How to SAVE Marvel Studios

I love Marvel at least I used to this is me 6 years old hiking a mountain in a Spider-Man outfit this is me at 6 years old posing with my Spider-Man Lego safe to say this kid loved this [ __ ] then my mind exploded when my 10-year-old brain saw this [Music] from this point on I was in I ate up the movies go like another enjoyed the golden years of Marvel animation Avengers X-Men Spiderman I watched every movie and it only got better say my name even my little 14-year-old brain could not process what an event The Avengers was and then it leveled up with this inity godlet that villain from the superior Squad show my Thanos will rule the universe yeah some assly required he was at the end of The Avengers movie Dread it run from it my mind knew exactly what was to come and over the next 7 years we built to that event Destiny arrives all the same it was sweet it was cathartic it was simple setup and payoff my only curse is you and then it ended fittingly cold old end game this served as a jumping off point for a lot of people a lot of people were done they felt like the story they had invested in had come full circle they had ended things with the hero they started everything with Tony Stark I was 10 when I saw Iron Man and 21 when Avengers end game came out we had quite literally grown up with these characters seen our heroes mature you're not the guy to make the sacrifice play a Heroes had come full circle our Trinity had moved on so so we look to what's next who was our new Trinity the answer is there was none black panther Doctor Strange Captain Marvel Spider-Man all contenders to be the flag bearer of Marvel moving forward but nothing ever calcified nothing stuck sadly Chadwick pass forcing Marvel to escalate a Legacy movie I'm sure they were saving for a black panther 3 or after captain had her head in the clouds or in the Stars more accurately never being present enough to lead a team I'm so sorry I have to deal with this you can get my number from Bruce it was so nice to meet you Doctor Strange the same with dimensional activities and reality changing events and we're going to fix it as for Spider-Man he's owned by Sony which makes it difficult making him the centerpiece of your Universe singers they don't own him so what does that leave us with a nerfed Hulk and man what I'm trying to get out is The Avengers brand the Marvel IP doesn't look as bulletproof as it once did there's no Trinity no character no Lynch pin we can specifically follow throughout this multiversal Saga sure maybe characters like Deadpool or Loki but the MCU has branched off the MCU has gone Cosmic with the eternals terrestrial with the Scrolls Street with the Kingpin now these branches have its advantages some people don't want a cosmic story they might want something grounded having all these Avenues to go down means viewers get to pick and choose what they want to follow on the same side of that coin though is a glaring negative the very real issue of oversaturation now that word has seemingly lost all meaning people have been using it as a critique back in Phase 3 we used to get one Marvel movie every year then it was two then three phase three clocked in at a respectable 24 hours of content comparatively to phase 4 that set a record at get this 59 hours in half the time now what's not to love right more content means more movies and shows means more of this world means more stories and more characters to enjoy right well kind of see what if the shows are not good what if the plot threads or characters get left hanging tart has been sticking out of the Earth for 3 years at this point and there hasn't even been a slight mention of him in any other shows or movies we've gotten so used to introducing characters in post-credit scenes and then doing nothing with them Aeros and pit Black Knight white Vision Hercules the list goes on and on what's my point well whilst it's nice that we know these characters are Loosely connected and will most likely converge in secret Wars they're totally doing the '90s Avengers General audiences just don't care it's too much to keep up with let's say you're a fan of the street stuff you're going to have no idea who pip and Eros are let's say you've only seen the cosmic stuff well just the same you're going to have no idea who Eko or Kate Bishop in aggressively expanding this world General audiences have just checked out they don't care now I think there's a case to be made for this point the idea that these movies just require too much homework maybe that's what made something like werewolf by night so enjoyable you didn't have to do hours of homework to sit down and enjoy it but I think the homework isn't an issue people are willing to invest in the character if they care about them they're willing to do the homework I think the real issue however is just that people's investment people aren't invested because the stories just aren't good they're not worth investing in blame it on Half Baked CGI blame it on shitty writing or an overuse of misplaced comedy it doesn't matter I think the issue is a sum tootal of it all a story that can't even take itself seriously lazy in its visuals its story or its tone can we start to shoot these movies with the VFX in mind light the sets intentionally to create something more Dynamic than the flat looking stuff we're getting now can we return to a time when our heroes felt like they were in danger when they felt vulnerable have their backs up against the wall and feel like they can be hurt can we stop trying to recapture