Fantastic Four: First Steps – Marvel Back to Basics

With the same unstoppable force as Galactus devouring worlds at will, that’s how powerful Marvel’s cinematic universe once felt. But after the Avengers saga ended, Marvel began to slow down—offering mostly bland, repetitive stories that lacked soul. Fantastic Four: First Steps felt like a risky bet. It was the first time these characters would be produced under the umbrella of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Previous attempts had never quite managed to establish a successful franchise, and bringing them back again sounded like a doomed idea.

In 2011, the world saw Chris Evans portray the iconic Captain America for the first time. Steve Rogers became one of the pillars of the Avengers franchise and helped Marvel dominate the box office for more than a decade. When Evans’ journey ended, the studios chose to pass the torch to the Captain’s adventure companion. It was time for Sam Wilson a.k.a. Falcon to put on the Captain America suit and wield the iconic shield.

Posted on June 12, 2023 by Hugo Pagan Soto

The Marvel phenomenon changed the movie industry. For better and for worse, Hollywood is caught between the powerful tentacles of the house of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, and the entire legion of superheroes that have been born on the pages of their comic strips. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) is the 32nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 15 years. When the first Guardians of the Galaxy premiered in 2014, it marked a change of pace and stood out for its more acid humor and its daring characters that fit more into the profile of the antihero than the typecast of superheroes to which we were accustomed.

Posted on January 11, 2022 by Hugo Pagan Soto

In the world of superheroes, the secret identity is a fundamental pillar. With few exceptions, these glorious fighters for justice defend their real selves at all costs and only a few really know who they are. There are many reasons, starting because in this way everything is more dramatic. But the most famous is that they do it to protect their loved ones from the fearsome villains that they have to face. In Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) the good old Peter Parker faces the great dilemma of seeing his identity revealed to the whole world. After having managed to defeat Mysterio in the previous adventure, now Spider-Man sees his private life collapse because everyone knows that he is a simple boy from a New York high school.

Eternals (2021)

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Hugo Pagan Soto

Eternal will be the hours of footage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the rate we are going. Eternals (2021) directed by award-winning Chloé Zhao is the latest piece in the vast and complex puzzle of the Marvel universe. It is no longer enough with the old acquaintances, now it is time to dust off each and every one of the characters. It is no longer enough with spin-offs, remakes, and reboots, now you have to squeeze every last drop of everything that smells like money. It is with that spirit that Eternals are born, or perhaps I should say, they are engendered for that reason that they are eternal.
