Shining a Light On the Failed Dark Universe

Shining a Light On the Failed Dark Universe

Almost a century before the MCU, Universal Studios and its monster properties had a shared universe. Hell, they even shared it with Abbott and Costello a few times. Then after the MCU Universal was like "hey, we want the exact same lucrative interconnected thing they have" and thus we had the Dark Universe born of brittle clay on shaky ground. And after a false start with a Dracula movie that felt like a historical epic on Starz they properly kicked off their franchise with Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise in the Mummy (Guest starring a mummy). The boys raise this failed experiment from the dead and perform a verbal autopsy to determine exactly why it all fell apart. And yes, there's some good old fashioned Brendan Fraser defense and a shout out to the insanity that was Van Helsing.
