These guys are the single reason why Marvel’s Phase 3 and Infinity Saga was as good as it was. All 4 of their movies are arguably Marvel’s best and Feigi couldn’t have done all of that without them.
Also, credit to him for knowing this as well, and bringing them in.
Give credit to the writers too Christopher Markus and Stephen Mcfeely ✊
Favreau.
Without them, Marvel would be a bust
Agreed
Winter Soldier is still one of the best movies Marvel has made and will forever be a top 5 for me in terms of the MCU. The spy thriller aspect was so well done
all the best scenes were done in community first... ua-cam.com/video/NmpFR5tjQtg/v-deo.html
I'm with you but it's not just top 5 for me, it's #1. Civil War is very well done but Winter Soldier is the best movie in the MCU for me and I think it will be hard to beat. Great comment.
I thought winter soldier is the best mcu film ever made. It's perfectly paced and completely stands on its own as a self-contained plot.
"spy thriller" people always use this to describe it when ultimately it's just a generic superhero action flick
It's actually One of the best superhero sequel ever made. Ticked off all the right boxes.
Without Community, it’s clear that the Russo’s may never have entered the MCU! Community was a Nexus event.
MCU currently is filled with Community alumni.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
The Russos have truly made the best thing of Captain America become much more badass and more grounded as a character. And they have have Infinity War and Endgame as the gifted shattering blockbuster films of all time.
These two men have introduced the common wealth In finances to multiple creative actors that had needed a pathway towards great success
I love that GQ is doing these break downs with directors and producers.
Ikr this is an absolutely miscellaneous job they’re doing
@@elijah.j3288 why did you use miscellaneous there just curious
Arrested Development, Community, Winter Soldier, Infinity War is an insane resume of pure quality
they're all hideously visually ugly
And endgame
Community is the best tv show ever created… some say it was streets ahead
W
If you don’t get that, you’re streets behind.
arrested development >>>>
No such thing as bad press!
i need a bagel
The Infinity Saga is something I'm not sure I can ever expect to experience again. What a ride. And I have these two to thank along with the thousands of others involved in making those movies.
I can feel that the Phase 4 movies didn't have the same care that these 2 directors put into their phase 3 movies.
Avengers Infinity War/Endgame were as close to the perfect Marvel cinematic experience as we could ever expect to see. Bravo, sirs!
endgame was terrible
@@HappyBob701 na it was great
Endgame is a masterpiece and is the best comic book based film ever made.
This is *precisely because* of the things you hate.
Which is often true of the best works of art by the way.
@@abdulsameeh_666 : Correct.
@@summertyme5748 maybe if youre like 5 kid
these guys completed my childhood and allowed for me to ascend into a man child
The Russo Brothers' Marvel films are among the best in the MCU. Winter Soldier alone is probably the best Marvel film, if not tied with Infinity War.
Given how quickly people get angry when they don't get what they wanted, it's a testament to these guys for doing such a good job with Winter Soldier, Civil War, IW and Endgame that those movies are iconic as they are while also satisfying most of the audience in their Phase 3 conclusion.
All there films are in my top 8 mcu films
@@marko9463 I used to think that. Now - I think they are the best 4.
If you're a Hulk that delivered nothing but disappointment. Worst directors ever for that character.
I’m so happy they talked about community and arrested development
It’s become popular to hate on the Russo Brothers, but they are a large part of why we have two of the greatest sitcoms of all time and 4 of the best superhero movies. No matter what they do next, they’ve already left their mark in such huge ways
This should read “The Russo Brothers Break Down how they miraculously both launched the ship and stuck the landing”
Winter Soldier is still my favorite even after all the Marvel movies solely bc the story and the cinematography was so sophisticated and well done with the narrative they were building at the time. It really set a lot in motion and set the tone for how you could tell a comic book superhero story without being too tacky imo. You really became more and more immersed in the MCU which made each movie following more special to experience and help piece together different theories. Really well done
"You can't have an actor get sucked out of a plane at 10,000 feet while it is exploding
Tom Cruise: "Challenge accepted"
The original Iron Man will always have a special place in my heart
Infinity War was a masterpiece. End game was kind of locked into an ending, Infinity War was the Empire Strikes Back of the MCU.
