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)

    you can't turn everything into a CU

    Watch them TRY. Lol.

    I don't disagree with any part of your post...but the fact is that while all of that should be kind of self evident it still hasn't discouraged companies from burning piles of money in development desperately trying to follow the trend. Chasing the trend of cinematic universes from the outset is setup for the same failure of any of the seemingly infinite number of MMO games billed as a WOW killer and/or games as service is but if the mountain of failures those both present is any indication we've got a lot more failed attempts before this is all said and done.
