For the villains of the Marvel Universe,

is not without classic and powerful settings, but in many cases, it is precisely because of the powerful attribute settings of these characters that limit the popularity of these characters.

The "Joker" of the DC Universe next door has really attracted a lot of attention these days. With its own DC Joker's golden IP and the content rendered by the movie, the popular and explosive character of the DC Universe has once again been put on the screen. The same , And it is precisely because of the influence of DC Joker that many fans are also watching Marvel in turn.

Compared to DC, Marvel also has a lot of villains, but why is it not popular? Here is the reason! - Lujuba

​​After all, although Marvel has a lot of villains nowadays, it has reached the level of "clown", at least in the shadow universe, it is almost zero.

But is it really that Marvel lacks a heavyweight villain?

answered obviously not.

In the original setting of the Marvel Universe, when it comes to villains, there are eight or nine hundred without a thousand. Among them, the "transcendence" in the secret war period and the eternal antithesis of destruction are all like this. One of the more powerful villains.

Compared to DC, Marvel also has a lot of villains, but why is it not popular? Here is the reason! - Lujuba

Take "runes" as an example:

in Marvel's original setting, the runes themselves are the opposite of "eternity", and they represent the essence of "destruction", and the meaning of existence is to pull the Marvel universe In the midst of destruction, it was only sealed in the early setting of the comics, and the plot was not eye-catching.

Of course, the interesting thing that needs to be mentioned here is:

in Marvel’s setting, the person responsible for sealing the "runes" is the Marvel Universe known as the "power unit" Uncle Tun, in other words, Uncle Tun The reason why his big head is the shape we see is actually because Uncle Tun is the "lock" that seals the runes.

is able to reluctantly seal the rune by relying on countless multiverse uncle Tun.

Of course, the reason why the author mentioned the runes is that the runes in the comics naturally have a side story that breaks through the seal. For runes that have broken through the seal, their destruction properties are instantly revealed, making the gods Even if the rune doesn't do it himself, just standing there, the universe around the rune will automatically slowly enter the trend of destruction.

This is where the rune breaks.

Faced with this kind of villain setting, if you want to confuse him, Marvel actually set up a very easy mechanism, which is the "meaning of existence". As mentioned earlier, the meaning of the existence of the rune itself is "Destroying the Marvel Universe", therefore, Mr. Fantastic, who finally turned the rune in the comics, also used this rule under the hint of the eternal boss to completely eliminate the rune.

That is, the rune exists because of the Marvel universe. If the Marvel universe does not exist, the natural rune will have no meaning and will be automatically obliterated by the rules. Therefore, in the comics, Mr. Fantastic got the "Ultimate Eraser" "Destroyed the entire Marvel Universe in an instant, making the rune lose its meaning and annihilated by the rules, and then restarted the Marvel Universe with the help of the "Ultimate Eraser".

finally dissolved the rune crisis.

And this is just a setting of "runes" in the Marvel multiverse, not to mention the "transcendors" in the secret war period and even the "transcendence protoss" behind the transcendence itself.

After all, fans who are familiar with Transcendence know how powerful this product is, but compared to the Transcendence Protoss behind the Transcendence, the Transcendence itself is the infant unit of the Transcendence Protoss.

And compared with the plot of Transcendant, in Marvel's original setting, Transcendence Protoss used to experiment "What will happen to the entire universe?" This project directly created "molecular people" in each universe.

even sent the "Ivory King" and other tribes to personally participate in the sweeping of the Marvel multiverse. As for the strength of the ivory king-level transcendent protoss, it can only be said in the comics-

3 ivory kings-level transcendent protoss. You can turn the court of life!

Therefore, for the Marvel Universe, there are actually not a few "villain" settings, and this number exists from low dimensions to outside dimensions.

But why are these powerful villains not popular?

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than three element dimensions: plot, personality and carrier method. Here I will briefly talk about these three points:

[1] The plot of the Marvel villain tends to "serve" the world view!

