Hello everyone, I'm Alaska with glasses and a microphone.
I just finished explaining "Rocky" to everyone some time ago. I didn't expect that Marvel's backhand was two kings, four twos, and another blockbuster:
if... (what if...)
Presumably everyone has had whimsical ideas when watching movies and TV dramas:
If Yan Shuangying's gun had bullets, if Liu Huaqiang bought melons that were ripe, if Zhuge Liang choked when he was fighting the Confucian scholars, if it didn't rain that night when Yiping asked her father for money...
Will the direction and ending of the story be completely different?
The rich and powerful Marvel put these whimsical ideas into the framework of the infinite universe and made this "If...".
Time, space and reality are not just a path, but a prism with infinite possibilities. A small choice can generate countless branches of reality and create a new universe.
The story of the first episode took place in January 1943. The site of the U.S. military super soldier experiment was attacked by Hydra, and the laboratory exploded. Steve Rogers, who had not yet performed the experiment, was also seriously injured.
At a critical moment, Carter appeared, not only easily solved the Hydra agent, but also took the initiative to jump into the test chamber that was about to be destroyed.
In a puff of smoke, Carter replaced Steve as the only super soldier.
Does this scene look familiar?
The American hunk became a British woman. This result greatly disappointed the sexist old dog Colonel Bifflin. He hid Carter in a fit of rage.
The next plot is similar to "Captain America". Red Skull got the universe cube and tried to use it to summon the Hydra God from another dimension, and use the power of the true God to dominate the world.
Howard Stark secretly built a vibranium shield for Carter and launched an unauthorized raid.
Captain Carter is stronger than the original Captain America, can run horses on his arms, stand with his fists, and topple a speeding truck with one sprint.
Carter easily got the Cosmic Cube, and her outstanding performance forced Flynn to send her to the battlefield.
Howard Stark, the father of the future Iron Man Tony Stark, built a suit of armor for Steve with the cosmic Rubik's Cube as the energy core.
As the so-called walk the son's way, let the son have no way to go.
Steve drove the mobile armor, punched the tiger and kicked the fighter, and went to heaven and earth like no one.
Captain America became Captain America, and Iron Man was born decades in advance under the pseudonym "Hydra Stomper".
They led a special team composed of Bucky and others to push the scale of victory to the Allied side.
There is a poem in later generations:
The edge of the city of Berlin collapsed like a tiger, and all the help exploded after thousands of miles.
Not my tank is not strong, but the iron man of the rice team.
However, the good times did not last long. During the assassination of the Red Skull, Steve fell into a trap carefully designed by the opponent. Not only was Steve missed and captured, but the Rubik's Cube also changed hands again.
The Red Skull really used the cosmic cube to summon a different-dimensional octopus monster, and the world was at stake.
The Trample, rescued by Captain Carter, fought with the octopus monster, but soon exhausted the emergency energy and became a pile of scrap metal.
Howard opened the universe cube in reverse, but the strength of the octopus monster was too great to be sucked back at all.
At the critical moment, Captain Carter stepped forward again and used brute force to push the octopus monster inch by inch into the alien space.
Steve could only watch his lover Carter helplessly, disappearing into the dazzling white light, leaving only a promise to dance together.
By the time Carter returned from the different space, the world had already experienced vicissitudes. Nick Fury, the director of the SHIELD who opened the channel in the different space, told Carter that 70 years had passed since 1943...
Another 70 years, another dance that can never be fulfilled, 2021, why is Marvel still killing people!
I want to use the parallel universe to comfort myself, but the character reduction degree is still very high, it is difficult not to let fans feel a sense of substitution.
I simply posted a few stills of Captain America and the American TV series Agent Carter, you can feel it yourself.
It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, it can only be said that it is exactly the same!
But compared to Marvel's previous works, the style of "What If..." is closer to Marvel's current owner, Disney.
If you don't believe me, is this the Hydra version of Disney Castle?
According to this logic, Mickey Mouse is the biggest boss of Hydra?
Compared with live-action movies, animation has a high degree of freedom of expression. The interpretation of "Captain Carter" is very dramatic, and the characters' movements and expressions are extremely exaggerated.
The characters in the play have both a static sense of artistic modeling and a dynamic sense of power.
Tanks fight fists to the flesh, World War II Iron Man fights Tiger Tanks, showing speed and strength.
The aerial combat is even more imaginative. Captain Carter transforms into a humanoid killer, physically destroys the fighter jet, and turns five hundred and seven in the air.
