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.
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.
I kinda hate that. The song is great but the movie has nothing to do with the song's meaning other than the title. Same as the cranberries 'Zombie' song in Zack Snyder's film Army of the Dead.
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 expect as she gets older, she will view the MCU much as middle aged people view Star Wars.
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 :)

Unfortunate that there's no mention of the Russo's contribution to the quality of phase 3, or how Infinity War is the actual less-safe movie they made. Still, great video!
Less safe? It's basically a greatest hits album... I'm no film nerd who intrinsically looks at a movies undertone minute to minute, but that's how it comes off to me. Yeah they "killed" off a bunch of fan favorites but they had to wrap it up somehow. They couldn't keep making the same movies over and over (actually they will do that but they have to have a cast change). Oh and get more and more... Ya know, woke. Anyways, I haven't seen endgame, and a few other it the movies but I still wouldn't call cramming all 15-or 20 (whatever) lead super heroes into one movie "less safe". But again what do I know?
@@thegodofalldragons I think he means comic book fans are not fans of what the mcu did with their beloved characters. Although, I don't think that's accurate.
A few days ago someone pointed out all the dutch angles in Thor and now I can unsee them! That still doesn't stop me from loving the movie, though. I really enjoy the Shakespearean camp of it!
I think part of the MCU's success that rarely ever gets talked about, is that Marvel made the choice to sacrifice overall plot quality in favour of character moments. They understood early on that people attach to characters, and that so long as they feel interested in them they won't notice that the larger universe they inhabit makes no sense. Endgame, Infinity War, Ultron, even Avengers itself, all the big ensemble entries are united by silly plots that are poorly thought through. But as stories they work because they are about a bunch of characters that people like sharing screentime together. This is perhaps where DC failed. They never defined the characters to any real degree, and insofar as they did their wrote their characters as generic. Only Wonder Woman jumps out as someone with a real sense of personality in her own movie, and this is perhaps why that movie did so well. But Batman and Superman, the two staple characters of the DCEU, haven't taken shape as characters during their representation by Affleck and Cavill. It's no surprise that these actors have departed; they probably didn't feel inspired to play these undefined nobodies either. The one movie that was marketed as being two superheroes as adversaries failed to delivery spectacularly on that very premise, and by that point the flop was complete. It's no surprise that Civil War did so well in comparison to BvS: Cap and Tony are two really defined characters with a serious disagreement to get contentious over, with a further bomb planted under their strained relationship by a ghost from their shared history. Ultimately this is why people can talk about Endgame and never mention its glaring plotholes or overall inanity of the heroes' motivations. It offers Cap and Tony reconciling in a scene that is essentially an Audi commercial. And if you're reading this and thinking "wait, an Audi commercial?" then you've proven my point. Marvel has figured out that they can put anything on screen so long as it's in a shared space with it's soap opera inspired cast. It's not a revolutionary idea. Soap operas have run on this concept for years. It's just that before this, nobody has ever done it on this scale. Nor with this level of cheer, positivity, and optimism.
If you think Marvel invented product placement in film, then you need to watch more movies. Like Mac and Me. Or the scene from Beverly Hills Cop where they pull over a van full of stolen Lucky Strikes.
BvS wasn't actually a flop though. Although it failed critically it was still a commercially successful film. Furthermore, those movies that you listed don't actually work as stories. What happened is that Marvel became that salesman who could sell you your own mother's soul. Additionally, ignore Aquaman and Shazam does you no favors.
When you think about it, it's less hours than Game of Thrones has made in that time. It's serialised films, just like the old shorts like the black and white Flash Gordon.
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.
Let's be honest, a lot are connected because Sam Jackson shows up at the end for a minute or Thanos has a two minute scene or my least favourite, one of the 6 stones shows up.
Two points: 1)One underlying theme I keep seeing in MCU films is the decline and fall of American hegemony, which ties in with the question of power mentioned above. You see this with Asgard, Xandar and even Earth in the wake of these events. 2) It's Fi-Gee!
@@handsomebrick Nah, that's too overt. Recalling what Feige said about how we all dial into our times when creating fiction, it was likely more subconscious.
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.
I really love seeing your opinions on this. I am a huge fan for a long time. Every moment means something to me. But I’ve known how you feel about these films and the universe as a whole. Love you man. Great work as always.
Indeed, she's an unsung hero in this saga. Some actors have more raw talent than others. But to consistently nail the right choices for each character is no mean feat.

