I would like more cinematic universes. At first I thought of them as expensive 2-hour-episode tv shows that played in theaters, but the directed-acyclic graph structure with a loose chronology is a much stronger story-telling scaffolding. TV is pretty linear.
TV universes too.

What makes a workable cinematic universe vs a linear one? Is there a distinction?

Well the real world has loosely connected parallel threads that only occassionally cross paths so it’s more realistic
Harry Potter is too linear in main series but now they’re universing it. Star Trek and Star Wars are old universes that bolted on parallels later(DS9+Voyager)

I've recently been enjoying the JRPG version of a cinematic universe: Legend of Heroes