Marvel has never lacked villain roles, but many of the villain plots in the Marvel universe have not been digging deep. The better “pure villain” setting that has performed well in recent times is Thanos.

​​But in spite of this, Thanos did not survive the two main movies after appearing in the shadow universe.

Digging deep into the role of the villain, Marvel is actually not doing good enough for now, because as the author said earlier, most of the villains of Marvel are to "serve" the worldview and plot view of the movie. The light is not an exaggeration. The most typical of these is the "Ultron" of the film version.

The strength of Ultron we saw in the movie is actually not strong. In the plot, it has the setting of "assembly line" and visual sense. Generally speaking, it is the style of "one hammer sale" without considering the subsequent plot. Extension is simply "online" in a movie and "offline" in a movie.

but do you know? The role of

in the original Marvel setting of Ultron is definitely a top villain setting. The plot involved is not very exciting, but the story line involved alone is more than a street wider than the movie. .

At this point, because of the "dark style" route of the next door, DC is actually more familiar with the villain's deep digging. This is also due to the difference in the movie style routes of Marvel and DC.

After all, as far as the current Marvel is concerned, most of it belongs to the humor setting route of the family carnival, which is different from the extremely dark plot style setting of "Joker", and naturally it is weaker for the villain mining.

[2] Many villains of Marvel set a bias toward "functionalization"!

is like the Marvel villain's "rune" mentioned by the author. In the original plot, the story of "rune" actually has a very obvious "single line" trend.

In other words, for runes, more of them are actually not a villain suitable for deep digging. The emergence of more "runes" is to meet the needs of the righteous party to have an opposite. , The strength rune is indeed strong, but this strength is a bit out of the range of enough depth to dig the villain's value.

compares "joker" and "rune", the latter is very "distant" from the audience, so far as the audience can only regard the rune as a "symbolic" villain, except for the villain in the rune Apart from this word, there will be no other resonance.

But the clown is different.

The clown is weak, but it is precisely because of this "weak" and "groundedness" that many fans can have enough resonance. This is actually one of the reasons why the clown can become a classic.

Because for movie fans, clowns not only have the function of "villain", more clowns are born with the background of "weak vs. strong" is one of the classic cores, just like a saying on the Internet. ——

"How to make a big villain?" "Please give him a bad life!"

And "bad life", sometimes it is not far away from us!

At the same time, in contrast, it is precisely because the "superior" of villains such as Marvel's runes makes fans feel far away, so it is difficult to resonate, so even if runes have all the elements of high-quality villains, they may not become A popular villain.

And the clown's "low down" will allow movie fans to see some real life shadows, so it is easy to resonate, and this is why the clown is so popular, because even if the clown is a villain, it is activated Some of the elements of "I'm not convinced" and "rebellious psychology" in the minds of movie fans have a higher sense of resonance and natural popularity.

[3] The carrier displayed by the villain is actually very important!

After reading "Joker", I asked if Marvel has a target villain setting. I can only say that there is, but for the current Marvel, many "treasure villain characters" are still in comics. For many movie fans in China, the atmosphere of reading comics is not high.

More people still stay in the "movie" way of presentation.

Therefore, for DC, the sign of "Joker" put aside this year's (2019) new version of the clown. The clowns in the previous "Dark Knight" trilogy and other movies have been put on the screen very early.In terms of the popularity accumulated in the original comics, the popularity of movies has been accumulated over the years alone.

and this is actually behind Marvel.

So, for the current Marvel, if you want to show your classic villain role, you still have to put it on the big screen. After all, for many fans in China, most of the understanding of Marvel is still Just stop at some of Marvel's movies in these 11 years.

But at the same time, you must also know that:

Marvel is now building a very refined Marvel movie universe. There needs to be a come, come, come, and slowly pave the way for the story structure, so it is not Marvel that many times. The classic villain is online, but the plot is immature. Even if the villain wants to go online, they can’t have the right plot.

is typically like Marvel’s Doctor Doom. Only after the Fantastic Four goes online, this classic Marvel villain has room for play.
