Not to be confused with Universal's Dark Universe (which failed, incidentally), the MonsterVerse is essentially a modern interpretation of the aforementioned Toho franchise that saw Godzilla and an array of other monsters do battle, usually in a surprisingly flimsy urban landscape. The franchise began with 2014's Godzilla reboot, and by purchasing the rights to various other Toho beasts, Warner Bros. signaled their intention to develop the lore of their MUTO world . However, the MonsterVerse only kicked off proper with Warner Bros.' involvement in Kong: Skull Island gaming character handedness , a reboot of the titular gorilla's big screen st

ADC/Marksman: ADC stands for attack, damage, carry. This role is responsible for dishing out damage to the enemy team. While these roles can attack and kill pretty easily, they are also one of the weakest in terms of defense. Using gold (gold will be mentioned later) the Marksman can become stron

Godzilla: King of the Monsters duly followed in 2019 and fully cracked open the doors of the MonsterVerse, introducing Mothra, Ghidorah and numerous other Titans waiting in the wings, of which Kong was one. In both critical and commercial terms, King of the Monsters was afforded a more lukewarm response in comparison to the previous 2 entries in the series, but Warner Bros. and Legendary are pressing ahead with their scheduled showdown between Kong and Godzilla none the less. The fate of the MonsterVerse likely hinges entirely on the performance of Godzilla vs. Kong later this year; the upcoming clash could elevate the cinematic universe in the same way The Avengers did for the MCU, but if there's no significant improvement upon King of the Monsters , it's hard to see the franchise continuing further. As things stand, however, the MonsterVerse has generally proved successful for Warner Bros . and could yet become a leading cinematic unive

Similar in style to the MCU and DCEU, the Arthurian series would've comprised solo films for various famed characters of legend and built towards a crossover team-up against a major villain. Audiences and critics, however, sensed that trying to hammer a centuries-old story of knights and vikings into the en-vogue superhero format of the day was bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, and King Arthur 's fortunes weren't helped by an almost invisible marketing presence that meant the release passed most movie-goers by. Unfortunately, those who did witness Legend of the Sword were largely unimpressed with the film's sequel setup, erratic pace and weird David Beckham cameo . Generally considered one of Ritchie's weaker efforts , King Arthur: Legend of the Sword might've fared better without the weight of a further 5 films lingering in the dista

Most enemies expect Tahm Kench users to exploit Devour, your goal with this build is to punish that expectation by leaning on Tongue Lash and Thick Skin to act as a slow moving dueler from early to mid-game. Spirit Visage and Righteous Glory are key to this build against any team t

In the beginning, you’re largely avoiding fights or you’re helping another teammate take down enemies faster. In the end, when you’re skills are up and you have items like Bloodthirster and Black Cleaver, you’re relying on massive DPS from Make It Rain and your ultimate to keep health topped

Knowing how to build Tahm Kench can be tricky given his unique skills and adaptability to stand alone or function as a support. Here are some of the more popular builds for Tahm Kench to give you an idea of how to use this horrifying glutton in this great multiplayer ga

With Marvel's cinematic universe proving so lucrative, it was only natural to explore the possibility of something similar with DC's comic canon. Warner Bros. had all the same tools at their disposal and had just come off the back of their incredibly successful The Dark Knight trilogy when the MCU was evolving into a box office juggernaut. At this point Zack Snyder 's Man of Steel was already in production, and it made sense to use this Superman reboot starring Henry Cavill as the starting point for a full DC Universe encompassing all of the publisher's biggest heroes and villains in one timel

James Wan's The Conjuring was already spiritually connected to the sub-genre of jump-scare heavy modern horror releases in the vein of Insidious and Sinister , and Warner Bros. were no doubt hoping the effort would make enough money to produce a run of sequels. The Conjuring would indeed go on to frighten its way into fans' hearts and spook the cash from their wallets, and it was only then that the widespread potential of The Conjuring not just as a film series but as a fully-interconnected movie universe became cl
