"Canon" doesn't really make sense for comic book characters because new people write for them and just do whatever they want anyway. This is a perfect example of intellectual property ruining things. Just let everyone make Wolverine moves, Spider Man movies, etc. and whoever makes the best one gets the viewership and the money. Billionaires should not be deciding what version of Spider Man we get.

The irony is that the Marvel comics had also a bad received phase of gender swapping heroes that then obbligated Marvel to resuscitate the old heroes, so it is probable that after an other couple of bad phases the might bring back the original heroes with different actors.

Oh no doubt. Most of Phase 1’s success should be attributed to other’s efforts. Jon Favreau made Iron Man what it was and Feige was more influential with Iron Man 2 (which movie is largely considered better?) Incredible Hulk had Norton rewrite a lot of stuff in it without getting a writing credit. Joss Whedon as much of a despicable person he is, was what made the first Avengers film great. He truly made it feel like the ultimate crossover. Kenneth Branagh brought his experience in the realm of Shakespeare to the Thor Mythos. Also in my opinion Loki was absolutely the best when under the direction of Branagh. Joe Johnston brought his sense of wonder and adventure from the Rocketeer and Jumanji. And also a lot of people don’t give him and his staff credit for the VFX to make Chris Evans look scrawny. Like that was one of the most realistic effects for me at the time. TLDR: Kevin feige coasts off the success and brilliance of others. He’s like the one person in the group project that did the bare minimum to skate by.

A lot of the characters they introduced in phase 4 are characters from the mid-2010s that have already been sidelined because their books didn't sell. Kamala Khan was mildly popular when she was introduced but has been relegated to limited series now because she has been relaunched several times and her books sell worse every time. She is probably the most successful of the lot. Riri Williams hasn't had her own ongoing since 2019. America Chavez hasn't had her own ongoing since Rivera's run which was such a disaster that Marvel published a mini-series just to retcon it out of existence. Marvel really wanted to make Carol Danvers their new flagship character and pushed her hard. She had one series after another with each one selling less than the previous one. They are still plugging away trying to make Carol Danvers happen without much success. They are determined to center the MCU around these characters that mostly flopped.

One of the awkward causes of the contraction of available sources is something at least the Drinker and Mauler have spoken in favour of: killing the villains every time. Aside from the fact it’s a mainstay feature of the comics not to kill them (because they’ve be hunted by the authorities for it if they did) but sooooo many of the great stories only make sense in their original context as revenge plots. As it ism the best you can generally hope for is the Dark Knight Rises thing. “I’m Talia al’Gul, you killed my father.” “I didn’t know you existed…”

Exactly. It was neither funny, nor exciting to see them. The whole premise of the movie was that there is a single main universe, everything else is dispensible. Quite different from how they treated it in Endgame, where there were stakes and they had to return whatever they borrowed in order not to create and destroy alternative timelines.

Avengers: Infinity War was better than End Game, and here's why: Because the Avengers did all they could to win, and still lost. In a way, it is like a homage to the Empire Strikes Back. Back when ESB came out, people loved the movie, but they were shocked by the ending because it was so dark compared to Star Wars' ending. The Return of the Jedi did so well, because people wanted to see how it would end. I think Disney doesn't get it, which is why a cool bounty hunter, like the Mandalorian becomes a babysitter for their adorable money-maker, Grogu. They care about merchandise, not stories.

Any genre can die off and many have. Westerns, Sword and Sandals, Pirate, and Slashers all dominated the multiplexes and box office, and all of them have died out to the point studios wouldn't touch them for years. They all died out for the same reasons people are warning about superheroes: too many and not different enough. Diversity in the story is the key, but Feige doesn't understand. One of the reasons The Batman was such a breath of fresh air was because it was a mystery story first. Batman didn't beat Riddler by punching him but by figuring things out. The Batman was the first in the franchise to focus on Bruce being a detective not just a fighter. The Netflix shows felt new and different with their focus on small-scale issues, but then they tried for the big Avengers-lite show The Defenders. Imagine a Daredevil movie that's more like A Few Good Men where Matt has to use his alter-ego to find the information to win a big case. Imagine a Black Widow movie like The Manchurian Candidate where Natasha has to find a mole. Imagine a Thor movie like Lord of the Rings where he has to stop some dark lord from taking over the Nine Realms. Instead, it's just jokes, meta-humor, and CGI battles that's everything and the kitchen sink. Early MCU movies felt different from each other, but the Guardians of the Galaxy came out and suddenly every Marvel movie copied that in tone. Thing is, Fox was moving that way. They had their X-Men film which were the standard superhero vs supervillain story (though Days of Future Past took it in new directions) while also giving us an Unforgiven-style Logan, Hangover-style Deadpool films, and The New Mutants was initially advertised as a psychological horror movie. Now it's DC giving us the variety with Taxi Driver-style Joker and Se7en-style The Batman. The MCU has been a cash-cow, but like anything going to the same well too often will dry it up.

