Pale Horse said:I think movie watchers of late forget one piece of moviemaking that is most key. Studios make movies to make MONEY. This movie will solve that problem.
We all say we want art and true storytelling with rich environments, but we support the opposite with our monies going both the films, and to larger corporate sponsors who want differently. (That is, to make money)
We're all hypocritical viewers in that sense. Unless you're a pirate. Then you're taking what you want without giving anything back.
I'm not calling you out IB, just pointing out something that bothers me about what people say they want and what they truly support.
Argument as old as time really.

It's sort of a pity that people are treating the rebooted line like its copying Marvel, when Universal first started crossing over its monsters in the 1940's.
