Fantastic Four: Step One Open this week, the trek of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that continues to exist through popular culture. MCU hopes to kick out a pair of pants with the latest blockbusters as the brand has been in a downturn in its cultural dominance. Even MCU Shepherd Kevin Feige recently admitted that Marvel will focus on quantity in quality over the past few years.
In fact, recent exams and revelations for recent MCUs show that there is more chaos and chaos happening behind the scenes than anyone realizes, and reflects that on the big screen.
The first step is tripping
Let’s get it quickly Fantastic Four: Step One For example. News has come out that John Malkovich’s character Red Ghost has been completely cut in the finished film. He was proven in previous marketing materials and was certainly positioned as a significant figure in the story.
No! yoink! There! Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to cut actors from movies, but it seems more worthy of review in MCU movies because these things give people the veneer of the past. How do key characters like Red Ghost make the story totally irrelevant?
It’s no secret that MCU movies and shows are often reconfigured throughout the production process. Likewise, when it comes to most Tentpole Studio versions, the changes in reshoots and post-production are the standards of the course. Unfortunately, it seems to be the default creative state for the MCU: make the movie/performance clear at thickness, rather than writing scripts before production begins.
I’m sure no one will see Fantastic Four: Step One Red Ghost/John Malkovich will be frustrated if he isn’t in the movie, but his removal suggests an overall structural mentality that the MCU seems to be unable to escape. Obviously, no one has carefully crafted the version of Red Ghost in the stories they can promise. It is the lack of confidence in their script that has become an inevitable problem in building a strong world of characters.
Who doesn’t care about post-credit guest appearance?
Speaking of characters, the MCU builds the foundations in the amazing audience, Nick Fury in Iron Man. It is a precedent to make programmed viewers not only expect to mock a new character at the end of the Marvel movie, but also to make that character understandable for future movies.
The MCU performs this exercise through the factory assembly line and it will drain a formula that loses its effectiveness. We expect that we believe Hercules will be as important as Nick Fury. Has anyone actually bought Harry Styles and Nightmish Patton Oswalt Gnome as characters that advanced with super points?
Here’s the thing: Kevin Feige didn’t buy these things, either. He also said he was not committed to any post-degree roles we saw in Phase 5. But trust Big Kev, everything in Phase 6 will be very important.
Goodbye, blade
Then, there Blade. This is undoubtedly the most eye-catching trouble for the MCU. Announced in 2019, intending to release it in November this year Blade The timeline has been deleted for the foreseeable future. Pre-made enough is enough, a story from the early twentieth century. Ryan Coogler uses these costumes for when the movie can’t put things together sinner.
Many fans think Blade It shouldn’t be a movie that requires a lot of rewriting and repetition to produce a decent story. There is already a trilogy of a movie that proves that blades are not the hardest nut to crack. So why is the MCU blade a character that seems to be unable to emerge from a confident concept?
It’s just my own guess and artistic criticism: I don’t know if Blade is the best character that can be knitted into a large number of other comic book movies. I’m sure there is a standalone blade story that can wear the MCU nickname while not really acknowledging most of the world of MCU, but this beats one of the audience’s expectations for an MCU movie or show. If you don’t do MCU work in every MCU project, why say it’s part of the MCU?
Here is the capture 22 of Marvel Studios’ own production: They want to adapt to each character, but some characters are not built to adapt to the specific improvisation of the Marvel Universe. If part BladeThe trouble is trying to fit the square studs of daycare into Kevin Feige’s round hole.
After James Gunn’s commitment to DCU deployment and retaining movies and shows does change, MCUs will need to strengthen their creative games. Part of this means making stronger commitments to the stories they want to tell, rather than formulas that make them successful.
