My 1st post.... People would have thought sports if you knew me. But No! Its about the Marvel Comics Universe


Marvel Movies and Characters: MCU

                I recently just watched Captain America: Civil War. It was fantasticalious. Since about 2012, I have gotten really into the Marvel franchise. I am going to give my opinion on some of the characters and movies. Now listen, I don’t read the comics, so this is all based off of movies.

 

Captain America:             Marvel picked an amazing actor to portray Captain America. Chris Evans has a likeability to him that is hard to explain. All I know is, I want to be friends with Captain America because of Chris Evans. I love how ethical and morally right Captain America is and Evans comes across the screen as super genuine which is a reason why I love watching him in Marvel movies. Also the guy is completely yacked.

Iron Man:                            Iron Man is definitely likeable but in the sarcastic, cocky, a**hole kind of way. Lol. We all know what I’m talking about. Robert Downey Jr. plays this role so well in a lot of movies but in Marvel he is perfect. The best role that Downey ever played though was obviously Kirk Lazarus from Tropic Thunder. “I know who I am! I’m a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.”

                                                In my opinion, Downey did his best acting as Iron Man in Civil War. Tony Stark is in a dark place in this movie and Downey is able to show that emotion very well. Though Stark does not come off as likeable as he usually is, the acting Downey does in this movie is amazing. I could feel the hatred in his eyes. I could feel his inner struggle. I was impressed watching him. He definitely brought Civil War to the next level.

Thor:                                     When I saw Thor- the first movie, I’m pretty sure I fell in love with Chris Hemsworth just like every other female that saw Thor (I’m a man) lol. Seriously though Hemsworth kills it as Thor. From seeing the comic book pictures of him, they look very similar. I think what makes Thor so awesome is Hemsworth’s deep voice. Like Captain America, I love how ethically right Thor is. What separates them his that deep thunderous voice, which life has taught us to be “powerful.” (That’s why police officers and people in charge usually deepen their voice when giving direction) And the fact that Thor is a god. I actually saw The Avengers before I saw the first Thor movie. After watching The Avengers I was like, “ohh this Thor guy is a badass.” I enjoyed the first Thor movie because Thor had to humble himself and become a great leader before being able to yield the power of the hammer. I loved the message the movie sent. Muy Bueno.  


Ant-Man:                            I’m gunna tell you right now, that Ant-Man may be my favorite character. Everyone’s first reaction to Ant-man was: “It looks stupid. A guy who controls ants?” “I just can’t picture Paul Rudd as a superhero.”

                                                Paul Rudd is my boiiiii (think of Flavor Flav when reading that). I think Rudd is perfect for this role and in Civil War he was hilarious, also he kicks some ass. I love Rudd’s comedic timing. His disinterested facial expressions are one of a kind (I really don’t know how else to explain it). He is another one of those likeable a**holes. However, the difference between him and IronMan is how humble Ant-Man is. He seems more relatable to fans because he doesn’t have a gazillion dollars. In Civil War it is funny to see how other super heroes react to his abilities. I thought all the actors and actresses in Civil War had great dialogue and timing with Ant-Man’s humor. He added a needed comedic part to this movie as well as Spiderman (who was hilarious).

Black Panther:                   Chadwick Boseman is phenomenal actor. His role as Jackie Robinson and James Brown, were absolutely fantastic. I loved the James Brown movie he did, there were parts where I cried in that movie, especially the ending. Marvel nailed it with choosing him as Black Panther. His role isn’t very talkative and for the people who don’t read the comic books we don’t know a lot about him. What we do know is his suit is made out of that vibranium stuff and dats pretty cool. And that he is going to play a big role from here on out. Because the secret avengers are hiding out in Wakanda.

Spider-Man:                      Tom Holland was hilarious. I am really excited to see his movie as spider-man coming out in 2017. His dialogue was well written and his necessity to please IronMan was a great addition to the movie. Even for the short amount of time he was in Civil War, I have already decided that I liked him better than Toby Maguire and the other guy from “The Social Network” lol.

Black Widow:                    I feel like I don’t need to say much. Dat gurl Scarlett Johannsen is one fine piece of ash (think of Chris Farley in Billy Madison pleaseee) lol. Besides how cool and good looking she is, her acting skillz are crazy good (notice that I put a z on skill, because she is that good). I especially love when Black Widow plays mind games with people to get information. Her manipulating people is so well written into the movies. Johannsen as an actress portrays so much emotion through her eyes. She doesn’t need a lot of facial expressions for the audience to feel her emotion.

Hawkeye:                           Jeremy Renner is awesome. Hawkeye as a character is awesome. That is all. Jeremy Renner is awesome, one more time. Just in case if you didn’t get the point.

Vision:                                  Vision is cool. You figure that Thanos will take the Mind Stone so darn. The best part about Vision is that Paul Bettany plays him (however I don’t know if he has a gender, but because Bettany is male, I will call Vision a he). The reason Paul Bettany is the best part is because of “A Knight’s Tale.” Rest in peace Mr. Ledger. Bettany plays a character named Geoffrey Chaucer and to me it is legendary. *Video*

 

Falcon:                                 Anthony Mackie’s best parts as Falcon are when he is showing undying allegiance to Captain America because well everyone loves Captain America. And secondly when he is arguing with or battling with Ant-Man. They have a funny relationship because in Ant-Man the movie, Falcon gets “beat” by the little guy. Also, Mackie has an awesome background. He studied at Julliard. Dat man can act.

Marvel as a company and the directors have chosen great actors and actresses to fill the roles these super heroes. I am beyond excited for The Avengers: Infinity part 1. I didn’t even talk about Guardians of The Galaxy and my love for Chris Pratt. Or Zoe <3.
