The difference here is that Forrest Gump isn't actually a historical figure, but if we incorporate the Marvel comics idea of a multiverse, it could fit in perfectly. It plays out as a story set in a parallel universe, and naturally they want to touch on as many different ideas from the main as possible to showcase their spin!

The idea of taking multiple WWII movies and editing them together in chronological order as one long movie has been in my head for at least a year now.

October Sky, about the students that would help found the JPL is the coming of age prequel. Gagarin: First In Space, is the movie about the rivals. Gagarin's space flight is referenced in almost every other movie.

Dude, you need to include The Dish in your USSPCU! Such a great little film about a small element of Space Program. So basically, it's the Ant-Man of your USSPCU.

Michael Sheen playing Tony Blair thrice is something I did not know BUT am totally unsurprised by; I once walked into the living room, and my mother was watching one of these films on TV and within 3 seconds, without knowing what the film was, without even being said in the film, I knew it was a film about Tony Blair, Michael Sheen is just that damn good as him.

That's more like a straight series, though, since their connective tissue is just one character played by the same actor.

There's probably something there in more historically based westerns, though. Maybe someone could chart out connective tissues between movies that orbit the gunfight at the O.K. Corral? Tombstone is an obvious pick, and a quick google search turns up 2012's "Wyatt Earp's Revenge," with Val Kilmer playing a 1907 Wyatt Earp remembering his time in Dodge City.

@@maximeteppe7627 I dunno, the power of a cinematic universe is in providing a sense of scale through context, and the MWNN movies all seem specifically built to avoid specific context. They're all a little removed from time and place, like how TGTB&TU takes place during the civil war, but features anachronistic technology and takes place in a deliberately murky geographic area. I really dig that ambiguity, and the aspects of folklore it takes on as a result, but I'd be hard pressed to call it a Cinematic Universe. Same deal with the Mad Max movies - I really like how none of them have a totally sensible continuity with the others, it provides an almost unique sense of unmooring from time and history, the same way that the new societies of the wasteland need to build themselves from an uncertain foundation. I'm worried that since the worldbuilding in Fury Road was such a hit, future movies will feel bound to that particular batch of lore, when the really good thing for the series would be to move on entirely again. Never stack even two stones on top of one another. The world is too mad to make that much sense.

@@gordongraham2064 I agree that the cinematic universe craze could be detrimental to movies if context becomes too binding. Most movies (in general) work in part because they don't have superfluous context, and everything is there to improve the core story. Losing sight of that for the sake of superfluous lore and all important McGuffins could really mean a dip in storytelling quality. Making a standalone movie good is hard enough, making a saga is orders of magnitude harder. just a thought: this "scale through context" thing is attributed to the MCU, but isn't arguably a nerd thing that can be more easily traced back to lore heavy fantasy and scifi novels? sure the current trend has been set by marvel but isn't the imulse the same that mads Tolkien give a rich history to every location and family? there is a strong overlap between comics fans, trekkies and scifi and fantasy novels buffs.

That really depends. There was one scene I remember seeing from Drawn to Life (I don't watch the series, but I do see that scene float around the internet), where you one of the Jestsons said to a character what year they were from, and right there on a calander was that year. But the reality was totally different from the universe imagined in The Jestons. Blade Runner (The original film) set itself in 2019, a year that is... close, to say the least. To quote Avery Brooks "Where are the flying cars! They promised us flying cars!". Alien (from a glance from Wikipedia, I haven't seen the film), and Star Trek I feel are the most accurate to how things will play out. Though, Star Trek is a bit more hopeful and optimistic that we will EVENTUALLY get over our differences. Fiction about the future is fun, but it'll likely happen way later than stated. It'll also be more likely inspire the future depicted; Touch-screens in TNG were done with SFX way back when, but could easily be done now with specially-made tablets (with special attention for smudges, of course).

Another example of filmmakers willingly connecting their independent films to a shared CU was of course the Elmore Leonard CU, when Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" and Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" not only had the same FBI agent, but both hired Michael Keaton to play him. (Tarantino has been toying with his own CU anyway, connecting his films with relatives and ancestors of each other's protagonists.)

In my country we have the P-AWCU (Phil-American war cinematic universe). With two interconnected movies focused on different parts of the same event. One was a sweeping war epic, the other was a coming of age story.

I have always considered Next, Jumper, and Push to be effectively in a cinematic universe. They all basically follow the same rules, and the secret societies hunting down the people with super powers in Jumper and Push are basically identical. Also in Next they just have a room set up for a person to see the future in. One line of dialogue could have made things basically the same universes.

dude, u flipping nailed it with this video

The Michael Sheen-Tony Blair films are much more like a conventional trilogy than a more loose-knit cinematic universe. All are written by Peter Morgan (and the first two directed by Stephen Frears) and follow the same lead character through three different parts of his leadership. (The Queen, however, could be seen as part of a Queen Elizabeth II Cinematic Universe alongside The King's Speech, in which she appears as a child, The Crown, which documents her early years, and King Charles III, which posits what might happen after her death. These are different movies and series by different creatives in which Liz isn't always the protagonist but together tell the story of her reign, including formative years prior to it and what happens after).

To your conclusion, I think the MCU has diversified somewhat already. Captain America started in WWII, Thor Ragnarok and the Guardians films have a strikingly different tone and Captain Marvel looks like it's going to break up the chronology. Plus the Netflix shows have a very different tone again, telling smaller stories. There's a definite homogeneity to the franchise, but they don't ALL feel like the same Iron Man-esque films.

