What This Means For Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble
Viewers Can Expect Monster Battles
This poster for theupcoming Twisted Childhood Universe movieseems to tease the fact that, at least for a certain period of time,the horror villains at the center of the movie will fight one anotherinstead of teaming up to murder innocent people. This sees the movie taking afterFreddy vs. Jasononce more, as that movie followed Freddy using Jason to reignite fear in potential victims, thus allowing him into their nightmares, only for him to become annoyed at Jason’s overzealous killing and take on the hockey masked killer himself.
Winnie-the-Pooh Blood and Honey
TBD
(Sleeping Beauty, The Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat)
It seems possible thatthe various factions of horror movie monsters could even team up against one another. Should this be the case,Poohniversecould take after theGodzillamoviesfrom the lateShōwaera, in which Godzilla would frequently team up with one or more otherkaijuto take down an opponent such as Gigan, Megalon, or Hedorah. However, in between battles, it still seems highly likely that the monsters will claim a variety of human victims, to keep up with the franchise’s traditional body count.
Our Take On The Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble Poster
The Battles Could Have Real Stakes
While other horror crossovers such asFreddy vs. JasonandAlien vs. Predatorhave taglines similar to “place your bets,” they have so far tended to avoid declaring a definitive winner. However, the Twisted Childhood Universe has already proven itself to be unafraid to have its central monsters die, at least temporarily. This makes itvery likely that several of them will perish at one another’s handsinPoohniverse: Monsters Assemble, giving the showdown a much stronger sense of stakes than it might otherwise have had.
