of. Maybe something like this:

Robin Hood Trilogy:
Robin Begins (2017)
Robin Returns: Dark Sherwood (2019)
Robin Rises: The War for Nottingham (2021)

Solo films:
Merry Men Origins: Little John (2019)
Maid Marian: The Lady of May (2020)
Will Scarlett: A Robin Hood Story (2022)

Villain epic:
The Sinister Sheriff Squad (2023)

Robin Hood event films:
Merry Men United (2024)
Merry Men: Apocalypse (2025)

DC first for me. Marvel has already proven they've got the winning formula, so i'm very interested in seeing what DC does now that there is a lot of restructuring going on in regards to the DCEU after BvS, at the studio. Suicide Squad and/or Wonder Woman could be the nail in the coffin.

Second, it's the SW Universe.

 

[Rowsdower!]

A lot depends on Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman. I feel like, if those films are well-received, that might lead to people getting excited for JL again. One thing Wonder Woman has going for it is that people have apparently been so starved for a Wonder Woman movie, some of them will rave about ANYTHING that has to do with the character. Hence the reason why people all over the internet said Diana's 10 minutes of screen time and 5 lines in BvS were amazing and the best part of the movie (though maybe that's just because so much of the movie was crap that the one thing that didn't make them roll their eyes seemed that much better).

I am a little worried about the reshoots with Suicide Squad and this third act talk. I like Ayer a lot and I have faith in him, and I hope the studio didn't force him to include stuff that wasn't in the original version in a last ditch effort to salvage their cinematic universe after Snyder ran it right into the ground.
