All this cinematic universe / Marvelization of movies kinda depresses me, in that case.
I mean, yes. Of course it can be fun to have characters hop in and out of each other's movies. And it's entertaining to see all these films tie-in and build up to a major ultimate climax of galactic proportions.
But the downside is that this formula can be somewhat rigid.
Like RFX mentioned, Harry Potter and LoTR franchise worked out and it had all the director's control (or a majority of their control at least). And those worked perfectly. I cannot imagine them getting made today without a bunch of studio execs wanting to shoe-horn bunch of needless references and post-credits scenes.