In 2014 I saw a Marvel movie for the first time. The second Captain America movie, and to be honest I really didn't like it much. But still I was intrigued, and after watching Guardians of the Galaxy I decided to watch them all and amazingly, over 22 movies after it kept getting better and better.
And then executives at Warner Bros. saw this long, careful roll-out and said "Hurry up and get us our own Avengers movie but with DC characters!" And that worked out swimmingly.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Yeah it was the opposite reaction to Marvel. Man Of Steel was supposed to be followed by Man Of Steel 2. But then DC said add Batman. Like Marvel bringing in Captain America to Iron Man 2.

Thanks, Georg. I just went through a 3 week marathon of watching all these so I could properly see Endgame with all the massive amount of context and this was a great way to wrap it all up. 👍
I'm 50/50 with your statement about the marval films, true it is run by people that wants to appeal to the masses in a safe and marketble way, however in a personal view I only see this as a lukewarm formulaic structure, appealing to everyone by ignoring the Marvel lore or lest watering it down. 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.
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.
Lmao holy shit 25:24 the emperor impersonation was spot on! Literally the same voice I use to do the same impersonation. Shit had me dying! But jokes aside this was a rather astute set of m observations on their motivations from the start
There was a time when I would have been angry at the assessment that "Marvel-Endgame" wasn't a good movie. Now I would begrudgingly admit that it was PART of a good movie the way that the "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" franchises were fragments of a good movie. Perhaps "story" would be a better description. The story that started in the first Iron Man film literally ended in Endgame.
@@DavidTSmith-jn5bs I look on Endgame as a season finale, not a standalone movie and never meant to be. It's the final coda of the world's longest running "first season" and acts accordingly.
Love that the guy is doing what he loves: making a movie that will most definitely include a mythic lava lamp. We'll be patient and in the meantime... Let's just watch them all again.

