I claim seigniorage for the term Potemkin Extended Universe. Shallow world building just coherent enough to provide backdrop for video games and fast-paced tropey B-movie plots.

Watching Halo movie. I’ve played the game once for 5 minutes. No idea what’s going on. They’re gesturing at works building and lore I’m not sure exists. Potemkin extended universe?

Fast and Furious is an example of a PEU. No fat trilogy, long-running tv show, or comic book archives with extensive detail. Just rough outlines.
