Weren’t they trying this “adapt all properties, no matter how stupid” like 5-10 years ago when Battleship came out? I remember a Monopoly script about a capitalist transported to the fantastical world of Monopoly, where he has some kind of adventure.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Kinji Ninomiya is a NEET who has amassed enough money through real-estate investment to fund a penthouse lifestyle without ever having to work. This changes when a portal suddenly transports him to a fantasy world where he quickly ends up enslaved to a mining company extracting crystals from a dungeon. Desperate for a way out of this new poverty, Kinji tries to regain financial stability by any means necessary, gathering himself an unusual adventuring party - the titular black company - in the process.

I think the Barbie movie was in early development since that Battleship movie. It sinking probably put it on the back-burner.

My favorite RLM running joke is when they remind people about this failed attempt at a cinematic universe.
They did a whole group photo for each character who would get their own movie before The Mummy flopped so hard it killed the whole thing.

Definitely not. I think there must have been all of one line mentioning Hulk's son existing because I don't remember it at all. There certainly wasn't any actual subplot about him.

It would be really funny if they adapted world war hulk but not planet hulk. Like you just have to understand that “the stuff that we did to make hulk mad totally happened off screen trust us”

Planet Hulk was basically abbreviated in Thor: Ragnarok. Given the massive change in tone and story that happened in the movie version, though, it is very hard to figure out how to make World War Hulk spin out of it. (Actually, no. It's dead simple. Something happens and undoes whatever Bruce Banner did that merged him with the Hulk mentally during the blip. Then you've got Hulk in full angry Hulk mode, and you have him tear poo poo up to the tune of $200 million in VFX while you bring in every superhero whose actor hasn't permanently retired to have a big punch-up fight with him.)

If you have an 8 episode season, and one of those is a bottle episode, you may have hosed up.

But in their defense, I don’t think the show was written/produced to be split like that. That was a Netflix decision.

During Crowe's shoot, he thought "if I put my hand on the chair, they'll have to put me closer to the center of the frame".

Then during Cruise's shoot, he thought the same thing. But he made sure to pose in a way that couldn't be moved anywhere else.

Our hero played by Tom Cruise is like a recon scout ranger for the army, and he uses that to go to archaeological sites in warzones, steal artifacts, and then call in air strikes on "enemy positions" in order to destroy any evidence of his theft.

The movie doesn't seen to realize that that's cartoonishly evil

OK, iirc the Mummy's powers come from being possessed by an ancient Egyptian demon, and at the end of The Mummy Tom Cruise lets himself get possessed so he can bring some lady back to life, but then he just doesn't have the bad part of the possession happen. Like, He starts to do the double iris thing but then is like, "No I don't want that to happen" so it just doesn't. And he ends up with all of the Mummy powers but none of the downside of being possessed by evil. And the lady, no longer being possessed, just dies. She becomes a regular dead person who is fully dead. I think they put her back in her mummy tomb, for some reason, so Tom Cruise could theoretically bring her back to life at any point. So maybe they were planning on that happening in future installments of the Dark Universe. Or even offscreen after the events of The Mummy, since Tom Cruise can bring anyone back to life no problem, so anyone who dies in that movie series can be brought back at any point. Tom Cruise and the lady could just show up in The Invisible Man and you would barely even need one line of dialogue establishing that Tom Cruise brought her back for her Mummy knowledge or something.
