Give Custom Collection Fanarts a chance (small Niche)
Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2018 1:26 am
Hello!
I do not have much forum experience and am not an English native speaker so please forgive me. Feel free to move to the right place, i know it's more kinda request, but the request section is not very busy, and maybe there are more people who would find this useful.
I know fanart.tv movie collections are linked with TMDB Collections. Currently (but maybe in the next fanart.tv web version) it is not possible to share fanarts for custom collections and give them a platform. I'm talking about a few but essential exceptions.
Case 1: TMDB Conventions
Like us, the mods and admins of TMDB are just people, some of whom come and go, and everyone has their own ideas of how to do it right. There is nothing wrong with that.
However, I have already noticed some cases on TMDB where "franchises" are traded as collections and some are not. A statement from a TMDB mod "only sequels are collections" is not entirely true, so I'll give you some examples:
The Vengeance Trilogy Movies have nothing to do with each other, but it's in a TMDB Collection.
Simon Peg's "Blood and Ice Cram Trilogy" aka "Cornetto Trilogy" was a collection in TMDB, status has been revoked. But an entry and logos exist in fanart.tv
Monty Python's Motion Picture Movies was a collection in TMDB, but status has been revoked. But an entry and logos exist in fanart.tv
There are already two released films in the new MonvsterVerse Collection: Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island (2017); in the next film Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), both storylines are brought together. In TMDB the Godzilla movie belongs to an undefined collection and the Kong Skull Island movie is a one-of-a-kind film.
Cloverfield Movies as all seperated in TMDB, but it's all in the same verse with the same giant monster.
Case 2. Parent Franchises / Universes:
I know there is the tagging function, but if you always have a small hand of films together, that gets confusing, and unfortunately there are no arts for tags. I'll talk for example:
Star Trek Movies. I use those in TMDB in 3 collections as intended, but have tagged them together
Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just like that
X-Men Movies: Some stick to the TMDB, but some split it into the Original Collection, the Logan / Wolverine Collection, the Prequel Collection, and then tag it together.
Kevin Smiths View Askewniverse is own Universe, but they are all seperated ...
Same to the new Dark Universe.
Case 3. Reboot Movies
There are some Reboot Movies seperated in TMDB, some people collect in codi for browsing together. For example: Dredd Movies, Total Recall Movies, Punisher Movies, Wizard of Oz Movies, Day of the Dead (Remake) Movies ... and so on.
____
Here is a short list of examples (exception) Collections (wich are non collections):
Blood and Ice Cream Collection aka Cornetto Trilogy
Bud Spencer & Terence Hill 20th Collection
Cloverfield Collection
Dark Universe Collection
Day of the Dead (Remake) Collection
Wizard of Oz Collection
Judge Dredd Collection
Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection
Monster Verse Collection
Monty Python Collection
View Askewniverse Collection aka New Jersey Collection
Punisher Collection
Star Trek Collection
Total Recall Collection
X-Men Original Collection
X-Men Prequel Collection
X-Men Logan / Wolverine Collection
____
I ask very politely whether it would be worthwhile to give such cases (even if separate) a place, so fanart creators can also share it to us.
Thx for reading, thx for feedback
