What is everyone's obsession with cinematic universes/shared continuity nowadays?
Luis Jackson
Simple. Marvel did it and has made loads of money off of it. so now it's the new, big "thing to do."
Ethan Myers
Captain Caveman going neanderthal on the Teen Angels.
Joshua Morales
So is this universe gonna be just the "gangs of teens with a talking ___" or will it actually feature Johnny Quest and Space Ghost and shit?
Jonathan Hall
It's genius
It's basically the sequel formula except you can try out new IPs and then hook them with the other IPs
Aaron Young
There are hundreds of properties to adapt and explore, concepts that they haven't bothered to touched and just because they see Marvel's being a success they want in?
It took 4 years and 5 movies for any sort of verse to be established. Each of those movies had to stand on their own and the jumping off point, Iron Man, is considered one of the greatest Superhero films of all time. I'm not a big fan of Marvel's verse, but it takes time. The way they're looking to do this is to expect people to go with the same concept automatically.
Benjamin Lopez
Scoob is the only interesting Hannah Barbara has. Really not interested in it inhabiting a shared universe.
That said I wouldn't mind them crossing over with Archie, investigating supernatural shit in Riverdale. Or for the Archie Comics' horror department to get a shot at a Scooby Doo comic.
Blake Ross
Remember back when everyone and their mother used to think "what would happen if x character met y character? I bet that'd be fucking awesome" and there were millions of crossover fanfictions and shit everywhere? Companies are only now realizing that and finally deciding to bank on it.
Logan Cooper

Why do people like that pretentious bastardization of Flintstones again?
Joseph Green
I'm not discouraging be it. I am however, arguing that they are taking the wrong approach to this. DC could have actually just used Dark Knight Rises as the jumping off point for the DC verse but for some reason or other they thought it would be better to start fresh again.
I mean, come on, they referred to Central City in Dark Knight.
Brayden Smith
DCs motto is one step forward two steps to the nearest hookers ass for blow. Hell that's most companies motto nowadays.
Brody Butler
>We participated in a genocide, Barney.
Jonathan Lopez
Jonnhy Quest and Space Ghost are cool.
Luis Murphy
Batman vs Superman was one of the worst movies I've ever watched though. I don't know if this crossover thing makes good stories.
Chase Morris
I'd rather see THIS Hanna Barbera universe develop instead.
Andrew Peterson
Are people unaware that there already IS a Hanna-Barbera Universe?
Come to think of it Blue Falcon and Johnny Quest are both canon in Mystery Incoporated's original universe, a few others like Jabberjaw and Speed Buggy also showed up in a fever dream Scooby had so maybe they actually exist as well.
Hunter Wright
Studios ha've been doing this for seven decades though.
Jacob Garcia
Hanna-Barbera themselves did it too! See
Anthony Rodriguez
>Frankenstein Jr and the Impossibles >Grape Ape >Squiddly Diddle >Wacky Races >The Jetsons
Yes, this will work cohesively
Hudson Jenkins
Didn't the Blue Falcon show up in Dexter's Lab too?
Luke Garcia
He did, and he had his own show.
Alexander Adams
Yeah, but that was mostly a case of Cartoon Network letting the showrunners dip into their Hannah Barbara library for jokes rather than any attempt at connecting the series. It's similar to episode where Johnny Brave met Scooby Doo or Billy and Mandy met Fred Flinstone.
Xavier Gomez
The first three examples you listed are less likly to be made into feature films, due to how much less popular they are then the obvious ones (Yogi Bear, Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, Wacky Races, Johnny Quest, etc.) Squiddly Diddle wouldn't get a movie till deep into the third or fourth wave of movies at best, and hopefully by that point cinematic universes as we know them will be dead.
Ethan Hill
Nolan and Bale were primadonnas about it and said they'd only stay in the franchise if Nolan's trilogy was standalone.
Benjamin King
Squiddly Diddly was one of their many Xeroxes of Yogi and like most of those Xeroxes his cartoons were boring. I have no idea why he'd get his own movie.
Nolan Phillips
Could work if they used the superhero/human characters and marketed it toward kids
>Frankenstein Jr >The Impossibles >Space ghost >Johnny Quest
Maybe Wacky Races or even the Jetsons but I don't know how you'd work in the likes of Huckleberry hound, Mr Jinx or Yogi.
Elijah Walker
They should've just adapted future quest.
Colton Foster
I'd love to see the Yogi/Huck/Quick Draw show characters get another turn. I know they're not necessarily hip right now, but they're fun characters and I think they've been dealt a rough hand by their corporate handlers the last 20 years.
Jaxon Gutierrez
They don't understand that Marvel waited until the weekend after Iron Man came out and it did well and made a lot of money when they said they were making the MCU
Carter Walker
The characters from the first three shows, Ruff n' Ready, Yogi Bear show and Quickdraw McGraw were great.
Crap like Peter Potomus and Touche Turtle can be forgotten.
Were the Secret Squirrel shorts from 2 Stupid Dogs any good? It's been a while.
Anthony Jackson
Better than the source material
Hudson Gutierrez
I really hope they keep it campy as fuck
And i hope they don't try to make realistic Scooby like in the old ones, make it look like what Scooby doo gang would actually look like if they were 3D characters
Jeremiah Allen
Don't forget Transformers.