Tony Stark's personality in every character or recapture the lightning in the bottle that was Guardians one it's not that unique of a thing to say not every movie has to have a sarcastic lead I'm sorry is this a joke to you Marvel has a rich tapestry of characters coming from ancient times ancient lands so why is it that we feel the need to remove that cont contrast seeing these worlds Clash is what creates great friction on screen making everyone Tony Stark light does not the world's on fire it's often said that Marvel movies all end the same way Marvel have tried to tap into a formula a formula for pumping out billion dooll movies in doing that the movies have now become formul every character and every story every bit of action all feels the same what are we doing now if everything starts to feel the same then the audience starts to check out the audience stops caring and if the audience stops caring they stop doing the homework and if they stop doing the homework they're not caught up and if they're not caught up they just pull out all together okay so we've explained the problems regarding Marvel but let's take a crack at actually trying to fix this universe now Marvel can make us car again by showing that they care themselves we don't just go out there and throw movies against the wall and I hope it's a hit these all come out of incredible collaboration and it's based on passion and commitment to telling good stories we have no other agenda but to make great films and I think it's evident enough that the new creative talent in Marvel just don't care have to be honest I was not very steeped in the comics I didn't read any Comics or do any research I just I wasn't familiar with Comics we didn't lean into a whole lot of the history of the comic books yeah candidly we were not enormous comic fans I wasn't super into superhero comics when I was getting first thing I was told is don't read the comics well I was relieved for Marvel because I had threatened to burn them to the ground yeah not a good look not a great plan but a movie begins with the foundation of a story to tell and how we tell that story is super important if they started to shoot these movies like movies again and not like SNL skits would care if they stuck to the drama of a scene instead of undercutting it with humor would care again if we actually cared about the characters like we used to characters that were flawed and didn't still Invincible would care again following some Unwritten rule that you have to throw a bunch of flash at the audience in the climax it distracts from the story which is that my life fell apart right when I was learning to be both Jen and She-Hulk those are my Stakes Kevin on the note of there being no Tony Stark No lynchpin character to take us through this multiversal Saga the guy's dead and he should stay dead for his death to matter but I think Marvel have taken the wrong lessons from Stark thinking every character should literally be him taken from his personality and how he presents on screen rather what I think we need to borrow from the character is his place within the MCU I think we need a character that we can follow a lynchpin a hero that can consolidate all these branches and bring everything under the fold a character that is Loosely connected to all branches concurrent right now General audiences are lost right now so we need to start giving this multiversal Saga some direction enter Deadpool this is your chance to be a hero among Heroes let's [ __ ] go I smell what you're stepping in Sensei your little Cinematic Universe is about to change forever I am King I'm the Messiah I am Marvel Jesus hold your horses there way now whilst I think Deadpool can be this character if they really need to go there even aware of the monotony of these movies and can point them out to the audience superhero Landing I feel like audiences need to care about the drama of these movies again and that can't be done with his irreverent breaking of the fourth wall and laxidasical attitude pulling audiences out of the drama they need to stay invested in the conflict not above it so I think you can see where I'm going with this to me it makes sense to make Spider-Man the new face of the MCU heck he kind of already is naturally they won't be a part of everything so a trinity might be handy to divvy up some of the action in a way similar to Iron Man being our POV through the infinity Saga with Thor and cap tying elements together now I know what you're thinking risky considering he's a Sony character but I haven't chosen spotty by accident one Holland's a trusted face audiences can get behind people's faith in Marvel can return through him two spotty isn't Miss Marvel his Spider-Man a big enough character that we can actually believe him as our POV through this journey three he was Tony's Protege within this universe kind of makes sense to pass the Baton to him four on the note of speaking of passing the Baton Peter could last another 10 years making these movies before eventually passing that baton to miles we could actually see Peter grow into a man in real time lastly and the most important one he has actually the right connective tissue to all the concurrent stories to be able to consolidate them all the most obvious connection to all of these branches is in the streets spoty is famously a street level hero he's a known enemy of the Kingpin who is the face of this tier of threat makes sense to conclude that conflict in a Sparty film teaming up with deadevil now how else can Pete be our Lynch pin for The