The Marvel From Disney had a golden opportunity to make blur and new account. The circumstances of his last films and the last year were the perfect springboard for a blur and new account. But the result has finally been the most conservative possible, and has opted for continuity and the inherited problems of the last MCU, in a film that has good box office forecasts but that is still a real hot potato for Disney.
Bad omens. 2023 ended bitterly for Disney: ‘Quantumania‘ and ‘The Marvels‘They had results at the box office, if not disastrous, of course less lucid than the entire MCU. It was corroborated that since ‘Endey me‘, Disney had not known how to wear the Marvel universe, and that had failed when continuing the legacy of the Avengers: infinitely less charismatic characters (‘Eternals‘), new deliveries of heroes who lived better times (‘Thor: Love and Thunder‘,’Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘) … phases four and five (which will end the imminent’ Thunderbolts’) have been pure wet gunpowder for Marvel.
Marvel, 2024. At that time, Marvel stopped. Last year it only premiered Sony’s Spider-Man villains films (which did not work, but that does not affect Marvel too much, although it is true that They add up to some weariness to the public not versed in the rights limits of each other characters) and ‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘, which does not belong to the MCU. And yes, it was based on the promise of “rest this year, which will come the X-Men ‘. The return has been far from a return to the great Marvel greatness:’ Captain America: Brave New World ‘.
A dazzled lap. It is difficult to list the problems of this new installment of ‘Captain America’, when there were problems from the same origin: the intervention of Harrison Ford was not planned, but the death of William Hurt (General Ross in the first Hulk film, the of Edward Norton of 2008) forced to look for a substitute. Since then, continuous rewriting and rethinking (the terrorist embodied for giancating him Esposito, for example, was intended for another actor) that have as a fruit a film full of patches and patches and Reshoots that visually, they are very noticeable (there are dialogues and more filling dialogues, very clearly shot in front of a green screen). The Marvel technique to start shooting with half writing and fixing them on the march had never settled with such a loose result.
The worst MCU movie? ‘Quantumanía’ and ‘The Marvels were irregular films, but they had indisputable moments more than salvable: in the first one was modek, the design of the quantum kingdom, the presence of Kang; In the second, the cat gag, the moment of Indian musical, the action sequences … Here the fights, for example, are among the most reluctant ever seen in the MCU, the climax with the red hulk is. .. Well, anti -limitic. And the very scarce dramatic substance and charisma of the two protagonist heroes makes long combat sequences such as the confrontation against the airplanes of the army they take without hooking the viewer.
Where it points. The referents of the MCU in which its plot base is ‘Brave New World’ is significant: a film that many do not know that it belongs to the MCU (‘The incredible Hulk’); the first Marvel box office failure (‘Eternals’); And one of the worst series of the company (‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘, which despite its unattractive, has some combat sequences that would already want’ Brave New World ‘). Significantly unattractive precedents for a film whose greatest sin is its very scarce sense of risk.
Little risk. Among all the decisions that Marvel could have made, opt for continuism, to resume semi -pidered plot lines and for resorting to an aesthetic and plot springs that already begin to sound expired was the least risky. They could have made a real blur and new account, taking into account that the multiverse provided it on a tray, but no: The year that Robert Downey Jr. returns to Marvel It is also the year in which it is clear that Disney is not willing to part with old and exhausted customs.