Endgame is better than any of the Star Wars films. It's more subversive than Infinity War.
Infinity War is the story where the bad guy wins.
Endgame is the film that asks the questions: What do the super heroes do once they've lost. What is a hero even?
The film is intellectually on a level that some (not all) fans just can't reach.
I'm talking about Beavis and Butthead who just want Hulk to have a rematch and smash something.
^ They want Thor to have a body like a comic book character and not one *like they have.* lol.
Best move Fiege made was replacing Whedon after Age of Ultron with the Russo brothers. They treated the characters with much more respect.
This was a historical event. Think about it.
The Russo's absolutely rocked Winter Soldier and Civil War.
So - Feige chose them for Avengers 3.
Meanwhile Snyder shat himself all over DCU. He got fired.
Whedon saw his chance for revenge against Feige - he would direct Justice League for Snyder and beat Marvel at their own game.
But Whedon couldn't fix Justice League....
Then the Russo's blew the roof off with Infinity War and Endgame - two of the best films made in the last 10 years - period.
Now Whedon and Snyder are both finished......snapped away as it were.
How ironic.
@@summertyme5748 DCEU is all over the place now. Terrible
All I know back in 2015 was that Joss Whedon was “very doubtful” about making another Avengers movie especially it was parts 1 & 2 at that time because he couldn’t handle the pressure due to the bigger production scope than Age of Ultron and the first Avengers movie.
Depends which characters we are talking about. Hulk and Hawkeye are much more interesting in the first two Avengers movies than infinity war and Endgame.
At one point, their 4 MCU movies were my top 4 favorite movies of all time. I can’t even put into words how much I love them.
Why was avengers End game so successful? They just told you. They approached the movie as fans not as filmakers. to the directors and artists who say they don’t like these type of movies, you are not what the fans want
doing exactly what the fans want would not produce a good movie imo
Then the Russos are not what Hulk fans want or need. The Russo Brothers definitely approach the Hulk character as fans, they obviously hated the character and rather than just make the movie with him in it, they decided to completely ruin him. They were terrible directors for that character.
@@jamesdavidson795🤓
I love these guys. They made 4 of the 5 best MCU flicks (With NWH). I hope they come back to the MCU for aleast Avengers 5.
Props to the edit team for making such a well put video
Marvel Phase 4 desperately needs some directors with a vision like these 2
It’s too late. And they never learned the lesson. Cap America and the Avengers movies became so much better bc there was real risk and the story was taken seriously. Now everything has no risks and is just light and jokey - exactly what they had changed.
@@Davidsworldtravels Or they’re simply building up to seriousness. A lot of Phase 4 has serious moments, idk why everyone’s suddenly blinded by humor now when it’s not as much as people claim. Phase 4 is simply building up to major events.
@@Davidsworldtravels agreed, perfectly summed it up
@@SpiderManMCUniverse agreed. People, including me, were comparing Phase 4 to Phase 3, but we really should think about it more like Phase 1. It's completely rebuilding a whole new arc. When MCU first started back in 2008 with the first Iron Man, we didn't know what it would amount to. Sure, Iron Man is Iron Man, but idk I'm just trusting that Feige has the vision of where it's going. He hasn't let us down yet.
@@SpiderManMCUniverse big facts!!
Biggest career turn ever. My Dad rented Welcome To Collinwood back when there was blockbuster video. My mom watched half of it and said "you rent the worst movies."
Years later they directed the 2nd highest grossing movie ever
I appreciate the effort they made in marvel. It showed how much they cared about the stories on screen.
Loved what they did for the MCU movies, end game and captain America 3 civil war are my favorites
infinity war is way better than all of those movies dipshit
I hope they will direct more future MCU movies. I enjoy all their MCU movies greatly.
Arrested Development is their greatest achievement
Community episode about the blanket fort is one of the best things on TV.
Marvel is definitely bringing them back for Secret Wars, they gave marvel 2 of the highest grossing movies of all time.
not just that. some of the most iconic moments in the history of film making. the death of tony stark, the ending of a 12 year storyline, that was never done before.
@@kieranwatt1937 omg touch grass
@@nectarinedreams7208 said the idiot with no backup claim
I like how they respect each other's time with story telling and don't jump on each other when the other is speaking
Infinity War and Endgame are two of my favorite flicks of all time. Magnificent blend of action, sci-fi, fantasy, humor, and more action. Even some dramatic moments. True masterpieces which transcend the "superhero film" genre.
