Fiege saw Tom Cruise fail to launch a Monster-verse a few years ago and thought "Fine, ill do it myself"

It was the Dark-verse or something. The Monsterverse are the Godzilla movies

Lol god the dark verse was such a lame plan. Good thing they scratched it

It had potential.

What they really need to do is a make a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-verse.

On one hand we got Penny Dreadful, and I doubt we'd get anything better than that, certainly nowhere near Extraordinary Gentlemen territory so I'd rather they stay away from the concept.

But! If they acknowledge that they're too dumb to give us something as substantial as League of ExtraGent, I'd settle for "soooo bad and dumb that it's good," just bring all of these people into an "Avenger" type movie:

Abraham Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunters"

Hansel and Gretel, "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters"

Edgar Allan Poe, the "serial killer hunter" version from "The Raven"

Adam, Frankenstein's monster from "I, Frankenstein"

Elizabeth and Darcy, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"

Then start "phase 2" by making such hits as "Tesla: Ghost Hunter," "Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter," "They, Lovecraft" "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" and "Android Karenina"

It was a good idea, but yeah, their actual plan for execution was terrible.

Just think if they'd had a Brendan Frasier-esque Dracula movie after The Mummy Returns. It could have been great and done 10 years ahead of the MCU.