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.
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.
I didn't grow up with the marvel characters because I was a hardcore DC comics fan, but I still really connected with the marvel movies. Maybe it's easier to translate those feelings because I loved comics and superheroes in general, but I think it's the strength of the films and the actors that make the mcu special. Iron man and black widow were never that interesting on the page, their movie versions have far more personality. I didn't care much reading infinity gauntlet because I didn't care much about the universe at stake, but I cried in both infinity war and more at endgame and I'm not ashamed to admit it because I loved this universe. I like to let art make me feel things. I hope DC is able to build to something similar one day like Crisis on Infinite Earthd but there's not much hope right now. Marvel owns this day, nuff said.
Closest they're getting to Crisis is next year's Arrowverse crossover. And how sad is it that a cluster of TV shows on a tighter budget get it more right than the movies associated with DC up until this year?
Yes, the MCU grew its franchise slowly piece by piece. That’s good but one reason it could do that is because for the wider audience these Marvel characters were new/fresh. That’s compared with DC which had been making big movies since 1978. It makes sense that Aquaman, relatively unknown, is the biggest DC box office film in the DCEU.
Correct...Feige turned the relative unknown status of most MCU characters into a strength that way. No prior knowledge of the characters gave the filmmakers the chance to write a "second draft" of them for general audiences, I like to say. It's also what helped make TV's Arrowverse a success on CW. As to WB making films about DC characters since 1978, that's factually correct but overlooks one key aspect...who they made most of their films. With very few exceptions (such as embarrassments like Steel), it's almost always been Superman and Batman. That well had to run dry sometime.
That organic growth was SO key to getting a universe working. Universal's Dark Universe could have been great, but The Mummy just presumed the audience would show up. They just didn't put the work in.
Miss you bud. I do think that the value of captain america with both the first and second really helped shore up the aufience support for the idea of the franchise.
Sony part owns Spider-Man, they had the chance to buy the rights to almost every Marvel character back in 98, but thought that, "Nobody gives a shit about the other Marvel characters."
I wonder now how much they regret that decision. I sometimes think people, especially the diehard comic nerds, forget how little ANYBODY cared about Marvel characters not named X-Men, Hulk or Spiderman before Iron Man 1. It took a decade, 22 films and over 20 billion dollars to make them care.
Given that they drove Spider-Man into the ground and almost destroyed its value entirely, if they had bought the rights the likely outcome would have been that the IP would have been worthless.
Love your channel dude. Keep the lava lamp please, some of us have been eating LSD daily since COVID-19 hit, and we need all the stimulation we can get!
Love that the lava lamp's back again. Wicked tribute to such an awesome and well thought out series. All the way from Iron Man up until now you can tell there's been so much care and proper thought that's gone into all of these films. I haven't seen End Game yet but I want to watch Ant Man and the Wasp, Doctor Strange and maybe Black Panther before it. Venom 2 I absolutely can't wait for though.
fig is Paul fieg, sorry, the grammar during it drove me nuts, it does not affect at all how great you are as a youtuber, person, in my top 5 must watch when they put out a new vid :-)

My Mrs says you look like ming the merciless. .. Halloween video outfit perhaps. I've been binging on your content and it's great... Thank you
Nicely summed up. Sadly enough, if the movie business has shown anything, it is that the studios are not willing to spend time, they want it all now or preferably yesterday. Of course, there are exceptions, like John Wick series, which has gotten steadily stronger in BO. There aren't many studios which would have let it brew in peace.
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.
Great analysis. So refreshing to hear a reviewer say "I don't think it's great, but Marvel shouldn't care because..." when so much of YT is full of whiny fanboys and girls "Wot they do my movie? I hates them cos it garbage!!!!!" etc. Kevin had the correct and brave (for the time) stance of trusting his creatives and allowing the franchise to evolve organically. It's certainly paid off!!
I think the wine metaphor at the end absolutely nails it. You can't just "make films for profit" and have them be THIS successful both financially and culturally. Thought and effort has to be put into those films. It's the reason why DC's cinematic universe was never going to work: they didn't want to put the effort and patience into building things like Marvel has. What Marvel has done and how they've brought comic book storytelling and world building to movies and the general population is, in some way, an art form.
About 25 minutes in you said the most important word in your essay, "sincere". Marvel has always felt sincere whether the movie was good, great, or exceptional.
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".
In a previous video Georg mentioned that Valiant Comics movies might not have the same weight do to lack of foreknowledge from casual viewers. However, comic book movies have always existed and have been moderate, if not disposable, successes financially. Red II was made because the first film was a moderate hit. If other studios make comic book movies then they need to set them up as the groundwork and not as tentpoles.
After watching The Winter Soldier, I went back to watch The First Avenger (which I hadn't really liked) and really came to appreciate it. The Winter Soldier was such a good movie that it makes the move before it, better
Thor is by far my favorite MCU character/series since the first movie came out, but it was so dorky-looking I skipped it in theaters, and only saw it from Redbox.
I agree with you. Endgame isn't a great movie. It's a good movie and really fun to watch, but it isn't a fabulous movie. One of its main downfalls is that it isn't in any way original. Far from it in fact. It's a very well disguised ripoff of the last Star Trek Voyager episode entitled, yep, you guessed it, "Endgame"! Yep, not only is the title the same but also a lot of the plot points. If it wasn't for that it would be a lot nearer being superb, but not quite. I still don't like the forced feminism that was rammed down my throat in the movie. Marvel wise, I still say the original Iron-Man is the best movie of the lot, followed by Captain America The First Avenger.
It's good to see you again, lava lamp, my old friend.

