The protagonists this time are Black Widow and the Punisher. What they both have in common is that neither has superpowers. The former has been unveiled in the first phase of the Marvel Universe and is the only female member of the Avengers in the current movie universe, so its popularity has soared in recent years, and its popularity is about to catch up with DC's leading Huadan Wonder Woman. The live-action version of Black Widow is played by Scarlett Johansson, which posed a lot of challenges to the creation of related animated images. After watching Black Widow's vigorous figure and exquisite curves on the big screen, the audience will inevitably express the emotion of "show me this when I take off my pants" after watching the slightly rough characters in American animation. From this point of view, the black widow shape of this film is still very worthy of the audience's expectations. The facial features are closer to the soft style of traditional Japanese animation. Compared with the live-action version of Scarlett, the domineering index is much inferior, but the figure is definitely not discounted. Similar to the soy sauce Agent Hill.
Although Black Widow is the character with the most scenes in the film and plays the most crucial role in promoting the development of the plot, it is very vague in character building. If there is anything worth mentioning about this character, it is probably the setting of her "goddess" in the film. The two people who are most obsessed with her in the film happen to be tech nerds. Her boyfriend should represent those diaosi who are crazy for the goddess in reality, and the result of fighting with him is to make himself a ghost, and the goddess also keeps a distance from him. In fact, the best strategy to win the favor of others is to be yourself. Deliberately disguising yourself as the kind of "better person" you think you are, even if you are tired, the person you try so hard to please usually doesn't appreciate it.
The other protagonist, Punisher, is not as tangled as Black Widow, but he is contaminated with the common second-class atmosphere of the protagonist of Japanese comics. In the first half, there are all kinds of criminal bears and all kinds of awkwardness with people, which makes people feel anxious. In the back, it was the same as hanging, obviously without superpowers, and the result was more fierce than those with superpowers. I feel that Madhouse took the previous experience of shaping Wulupazuo and directly put it on Uncle Punishment. The same thick-line man, reckless, short-tempered, doing his own way, with steel claws in his hands, and blowing his hair, he looks like a person. Even the fighting style of the two is the same. The Punisher obviously has no self-healing factor, and the fight actually depends on the damage. In this film, I prefer to see the Punisher and Nick Fury opposite scenes. Although these scenes themselves are not bright, every time I see them together, I think of the Punisher video game played when I was young. 1P uses Punisher, 2P uses Nick Fury (he was still white back then, and he had hair, he was an old smoker, the only thing that has remained unchanged for ten thousand years is the eye patch, and sure enough, that eye patch is his body), sometimes he can pick up a gun , and sometimes the plot needs to give you a pistol, in short, the impression that the punisher loves handjobs was planted. The villain at that time seemed to be Jin Bing, who had a trick to spray his nose, and it would hurt if he couldn't dodge.
The DVD cover of this film is a bit like pulling a banner to make a tiger's skin. In addition to the two protagonists mentioned in the title, the three heavyweight guests standing behind them are all soy sauce. Iron Man and Hulk still have some lines, but Thor doesn't even have lines. Similar to Ms. Marvel and War Machine, they all came out to show off, and even the seiyuu money was saved. The most interesting part of the whole film is when the Avengers come to help the fist, especially when it is accompanied by the theme song of the previous Iron Man animation (I once said that it is one of the few Iron Man animations made by Madhouse I think something of value). At first, I thought the blue one should be Captain America, but it turned out to be Ms. Marvel with a subversive look. In fact, I originally thought that Captain America should be the most cameo, because this film was released at this time, which is a bit of a warm-up for "Captain America 2". Last year's Iron Man: Rise of the Nanobottles, a collaboration between Marvel and Madhouse, also came out shortly before the release of Iron Man 3. As a result, the person who should appear the most didn't appear. It's no wonder that Zemo said he was disappointed when he left. After all, he didn't see his old friend. However, this scene that made the audience feel tired didn't last long. After the two protagonists solved the big villain, I thought the camera would cut to the outfield to see how the Avengers defeated the King of Wanli, but it didn't. And then there.
This film still follows the consistent dog-blood style of the Marvel story produced by Madhouse. In the past, the male protagonist defeated his girlfriend, but this time it was replaced by the heroine to defeat his boyfriend. Madhouse has this kind of ability, so that the audience will sigh with relief when they see the sad scene of life and death, "Fuck finally died!" Even if there are various problems, this film is compared with the previous works. Still can see some progress. Last year's "Nano Magic" was much stronger than the original TV version, the pace was accelerated, the Japanese stage was abandoned, and more popular characters in the comics made cameos and linkages. On this basis, the film abandoned the pretentious villain setting of "Nano Demon", and replaced it with a simpler and more straightforward plot. These are all worthy of affirmation.
Many friends have complained that this series is polluting Marvel's superhero stories with a Japanese comic style. I think this is a bit exaggerated. Most of the cartoons produced by Marvel itself in the United States are at this level, and the Japanese really don’t have much room for pollution. God is very fair, and he can't get everything good. M is recorded on the big screen in various ways, but the animation is inevitably unsatisfactory. So I think, when dealing with these OVAs of Marvel, don't have too high expectations, just look at it casually. I think the cooperation between the Americans and the Japanese is quite successful this time, at least the characters in this film are well drawn.
The first round of Captain America's strengthening week is over. (Although there is no Captain America in it at all)
