A thought process held by many film and game producers and makers, in which they want the new product to be like a prexisting product in the thought that it will make the product sell by principle. This rarely works and almost always kills the product from the start. The term comes from the video game "Aliens: Colonial Marines" in which the producers and makers wanted to make a call of duty game with the alien franchise
J: Hey did you hear about the new monster hunter movie?
L: The, WHAT, Oh man i love that game I wonder what its about

Get the cmmug. Ancient buildings where 7th graders go to learn history by the Stone or the Man and beaten up by 8th graders. All "students" learn useless things except for Big Mac Attack, and play volleyball in the gym, where you have to change clothes in a smelly room. The only time they don’t play volleyball is when they go to the pool, which is actually more of a WWI battlefield as it is 90% Chlorine. The motto is Expect the Best, but it is anything but the best. They have a class called Middle School Issues, which sounds disgusting, until you find out it’s just a 60 year old man ranting about the summer of 73. Good class. They have two Spanish teachers for some reason, and weird rooms. However, the best part of the building is The Band Room in the basement. There is a huge room for The Band, a really good band. They always win awards, coming back as the Champions again. This is because The Band is taught by two Music Gods. The Band Room is great because it comes complete with two offices and a huge storage room. Down the hall is the dirtiest bathroom ever, and two storage closet where they keep empty cases and snacks. Not to mention, CMS has a huge flight of stairs, ranging from the basement to the skies. Nobody knows how many floors there are at CMS, they only use up to the 4th floor, but no one who has went up further has come back. One thing is for sure, the stairs are the only way to get around, resulting in kids getting ripped calves. All in all, it’s a pretty nice place. 10/10.
Kid 1: Which class are you going to next? I've got Gym. We have to play lame volleyball again.
Kid 2: I have to run all the way down to the basement for band. My legs are gonna be so sore. At least I get to sit on the drum shelf. I love CMS
Kid 1: Me too