Unfortunate that there's no mention of the Russo's contribution to the quality of phase 3, or how Infinity War is the actual less-safe movie they made.
Still, great video!
Less safe? It's basically a greatest hits album... I'm no film nerd who intrinsically looks at a movies undertone minute to minute, but that's how it comes off to me. Yeah they "killed" off a bunch of fan favorites but they had to wrap it up somehow. They couldn't keep making the same movies over and over (actually they will do that but they have to have a cast change). Oh and get more and more... Ya know, woke. Anyways, I haven't seen endgame, and a few other it the movies but I still wouldn't call cramming all 15-or 20 (whatever) lead super heroes into one movie "less safe". But again what do I know?
why? Winter Soldier was good, Civil War was meh, Infinity War pretty good but flawed, and Endgame is absolute shit
it is always a treat when you release something
Brilliant editing man. You're videos and commentaries are always a treat
For a non-fan, you've got some pretty good insight.
mcu fans are not fans
@@CabezasDePescado They're not fans of... what, exactly? I'm confused.
@@thegodofalldragons I think he means comic book fans are not fans of what the mcu did with their beloved characters.
Although, I don't think that's accurate.
A few days ago someone pointed out all the dutch angles in Thor and now I can unsee them! That still doesn't stop me from loving the movie, though. I really enjoy the Shakespearean camp of it!
I think part of the MCU's success that rarely ever gets talked about, is that Marvel made the choice to sacrifice overall plot quality in favour of character moments. They understood early on that people attach to characters, and that so long as they feel interested in them they won't notice that the larger universe they inhabit makes no sense. Endgame, Infinity War, Ultron, even Avengers itself, all the big ensemble entries are united by silly plots that are poorly thought through. But as stories they work because they are about a bunch of characters that people like sharing screentime together.
This is perhaps where DC failed. They never defined the characters to any real degree, and insofar as they did their wrote their characters as generic. Only Wonder Woman jumps out as someone with a real sense of personality in her own movie, and this is perhaps why that movie did so well. But Batman and Superman, the two staple characters of the DCEU, haven't taken shape as characters during their representation by Affleck and Cavill. It's no surprise that these actors have departed; they probably didn't feel inspired to play these undefined nobodies either. The one movie that was marketed as being two superheroes as adversaries failed to delivery spectacularly on that very premise, and by that point the flop was complete. It's no surprise that Civil War did so well in comparison to BvS: Cap and Tony are two really defined characters with a serious disagreement to get contentious over, with a further bomb planted under their strained relationship by a ghost from their shared history.
Ultimately this is why people can talk about Endgame and never mention its glaring plotholes or overall inanity of the heroes' motivations. It offers Cap and Tony reconciling in a scene that is essentially an Audi commercial. And if you're reading this and thinking "wait, an Audi commercial?" then you've proven my point. Marvel has figured out that they can put anything on screen so long as it's in a shared space with it's soap opera inspired cast.
It's not a revolutionary idea. Soap operas have run on this concept for years. It's just that before this, nobody has ever done it on this scale. Nor with this level of cheer, positivity, and optimism.
If you think Marvel invented product placement in film, then you need to watch more movies.
Like Mac and Me. Or the scene from Beverly Hills Cop where they pull over a van full of stolen Lucky Strikes.
@@plkrtn
Yeah, or the Transformer movies..... Wait, no, don't watch those....
@@plkrtn I don't think Marvel invented product placement.
BvS wasn't actually a flop though. Although it failed critically it was still a commercially successful film. Furthermore, those movies that you listed don't actually work as stories. What happened is that Marvel became that salesman who could sell you your own mother's soul. Additionally, ignore Aquaman and Shazam does you no favors.
@@SQTOS They aren't that bad. Besides, did you forget that one of them is Bumblebee?
23:00 Thank you for expressing my feelings about this movie far better than I could've done it myself!
I still can't believe they managed to connect 22 movies in 10 years.
When you think about it, it's less hours than Game of Thrones has made in that time.
It's serialised films, just like the old shorts like the black and white Flash Gordon.
X-Men franchise had the chance to be that in the 2000s. But they blew it not once but twice.
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.
@EAT THIS YOU GRAVY SUCKING DOG I disagree.
Let's be honest, a lot are connected because Sam Jackson shows up at the end for a minute or Thanos has a two minute scene or my least favourite, one of the 6 stones shows up.
could you do a video on the John Wick trilogy?
Was John Wick a movie? I thought I was watching a Twitch stream.
Peter Herron Allow me to write a synopsis of them for you. Man sad, man angry, man energetically displays anger, man sad.
"Iron Man 2 wasn't trying to set up The Avengers." It literally had a scene where Nick Fury asked him to be an Avenger.
I think he meant that the overall plot wasn't connected to the avengers movie.
Two points:
1)One underlying theme I keep seeing in MCU films is the decline and fall of American hegemony, which ties in with the question of power mentioned above. You see this with Asgard, Xandar and even Earth in the wake of these events.
2) It's Fi-Gee!
Maybe Kevin is a fan of Oswald Spengler.
@@handsomebrick Who?
@@johnathonhaney8291 Writer of Decline of the West.
@@handsomebrick Nah, that's too overt. Recalling what Feige said about how we all dial into our times when creating fiction, it was likely more subconscious.
Did you ever think that maybe you're wrong on that American hegemony thing?
They got increasingly mediocre.

