Comedy means joy, usually. When we go to the theater to see a funny movie, we expect hysterical laughter, goofy situational humor, the endorphin surge of a well-placed punchline, even the primal rush that comes with slapstick physical comedy of the Looney Tunes persuasion. To suggest that a comedy movie could ever make you feel bad would be crazy talk — unless we’re talking cringe comedies. Cringe comedies walk the fine line between harmless jokes and something darker, more violent.

It’s no secret that the film industry is dominated by series and franchises and shared universes, to the degree that every time a studio releases a successful movie, it’s only a matter of a couple years before that movie is the start of a new cinematic universe. Turning a simple series — first movie, sequel, sequel to the sequel, and so on — into a franchise only requires one thing: spinoffs that are just as well received as the original project.

When a movie franchise or studio finds out a character of theirs has become iconic, or at least well recognized, those characters become closely guarded intellectual property. You’re not going to see Captain America showing up in Jurassic World, just like you’ll never see Gandalf in a Star Wars movie. Aside from the fact that it’s difficult-to-impossible to convince multiple movie studios to share the rights to characters or stories at all, it just simply wouldn’t make sense to do it.