multiversal Saga well let's take a look at the cosmic looking at the other films lined up for the MCU there's an unconfirmed sequel to The eternals the End of Time apparently in the works now these celestials are known for creating deviants and eternals on planet do you know what these deviants look like they look like symbiotes what if these celestials created them now the natural course of this movie whatever it's about can take place whatever the plot is in which the eternals defeat the celestials or at least stop their judgment but showing the sybo would seed a connection to Spidey that will play into later movies fast forward to something like King Dynasty or Secret Wars when Spidey is in space Spidey can come across the symbo which was seated in the Eternal sequel using this symbo suit to help Vanquish Kang along with the Avengers naturally Spidey won't be around for every conflict that's where Falcon's cap can lead the charge on the terrestrial front galvanizing America he can stop the Scrolls and the Vigilantes regarding them creating a Brave New World but let me quickly go back to Kang the villain of this entire Saga honestly [ __ ] this it's beyond me how Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars will play out the major situation is just a mess whether they recast or pivot to Doom is beyond me but if I were a black actor the last thing I'd want to do is fill that role there's just too much heat attached to Kang now that I doubt John Boo or John David Washington would want to be involved realistically I could see them going with doom but to come around I strongly believe through Spider-Man and other core Heroes like Falcon cap strange and Captain Marvel they'll be able to Galvanize the heroes old and new into something uniform consolidate these many stories into something with a frame something that feels planned or at least fixed intentional and cathartic for those that have invested the time to watch phase 4 and five winning back over the hearts and minds of people who have given up on the MCU I don't even blame people who have given up on the MCU I'm kind of checking out myself it's just the same [ __ ] it's often said that Marvel movies all end the same way wait who's saying that me they're just Defenders of the status quo villains seek to change the world and the hero comes in to return things to normal when the earth starts to settle God throws a stone at it every movie is the same thing there are certain things that are supposed to happen in a superhero story our heroes are reactionary and don't improve the world they inhabits with the Avengers not the pre-avengers okay right you made your point the punishment usually came after the crime and anytime there is a genuine push for social change it's cut down I see a suit of armor around the world for once we're way ahead of the curve sounds like a cold world H by holding a gun to everyone on Earth and calling it protection cat makes a great Point social change shouldn't happen at the expense of people's freedoms however you do have to admit that stumps this universe's progress how is Humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve exactly why don't we just do things Our Own Way great idea Jen I think that's why the Fantastic 4 movie is the only thing I'm actually looking forward to Reed Richards is a change to this notion Reed Richards changes the Marvel Universe he creates inventions and shares that technology with the world making Humanity a space fairing Society his adventures his stories actually push the needle forward do something to leave a lasting impact on the world not just return things to a superficial status quo you want to protect the world but you don't want it to change say what you will about Age of Ultron but it makes a lot of really good points humans are odd they think Order and Chaos are some how opposites and try to control what won't be but there is Grace in their failings when I asked my friends where they're at with Marvel I asked them what would it take to get them a casual movie goer to see a Marvel movie again to take it seriously to trust that what they're going to watch is something quality something they have faith in is going to be a good time now I got an assortment of answers to this some said good marketing and sure I think that might be part of it some said certain IPS like another Avengers movie or even an X-Men movie would get them to see a Marvel movie again which is fair enough they're trusted Brands but a majority of the answers centered around quality storytelling less revolving around world or in this case Multiverse shattering conflicts and more on the internal Stakes of our characters if we look at Ry Spider-Man movies Pete isn't fighting to save the world he's fighting to save the ones he loves at the end of the day character is all that matters we cannot get lost in plot in the largest story of it all and I think we have if we do we're just going through the motions and that's what phase four and five have felt like content not stories I think the ramifications of Secret Wars should not only just change our characters but the world they inhabit push the needle forward I want to see Marvel take bold risks like they used to with their stories with their characters not just within the universe but behind the lens too sit down and write quality stuff start to make Marvel movies from a place of love again not because you have a deadline to hit that man is playing Gallagher that was wouldn't notice but we did yo yo all right hey guys I just want to say thank
