That amazing pile of paper towels was perfect for the times.

Also, Mike and Jay's hair getting longer and longer.

Someone in a YouTube comment pointed out that Jay looks disheveled and worn out whereas Mike doesn’t look very different than usual. Disheveled and worn out is his usual state, lol.

Actually the "avengers of a different time period" does sound legit interesting and more entertaining for a movie. (yes, I do know about LXG)

There's already a comic mini-series of it: 1602, written by Neil Gaiman. Good stuff, you can read it here. If they weren't dragging the corpse of the MCU into another milking phase, 1602 would make a great Netflix series.

A period piece of the Universal monsters would work, but it may not have the same novelty. Some of them are straight up Victorian era creations. Bumping them forward into Renaissance or Dark Ages would be different, but not sufficiently so to make the franchise interesting.

Yeah, I'm aware of 1602 but we're talking along 2 different tracks.

If you mean in the general, as if we had some kind of genie powers over what culture produces - sure. But I was referring to the perspective of Universal, who has properties they want to develop into a shared universe (again). The problem is that modern culture is oversaturated in that. If they wanted to stand out - right now - then they would do well to do what @Marissa Moira suggested. The lack of novelty you bring up only applies to those who are learned in the original sources, aka "established fans." It will be a novelty in the current cultural milieu and to new fans which the studio would want to draw in.
 
I was re-watching some BoTW during this home arrest period and in episode #78; a vid was made in Oshkosh, WI and Mac said "I just bought a new home outside there."

Outside trying to cross promote to his Bunny Ears channel, I think this is why Mac is the most frequent guest. Oshkosh is only a 1.5 hr drive from Milwaukee. Enjoy this pointless info.

There's something secretly golden in the dumb, fast paced humor.

There's two kinds of dumb humor, that which is made by either actual dumb people or people who think you, the audience, is dumb (or sometimes both at the same time!)

And dumb humor that is made by smart people who also don't think the audience is dumb, they just want to make you laugh.

I love that kind of dumb humor, the Broken Lizard movies are like that.

I enjoy how RLM only give us little tastes of their politics while leaving them kind of vague; they shit on all sides without seeming like aimless fencesitters.

Their thing about "manbabies" in this HitB isn't probably what a lot of their fans want to hear, as they'd like to believe that Make and Jay hate the SJWs as much as they do. Instead, RLM shit on the celebrities for being tone-deaf at the beginning, and then shit on the embarrassing people that would devote way too much time, effort and anger to some shitty product that is only designed to make money. Posting opinions people want them to post (for either success or pandering for money) gives away power that they'd rather not cede.

Stop being a manbaby.

There's nothing original in the Kurtzman era of Trek. Each episode of STD and Picard brings its lot of content stolen from inspired by other properties.

Look up Major Grin on YouTube, JJ Abrams was the same for his Trek movies, he has a good video that there's a pretty decent chance 2009 Trek ripped off The Phantom Menace, both sequels did rip off other things too

Stoklasa is growing into his latter Orson Welles phase. All he needs to do now is to eat two rare steaks and drink a pint of vodka for every dinner. Oh wait, I hear Stoklasa already has it covered.

Mike needs to make an avant-garde docudrama called 'H for Hack-fraud'.
 
Mike and Rich problems with newtrek are not cynical, if anything its kindda the opposite, they seem to be mourning the loss of an optimistic view of the future of the human race, the idea that conflict can be solved through dialogue and compromise instead of violence and that a show can be thought provoking and interesting about themes that trascend our everyday life.
