[[folder: Main/The Mummy Trilogy ]]


[[WMG:The movie ''Film/TheMummy1932'' was an adaptation based on Evy O'Connell's first novel]]
This was Universal Pictures, already known to have adapted ''{{Literature/Dracula}}'' and ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' to film. Adapting Evy's novel for their Mummy movie makes complete sense!

[[WMG:Some ''Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'' fanon:]]
* [[TheOtherDarrin Evy]]. It’s the same woman, but [[TheNthDoctor a different body]], averting the DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest. Somewhere inbetween ''Returns'' and ''Dragon Emperor'', the O’Connells got into [[NoodleIncident an adventure]] that [[DisneyDeath cost Evy her original body]], but she somehow later received [[MariaBello Maria Bello’s]] as a new host. Perhaps it formerly belonged to [[BodySnatcher some enemy]] who was responsible for her death in the first place, thus making it [[HoistByHisOwnPetard just desserts]]. After some awkward adjustment, the family collectively decided [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain to never speak of this incident again]].

* Alex. Also sometime inbetween films, a nebbish, adolescent Alex started [[IWantToBeARealMan wanting to be seen as a(n independent) man]]. He took to using an [[FakeAmerican American accent]] [[WellDoneSonGuy like his father’s]] and ObfuscatingStupidity to appear BookDumb. Underneath the swagger, he is still [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman a well-read, stiff-upper-lip Brit]]. All in-movie blundering counts as evidence of him BecomingTheMask to some degree. This is either HiddenDepths or UnfortunateImplications.

[[WMG:The series takes place in an alternate history:]]

Nearly everything that the films pass off as fact about Egypt or China seems to be in there for the sole purpose of [[SomewhereAPaleontologistIsCrying making learned people cry]]. This Troper was writhing on the floor in pain upon hearing that bit about an Egyptian New Year. Also, why don't they just use Qin Shi Huangdi's name? I saw no reason for the Emperor's [[TheNameless name to be witheld]].
** The series taking place in an alternate history...seems to be implied by the ArtisticLicense:History, yeah. That being said, TropesAreNotBad.

[[WMG:The Medjai are immortal:]]

They're in charge of keeping the world safe from Imhotep, if he was brought back from the dead. So, in order to make things right, they become immortal in-order to protect the world and it wears off when Imhotep has risen.
