    One of the reasons the hobbit sucked was because it was supposed to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro, but he pulled out because the studios kept delaying things. Peter Jackson stepped in at the last minute to take over, but hadn't done the same level of prep as the rings movies. He said afterwards that he was having to make a lot of it on the fly, whereas the original movies were meticulously planned out. Plus the whole stretching the content across three movies instead of one or maybe two.

    I would love to see a Lovecraft cinematic universe where every movie is the adaptation of one of his books, since most books are connected, many of them mention Abdul Alhazred and the Necronomicon, The Shadow over Innsmouth and The Mountains of Madness mention Cthulhu etc.
    Though, I think it would be extremely hard to adapt Lovecraft’s work to movies, and unless they were directed extraordinarily they would probably flop.

    I'd just go full throttle and have the Cenobites shatter the horror multiverse, and have all the different versions of every slasher villain meet and either go at each other, or team up into an army. Imagine an army of Jason Voorhees, going up against all the versions of Michael Myers and Leatherface, with Freddy and Chucky teamed up with Candyman and Ash to try to keep reality from disintegrating into nothing. You could turn that into the equivalent of the story of World War 2 or Vietnam, only in the horror multiverse, and make a trilogy out of it.

      There was a saying I once heard. "Better, faster, cheaper. You can only pick 2 out of the 3." The person that told that told that to me basically said that he was always asked for all 3 but he kept telling them it's impossible and to pick 2 out of the 3.

    There was a Mummy movie before the Brendon Frasier movie though. It starred the original Frankenstein actor, Boris Karloff, as the mummy. It's pretty much identical to Dracula, minus everything cool about Dracula.

    Combine Fast and Furious with Back to the Future, where Doc's flux capacitor is taken from his long forgotten laboratory. Dom runs into thief when he tries to break into his car, where they get into a chase that leads them back to the perp's Safe-house. Dom finds that the perp is just a dumb kid but the capacitor is given as a sign of good faith. Installing it into his car, Dom gets the promised speed boost, but is sent straight into the past where it's up to him, and his small group of friends to survive the treacherous T-Rex as they search for a way to return power to the flux capacitor and back to their own time.

    The hobbit trilogy turned out how it did because Guillermo did a year or 2 of pre production for 2 movies and left before shooting, studio panicked and got Peter Jackson who wanted to save the production being a mega Tolkien fan, behind the scenes he was scrambling for what to shoot in next to no time, hence over reliant on CGI as shots were literally not planned, or maybe not even written, sometimes even on the day working out key decisions and then studio also decided to make it a trilogy because money. Andy Serkis became second unit director, having not much experience. Most of this info is in behind the scenes footage

    14:44 Aragorn was actually in Rivendell when Bilbo and the dwarves arrived there. He was like 9 at the time and didn't yet know of his lineage. My head cannon is that Bilbo met young Aragorn while he was in Rivendell both times and was sworn to secrecy by Elrond to keep Aragorn a secret from everyone, even Gandalf, to protect him from the enemy. This would explain how Bilbo and Aragorn are so good friend in Fellowship and how Bilbo could write the Riddle of Strider

    One comes to mind, it is the Robin Hood franchise. Unfortunately the Robin Hood movie did not perform as well as they wanted to, and so they scrapped the idea of creating a universe based off Robin Hood and his merry men. It was supposed to be a Trilogy at least. But after the failure of the first one, they completely scrap the whole idea.

    The MCU has been the SADDEST cinematic universe since 2019, only for the fact that Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse is technically canon in the MCU. Stan Lee had that cameo in Mallrats, and who was sat on a bus, reading the script for Mallrats, in Captain Marvel, which was set in 1995.....

    Speaking of cinematic universe.. Even tho it's Ezra miller... I seriously hope they make use of cramped spaces in the Flash movie. I think a problem of live action flash content is, that he doesn't really feel fast. There's a huge overuse of slowmotion, which in my opinion doesn't really make anything feel fast. Cramped spaces and fights in small rooms, is one of the best spaces to capture the flash'es speed, since it forces him to move around the entire room including walls and ceilings, in stead of just slowmotion running

    Them: king Arthur
    Me: oh yes, I forgot all about the Clive owen /kiera Knightley film. Didnt Arthur have like 7 trusted knights that were all going to have spin offs, and then they abandoned it after the Tristan and isolde movie because no one saw it and they realised that people only knew anything about king Arthur, and there were severe diminishing returns on other films they had planned. That must have been in like the early to mid 2000's, making it a cinematic universe that predates marvel by several years, and yet doesnt get any recognition for being a cinematic universe, making it a good choice for the saddest one.
