    Cinematic universes shouldn’t live forever. At some point, there is just too much of it, both for people making it and for people watching it.

      I think it’s more that we turned cinematic universes into a forced content machine to have x number of side character movies per year, with one major tentpole event every few years, with tv shows, video games, and comics all filing in gaps along the way. It’s exhausting. I’m fine with a connected universe that is allowed to live and breathe in it’s own.

      Warm Bodies is an homage to the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe. Just, with zombies.

      How old is the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe? Does it count if it started out live-action?