Phase 4 needed to introduce the fantastic 4, Richard Rider (Nova), and expand the cosmic landscape of marvel leading into the annihilation wave story. OR they should have introduced FF, squadron Supreme and the Xmen, but in different universes. He'll, they could do an avengers movie now with a different cast and story and have it take place in a different universe.

Disney is the Borg. Marvel has been assimilated.

Resistance is futile

yeah - the guy running walking dead said that, too, and the second he said it i was like, “well, bye bye WD.”

It's extremely disingenuous of Feige to say Marvel has 80+ years of stories to tell on screen when they've proven that they're not only crap at curating the ones they already have done recently, they're also more than willing to completely ignore those 80+ years of stories in favor of making stuff up to appeal to an audience that doesn't pay. If they were actually faithful to those 80+ years of stories, the Thanos saga of movies would've found a way to justify his original comic book motivation of trying to literally court the personification of Death instead of "bringing balance to the universe," they wouldn't have killed Tony Stark during it, and they certainly wouldn't have killed T'Challa offscreen in the second Black Panther movie. More ridiculous storylines like Captain America as a werewolf (aka "Capwolf" in the 90s) could've been relegated to Halloween episodes of series like Loki or Falcon & The Winter Soldier or something, but they wouldn't have pulled the trigger on aging Steve Rogers out of action as early in the movie timeline as they did if they were genuinely faithful to telling "80+ years of stories." Insincerity abound at Disney.

This is the song that doesn’t it end, it just goes in and on my friend….

Fatigue is very real! I started burning out on the MCU before Endgame. The DCEU never really got off the ground. I grew up LOVING comics. But, I haven't cared about anything on film and TV for several years. What I have seen as of late is garbage.

An offhand comment Drinker made here is a real gem, the bit about "eating up screentime." When you get a feeling for film history you realize this is what a lot of movies are all about. And it's not always a bad thing. When you look at a lot of the very low budget giallo style films of the 70s, or even more action packed movies like Dirty Harry or early James Bond from around that time, the point of the films is one or two really explosive set pieces that they have the budget for, and the rest of it is trying to stretch out runtime so you have a feature film not a short. This can take the form of goose chase second act mysteries, vibey long takes, world building, romance, love scenes, dialogue scenes, or character work. Tarantino has made a career out of following this pattern, having a lot of snappy dialogue that nobody really cares about in between the intense action that you came for. This is what made the original blockbusters great, was the sense that you had to wade through all this bullshit to build anticipation for the big finale. Jaws is actually a terribly boring movie other than the third act, but that works because it builds suspense, and people will go back to watch it again and again. When that becomes concretized into a formula though, it's garbage. But if you atune yourself to this dilemma of filmmaking, you'll see it's all over your favorite movies. And if you can master it, it can really boost your own creations.

Remember Feige now rhymes with beige.

I'll never understand why they chose Robert Downey Jr., a man who went through addiction, to play Tony Stark, a man who went through addiction ... and didn't do the arc of Tony's alcoholism forcing him to give up being Iron Man, Rhodes taking up the mantle, and then Tony eventually reclaiming his life and his armor. It was so obvious to me that this is what they would do ... and then they only hinted at it. Weird.

@bob1986

Жыл бұрын

Supposedly there was a real reason for that. Downey pretty much refused to have to play a serious addiction storyline because it was so close to home and he was afraid he might relapse if had to get into that headspace again. Which is why Tony's drinking was mostly played for laughs and pretty much phased out after the first Avengers film.

Part of the problem, which is mentioned at about 11:00 is that the films used to make you want to watch the next. Entertaining stories first (or at least they tried) and shared plot moving forward second. Now? The shared universe works against them. There might be one film you want to actually give a chance, but you know you are going to be lost unless you consume the products you have skipped over the last 2 years. Enough to put you off giving anything a chance.