Off topic, where did you get that shirt? I dunno I like the green and the design. Just curious, great video by the way.
its a generic military style shirt you can easily get them on ebay in an assortment of colours from khaki, beige, black, white or grey
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.
Unless he's drowned out by praise.

Georg is one of a very , very few ( maybe THE only one) social media content providers who actually provides content that is thoughtful, interesting, comprehensive, well researched, and entertaining. And as a bonus, usually coincides with my own views and analysis on the various topics he covers. He sees things the way they are, not the way they're spun. It's reassuring to know there still is at least one fair minded, non-partisan, level headed cynic out there who is not afraid to call 'em as I see 'em! Keep up the good work !Georg! Great video, even though it's subject is non controversial and less polarizing than many of the previous yids. Still a lot of fun!
Great work as always! Loving the length of this video! Also Feige is pronounced ‘Fi-Ghee’, took me a while to get that right myself. 😅
Well... I'm a girth of the subjects guy myself, but ok, I see your point
Yeh, that's what I thought; "Figgy"
There's some other guy called Paul Feig.
In 2014 I saw a Marvel movie for the first time. The second Captain America movie, and to be honest I really didn't like it much. But still I was intrigued, and after watching Guardians of the Galaxy I decided to watch them all and amazingly, over 22 movies after it kept getting better and better.
My 60ish, non-geek mother's first one was Doctor Strange and she was hooked after that.
It's almost like having a person managing a franchise that cares about the franchise and doesn't want to troll it is a good thing, lol
And that person is still there now that the naysayers say it's all over. Unless that changes, I doubt the ride's over yet.
And then executives at Warner Bros. saw this long, careful roll-out and said "Hurry up and get us our own Avengers movie but with DC characters!" And that worked out swimmingly.
I still remember my first reaction to the announcement of BvS: "Too fast, too fast, too fast." Time sadly has proven me right.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Yeah it was the opposite reaction to Marvel. Man Of Steel was supposed to be followed by Man Of Steel 2. But then DC said add Batman. Like Marvel bringing in Captain America to Iron Man 2.