There's also the GRCU, the Great Recession Cinematic Universe, comprised of the movies The Big Short and Margin Call.

Now how does "Apollo 18" fit into the USSPCU? Also love how the "Britain in WW2"-Universe seamlessly bridges into the "British Monarchy"-Universe.

The thing is, the MCU DOES impart a new style, tone, and genre onto every installment.....for the first 2/3rds of every movie. Hulk is a fugitive drama. Ant-Man is a heist film. First Avenger is a period piece war movie. Winter Soldier is a political thriller. Thor is a Shakespearean lost Henriad play.GotG is basically a Coen brothers movie with spaceships. That is, all of these films are all of these things until the 3rd act, when they're all dragged kicking and screaming into being just "a Superhero movie," where they all simultaneously save the whole world and their specific love interest by fighting a villain with similar powers to them.

You know, I would actually like to see a cinematic Universe based around mythologies (be it Greek, Egyptian, Celtic, whatever). In a way, they were sort of the original version of comic-book universes, with a whole slew of superpowerful deities and heroes with their own backstories that often interact with each other and even appear in different stories.

Love the video, but think people really exaggerate the homogeneous nature of the MCU. I mean, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy came out in the same year, and they are entirely different kinds of films: spy thriller and sci-fi comedy. Phase Three has taken this even further. Look at how stylistically and tonally different films like Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther are from each other. Only the weakest MCU films (i.e., The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man 2) feel truly formulaic to me, and I think that's where the idea comes from. But hey, I'm willing to be proven wrong.

@timbatale7526

5 жыл бұрын

The first example is a very good one: Winter Soldier and GotG are, indeed, very different movies. But the second example is quite a stretch. Even though I get what you're saying, those three are still in the same genre - the superhero genre. Yes, some (most) are closer to comedy, while others use more dramatic elements, but overall follow the same narrative. Winter Soldier is the exact opposite - a spy-thriller that sometimes utilizes the superhero bits. And therefore, the only true standout movie in the MCU. GotG was very fresh at the time, but mostly because it explored more the bizarre side of the MCU. Patrick gives the perfect example with a character study movie about Daredevil. To put it in perspective: most of the MCU feels like Shane Black movies (with less witty dialogue), and adding a David Fincher, or a Paul Thomas Anderson, or a Tarantino, or a Coen Brothers film would be quite refreshing.

@adityanathan7059

5 жыл бұрын

It also has to do with the approach, style, and look of the films. The first example of Winter Soldier and GoTG is a good one indeed since not only do they differ in genres, the look and feel of the two is also different; Winter Soldier being more fluid in terms of rapid in terms of camerawork and have a more grey-ish color palette while GoTG's action are ludicrous and have a colorful look to them. But Ragnarok, Homecoming, and even Black Panther shares the same CGI action, colorful look, and sense of humor (although in different doses of course). It would be great if the MCU can differ more like how Logan, a dry looking gritty pessimistic drama, and Deadpool, an over the top meta comedy, is competely distinct. Maybe do an actual Millitia war film with Black Panther, an Edgar Wright cartoonish take on Spider-man, and even a noir detective thriller with Hawkeye. Won't that be more exciting?

Tim Batale Superhero films aren't a genre unto themselves. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a high school coming-of-age film in the vein of John Hughes. Black Panther is an afrofuturistic political thriller. Thor: Ragnarok is a Taika Waititi film, in all its zany improvised comedy, bright visuals, and wholesome charm. These are very different films where their individual directors were given full reign to make the movie they wanted, just with a superhero as the lead. The MCU you and Patrick want is MCU we've had for years now; you just haven't gotten the particular films you want to see, I guess.

Eh, kind of? I think the distinction here can be found in his discussion of the ending for "The Post." Visually, it's a clear homage to "All the President's Men," and wants the audience to consider the scope and intertextuality of the story. You wind up with a similar beat when it shows Gus Grissom's death in "First Man," since that was an especially potent beat in "Apollo 13." The point isn't that these stories have shared elements historically, it's that the filmmakers have drawn on these connective threads, often specifically to lend scope to the world that they're presenting. They use intertextuality to remind the viewer that they are merely seeing one slice out of an immense story, in the same way that fictional cinematic universes reference each other to create the sensation of a world that exists beyond the frame.

@@SolarLiner Actually... his point seemed to be that: 1) Movies about an (arbitrarily narrow) interconnected series of historical events can be seen as part of a series. 2) And that this series can be enjoyable despite written differently, such that real cinematic universes might learn from this and "switch it up." as... 3) the MCU seems to "all feel the same." This point, too, is ridiculous... as while critics have become broken records about how "the same" Marvel Movies feel, they also can't help but remind us that Winter Soldier is a spy thriller, that Homecoming was a teen comedy, etc. AKA, they do "switch it up." Marvel has made a deliberate choice to keep it's movies relatively upbeat and fun, but they do tell different stories. We have gotten spinoffs... not Pepper Pots the movie, but Homecoming and Black Panther. Antman has made an effort to be relatively self-contained, fun stories set in the same universe. Yes, eventually, I'd like to see Marvel do something with their horror characters... preferably a Netflix-esque series leading up to the Spirits of Vengeance/Legions of Monsters... I'd be up for a Twilight Zone-esque "What if" that tackled big themes, like Marvel Zombies... but only if they got the big name actors for the small screen.
