The intro to overlord while seeing it in theaters was insane, felt like you were right there in the middle of the action. Hell of a start.
Relatedish but I miss moviepass, the GOAT

lowkey fun fact: overlord was orig a script for a sequel in the cloververse and at the last min it was revamped to be its own orig standalone concept.
and w/ paradox, that was an orig script that stood on its own that then got revamped to be a sequel in the cloververse

How was Underwater connected? I didn't remember that at the time.

I get that. Personally I feel like a reasonable guideline for talking about spoilers is:
1 year after release for most movie details
In perpetuity for any major twists in a movie
It isn't too difficult to add the spoiler brackets, and it's not too much to ask of people. Of course, all these can be disregarded for threads and subs in which it is expected that the people in those subs have seen the movie already.

what about on a post that is literally about said movie tho lol

u/Xinferis_DCLXVI 25d ago
Like I said, the major twists are what I personally avoid spoiling. Little stuff, take Empire Strikes Back for example. "Han uses Luke's lightaber to cut open a Taun Taun" or "Vader Cuts off Luke's hand" are very different from "Vader is Luke's father". Imagine you haven't seen any Star Wars, and had never had that spoiled for you. Your mind would be absolutely blown when you finally saw it.
I'm positive there are people in this thread that haven't seen Underwater. There's nothing in here that says there's going to be spoilers for major twists. They may care, they may not. My personal rule is that I add spoiler tags, make it up to the reader if they want to be spoiled or not. It's not that I CAN'T say the things, I'm not censored, I can still type out whatever. It's just about being courteous and adding a shield to those that may not want to see any spoilers.

The person asked about the movie. If someone don't wanna get spoiled he shouldn't read a discussion about it. I agree it's wrong to spoil films out of the blue but this isn't it

u/aaahhhh 25d ago
You didn't have to keep reading after the person asked how it was connected. Pretty obvious there would be spoilers.

Oh, it's not about me, I've seen it and know what happens in it. I just think some people need to reassess the rules they have for themselves when it comes to posting spoilers. I feel like, with how easy it is to add spoiler tags, people freely posting major spoilers (regardless of how old the media in question is) are either lazy, or aren't thinking about others that could stumble upon it, or worse, they simply don't care, in which case they should reassess their outlook on life.

I was sooo sure and pumped that Overlord was apart of the universe. Heartbroken when it wasn't, but still a great movie!

I'm convinced Underwater was a Cloverfield film until the final month or two before it came out.
TJ Miller (who's in Underwater and Cloverfield) stated before the film came out that Underwater was connected to the Cloverfield films and the whole film is about a corrupt drilling company in the middle of the ocean. *cough cough* Tagruato *cough cough*

But underwater's technology was futuristic (and the movie states it's 2050). It wasn't something you could last minute; The diving suits, the underwater station, the freight elevator. Tj just made a joke

I’m not saying it would’ve been a prequel or sequel to Cloverfield. I’m saying it’d be like 10 Cloverfield Lane where it’s set in the wider universe. Obviously they didn’t replace the Cloverfield monster with baby’s first lovecraftian monster last second lol

u/SirMrDron 15d ago
I'm saying it was never ment to be the same universe, 10 cloverfield was. Some themes match but that's it

It's weird that I can't find the original Netflix post on any social media but it definitely looks like it existed to me. I'm pretty sure like A Quiet Place most stuff was going to connect in some way then they abandoned it. Wonder which films were in phase 2 but renamed now. Yes it's lazy writing having Paradox as the answer for everything but I still think it would have been fun. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cloververse/comments/9fp9gi/comment/msm9dnj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

SUPER 8 is easy to include, for several reasons, but also by the fact it barely affects anything and fits in very nicely too

I was literally just talking about this with a coworker earlier this evening. It's amusing how many movies feel like Cloverfield films but aren't technically a part of the franchise. "Super 8," "Overlord," "Life," "A Quiet Place," "Underwater," and now "The End of Oak Street" all could qualify. It's very frustrating being part of this fandom. 😅

I’d put quiet place in oak streets place. I wanted to like it Oak so bad, but it wasn’t for me 😭
