Post-shadow Development Plan

The reason is simple, there are already enough characters in "The Avengers", adding another main hero is likely to cause an imbalance in the role.

It is also tragic to say that the movie "Ant-Man" was approved much earlier than "Iron Man", but it has been stuck in the development hell and cannot turn over.

Qiye remembered that "Ant-Man" had an even more tragic fate in her previous life, and the director left with his team.

Marvel even drastically revised the script for this, changing the protagonist from the original Hank Pym to Scott Lang.

In Qiye's view, the final success of the movie "Ant-Man" is simply the blessing of Namo Gatling Bodhisattva.

You must know that the previous superhero movie with various substitutions and moths, and rolling in the quagmire of development hell was called "The Return of Superman".

It is said that the loss of that film is worse than that of "Justice League" after Warner.

In fact, Seven Nights interviewed James Mangold and Joss Whedon today, all for the purpose of making director reserves for the MCU.

I am still a little hesitant about James Mangold's Seven Nights. The word-of-mouth difference between his filming of "Wolverine 2" and "Wolverine 3" is too big, which makes people feel a little unstable.

However, during the interview today, Qiye's evaluation of him was second only to Joe Johnston.

[Perhaps we can find some western-style superhero movies for him in the future? 】

James Mangold is a member of 20th Century Fox, and there is no pressure to do such things as poaching the enemy's corner for seven nights.

As for Joss Whedon, who was ranked at the bottom by Qiye, in fact, the director's ability is not bad, but it's a pity that his style is really not suitable for "Captain America".

When it comes to Joss Whedon, his evaluation is generally not very good. After all, the failure of "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" and "Justice League" ruined his future.

This is also one of the few directors in Qiye's memory who went back and forth.

Seven nights in my previous life was the last time I saw Joss Wei log in to the news. This old man is already a screenwriter for a TV series.

But in Qiye's view, the other party is an obviously underestimated director.

People always see Whedon messing up important movies of Marvel and DC in turn, and DC fans even think Whedon is a heinous sinner.

But many people forget that the director of "The Avengers" that caused the movie universe boom is the detested Joss Whedon.

Those who drink water not only forget the well digger, but also nail him to the pillar of shame.

It's no wonder that Whedon will quit the social networking platform in the end.

From Qiye's point of view, the future Whedon will be thrown out by Marvel and DC in turn.

Let alone "Avengers 2", in a movie, you have to summarize the second stage, pave the way for the third stage, and tell your own story...

It has been said before that the end of a movie with too many elements is to become a mess.

Even if Qiye came by himself, he couldn't guarantee that he would do better than Whedon.

You must know that this element was never what Whedon himself wanted, but was imposed on him by Marvel.

Whedon has complained more than once in various interviews that he was asked to talk a lot, but he was given very little time (movie duration).

Anyway, Qiye doesn’t know where the Marvel creative committee got their confidence. With the plot volume of “Reunion 2” being almost twice that of “Reunion 1”, it is required that the movie duration of “Reunion 2” should not exceed that of “Reunion 1”. Avengers [-]".

So, the Disney abolition committee really did a great job, and none of those people were innocent.

As for Justice League...

Qiye doesn't know why some people think that a movie's failure, all the blame can be attributed to a person who didn't even get the title of director, and in the end he could only name the screenwriter.

This is as funny as a company going bankrupt, and the responsibility is not the board of directors, not the CEO, but HR.

Many people think that Whedon is a third-rate director who can only make jokes.

But as long as you read Whedon's works carefully, it is not difficult to find that: Whedon's filming style is indeed relaxed and happy, but what he is really good at is the interaction between characters.

Anyway, up to the time before the seven-night crossing, he hadn't found any director who had done a better job of interacting with characters than Whedon in group dramas and movies.

Well, except for Qiye himself.

This is something that even the Russell brothers, who have always been acclaimed, could not do it.

Whedon can not only make the audience familiar with the position of each character through a conversation between multiple people, but also let the audience understand the character of the character better.

What's even more commendable is that Whedon's handling of group battle action scenes is also better than that of the Russell brothers.

Under Whedon's lens, the heroes' battle action scenes will have a strong sense of team, making it clear that they are a team.

And the distribution of each role in the action scene is also very good, no one feels too prominent.

As for the level of the Russo brothers, the level of the airport battle in "US Team 3" should be the limit that the two brothers can control.

After the battle between "Avengers III" and "Avengers IV", the Russo brothers obviously felt that they could not control it.

In the battle of Wakanda and the final battle, the audience can find that many shots have a clear sense of chaos.

Therefore, the audience will see that in these two movies, the heroes basically fight in groups of 2-3.

Fighting Thanos is the same as the gourd baby saving grandpa. Except for a few scenes, they all take turns to fight one-on-one.

Although the Russo brothers have used very ingenious reasons to let other characters disappear temporarily to minimize the sense of disobedience, they can still see a lot of clues.

Of course, in terms of the cost performance of the overall effect, the Russell Brothers are still much better than Whedon.

After all, the narrative rhythm of these two brothers is stronger than Whedon's.
