This year, I was very excited when I saw the four TV series projects of Marvel, and the most open-minded what if is what I am most looking forward to. These projects were basically set up a few months after Avengers 4. At that time, everyone was still in a feeling of despair and emptiness of the end of a generation of heroes. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the valuable and beloved heroes like the Winter Soldier Wanda Loki have a solo album. But at this point, after the above three episodes and the first episode of what if, I don't want to watch any more episodes of Marvel TV that I'm tired of. It's really tiring to destroy...
Now with the wave of political correctness sweeping in, the word "replacement" is not uncommon. Forcibly replacing white characters with blacks, forcibly transgendering male heroes, and forcibly turning heterosexuals into LGBTQ groups are simply routine operations. Although the character setting and background remain unchanged, changing these political elements seems to kill two birds with one stone.
But I didn't expect that such a capitalist figurine-style operation was actually used by Marvel as a core high concept to create a series, forcibly humiliating the concept of "parallel universe". (Of course, this is just my feeling after watching the first episode. If I improve later, I will come back and change it)
Do you think it would be a big turning point for Carter to become Team America? No, this is a female version of Captain America 1 reenactment, with no difference except gender. The female captain can even fight a hundred times more than President Tao of Team America 1. At that time, President Tao was still fighting with the Red Skull. Now Carter can overturn the jeep with his bare hands and tear the Nazis in the first scene after becoming Team America ( It is recommended to change the name to Carter the White Giant). This is not the worst. Originally, Steve's biggest character halo was his patriotism. He accepted this risky plan to serve the country, but Carter didn't have this setting at all! Therefore, Carter, the flat tool man in the main universe, is also a paper character in another world, and he has become a hero without getting rid of the image of big chest and no brain.
The so-called "Hydra Stomper" Steve thought it would be more interesting than the Ka team, but he did not expect it to be a replacement. I thought that there would be something different after falling off the cliff, but it turned out to be an old routine. It is hard to imagine that the story can be told so calmly and boringly in a drama about a parallel universe. However, although the characters of the two protagonists are still empty and forcible, the scenes of the two fighting together are very beautiful. The two scenes of the tank battle and the trapeze are very exciting. I have to say that it greatly makes up for the lack of cooperation in the main universe shield and iron.
Howard's role has increased significantly in the other world, but you will soon find that he is completely a World War II version of Tony, whether it is character or character function, or even the exact same appearance. Bucky was obviously added for the purpose of forcibly appearing. He had a human background throughout the whole film, and he didn't even say a word to Steve during the whole film, and CP fans didn't even get a slag. Not to mention the Red Skull, who was mentally retarded in the original film, and even more funny in the animation, killed by the big octopus he summoned. After watching it for half an hour, I didn't even know what the value of these people's existence was.
The most sloppy ending is the ending. The octopus was inexplicably entered the portal by Cattumab, and Carter inexplicably traveled to SHIELD after 70 years, and the octopus boss died like this, and the story came to an abrupt end. It can be said that it is really lonely to see.
Before watching the show, you might think that Marvel wants to show some interesting branches of another world or a wonderful parallel universe story in the comics, but after watching such an episode, I really don’t know what the point of filming this thing is. It's the rough welding and boring display of a sex-transfer version of Captain America 1 and the time-advanced version of Iron Man 1, blinding such a textured picture and silky battle scenes.
If Wanda and the Winter Soldier are at least created for the continuation and connection of the MCU story, then Loki and wf are simply bad dramas that consume, waste characters and fans' feelings. It seems that there is a shell who wants to seriously talk about high-concept creative points. In fact, there are only bland and vulgar scripts and a group of main creators who are already tired of dealing with them. Marvel's four dramas and one movie this year can basically be said to be mediocre and hip-pulling. Wanda is a high-profile, but I didn't expect to go all the way down to the point of wf's mental retardation. It can be seen that Marvel is already confused after the third stage, because the burden of success in the first three stages is on their shoulders, and the main creators are stagnant. They do not want to abandon the popularity, traffic and feelings accumulated by the old heroes, but Their stories have long been told, so they had to shoot these low-impact and low-production lousy dramas one by one, draining the remaining value of the characters and the remaining emotions of fans. I hope Marvel can end it sooner rather than later.
When we used to like these heroes, we started from scratch. As long as the characters are beautiful and novel, everyone will fall in love with each new hero. But Marvel also realized another problem, that is, the super-saturated superhero comics industry is highly saturated, and everyone is tired of watching the old-fashioned superhero movies (so a random release of self in DC has become a hit). But in any case, I hope that this kind of behavior of blindly targeting fans' feelings and roles to pervert profiteering will end here (although the "first season" after Loki and wf indicates that it is impossible).
The reason is very simple, when the person who loves you (consumed by you) no longer loves you, how should you go on?
