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.
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.
