For the past 5 years, comic book movies have exploded into the collective consciousness of theater goers everywhere. From Batman and Superman, to antihero protagonists like The Punisher and Deadpool, these films are revolutionizing the concept of a “Universe” character in which all movies, heroes and villains and settings take place within a giant world. It can be overwhelming trying to figure it all out, but luckily you can learn a lot through these 3 basics. Here’s the beginner’s guide to superhero movies.
- It starts with Iron Man
Iron man begins the creation of the Marvel Universe in which you are introduced to Tony Stark, the billionaire genius scientist who is revolutionizing the army with the creation of his new weapons. In this first film, you see the rise of Stark Industries, as well as the creation of Iron Man. As the plot twists and turns between fighting terrorism on a global scale, betrayal within its own ranks, and conflict with the government and other superhero organizations, you start to build the world and the cities in which we find many of the stories from the comics.
- Captain America the First Avenger
After Iron Man 1 and 2, The Hulk and Thor, you are introduced to the concept of the Avengers with the introduction of Captain America in his first movie. Steve Rogers, the main character, wants to do his duty and help America fight its war against the Nazis. He is rejected over and over again until he is accepted into a super soldier program that turns him into Captain America. Leading the fight against the body of HYDRA, Captain America faces evil and becomes the series’ first Avenger.
- Guardians of the Galaxy
In 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy would become a huge box office success. By incorporating many of the new characters from the Marvel Universe, this film also expands the potential of the worlds, as well as incorporating a new flavor of humor and brevity. Links and links the world of Thor with other movies and maintains many stories from other movies. With its humor, incredible weaponry, pranks, and incredible soundtrack, Guardians of the Galaxy took the Universe to a completely different direction and depth.
- Reckless
Not all Marvel stories come in theater movies. Some became very popular series on Internet movie streaming websites. Daredevil became an instant hit with its hard-hitting plots, backstories, and fantastic acting. Taking place in new cities and expanding the worlds and settings of the protagonists, these different sets of series did a great job preparing for later films.
- Spider-Man Homecoming
Spider-Man Homecoming, while not the last movie, seems to be the most recent in terms of building the Marvel universe. Peter Parker strives to use his new spider senses forever. However, with great power comes great responsibility and Peter begins to realize that being Spider-Man is more than using your powers, it takes maturity, self-control, discipline and decision-making skills that no simple teenager, regardless of the superpowers and abilities- they can do on their own.