Agree.
Lmao get real
@@nectarinedreams7208 tell a better superhero movie than?
6 Seasons and a Movie!!!😁
They got to be directing. They were one of the beating hearts of Community
Infinity war/End game will forever be in my top 5 best superhero movies of all time
The Russo Brothers are amazing, the Marvel movies they have made so far have been masterpieces, excited to see future projects they do 👏
I want a Secret Wars Trilogy directed by the Russo Brothers
They have said that it is a dream project of theirs, but nothing is in the cards as of yet.
@@MMZERO9 Avengers secret wars has been announced this week 😀
Hmmm
I've never been in a room with a sibling where we haven't talked over eachother or interrupted ect these guys have a lot of respect for what the other has to say
The drop in quality since they stopped doing the MCU is staggering. Kevin fiege might see the whole vision but these guys execute it perfectly
Exactly. Some people think these films are easy to do, or the fans just gobble up garbage no matter what, but they are wrong.
Still wish they did more with Hulk
Waiting for a Ruffalo hulk origin story. Get it right this time yknow?
You do realize that is up to Kevin fiege and the writers. The directors do the most with what they have.
@@notZae Walt Disney co
They could’ve made the hulk great again
"I know we got stuff that we never could have fathomed as kids, but I want more" There, I fixed your sentence. That's what you're really saying.
The fact that cap held stormbreaker for a brief moment like literally so many iconic moments
I really miss the russo brothers directing these movies, phase 4 just hasn't hit the same 😪
I like Russo's ideas in MCU .. The action & cinematic are fantastic, the serious tone was there which attract more mature audience
I really think that’s the key to their success is just being actual fans of the things they are working on.
Except the Hulk, they were definitely not fans of the Hulk and boy did it show.
Ever since the Russo’s finished their run at Marvel, the MCU Has been in a downward spiral
Love the Russo bro’s and what the did to revive the MCU, outright legends in the genre of live action film
Avengers Endgame is my single most awesome moments I've experienced in my life.❤️
Last night saw these guys at the premiere of The gray man in TCL Chinese theater hollywood. They are soo good. 👏
So the movie was good? I’m worried it is too much of a corny movie but idk
Feige should've definitely brought them back for F&TWS and the upcoming Captain America 4, they know how to fashion great MCU movies.
Every MCU movie they did was just flawless. 💛
I could watch a 4 movie Marathon of Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame - right now.
One of the most important reasons why phase 3&4 were the best phase till date according to me cheers guys u did made fans cry too.....
BRING THEM BACK TO MCU!!!
Russo Brothers made the best MCU movies.. Captain America Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame……
Nobody can’t argue here
Endgame is a masterpiece. It's more fun to think about and discuss than all the other MCU films combined.
Owen Wilson busting out the best man patch at the end of you me dupreee is one of their best movie moments
i didn’t even know they did winter solider, they legit did 4 of the best MCU films
Man, I really want them to direct a Wolverine movie.
The Infinity Saga would not be what it is today without their input. True lovers of the comics and it shows!
Rip Chadwick Boseman and everyone who passed away sending prayers and condolences to their families and friends Thankyou for showing us this sending prayers to you and your family and everyone GOD bless you and your family and everyone
Im pretty sad that their movie „Cherry“ wasn’t that big of a success, even tho it was a amazing movie. Would be pretty interesting to hear that breakdown.
It’s like the black sheep of their filmography and it doesn’t deserve to be viewed that way at all… even Civil War is far less interesting
It was quite awful
@@MusicMan75636 how so? Never saw it
@@lordfourth8255 it’s a disjointed film with tonal inconsistencies but it’s certainly not awful… they could have done much more though. It paints a strangely dreamy quaint picture of what it’s like to have no purpose growing up and how that both informs and encourages the pitfalls of addiction, specifically opiates.
@@lordfourth8255 the tone and timing is so disjointed it’s laughable
I love these two so much, they are so talented. Their works are worth rewatching for tens of times.
They need to hurry up and make the Community Movie!!!
