The MCU Transforms

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2018)

The Avengers, no matter which way you look at it is an incredible achievement. The 6th official entry in the MCU which was a multi million cinematic experiment 4 years and 5 previous Marvel films in the making for its eventual leadup of its iconic superhero characters became a critical and commercial success which pioneered the superhero crossover film, revived the superhero genre and rewrote pop culture in a way that is still being felt today even after its release nearly 7 years ago now. The overall genre and emotional tone of The Avengers along with every other modern Marvel movie with its near perfect blend between drama and serious storylines but with light hearted comedy and great action sequences. It's been able to get everyone together, not just the comic fans due to Marvel's now infamous MCU formula with its massively wide spreading and universal appeal to anyone who has any interest in Marvel superheros and being entertained by a light-hearted action comedy blockbuster which has proven time and time again to be right with every Marvel film since with the Marvel Cinematic Universe now becoming the highest grossing film franchise in history with over 1 billion dollars.
Now with Infinity War out, the third and possibly final Avengers film. The formula is now starting to become tested. No Marvel film before Infinity War has really tried to be dark, but the MCU is changing and now after seeing the film and where it went emotionally and storywise and have no idea where it's going to go after the way it ended, which is good. Marvel has listened to fans complaints of how previous villains were not serious or intimidating enough and how no main characters have ever actually been killed off with the feeling that they might not ever come back, this movie changes all that.
Infinity War is not predictable. It's surprising and entertaining in the first half, then it hurts you and leaves you cold. Thanos was an incredible and brutal in this film as was the type of villain that Marvel Studios really needed at this point and I think they did an incredible job with the character aswell as all the choices he made and all the things he did in this movie, he was a better villain than by any right he needed to be. His CGI was great as well.
It's a lot harder to talk about this film in a review than you think, and what it means for the future of Marvel Studios apart from saying it's my favourite Comic Book film of the decade so far since The Winter Soilder and complete new milestone for Marvel. Not just for Marvel, but for Comic Book Films as a whole. The MCU will grow in new ways unlike ever seen before because of this movie, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Captain Marvel is going to do that. I have no idea what's going to happen next, I don't read the comics
