I ask this because I was reminded of this thread a friend came up with on detail and I told them to post it for the hell of it and it got a TON of responses as you can check it out for yourself:

It's still an awesome thing he did so I want to ask any of you other film lovers out there are there any movies along with TV shows you personally think could be in the same universe just obviously different places and times. My friend on Twitter is a good dude and he loved how the thread turned out so I'm now wondering years later is there anyone else out there who has something similar in mind.

It can be a simple two or however long you want, I know I may get some troll responses but the real responses are the ones I actually care about because they're actually fun, fun to read and fun to talk about.

Here's mine if some of you want to know or see what I mean other than the thread I sent:

— THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN TRILOGY

— THE MASK OF ZORRO

— GUY RITCHIE'S SHERLOCK HOLMES DUOLOGY

— THE MUMMY (1999)

— THE DOLLARS TRILOGY

— THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

— THE GREEN MILE

— FRANKENSTEIN (2025)

— SINNERS

— WEAPONS

— THE INVISIBLE MAN (2020)

— SEND HELP

— GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE

— PROJECT HAIL MARY

&

— WILDWOOD (2026)

What's the theme here:

The theme I basically settled on is unconventional protagonists having to not only fight against the overwhelming odds but face the highest stakes that they're possibly is, regardless of whether it's supernatural/fantastical or not. Yet it's done throughout several time periods and years and it's with that framework I gave, I can do multiple different things in multiple different ways with multiple different tones and multiple different styles.

An added bonus is that this "shared universe" of mine is so visceral that when the special rare emotional moments happen like Andy Dufrense escaping Shawshank Prison or John Coffey being executed, it not only makes them hit even harder than they already did but are actually genuinely shocking but obviously in a GREAT way.

Now as for fun, the ACTUAL theme I listened to that goes along with this:

God bless Johnny Cash!

I've had this idea for a while now and I think maybe this is the perfect leeway into getting the actual idea potentially made (hopefully, never know).

It's called GENERATOR KNIGHT and here's what I've got down for it condensed:

• It will be a 2D adult animated series done in the same style of others like GENERATOR REX and GARGOYLES and will focus on the titular Knight who is a mechanically enhanced vigilante/hunter that kills all kinds of street level threats such as vampires, mutants, criminals, you name it.

• Unlike most adult animation on TV, this will not at all be a comedy and instead be a dark, serious, even gritty drama with elements of sci-fi, action, crime and horror all thrown into the mix without one overtaking the other.

• Michael Jai White will voice the main protagonist while others will be Phil LaMarr, Walton Goggins, Stephen Dorff, Brandon Routh, Jack O'Connell, Brittney Karbowski, Jennifer Hale, Vanessa Marshall, Kari Wahlgren and Tiya Sircar.

• It will be a hard TV-MA rated series where absolutely nothing is held back but is creative and wonderfully over-the-top with its violence and brutality a la BLADE (1998) and BLADE II with it always be kinetic with the action sequences.

&

• The series which be a Hulu original series AND have two seasons with a total of 64 episodes will subtly retroactively establish a new MCU continuity where the best of the best or the ones that add something new/interesting or lead to something better reign supreme such as IRON MAN, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, DAREDEVIL, LOKI and MOON KNIGHT and the lesser ones that don't add or lead to anything like CAPTAIN MARVEL, THE MARVELS, SHE-HULK, SECRET INVASION and THE FALCON AND WINTER SOLDIER are basically non-canonical.

To sum up...
