The Skibidi Toilet Cinematic Universe. 87 movies. Each more popular than the last.
87 movies
C’mon, how did you miss that so badly lmao
I think this post just ignores a lot of things out there.
The book Jurassic Park was released in 1990, and the film released in 1993. Since then we’ve had a handful of films and other spin-offs, all within the last 50 years.
The book The Hunger Games was released in 2008, and the film released in 2012. Since then we’ve had a handful of films and I would bet many more to come.
What about the Pokemon media franchise? Originally released in 1996 and is one of the largest franchises with video games, TV shows, movies and everything else.
I thought Skylanders, personally
Chances are it already exists. Go looking.
Naw, it’s not happening, New IPs are dead
I don’t think so. Because nobody can get the funding for anything original anymore. Its all cobtroles by business men and everyone wants as much profit as possible. Also one of the reasons everything is so bland and pg 13.
not based of the current slop, universe where one show or movie is just promoting the next movie or show.
This isn’t a hot take. It’s about as “predictive” as saying eventually there will be another sports star or viral website. The question is when it will happen, not if.
And whoever figures out the how stands to make a truckload of money
That shit is happening on a daily basis. But with risk-averse, money-hungry corporations in control of studios and distributors, none of it will ever see the light of a theatre projector
Hot take: thing that has happened organically since the dawn of entertainment will continue to happen organically
Harry Potter is the one that comes to mind. Also Game of Thrones if you’d like. Both really blew up, have spin offs and staying power. Harry Potter has toys, video games, and amusement parks.
To extend the “that will never work” part, for “Game of Thrones” author George R R Martin once said,
From basically the mid-’80s through the mid-’90s, I was involved in television. Whenever I turned in the script in my first draft, I would always get the reaction, “George, we love it, but it’s five times our budget, so… Can you go back and cut things?
And when I finally left television and film and went into prose in the mid-90s, I said, I don’t care about that anymore, I’m going to write something just as big as my imagination, I’m going to have all the characters I want, and gigantic castles, and dragons, and direwolves, and hundreds of years of history, and a really complex plot, and it’s fine because it’s a book. It’s essentially unfilmable.
Also Game of Thrones if you’d like.
That’s exactly the one I was thinking of. It was extremely influential on TV and pop culture, in the same way that Star Wars was for film.
it helps they are pretty much legacy franchises that had an original story. MCU is not that, disney tries too hard to tie them all into a smorgasbord shows. i think the pre-disney marvel shows were much better(the ones that were cancelled by disney because of the merger).
Don’t know why you’re downvoted. This is exactly where my mind went too. Nobody said they had to be good, just new.
I never downvote if somebody is adding to the conversation, but I suspect people start to act shitty because JK Rowling raises their hackles.
Because those aren’t new?
They’re newer than Star Wars.
That’s not really the point though. The post isn’t about something new since Star Wars. The idea is something new with a similar scope and scale of Star Wars. They’re not using that as an example of the last thing that was made.
Jurassic Park also landed somewhere in there. Lord of the Rings is hard to say where it exists because the book to movie gap
I was about to bring up those as well. The next closest that didn’t really hit the “spin-off” level was the hunger games, but definately could.
There are several new things in the same universe, so I wouldn’t say there aren’t spin-offs. They’re still going. I would say this is one of the many correct answers for this.
The super hero movies are to me what the westerns were to my grandfather and great uncles. I now understand what it is like to have something you love be mediocre and why you’d be excited to get something new that was great.
Please. If you have stories you want to tell then tell them. We are trapped in a cage formed of Is and Ps.
“I’ll stop making them when you stop watching them.”
-The movie industry
The last thing I watched in theaters was a reshowing of the Fellowship of the Ring. Everything else is on a buddy’s Plex server. Fuck the movies I ain’t paying 50 dollars for sticky floors and shitty snacks. I can do both of those at home.
I’m with you. I feel a bit bad because my husband loves (or loved) the experience of going to the movies, whereas I couldn’t care less and would prefer my couch. But we used to go because he enjoyed it, and it was nice to avoid spoilers for big things. Nowadays between having kids and the overall experience of movie-going having completely gone down the shitter and more expensive to boot, we don’t go anymore. And I don’t really miss it. He goes out sometimes with his buddies to see a movie, and I’ll tell him if there’s something he has to wait to see with me (Dune is the only thing recently).
So you moan about lack of originality, but don’t support independent film, either? You’re just part of the problem.
I have some stuff rattling around but I don’t think people would interested in what boils down to wikipedia articles, you can’t make me write about character grown or arcs
Team up with someone who just wants to write characters and you two together will topple the sky.
Cmon guys, Hazbin Hotel has Ike 3 seasons out
K-Pop Demon Hunters was like that. Nobody but Netflix believed in it, and that’s why there was barely any merchandise for its first Christmas. Companies would not get on board. Now stores are covered with stuff.
Here’s my thoughts on this:
Okay…?
This is why I always come to you when im needing some meh advice.