Fighting is sometimes smooth, sometimes rigid, with retro fighting sound effects. This form of expression may not be acceptable to all audiences, but it does fit the background of the era in which the story of "Captain Carter" occurred.
During World War II, America's social economy was not dragged down by the war, but achieved unprecedented development and growth.
The patriotism inspired by the war became the mainstream of American culture at that time.
As a result, the superheroes in the comics have also thrown themselves into the battle to defend the country and oppose the Nazis.
The "Golden Age" of comics has also reached its peak, and its representative work is "Captain America".
"Captain Carter", born out of "Captain America", restores the overall temperament of the "Golden Age" American comics during World War II in a retro way.
In addition to the main storyline, "Captain Carter" also has a lot of small easter eggs, and friends who have watched "Captain America" will definitely be able to smile.
Carter chases the motorcycle on foot, paying tribute to the classic section of the American team running Super Falcon.
While paying tribute to himself, Marvel did not forget to stay close to the hot spots. The Red Skull betrayed, and the Nazi officer was furious and shouted: How dare you!
Who is this spoofing, I don't need to say more? Give environmental protection girls a little face.
In "Captain Carter", Bucky almost fell off a snowy mountain like in "Captain America", but was pulled back by Carter.
If this world line continues, perhaps the Winter Soldier will not appear, Bucky and Tony Stark will not forge a revenge for killing their father, and the Avengers will not split...
Under the influence of the butterfly effect, the entire universe will be very different.
However, the plot of "Captain Carter" came to an abrupt end.
I can understand that Disney, in order to be politically correct, used the story of the big heroine Carter as the opening of "What If...";
I can also understand that in order to reflect the independent female characteristics of Carter, the director arranged for a serious sexist boss;
But the politically correct "What If..." seems to be missing something.
"Creativity".
The first episode released so far did not let me see too much creativity. The director seems to have just changed the positions of several main characters of "Captain America", but the main plot has not changed because of the replacement of the central characters.
Carter's way of thinking and acting style completely lost his characteristics as Carter and became a skin-changing Steve.
According to Carter's style in "Agent Carter", he will not go to the frontal battlefield to harden the tank until it falls into a tight siege, but will adopt the decapitation tactic of being surrounded by elite soldiers.
Carter is empowered, and she's not Steve; Carter's shield and sword, she's not Wonder Woman.
Looking at Steve again, maybe the heavy armor blocked his character arc, and without the help of enhanced experiments, his character was shriveled.
You can see his low self-esteem and his admiration for Carter, but it is difficult to see the patriotism that is crucial to the US team from him.
Howard Stark's role has increased significantly, but he is far from the mad scientist and playboy image of the original film, and his original cynical style is presented in the form of a too soft and cute little slick.
Compared to Howard, he is more like the WWII version of Tony... Dare you rob not only your son's iron armor, but also the characters?
The Winter Soldier Bucky has no sense of existence, and the interaction between him and Steve is almost zero. The Dundong CP fans who came to eat sugar said that he was lonely.
On the other hand, the old rival DC next door boldly used the director James Gunn, who was fired by Marvel, and snowed the former shame of the 2016 version of "Suicide Squad".
At the moment when the super hero is saturated, if Marvel continues to eat its own money like this, continue to consume the feelings of fans, and squeeze the value of popular characters, don't blame our fans for backlash.
Fortunately, the names of the subsequent chapters announced on Reddit made me look forward to this drama again.
In the next episode, we can see:
Black Panther becomes Star-Lord, the son of Daddy Blue, Hitiwakanda. And the dubbing is by the late "Black Panther" actor Chadwick Boseman himself, and this will be the last time we will hear his voice in the film and television series.
Loki has invaded the earth again, can the earth resist his attack this time?
Doctor Strange VS Doctor Strange, the duel between light and dark is about to start!
Black Panther's younger brother, Kermonger, actually got mixed up with Tony Stark. Will the two richest consortiums on earth join forces?
Zombies have invaded the Marvel Universe, and superheroes have transformed into bloodthirsty monsters!
It also introduces a character beyond the current level of combat power in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - the Observer .
In the final episode, he will face off against Vision, a fusion of Ultron and the Infinity Stones.
I hope that the follow-up plot is really as good as the trailer, and I hope that Marvel will not disappoint fans' expectations.
That's all for today, see you tomorrow~
Bye bye!
