this new universe??
Is this like a marvel superhero universe thing they are starting or what??
shareYes, and in all fairness to them the monsters had crossed over a few times in the original franchises in the 30s and 40s.
sharethat sounds kind of dumb...
shareIt was the 40's, not really fair to compare movies from then to ours.
shareThink what you will, but I'd say they were thinking ahead of the curve.
They really helped popularize the idea of crossovers/shared universes, and that influence even encouraged more crossovers in the comic book world.