Christian Allen
Cod cinematic universe?
Joshua Long
Call of Duty
Daniel Richardson
I wonder if this will even get off the ground.
Sony also has the Valiant Cinematic Universe in development. Starting with Harbinger sometime this year (supposedly) and Bloodshot next year.
Wyatt Baker
The OG >Ruff n Ready
Huckleberry Hound show >Huckleberry Hound >Yogi, Boo Boo and Ranger Smith >Pixie Dixie Mr Jinx
Quickdraw Mcgraw Show >Quickdraw and Baba Looey >Snooper and Blabber (recycled designs but the PI premise is cool) >Augie Doggie and Daddy Doggie (kinda bland but passable)
Top cat's ok too. Snagglepuss just barely alright. Just about everything else isn't worth the time of day.
Ryder Jenkins
>nowadays
The moment Avengers became a blockbuster, every major movie studio is drooling at the opportunity to make a cinematic universe for themselves
Michael Young
` Its even more hilarious when you consider WB is pretty much saying they are not confident in their DCEU so they are investing in a HBCU as well
Brandon Butler
Yogi had its chance
Julian Brown
>Do you think they should be based on the new comics?
Scooby-Doo Apocalypse/Wacky Raceland is fucking horrible, and Flintstones only really works because it is its own thing. Doesn't help that the future lineup also looks really bad. The only thing that would be cool to adapt is Future Quest, because it would work way more as an actual show then a comic.
Blake Williams
Loved those as a kid
Austin Young
What other HB franchises work in a shared universe with Scooby doo?
Johny Quest maybe, but wont it be odd that everything is realistic and theres this talking dog for no explicable reason. Unless they come up with some convoluted reason for how scooby doo can talk
Chase Sanders
>Snagglepuss just barely alright.
"Heavens to Murgatroyd! What horrible taste!"
"What you are saying is bullshit! Horseshit even!"
Leo Sanchez
Jonny Quest really ought to be its own thing.
H-B has plenty of other talking dog characters, like Huckleberry Hound, Augie Doggie, and Astro, so throwing Scooby-Doo in with them wouldn't be too odd.
How's about Snagglepuss when he was a bad guy?
The entire Quick Draw show is some boss-ass shit. Michael Maltese was the main mind behind it and after he broke with Chuck Jones we learned who the real genius was.
Easton Harris
Could be cool maybe possibly?
I've been on a big nostalgia kick for Hanna Barbera lately. I know most of it is pretty shitty, but it's got a charm to it.
Michael King
Snagglepuss was just the beginning of the Yogi knockoffs. What was his premise anyway? He lives in a cave and sometimes a hunter chases him.
People only remember him for the faye Bert Lehr voice.
Still better than Wally Gator thought.
Parker Gonzalez
The idea that Quickdraw has an alter ego who hits people over the head with a guitar while shouting 'EEEEEL KABONG!' is pure genius.
Julian Ramirez
WB is also involved in the Godzilla-Kong-verse and has plans for a King Arthur Universe. Not to mention the development of the Lego-verse.
Thomas Sullivan
>Scooby Doo (2018) >Directed by James Wan.
Matthew Thompson
H-B nostalgia kicks are always fun.
Noah Butler
CREATIVITY IS DEAD
Justin Ross
That ska is unironically good
Thomas Rodriguez
...
Levi Martin
We haven't gotten a Big G Cereals Cinematic Universe yet so we're fine
Levi Moore
Even Disney is going on this bandwagon.
..What if Tangled,Frozen and Moana shared same universe?
Adrian Young
>o you think they should be based on the new comics? What do you think? no the comics are a horrible version not because the comic is bad but because its not really scooby doo
Cameron Cook
So that's where the Eco-goths screenshot is from. Cool.
Colton Scott
this movie is king
Blake Foster
remember when Sony tried to make their own CU based on spiderman villains?
David Miller
Sounds up WWE films alley
Josiah Jackson
was this confirmed?
also i remember flintstones episode where they did end up in the future, without meeting jetsons.
Christopher Roberts
Not yet, maybe the film but as far as the comic goes Flintstones are prehistory.
Samuel Brown
>Hanna Barbera universe >half the characters are just rip offs of each other
Landon Robinson
It's what people wanted at the time. Harvey Birdman did a few gags about it.
They hated the uncreative nature of it though.
Aiden Bennett
...
Jaxson Taylor
>What's everyone obsession?
money money money money
Benjamin Ortiz
Yogi's Ark Lark/Gang is so sad
Lucas Howard
why?
Chase Sullivan
They could do something like Mystery Incorporated, with several groups of people unknowingly being guided and playing the same roles in the world.
Nicholas Collins
Daws Butler's disinterested voice acting and the mangling of the character designs
Christopher Adams
wow, lego universe isnt enough?
Bentley Cox
>Do you think they should be based on the new comics? What do you think?
No because the shitty Hollywood writers will fucked it up and the general audience won't like it because of "Muh nostalgia" and the Adult Swim stoners will screach "Not muh Space Ghost/Birdman"
Marvel did it and it became a success for them and now everyone wants to do it too.
Luis Kelly
I just want a third movie with the original cast. Even if they're old.
