How are like half of these even going to work. UNO movie? Magic 8 Ball movie? Viewmaster movie? How are you going to differentiate Hotwheels and Matchbox? Are they going to make a the Barnie movie for GROWNUPS? Wtf is Major Matt Mason? Why do Mattel own Wishbone? Who's goddamn idea was this.

(Kinda excited for a Masters of the Universe movie though not going to lie)

    yeah every movie exec ever is filing literal piece of shit IPs as "potentially a cinematic universe? BIG MONEY" on their reports to investors and they always flop lol. only disney struck gold, and they're quickly finding out there's diminishing returns. with the strike shit they're probably scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find any profit, it just smells like desperation to me.

      Corpos and not realizing there isn't room in the market for more than one or two of a certain product, name a more iconic duo.

      Its even worse in video games. So much fucking trend chasing. MMOs, COD clones, live services. It happens time and time again and they never learn.
