Most importantly, the greatest reason that Universal shouldn’t give up on its Dark Universe is that the solution is so simple that they can adjust their execution to a “less is more” approach and get back on the horse without too much effort in re-calibration.
All that’s missing is smart marketing and proper scheduling, and the Universal Dark Universe could provide an alternative to the standard blockbuster template that’s been offered season after season.
Should they take these suggestions to heart, and start restructuring their house at once, there could be a beautifully dark future for the Dark Universe.
A future where the frightening truth shines brighter than it ever has on the Universal lot.
