Universal monster movie universe. They'd call it something stupid like "dark universe".
I guess the redditor didn't know about this...

The Dark Universe was a planned series of monster films that were being developed and distributed by Universal Pictures. The Dark Universe was meant to serve as rebooted versions of past monster films that take place in a shared universe. Plans for the shared universe were shelved following the failure of The Mummy.
Kevin Smith has talked about Universal trying to get him to write/make stoner comedies featuring their classic monsters and "Clerks Universe" characters.
"Jay and Silent Bob meet Frankenstein", "Jay and Silent Bob vs. Dracula", "Jay and Silent Bob Discover the Black Lagoon", type nonsense.
I think that was in the 90's, they've been trying to revive that library forever.
Honestly, I like his stuff now. The weird zoomeer movies he made for his kids are full of love and fun. Like, yoga hovers? Honestly a good time
He's given up being "the voice of a generation" and instead is "I can reliably sell $x of tickets, we do whatever we want, it will sell that much on the low end, and maybe might make more." Basically the same thing as Adam Sandler and Happy Madison movies but at 1/100th the budget and 10x the heart.
Yeah, that is better than any random movie you'd pick though so that is pretty good I figure.
He couldn't be the voice of a generation anymore. It has been at least a generation since he has had an experience that any one else could empathize with. Since the giant jorts at least.
There was a period where he was being compared to Tarantino, Soderbergh, Linklater and Rodriguez as the big voices of 90’s cinema.
Oh cool I found the one other person who liked Yoga Hosers (2016), hifive
The nazi hot dog one was a lot of fun too
Honestly I think that could work.
Have you ever seen the Clerks cartoon? It's truly bizarre. Apparently the studio commisioned it with no idea what clerks was, then stuck it in the kids saturday morning line up. After a few episodes the writers realized that their very not for kids show was deinitely getting canned so they went full dada. Idk if it holds up, there are a lot of 90s culture references, but it's a weird moment in cartoon history.
