I 2nd that. Enough "universe" crap already. I can't think of a single franchise, gaming, television, movie, etc. that I like that I want expanded more than it/they are already.

I swear anymore that I feel like I'm in perpetual old-man mode now and hey you kids, get off my lawn is a repeating mantra in my head with everything.

I remember watching the F13 series when I was young (like 13) for only one reason - gratuitous shots of women running scared topless.

Unless this new universe embraces this, I think I'm out.
