It seems that the air smells better, the colours are more vibrant, and I've been seeing way more different types of songbirds in the trees. Even a perching wood duck on one of the power lines. Shutting down the daily grind due to the coronavirus seems to have done wonders for old mother earth. Lets hope a lot of this telecommuting stays in place afterwards.

Amen - it took a tragedy like this for us to start appreciating our world and "old mother earth" as you put it :thumbs_up:

Exactly. It took a pandemic for us to stop making Superhero movies, the planet appreciates us for it. :)
Superhero movies will probably never stop. I don't have too many problems with them, the more pulp ones are usually just fun to watch, and there are some really genuinely good ones like The Dark Knight. I think what Marvel movies did is try to get every studio interested in giant fictional universes (The Dark Universe lol). Anyways... I'm getting off topic

Yes, the Universal Monsters Universe was indeed a joke. :)

I would actually be interested in a remake of some of those, but an Avengers Monsters? Nah ...
A lot have been remade, at least in terms of the classic ones. I don’t think you can make a legitimately serious remake out of any of the premises listed above though lol. Hey, Carpenter’s The Thing was kinda sorta a remake, although it was more of an adaptation of anything. Hm, A Creature from the Black Lagoon remake might be cool, if you could get one of the greats or up and coming promising horror directors/writers to make it. I’d love some more werewolf movies, if they were interesting, although I’ve yet to see Late Phases or Dog Soldiers, which I’ve heard are both great indie films. Although American Werewolf in London is good, a lot in it was left to be desired imo.
