Captain America was well known just not on par with the others. Iron man was B list at best
Only comic fans or kids who grew up watching the 90's Iron Man cartoon knew who he was, but to the public, he was a new character. Capt America was known the same way WW is known today, which is a very iconic looking character that's been around forever, but no one knows her story or origin, they just know what she looks like.
We've seen Marvel succeed at taking lesser known characters like Iron Man and Thor and giving them their own films before throwing them into a team film AND just introducing obscure characters all at once (GotG.)
True, although by the time GOTG hit the screen, the Marvel brand was strong enough to sell these unknown characters. Another benefit of using unknown characters, is that people don't have preconceived notions of what the characters should be or shouldn't be as we've seen with characters like Batman and Superman, which have been around for so long that everyone has in their minds their own ideal version of those characters, hence why it's more difficult to make the fans happy. Also, unknown characters don't t get compared with previous versions because they're one of a kind.
We keep talking about these Marvel film and referring to the General public not know them so they had to make all those films... Lets be honest.. Take the general public out of this argument
I can't, because those films were made specifically for the general audience. They had to build their universe on the shoulders of an unknown character, IM. He had never been in a film before unlike Batman or Superman and no one knew his origin. By now, people know Sups origin from MOS, and Batman is so iconic that everyone knows his story....giving him a solo film first is not going to change that.
[ come at this as comic fans.. We as comic fans knew who IM, Thor, Cap, and Hulk were... We did not need all of that lead up to The Avengers..
The avengers are a larger group of characters and their facing Gods and aliens from other worlds and that needed to be set up. BVS is about Batman (a well know character) having a problem with Sups because of what happened in the previous film which people are familiar with. That's a simple story. Yes, there's Lex Luthor also, but again he's a well known villain, unlike Loki.
But the Avengers was a better movie because of it... Even when some of those films were not all that great....
Yes, because it had many elements that needed a set up for the film to make sense.
I say the same logic goes for BvS... Of course we know who everyone is... But just like the Avengers was made a better movie due to build up.. the same would go for BvS....
Not really, BVS is a much simpler story which is building upon a film that people are already familiar with.
If WB was making a Justice League film, I would agree with you that they are rushing it, but they're not making a JL film, it's BvS: Dawn of Justice, and by the time the JL: part 1 comes out, there's MOS, BVS, Suicide Squad, and Wonder Woman to get us ready for JL. The film will most likely focus on the trinity anyway, with Flash and Aquaman doing some cool stuff.
Isn't true that before the whole premium membership nonsense everyone could give rep, not just the premium members? I remember there was no premium membership a few years ago, also the forum page didn't have this bright annoying white color. It was darker.
