MARVEL really understands young people

Just when I was thinking about whether "The Conjuring"'s global box office achievement of $300 million has something to do with the fact that it has summoned the largest cast of horror films ever, Thor 2 reminded me that in the post-Reunion era, "multiple characters are lighter than ever". Mainline" is the future of Hollywood.

This conclusion makes me a little nervous, but all new creations put a subversive pressure on previous conventions.

In 21st century industrial films, serious themes and crises will become increasingly insignificant due to the intricate emotional relationships between many characters, so audiences will not like plot designs that span a long period of foreshadowing/revealing.

As an audience in the year of "Uncle", it is difficult for the film to let me into the movie: I stole a word from IT/chemical industry as the material basis for subverting the Big Bang Theory/A bad guy who only has a shape but no temperament/I am afraid that the audience will forget it The first episode repeated the absurd theories of the universe / the earth appeared wormholes, etc., etc., and the endless setting made me wait for the mystery. I especially want to know if young people here believe and accept these assumptions.

Sure enough, as soon as loki's (and his mother's) transformation method came out, the depressive trickster god setting and the brief episodes that reversed one by one on the spot immediately allowed the audience to participate in the story. In the absence of any identification in the main thread of the story, we pay special attention to the characters' emotions. Loki subverts the image of the bad guy, Xiaolu "Ki" Horn.

But what I learned was something that other themes (except Inception) couldn't do: various fantasy scenes, along with the big alliance of characters in the third act, also formed a big alliance of scenes, including soy sauce at the beginning xxxheim.

Of course, new magical tools that can no longer be stopped, new settings continue to appear.

The ending made us subvert the new look of loki's characters ten minutes ago, and return to the original balance between good and evil characters. Let us feel that when shooting Thor 3, a new contest between these two mortal enemies is inevitable.

The story goes here.

I want to talk about young people.

The world that young people face is precisely embodied by Thor 2, including miniature models of worldviews like avenger:

new things are constantly pouring out. Accept and learn right away, new stuff piles up right away.

The way of logic does not matter, the conditions of logical inference are subverted and destroyed.

Characters can be thin, but they must be many.

The memory is limited, so the bridges must be short and concise, and the frequency of updates is fast. What strikes me is that this also includes emotional up and down frequencies.

Writing this, I suddenly feel that this new model makes it easier for people who understand Hollywood screenplays, not harder to write commercial films.

Whether this is a bad movie or not is inconclusive, because the standard of judgment is like the app on your mobile phone, and there is an update notification.

So if someone compares Di Renjie and Thor 2, they know that the difference is not only in money.

It's the generation gap, IQ, and comedic ability.

Especially the ability of comedy, the aging of the production leaders of domestic films, will definitely show in just a few years, and they will be completely defeated.

In addition, the Chinese film industry attracts new young people to enter various cultures and the barriers in the power structure, domestic films will decline as a whole, but there will be heroes and dark horses.
