Marvel's Bold New Chapter: Familiar Faces Return
Marvel and DC's cinematic universes have seen parallel success over the past decade, becoming a playground for fandom rivalry. While both mega-franchises have released numerous successful hits, they chose different paths: Marvel followed a lighter comic approach, whereas DC maintained its darker narrative line. The recent shake-up in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) stories is poised to bring a new chapter in both franchises.
The return of Robert Downey Jr., set to play Victor Von Doom, and the Russo brothers award-winning directors duo known for several Avengers films, has already excited the fandom.
Zack Snyder's Confidence in Russo Brothers Challenges Fandom Rivalry
The said competition between Marvel and DC was put into perspective when Zack Snyder, the director behind some of DC's best-performing movies, showered praises on the Russo brothers. Snyder mentioned, “They're talented guys, and I think they'll do something cool. I think it's time to shake it up a little bit.” As successful directors, Snyder and the Russo brothers have considerable influence in their respective franchises. Snyder's comments about the Russos puts the mutual respect and professional admiration between the franchises in the limelight.
Russo Brothers' Stellar Track Record
The Russo brothers have proven their craft with some of the most successful MCU movies, including Endgame, Infinity War, and Captain America's Civil War and Winter Soldier. Their outstanding track record all but assures their upcoming movies will also be successful. Snyder, who has helmed DC's Justice League, Man of Steel, and Batman v. Superman, wholeheartedly agrees with the Russo's visions and projects.
Reactions to Snyder's Comment: Public Discussion
Although Snyder can separate professional admiration from fandom rivalry, both fandoms face challenges doing so. His comments, however, made a significant impact in the public discussion. One Twitter user concurred, stating, “The Russo Brothers will do an INCREDIBLE job with the upcoming Avengers films just as they have in the past.”
The other reactions strike a similar chord, proving that fandom rivalry need not cloud the recognition of professional talent, regardless of the franchise. This perfectly shows that being a DC fan is not obligatory to shade the MCU, and vice versa.
In Conclusion
The perceived rivalry between Marvel and DC, fuelled by their fandoms, is unlikely to end despite powerful comments like Snyder's. Both Marvel and DC are preparing to release new movies, continuing their parallel success stories. While we can stream DC movies on Amazon Prime, Marvel's projects are available on Disney+.
