Here I'm looking at how Marvel movies specifically from their own cinematic universe have changed over time.
Unlike other iterations of the changed over time series, I'm not going to address individual films here. With 22 movies released since 2008, I'm going to parse things out the way Marvel has - into phases - from the first Iron Man movie all the way to Endgame. In the last decade, played out through these phases, we can see a consistent tone emerge, how the studio planned for the future, and how growth has been organic, and careful.
And just to be clear, before we start, I'm not going to spoil anything here, or really talk about the plots of the movies in question.
Movies And TV Mentioned:
Captain America (1979), Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (1979), Fantastic Four (TV Series 1979), Spider-Man (TV Series 1981-82), The Trial Of The Incredible Hulk (1989), Blade 1998, The Films Of Marvel's Cinematic Universe (2008 - Current).
Music Used That Isn't Mine:
Pass The Dutchie - Musical Youth, 1982
Sixty Seconds To What - Ennio Morricone, 1965
Showpiece for Harpsichord - Igor Kipnis, 1968

8:42 I remember going into the movie thinking "Who really cares about Iron Man?" He was some 3rd tiered character on Marvel Vs Capcom and I watched because RDJ. After that Iron Man became The Marvel character to watch thanks to RDJ's performance and the story telling. So much so, that everyone stood up and applauded him in the end credits. It really is brilliant what Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios did. As a kid Marvel was mainly Wolverine and Spider-Man. Now, every character is on mostly equal footing because we care about them so darn much. Oh, and that lamp :)

Whoever came up with the idea to include the bits from the Black Sabbath song in the teaser trailer for Iron Man... there's no way they got anywhere near the amount of credit they deserve for laying the foundation of the juggernaut known as the MCU. I firmly believe that's what got half the people into the theater. Not the song itself, really. But it showed a certain willingness of the movie to be more... self-aware, I guess. To revel in self-awareness, and yet _not_ play it as one big goof. I just watched the teaser again for a refresher, and they actually start the thing off with the same music they used in the Spiderman trailer like 6 years earlier. By then it was just generic superhero music. Then it gets more serious and there's a few seconds of Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot". But when they brought in the Black Sabbath... I remember there was an audible reaction from the audience (of whatever movie I was about to see). This "Oh, hell yeah!" kind of reaction. And I felt it too. I never gave a shit about Iron Man before. And RDJ was just some actor who peaked in the '80s, had an embarrassing downfall, and then fucked up his second chance on Ally McBeal, as far as I was concerned. And yet... months later, I found myself paying to see that movie.

@SirBlackReeds 5 лет назад

Too bad they didn't use Iron Man until the end credits, and even then it was just the opening strumming. Even the damn video game used it in the escape from the terrorists. You're wrong about RDJ. Chaplin is what revived his career.

Why not? Hollywood loves doing the same thing over and over again and selling it back to you about and again. It's how "epic" movies are and will be made now. Like Paul eluded to it's kinda just like a drawn out television series that they can charge you know for. I liked the movies and it was no small feat but with enough money and ambition you can resell old (though changed enough to piss off comic book fans) stories over and over until you die a very rich man. Now if you'll excuse me I've got to finish... Err, start my epic 40 part Thundercat saga. Ssshhh don't tell anyone but it's really just the series with 3 episodes crammed into every movie with slight alterations and unbelievable merchandising potential.

Comment - growing up with Marvel comics is not that relevant. Go to any Marvel movie in the theater, look at how many kids are there, and look at how much they are enjoying themselves. My 7yr old is a big marvel fan, and she very definitely didn't grow up with the comics like I did. Never mattered to her, she became a fan simply by watching.

I'm fine when they made the marval films simple and clear from the comics, however, I do take issues when marval are reversing or changing context of the original stories and character motivations, like Thanos a proud galactic demigod pleasing death by genocide, in to a depress ideologue environmentalist. I can see what marval is doing but there be consequences when changing the source material for general audience. Better to follow marval comic's characters and stories in its objective integrity, then change it for the masses short term.

Stan Lee said in the 1990s something that remains true: all entertainment is self-editing. When creators stop making money, that's when the entertainment changes. It's why I'm significantly less hysterical about such and such being a thing if I hate it. Wait long enough and something better always comes along.

@@johnathonhaney8291 That is very true. While the current trend of superhero movies has lasted for a quite a while now, it is more than likely it will be replaced by something else at some point. What that something is and when it happens is anyone's guess.

I have my own comics library and forty years of comic book reading experience. It would be fun to collaborate with you, perhaps about how the film and comic stories are different from each other? I'm beginning work on some comics videos here myself. Thanks for your creativity. Its inspiring.

Worked with Gunn and Rooker on Slither. Both are great professionals. Gunn acts as young as he looks. Most people are shocked when they find out his real age. Hopefully his career recovers the "incident".

They never directly go out of their way to piss off the fans of the source material, unlike every other franchise. People under estimate "die hard fans" but you don't want to see a movie when the one guy who knows about what it is about won't stop talking about how much he hates everything about it.

Interesting that you say Thor: The Dark World is where Marvel Studios felt relaxed, considering they had Patty Jenkins fall through and rushed to find a director. Fortunately for them, Alan Taylor was fit for the role and was genuinely excited about the project. After getting most of the way through the film, Marvel Entertainment freaked out about the film and commissioned Joss Whedon rewrite scenes for it - this is where things like Loki turning into Captain America came in, and other scenes with Loki, as well as some with Odin. Due to this, a lot of the backstory for Malekith was dropped and radically shortened to a one-note villian.

One of the reasons for the enduring popularity of the superhero genre is that it is really a super-genre (pun intended). That is, superheroes allow one to tell many different kinds of stories in many different genres. Captain America: First Avenger is war movie, and it uses the classic tropes and hits the typical beats of traditional war movies. Captain America: Winter Soldier, by contrast, is a spy thriller, and it uses the tropes and beats of a spy thriller. Guardians of the Galaxy is a space adventure/caper flick. The first Avengers film is an alien invasion movie. Dr. Strange is a fantasy story. Iron Man 1 is basically a screwball romantic comedy with some action-adventure and corporate intrigue thrown in for spice. I could go on, but the point is that superheroes work so well because almost any story can be a superhero story, and therefore a superhero story can be almost any kind of story. That may be why efforts to create a film universe out of classic horror characters, Universal's Dark Universe, which pretty much died aborning, was never going to succeed: those films can only ever be horror movies. Even if The Mummy had been a success, I think people would get tired of an entire universe of such films pretty quickly.

@johnathonhaney8291 5 лет назад

Nicely done...superheroes do stand at a unique cross blend of genres that the more blind fail to appreciate. Sci-fi, magic, fantasy, horror elements, straight human drama, various schools of comedy...nothing is out of bounds.

Interesting to follow and certainly a well done video that was thoroughly researched. I admit I was never much into the Avengers growing up so maybe that's part of why I was slow to get into Phase 1 (though I admit I thoroughly enjoyed the first Avengers movie and that encouraged me to watch the movies I'd missed in Phase 1) and why I was significantly disappointed with Age of Ultron and then with Civil War. After that I just lost steam with the MCU. I've still seen many of the movies but I admit by Phase 3 I was no longer invested in the MCU. I think it's similar to how I loved Spiderman growing up but Spiderman 3 just killed my interest in the character and so I've skipped all the Spiderman movies since. It might partially be comic book movie fatigue for me as while I held out a little longer with the DCEU, after Aquaman last year I just felt done there too (though I'm somewhat curious to see what Robert Pattinson does as the next Batman as I liked Ben Affleck's take on him).
