I always think that the villains in the movie are the soul of the movie, and the protagonists only promote the development of the movie story.
Marvel has released more than 20 hero movies: "Iron Man", "Invincible Hulk", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", "Captain America: The Avengers Pioneer", "The Avengers", "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2: The Dark World", "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", "Ant-Man", "Captain America: Civil War" , "Doctor Strange", "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Thor 3: Ragnarok", "Black Panther", "Avengers 3: Infinity War", "Avengers IV" Wait.
I have seen most of these 20 Marvel movies. But when I think back to these Marvel movies carefully, except for the funny part: Loki was sorely despised by the Hulk, Thor smiled stupidly, it seems that I can’t remember the plot, acting, villain, etc. of. It was really cool to watch at the time, but I won't waste time to watch it a second time.
Marvel tells fantasy in the real world, and shoots mortals into heroes, which makes ordinary people become gods overnight, to see how they control their abilities; DC explores reality in the fantasy world, and when heroes become mortals, they make true gods Fall into the world and see how they defeat themselves. Marvel mainly stays on popcorn movies, and commercial movies make money first. And DC's digging into the role is deeper, and it's lingering in retrospect. .
Now every time I watch a Marvel universe movie, I feel a sense of exhaustion. Although the heroes are stronger than the drama, the special effects are better than the other, but the plot seems to be the same: sell a cute, fight the villain. And the gathering of heroes has become a happier fight against the villains.
Marvel movies feel that they rely on "visual bombing" to earn eyeballs. Although the special effects are really great, it seems that I can’t recall the effect. I don’t want to remember, but I can’t remember it. This visual bombing does not leave reaction time. , Directly deprives the audience of thinking, the audience only has vague impressions and excitement, as well as visual and aesthetic fatigue. In fact, "visual bombardment" is just a habitual tactic in Hollywood. There is nothing to be admired. As long as you spend money, anyone can do it. On the contrary, if you can make science fiction movies feel real, that's true.
But why doesn't DC pursue the so-called "visual bombing" effect. Is DC (Warner) poor? Obviously not, the cost of Batman Prequel 3 is more than 30 million US dollars higher than Avengers 1, which is not bad at all. I feel that DC movies are pursuing the "dark reality" effect. For example, if you watch "Batman: The Dark Knight", you feel that the Joker can turn the sky upside down, and you will worry about everyone inside, but watching Marvel, it feels like you can't die anyway. Of course I heard that a lot of superheroes died in "Avengers 3: Infinity War", but did the deaths of superheroes shock you a lot?
Let’s talk about the villains below. The villains in the two universe series don’t feel that they are on the same level (the opinions may be different, after all, I’m a DC fan. It should be excusable to praise DC for hurting Marvel), Marvel’s villain: I To rule the whole earth! I want revenge! And the DC villain: What are money and rights? Let me show you the ugliest aspect of human nature. It has nothing to do with you if I kill you.
The descriptions of the motivations of the protagonist and villain in Marvel tend to be superficial, which is as difficult to remember as drinking plain water. I won’t talk about the previous Marvel movies. The villain has nothing to talk about. It’s the villain Thanos in "Avengers 3: Infinity War". In this movie, Marvel’s villain is really real. Is discussed by people.
This movie Thanos is the "protagonist", he is not for himself, he yearns for a certain order, so all his actions are motivated. But the clown is different. The clown is a person who dares to trample on all the rules of society. He does not care for money, power, desire, and no motive for crime. He showed the audience evil without logic. He firmly believes that human nature is evil, so he designed a series of human nature tests, and he is above everyone's psychology. He is stronger than anyone, even stronger than the protagonist, his failure in the final analysis is that he does not want to play. He can support the movie "The Dark Knight" alone.
Whether you are a Marvel fan or a DC fan, in shaping the villain, the clown in Nolan Prosperous "The Dark Knight" is a villain you have to convince. Heath Ledger infused this character into his soul, and on the other hand, in the reunion, whether it is Rocky in the first part or Ultron in the second part, its influence and spread cannot be compared with the clown. The appearance of Thanos in "Avengers 3: Infinite War" brought Marvel's villain to the next level.
