director from Chronicle is doing it too, actually have my hopes up for that one

considering Trank is doing it i'm not worried at all it'll get the comic book stuff done, Chronicle was basically an X-Men movie

aside from gotg 2 release date (2017) nothing new outside ant-man and avengers. figured they might make some announcements.
also if they're really doing one sequel a year does that push thor 3 all the way back to 2018? tom hiddleston won't even be attractive anymore

On the latest Schmoes Know Podcast, our good friend- and overall reliable source- Devin Faraci made an interesting revelation about the direction that Marvel Studios is heading in. After discussing how the old script that Marvel had been tossing around for Doctor Strange has now ended up in the recycle bin, he drops this tidbit:"Marvel's new thing is no more origin stories. So Doctor Strange's movie no longer has an origin. It begins in media res [literary term for "in the midst of things"]. It's got Doctor Strange all ready established as The Sorcerer Supreme. It's a totally new script [...] without any of the previous stuff. They're not even touching the previous script."

i would be cool with them doing short origin story bumpers at the start of each marvel movie for the NEXT marvel movie, a'la pixar's preshow shorts.

but yeah, fuck wasting the first half of your movie with an origin story that was kinda lame when it was penned sixty years ago and that 75% your audience already knows anyway

OTM. The first few movies can be seen as an origin story for the whole milieu and let's get on with it from there.
― Cindy Operahouse (WilliamC), Monday, 18 August 2014 16:34 (nine years ago) link
skipping the origin story allows writers to backfill as necessary, which I would think is liberating.

thing is, any character they launch now will NOT be familiar to 75% of your audience if your audience is a blockbuster one. I can see wanting to get away from movies where the climax of the film is "and that's how...he became...THE SUB-MARINER!" but I hope they find a middle-ground between that and assuming we don't need a little time to acclimate to a dude in a speedo with wings on his feet.
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
we still need to know why we should care about the character beyond the fact that they've been in the presence of nerds for decades, and origin stories are usually the easiest way to express that
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
i'm seeing guardians tonight so will be able to answer this question myself soon but didn't they just throw the characters in with like five minutes of exposition? And that's one where you can assume 95% of the audience DOESN'T know who these guys are.

no guardians is an origin story fo sho
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
each individual character gets a little exposition at the beginning, but the story is about their gradual transformation into a team
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah, that's what I mean by "origin story": how they became who they are. Team dynamics tend to make good movies. But origin stories that stick to canon usually suck because this stuff was written by madmen on a deadline in 1953; nobody wants to hear about spiderman's daddy issues. if the origin story is a freshly rewritten take on the character (Thor did this pretty well i thought) then fine. Otherwise, I'd prefer we start with issue #75 and up plz

people loved spider-man's origin story the first time. it was huge. they just didn't need it again in the fourth spidey movie in a decade.
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:47 (nine years ago) link
if dr. strange will already be sorcerer supreme at the beginning of the movie, they'll probably have an audience surrogate (maybe a laaady) going "wtf magic?" instead of strange himself
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
so it will really be the "origin story" of his assistant or girlfriend.
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
the smart thing about taking that road would be it allows for them to do a flashback "strange rising" prequel...and you knoooow they love prequels

Hellboy did a pretty great job with this. 5 minutes - oh, he's a demon from hell and we'll figure out the rest later - Cut to 80 years into the future!
That said I agree that origin stories can be great if done right, the ones that are annoying are where we have to keep seeing them (new Spider-Man, new Fantastic Four again soon) or the ones that are just terrible generic-feeling retreads (Green Lantern, which should have easily avoided this problem).
― Nhex, Monday, 18 August 2014 17:01 (nine years ago) link
x-men did the "non-origin origin story" structure well, with rogue as the audience surrogate needing to be caught up while cyclops and storm were already cyclops and storm
xpost hellboy had that geeky fbi agent (and actually didn't do so great)
