Importance: 5
Fear: 1
Snake: 1

I really think that picture up above explains a lot. A bunch of boring people in dark boring suits standing around in a dark boring room. Compare that with any group picture of the classic Universal Monsters; despite literally lacking any sort of color, the Monster Squad jumps off the screen with vibrant personalities and unique, memorable flairs that clue you in instantly to what they are all about. I don't know who's who in the Dark Universe group; you could tell me any one of them were Dracula and I'd believe you.

This is the core problem of the Dark Universe: it's not about the monsters. It's about Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe phoning in laughable performances while some lady tangentially named "The Mummy" wreaks havoc around London like some MCU villain. Not like Thanos or even the Chitauri either; I'm talking Malekith the Dark Elf here.

I get that maybe audiences don't want cliche corpses in bandages hobbling around anymore, but is it really that hard to ask for at least an attempt at a more horror-themed movie, instead of some generic action schlock? A little craft, care, and suspense can go a long way towards me letting Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fury's House of Universal Monster Easter Eggs (trademarked) slide a little.

The Dark Universe will be an example of what not to do with your cinematic universe for years to come. Don't say your starting your universe with a film and then go "hehe, just kidding guys". Don't completely drain your main selling points of any discernible characteristics that actually make them interesting. Don't make bland action-adventures that make little to no use of an actor who doesn't want to be there.

Dark Universe was simply and undeniably a flop before it even left the planning stages. The complete bomb that was The Mummy made sure of this. Will this franchise continue? Probably. Will it correct its past mistakes? Anything is possible, but me, I just can't see it at the current state its in right now, sadly. Luckily, the Universal Monsters already have their own successful shared universe, and it started over 80 years ago.

Day of the Dead is a fun movie, especially with Joseph Pilato.

Halloween 3 has also become a cult classic for many people, even though I personally don't care for it.

Friday the 13th has the first Jason hockey mask appearance, so it has that going for it.

It's a whole new side of you Snake that I never realized was as big as it is.

Yeah, I've always been a Taylor Swift fan ever since Fearless, the others are a little more recent though. Before He Cheats really hooked me on Carrie about a year ago.
