GI Joe,M.A.S.K,Visionaries,ROM but strangly not Transformers.
If I got 1$ for every time somebody used the words "shared cinematic universe" I would have enough money to buy a company and do something original.After Marvel,we had DC and Valiant(I also expect Image any day now),then a classical horror monster CU.And now one based on 80's toys.

G.I. JOE 3: Roadblock (who is supposed to be a gourmet chef) uses an Easy Bake Oven to make lunch for the team in the field. And later the team has to deal with COBRA's latest deadly weapons: Robot My Little Ponies armed with radioactive Play-Doh....

Okay, I guess now would be a good time for me to go make a pitch for a Pound Puppies action movie.

No love for Furby?

I got nothing against any of the properties named,and I would gladly watch any of it,but I really dont see the point of a shared universe here.
And GI Joe movies werent that great,so you risk more by linking other characters to it.I just answered my own question about Transformers.

And so far only the MCU has been successful. DC is coming up next, but everything about Batman v. Superman has me feeling a lot of these shared universes aren't going to pan out the way their creators envision.

GhostMachine · December 16, 2015, 05:15:51 PM

Batman vs. Superman looks like it is going to be crap. The trailer is horrible, and the Bat-armor screams Lego Batman.

I also think they're making a huge mistake - as well as a disservice to the actors - by doing Flash and Green Arrow movies. (And I mean a disservice to the tv actors. The heck with the movie actors. Couldn't care less about them.)

Are we getting ga too? Why? Flash I get, but arrow covers more than an arrow movie could anyway.

Actually,I have high hopes for Valiant movies.Because its Valiant.
But that a different topic...
Anyways-sharing universes went too far.

A shared universe makes no sense for these. But I don't care about them anyways, except for ROM. I am very disappointed in this and also think they are making a huge mistake. ROM is best known for his Marvel comics series. Hasbro owns the character and his appearance, but virtually everthing else we know about the character--his backstory, his supporting characters, the other Space Knights--are Marvel owned property. If they do a ROM movie without Marvel, it will pretty much be a completely new character that just happens to look like ROM. Fans of the ROM comics are going to be very upset.

They should have just make a deal with Marvel over it. He'd fit into the cinematic universe quite easily.

That a good though Cat. Remember back in the days (mostly the 80's

) Marvel/ Sunbow made cartoons for all of Hasbro toys? I figure that the have a good relationship. HAsbro should just let Rom join the MCU. It would have been cool to see him in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, just chilling in the background.....

James Gunn said he wanted to use ROM in GotG2,but obviously that isnt going to happen.Thou maybe Hasbro will make some deal with Marvel for ROM movie,I guess its possible.

BentonGrey · December 22, 2015, 12:44:20 AM

Ohh man, ROM in GotG2 would have been pretty cool.

You know, a Visionaries movie could be awesome. Of course, so could a JOE movie, but not from these people.

Writing staff revealed.They got Brain K Vaughn.Interesting.

The writing staff for this shared universe sounds pretty amazing. They must have dropped dump trucks of money off at people's houses. I mean, one of the writers is Michael Chabon. They guy has a frickin' Pulitzer! And now he's going to write movies about old Hasbro toys. Seriously, all of the money must have been involved. All of it.

Well,if you can get Gail Simone and Scott Snyder to write Attack on Titan,you can get Vaugh to write a ROM movie.