Edit: Dan Chadle
@EAT THIS YOU GRAVY SUCKING DOG oh I see what you mean now... Eh.. Its not their story... They climbed aboard a train that had been running for awhile.. I'd say it wasn't the project to try to wrest more creative control of, just enjoy the ride. It's a popcorn movie, you know? The whole franchise is cookie cutter. And no one may give a damn, but he played the role well.
Once someone points out the amount of Dutch angles in Thor its impossible to not notice

Thanks, Georg. I just went through a 3 week marathon of watching all these so I could properly see Endgame with all the massive amount of context and this was a great way to wrap it all up. 👍
I'm 50/50 with your statement about the marval films, true it is run by people that wants to appeal to the masses in a safe and marketble way, however in a personal view I only see this as a lukewarm formulaic structure, appealing to everyone by ignoring the Marvel lore or lest watering it down.
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.
Good video. I am surprised that you you didn't bring up Winter Soldier as a turning point to the Marvel movies.
yeh I was surprised he didnt mention that too
Haha. These subtitles are hilarious 3:39 "Michael Chiklis"!
Netflix mcu is great.
Love Daredevil.
Way better than the theatrical offerings.
Thanks for making this video Georg.
Casting, Concept, and Consistency. That's what makes the Marvel movies work.
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.
Lmao holy shit 25:24 the emperor impersonation was spot on! Literally the same voice I use to do the same impersonation. Shit had me dying!
But jokes aside this was a rather astute set of m observations on their motivations from the start
Well, I do think Endgame is a good movie.
thats nice
Why
There was a time when I would have been angry at the assessment that "Marvel-Endgame" wasn't a good movie. Now I would begrudgingly admit that it was PART of a good movie the way that the "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" franchises were fragments of a good movie. Perhaps "story" would be a better description. The story that started in the first Iron Man film literally ended in Endgame.
@@DavidTSmith-jn5bs I look on Endgame as a season finale, not a standalone movie and never meant to be. It's the final coda of the world's longest running "first season" and acts accordingly.
That's why I changed the label from "movie" to "story." If you want to label them as a "season," that works too.
Love that the guy is doing what he loves: making a movie that will most definitely include a mythic lava lamp. We'll be patient and in the meantime... Let's just watch them all again.
I absolutely hate superhero movies but when Georg uploads, I watch. Cheers!

Really hoping to see you back soon, Georg
Love the break at 1:38 where georg uses “for a few dollars more” to introduce financing.
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.
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.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Thank you.
I didn't grow up with the marvel characters because I was a hardcore DC comics fan, but I still really connected with the marvel movies. Maybe it's easier to translate those feelings because I loved comics and superheroes in general, but I think it's the strength of the films and the actors that make the mcu special. Iron man and black widow were never that interesting on the page, their movie versions have far more personality. I didn't care much reading infinity gauntlet because I didn't care much about the universe at stake, but I cried in both infinity war and more at endgame and I'm not ashamed to admit it because I loved this universe. I like to let art make me feel things. I hope DC is able to build to something similar one day like Crisis on Infinite Earthd but there's not much hope right now. Marvel owns this day, nuff said.
Closest they're getting to Crisis is next year's Arrowverse crossover. And how sad is it that a cluster of TV shows on a tighter budget get it more right than the movies associated with DC up until this year?
Endgame was a stale, creatively bankrupt, three-hour atrocity. I think Marvel movies are headed the same way as Star Wars now.
I think you take film criticism way too seriously and think wordy sentences such as yours are worth a damn.
Yes, the MCU grew its franchise slowly piece by piece. That’s good but one reason it could do that is because for the wider audience these Marvel characters were new/fresh. That’s compared with DC which had been making big movies since 1978. It makes sense that Aquaman, relatively unknown, is the biggest DC box office film in the DCEU.
Correct...Feige turned the relative unknown status of most MCU characters into a strength that way. No prior knowledge of the characters gave the filmmakers the chance to write a "second draft" of them for general audiences, I like to say. It's also what helped make TV's Arrowverse a success on CW.
As to WB making films about DC characters since 1978, that's factually correct but overlooks one key aspect...who they made most of their films. With very few exceptions (such as embarrassments like Steel), it's almost always been Superman and Batman. That well had to run dry sometime.
That organic growth was SO key to getting a universe working. Universal's Dark Universe could have been great, but The Mummy just presumed the audience would show up. They just didn't put the work in.
WB made the same mistake with DCEU. That's why Aquaman and Shazam are heralding the return to strictly solo films.

