And I don't think Realism kills anything, they did it with Batman, and that turned out successfully, so not all of that is bad. 1. Fanfiction corssovers probably refers to things like The Bridge, Five Nights at Godzilla's, etc. He's not saying all fanfic crossovers are bad.

2. Realism doesn't ruin everything, but it does ruin Kaiju. Also, those Batman films were sucessful, but they also dumbed everything down for the sake of "realism". Realism sucks the magic and creativity out of otherwise unrealistic, but fun franchises like Kaiju or Superheroes. Does this apply to The Dark Knight Trilogy and the MonsterVerse? The MonsterVerse is not realistic. It is not going for realism, it is going for beleivablity. Kaiju are  inherinently unrealistic. If the MonsterVerse was trying be realistic, it wouldn't exist is the first place.

The Dark Knight trilogy is trying to be realistic, and does it well in some areas, such as the potrayal of Batman himself (minus his voice, which sounds more like a parody), and doesn't really work in others, such as the Joker being simplified into a generic anarcist killer.
