It's such a dumb strategy when they could just make the types of comic book movies Marvel and DC doesn't and have them be hard R action movies rather than just a camera whipping around CGI characters while they say shit like "So that just happened".
100%...but that's capitalism for you. The shared universe superhero proliferation is basically like all the world of warcraft clones of the past 20 years or various Facebook knockoff failures. You need to either do the same thing by an order of magnitude better...or you need a different hook.
I actually thought when the whole 'dark universe' thing was announced it presented a unique opportunity because the idea of a series of dark r rated horror films based on classic monsters in a shared universe was certainly a new idea...
And instead they just made them all goddamn PG-13 superheroes.
A shared universe cinematic brand of hard R movies is something you're probably not gonna get from Disney anytime soon...and Deadpool and Logan both proved the concept has an audience....yet nobody wants to take a bite???
