Articles have been on the wall, but Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be in Avengers: Secret War. All signs suggest that the new MCU will be much like the old one: interconnected movies and TV shows, which include characters sharing the same fictional world. Unfortunately, this means Marvel wasted one thing that could save the MCU, because it’s time to throw away the entire concept of the cinematic universe and instead let the creators take the main creative risk.
The idea of sharing the universe was fresh when the MCU first appeared. Fans love to see characters come in various movies, and watching Avengers gather on screen is a dream come true for every comic book nerd.
back Final game The MCU takes everything to an incredible shutdown that feels like a barrier: Most movies follow the failed cookie knife template, and audiences experience massive superhero fatigue, as every weird new TV show or movie feels like a boring assignment we have to study to learn for the next big thing, which is to appreciate the next big thing, here–and increasingly surprising, like Slop, is getting more and more surprised than Cinema.
This puts us into the inherent problem of “resetting” the MCU: There is no reason to believe that Kevin Feige and Disney’s various talking people won’t repeat the same creative questions in this new era. Sure, fans are excited about the X-Men’s arrival, but if their debut ends up being a movie that’s like a sn’t. eternal? Maybe it’s like Fantastic Four: Step One?
This led to my bold idea to save the miracle: abandoning the movie universe.
Beyond the cinematic universe will enable future writers and directors to create bold independent creations, like a Dare Shown in X-Men movies from the 70s or 80s. In this brave new Marvel world, creators never have to worry about how their work destroys others’ work, and there will always be room for future films to provide different (or even radically different) adaptations of our favorite miracle characters.
When Marvel’s movies became independent, their movies were more interesting. Iron Man and Captain America: Winter Soldier While developing its title role in novel and exciting ways, it provides high-quality entertainment. These stories leave room for breath for character development, but soon after Cap and Tony become mascots of group movies rather than characters with their own rich and fulfilling stories.
There is no disadvantage to miracle giving up the movie universe. If the movie bombs didn’t hurt the next movie, as viewers already expected the next movie to be completely different. If the risk pays off, Marvel will have something bold and novel to build something new instead of running the same tired script year after year.
If you still don’t believe it, consider that some of the most interesting superhero movies are not part of any interconnected cinematic universe. This includes Dark Knight,,,,, Spider-Man: Entering Spider,,,,, Superman: Movieetc. These and more leggings and flying movies (including Spider-Man 2 and Batman) prove that making interesting movies doesn’t require a universe of interconnected connections. In the case of Marvel, abandoning interconnectivity may be the only way to consistently make entertainment superhero movies, as creators can stop worrying about Canon and start worrying about simply making a good movie.
Of course, this is unlikely to happen: Disney sees MCU as a franchise that is too big to fail Final game And everything is so successful. Given the surprising box office that has been disappointing and totally failed in recent years, it is clear that the formula is no longer working. Unless Kevin Feige and the company are willing to make a huge difference, you don’t have to be a doctor of Strange Doctor to predict the complete and complete death of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
