Glass (2019): Franchises

You can lead a horse to water… Shyamalan’s plan to make an indie alternative to the Marvel and DC cinematic universes would have been a fantastic one. If it had worked. But Glass was a massive disappointment, struggling to connect the pieces and let the characters define the story instead of the other way around. It’s hard to say what he, or the studio backing him, was afraid of doing here—but it seemed like the idea of returning to characters he’d created and continuing their story was something that just wasn’t clicking.