I wonder now how much they regret that decision. I sometimes think people, especially the diehard comic nerds, forget how little ANYBODY cared about Marvel characters not named X-Men, Hulk or Spiderman before Iron Man 1. It took a decade, 22 films and over 20 billion dollars to make them care.

Comics were still pretty popular in the 80s and early 90s.
@@adamrolston526 Bah, speculator bubble driven, that. When said bubble popped in the late 1990s, all that faded back into the background.
Given that they drove Spider-Man into the ground and almost destroyed its value entirely, if they had bought the rights the likely outcome would have been that the IP would have been worthless.
The MCU never would have happened if Sony had the rights.

Nicely summed up. Sadly enough, if the movie business has shown anything, it is that the studios are not willing to spend time, they want it all now or preferably yesterday. Of course, there are exceptions, like John Wick series, which has gotten steadily stronger in BO. There aren't many studios which would have let it brew in peace.
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.
Great analysis. So refreshing to hear a reviewer say "I don't think it's great, but Marvel shouldn't care because..." when so much of YT is full of whiny fanboys and girls "Wot they do my movie? I hates them cos it garbage!!!!!" etc.
Kevin had the correct and brave (for the time) stance of trusting his creatives and allowing the franchise to evolve organically. It's certainly paid off!!
I think the wine metaphor at the end absolutely nails it. You can't just "make films for profit" and have them be THIS successful both financially and culturally. Thought and effort has to be put into those films. It's the reason why DC's cinematic universe was never going to work: they didn't want to put the effort and patience into building things like Marvel has. What Marvel has done and how they've brought comic book storytelling and world building to movies and the general population is, in some way, an art form.
2:41 early days Stan Lee cameo.
About 25 minutes in you said the most important word in your essay, "sincere". Marvel has always felt sincere whether the movie was good, great, or exceptional.
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".
At last.... someone who acknowledges Blade. :)
Why have you stopped publishing videos? I hope everything is okay.
I am actually worried about him.
In a previous video Georg mentioned that Valiant Comics movies might not have the same weight do to lack of foreknowledge from casual viewers. However, comic book movies have always existed and have been moderate, if not disposable, successes financially. Red II was made because the first film was a moderate hit. If other studios make comic book movies then they need to set them up as the groundwork and not as tentpoles.
After watching The Winter Soldier, I went back to watch The First Avenger (which I hadn't really liked) and really came to appreciate it. The Winter Soldier was such a good movie that it makes the move before it, better
Thor is by far my favorite MCU character/series since the first movie came out, but it was so dorky-looking I skipped it in theaters, and only saw it from Redbox.

I do appropriate the Morricone music drop from on his lesser know pieces.
The first chapter's intro music comes from For a Few Dollars More. Nice touch.
I agree with you. Endgame isn't a great movie. It's a good movie and really fun to watch, but it isn't a fabulous movie. One of its main downfalls is that it isn't in any way original. Far from it in fact. It's a very well disguised ripoff of the last Star Trek Voyager episode entitled, yep, you guessed it, "Endgame"! Yep, not only is the title the same but also a lot of the plot points. If it wasn't for that it would be a lot nearer being superb, but not quite. I still don't like the forced feminism that was rammed down my throat in the movie. Marvel wise, I still say the original Iron-Man is the best movie of the lot, followed by Captain America The First Avenger.
This needs more views.
