It all started when I was about 11 or 12. I was a nerdy preteen and use to spend all my money on action figures. Marvel, Dc, horror, Star Wars, gi joe, you name it. But my favorite were a series of figures called “Dc Universe Classics.” Those were the ones I bought most of. They were and still are some of the coolest figures I’ve ever owned. I had so many and would play with them all the time. I didn’t have a lot of friends, so being upstairs on my own with these figures was my life. They were my friends.

This all started when Iron man came out. I remember loving it, and hearing about the shared universe idea. I was excited. But deep down I wished that DC would do the same. One night while I was playing with my Batman and Robin figure, acting out an adventure. I got an idea. I ended their little story with what some would call a “post credit scene”. I was so excited that I had come up with that idea. The following weeks, I played other adventures with other Dc characters. Doing the same thing, ending their little adventures with teases for something bigger. Finally, during Christmas break. I brought all the members of the justice league together. With the new figures I got that Christmas I could make it a true adventure. I see scenes to music on my computer and iPod. I was so pleased with what I had created. I kept this process going for years. Literally.

I’m a huge film nerd and would take Inspiration from tv and movies. Mainly the MCU, and the ill fated DCEU. I had my own little world that I would plan and pick music and write small scripts. I was totally in control. I was like a director. And in my head the “fans” were always pleased.

I hit a few speed bumps and stopped for months, but would always pick right back up. Where I left off. I would plan little trailers based off real movie trailers. I went deep with it. I was in love with doing this. It was always on my mind, no matter what. This huge plan for a shared universe.

I did this for 10 years. Almost 11 now. It’s not like the MCU where it’s going to go on for 30 more years. My “Films” have an end. I’m planing on acting out the last one very soon. I’m honestly so sad. This has been a huge party of my life for so long. And it’s coming to an end. I’m not sure why I never shared this with anyone. But I hope as I finish this up. This huge secret. I can write this post and give someone else some excitement about it! Sorry for the rant! Thank you for reading.
