What "Story of Marvel"?????.
Marvel is a comic book MULTI-VERSE. There is no "story of Marvel". What we got before this was basically the story of The Avengers and The Infinity War. They are now starting to branch out into the other aspects of the Universe.
Its why I'm happy to see the Fantastic Four and The X-Men come home. The treatment of the X-men was mediocre....and the treatment of the Fantastic Four was downright terrrible. Then there was Sony milking Spider-man like a cash cow. [i]Its been 5 years.....lets reboot Spiderman again.....[/i]

So now Fox will do whatever Disney tells them to do with those properties. ...and now you see what EA was REALLY stupid in picking a fight with Disney over Star Wars Battlefront 2.

...and most of the Avenger's "through line" has moved from theaters and into TV. (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wandavision, Loki). While it seems Marvel is using cinema to build something entirely new. So if they are sticking to their past formula (why should they change) they are starting slowly and laying the groundwork for something much bigger. Trust me. Iron man wasn't a "great" movie. It was good...but it wasn't really deserving of all the praise people were heaping upon it at the time. It was just BETTER than the rash of bad superhero movies that other studios were cranking out at the time. But now the bar has been raised, and people are expecting more.

Yeah I never really liked iron man but it did lay the groundwork for the mcu And as for the standard being pretty high we have to remember that it was marvel that set that standard and now they need to keep up with it And it also doesn’t help they let a director with a grand total of 2 movies direct it

TheArtistにより編集済み: 11/13/2021 5:29:52 AMOh, I dont' consider the standards being raised to be a bad thing. But you only get an Infinity War or an End Game after you've done the work to set it up. (A point that DC never seems to get with their movies....apart from Batman). But Iron Man also owes a debt of gratitude to the Blade Trilogy. Those were really the first superhero movies that got away from being campy and cartoony....and showed that a more serious treatment of the material could work. Blade was dark, gritty..and made a dark underworld dominated by vampires believable. It was then followed up by the FIRST set of Spider man and X-men movies..... ...and well as the Christopher Nolan Batman films. But what Marvel really brought to the table was the willingness to play the long game, rather than just trying to milk the properties like a cash cow. They also know their properties extremely well....and generally cast their heroes PERFECTLY. I still remember my reaction when hearing that Robert Downey Jr wsa going to play Tonay Stark...and Benedict Cumberbach was going to play Steven Strange/Dr. Strange. I was "Wow. Perfect". Downey IS Tony Stark. He doesn't even need to act. He just needs to show up and be himself. Cumberbach was a perfect choice because he can eaisly play both heroes and villains...and quirky heroes. So he was the perfect choice to play an intelligent character who starts out as an unappealing -blam!-, but then matures into a true hero.

Yeah I feel like the next big thing is kang or galactus It’s just eternals didn’t really bring anything that we didn’t know already except well the eternals I just feel we could have done without this movie and make it into a show so we would actually have time to know the characters

That's the mistake that DC keeps making. They think they can RUSH past these kind of "world-building" movies and get straight to the "good stuff". But they wind up with paper thin characters that no one knows or cares about unless they are a DC comicbook geek. Whereas Marvel builds a foundation that lets anyone walk into one of their movies, and understand whats going on, and bond with the characters. Even if they've never heard of them before. I tried to watch the second Suicide Squad movie, and turned it off after an hour. Other an Harlequinn, I didn't know or care what happened to anyone else. It was just a rushed and jumbled mess. Whereas the whole point of the Iron Man movie was to introduce you to Tony Stark and to give you his origin story. Everything else was window dressing. I haven't seen the Eternals, but knowing Marvel, I'm sure that's what they did. The movie was about letting you know how these beings are.