#SixSeasonsAndAMovie
Amen to tat my friend
Yep, Community is the only noteworthy project they've ever been a part of ;)
That hair piece is like the 3rd Russo brother... its ICONIC.
Winter Soldier is an incredibly well constructed film. Secret government organization + super hero intrigue, amazingly staged action scenes, perfect performances. You show Winter Soldier to people who claim to have no interest (and actually have no viewing history) in Marvel movies. It's a top notch action film at every level.
Top 5 comics movie of last 2 decades.
This was the film that made me a true MCU fan. Always been a fan of comic books and the characters throughout the different mediums, but pre Winter Soldier, I thought the films were average. This film made Captain America cool.
Thank you Russos! You’ve given us something to cherish for generations.
I saw Welcome to Collingwood at the cinema. Very good it was too! I thought it was a bigger success than that.
i hope one day they make a short animated for love death and robot, and go nuts~ this talk shows their behind the scene skill and great director and bring new cool stuff on screen
Yes bring on more writers and directors
Please come back to the MCU. You directed all my favorite MCU movies.
Rumor has it they’ll be coming back to direct secret wars
I want to get into film as a Director/Producer & I've always dreamed of being on this breaking down the films I've written/directed/produced.
The brother on the right look like a combination of Harold Ramis and Robert Zemeckis. Can't unsee it.
thank you russos for giving us phase 3 of the mcu, you tied up everything very nicely
Anthony looks like Tom Holland's future self.
As a hopeful writer, I need Markus & Mcfeely breakdown the writing process of their movies
Whoever came up with this idea for GQ is a genius
Wow the video has been out 2 minutes and everyone saying it was a great video 😂😂 the video is over 20 minutes no ? 😂😂
That's Marvel stans for ya
These guys worked on Community AND Arrested Development? They're legendary
OMG, I loved Arrested Development, seeing it mentioned here makes me wanna go and make myself a mayonegg
Winter Soldier has remained my favourite marvel movie since I saw it in cinemas, brilliant movie, incredible directors
Arrested Development pre reboot, the best
Did anyone else think that was Ryan Styles for a second there in Man Bites Dog?
They are Fantastic Directors
also Extraction is one of the best action movies I have seen, and really excited for the sequel
Hope the Russo's return to the MCU in the future
They'll direct the avengers 5: secret wars movie
Extraction isn't directed by the Russo bros
@@anutpalgogoi9741 IK, written.. Still they are involved
In my top 5 MCU films 4 directed by them. Can't wait for The Gray Man.
So,let me get this straight,the captain America movies were about Steve saving bucky,just a thought
Legends! ⚡ We will cherish your your films Russos!! 👊🏻📽
Does Tony say to Joe "Yo, nice dye job bro' !" I wonder.
Love the Community show 🔥🔥 it's amazing
If they directed Thor: Love and Thunder it would have been a better movie. They respect the characters.. Taika just went.. Thor is dumb 😑
The Russos and the Duffer brothers need to have lunch and create something crazy.
Thank you Russo brothers for making the MCU what it is and how amazing the entire storyline over a decade of films with Kevin Feigies help and mind! More Hollywood douchers need to take notes and follow yalls path. Stuck to most of the original stories as best as yall could and made some of the biggest and best movies ever created. And highest grossing at that.
You can really tell that they really give a crap about getting the plot correct and that they treat the script as king. It's really awesome to see how seriously they take their job and put alot of effort into the process.
Wish they had really give a crap about the Hulk, they ruined that character.
We’re still waiting for a Community movie!
Wow! Just totally forgetting all us Dupree-Heads!
Interesting how they left Cherry out, along with Welcome To Collingwood, and You, Me, and Dupree, but are including The Gray Man. Wonder why that is. Could be because... it hadn't been reviewed... YET.
Lloyd Hansen reminds me of Patrick Wilson
Infinity War is the best film in the MCU, along with Iron Man 2008
Thor: Ragnarok for me! 🔨
And Gaurdians of the Galaxy
Russo’s before you go back to Marvel get with Dan Harmon and do the Community movie.
How many times this interview been done I swear I seen this before
dudes are absolute legends. Created some of the best comedies of all time. DO NOT FORGET THAT! hahaha
Winter Soldier is my personal all time favorite comic book movie.
Must admit I was hoping Deadly Class would be covered.
