Reflection #5: Why everyone loves Marvel?

The reason why Marvel receives so much love is because of the diverse platforms and content that attracts the audience. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) contains movies, one-shot and tv series.  Each platforms interlinks with one another. As discussed in class the elements that links one story to the other are character, motivation, object, events/history, organisation and location. Whenever you are watching either the movies or tv series and if some of the elements are being brought up you then start thinking and making the connection in your mind. You start to think back from previous stories and see if the new information you have now is linked to the previous ones. The things about MCU is that it’s like a puzzle where you try to fit every bits of information together and finally seeing the outlook but there is still a lot of missing information. I found a youtube video on MCU in chronological order. It its fascinating to see how the information is being pieced in chronological form. There are so many information to process and to think about how they created such a huge universe.

I feel that the reason why everyone loves watching Marvel movies, one-shot and tv series is the simple plot and anticipation for the next movie for example. Everyone wants to dig up as much information/clues they can and see how useful it can be to link the rest of the information. Especially, at the end of every Marvel movie, audience will wait until the end credit to see a short clip which makes audience even curious for upcoming movies. However, there is not much hype for tv series like Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD. Some audience may find it long-winded and that each episode repeats the same story arch. I feel that this kind of tv series are more like to pass your time. Both tv series produce interesting information about the past, present and then eventually linking to the bigger picture the movies. Almost everyone will still continue to love Marvel in the future because there are more movies lined up to hit the big screen soon.
