In today’s film world where superhero movies are prevalent, there are two super-British signs that have stood up and can be called the two overlords of superhero type movies. They are Marvel and DC
But with the maturity of the Marvel movie universe, DC’s several operations mistakes in recent years, Marvel has opened a certain gap with DC in the film. Many DC powders are also smashing their hearts in the face of DC movies. It’s a pity that they are holding a gold sign but playing cards
So the question is coming. What are the possibilities for the DC movie to slowly pull back the gap between the Marvel and the Marvel? Let’s have a cup of coffee together today and talk about this old-fashioned topic
1. Rebuild the world view of the movie (possibility 70%).
Referring to the current worldview of the Marvel Film Universe, several keywords are immediately visible: heroism, absolute justice, positive energy
The Marvel movie universe has been built for ten years and has gradually formed its own distinct worldview. The direction of “justice, positiveness, and correctness” is more clear after Disney’s full takeover of Marvel. After all, they need to take care of the audience of all ages. Your own brand image
So DC? In the early years of “Batman: Dark Knight” series and “Watcher”, we saw that it is a slightly dark world view. There is no absolute black and white in this world, even as a superhero. It is also difficult for people to claim to represent absolute justice, Batman, and Superman
However, in the recent film works, we found that DC is gradually losing its world view that it should have kept. In many cases, it has catered to the audience and even swayed the crowd, moving closer to the Marvel feature, but the result is that fans and passers-by are both Slightly disappointed. After the Batman Superman starred in the storm, it was even worse
Therefore, if DC wants to regain its competitiveness, it is imperative to reshape the world. It is only in this way that it can compete with Disney’s control of Marvel, and it will shine in the field that it is good at
2, develop a DC characteristic road that is different from Marvel (possibility 10%).
2012 “The Rise of the Dark Knight” is the end of the DC New Century Batman series, while the Marvels side through the “Avengers” to open the movie universe in one fell swoop, sucking countless. On this node, Warner apparently had some chaos, copied the Marvel mode, and started his own five-year/ten-year plan
But at this time, DC movies began to go downhill. Is the Marvel mode wrong? Of course not, Marvel has already explained everything with his own achievements. But is this model really suitable for DC? At least it doesn’t seem right at the moment
So, can DC’s plan to build a complete movie universe be slower and continue to work on independent film series? There is no doubt that DC’s independent film series has always been outstanding, and their worldview construction is clearly more concentrated and pure without having to consider too many roles
However, since the ten-year plan has already begun to be implemented, it is difficult to recover. The action to open the movie universe has already begun. It is afraid that the DC characteristic road different from Marvel will have to wait until the next decade
3, relying on outstanding independent series of movies (possibility 60%).
We mentioned that DC can continue to lock up its fans through independent series movies. Now, what series of movies can DC support this gird?
The two major signature “Superman” and “Batman” series starring in the resignation storm, re-confirmed after the starring or can be a battle; the first female superhero independent film “Wonder Woman” is the best work of DC at the current stage The series of films starring the goddess Gail Kaduo must be well grasped, and the sequel has been fixed
The rest depends on a series of movies that are clearly different from Marvel’s Super League. The most distinctive personality is the “suicide squad” composed of criminals. Unfortunately, the series’ first response is not good, if the sequel can Better control may be able to pull back a city
The “Raptor Squad” with similar themes is now in the plan. The all-female super-British group looks attractive enough. If the first work starts with the opening of the cannon, the subsequent series will have a very wide audience
In addition, it is the personal movie of “Clown”. The clown played by Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight” pushes this villain movie character to the altar. At present, DC has the intention of sizzling this “cold dish”. The two “Clown” personal films starring Phoenix and Leto are included in the future plan in parallel, and see how effective it is
4, sit and wait for Marvel operation error (possibility 5%).
The success of Marvel’s film is not only based on its own strategic success, but also borrows a lot of DC’s mistakes in operation. So, is DC likely to wait for Marvel’s operation mistakes?
Of course it is possible, but at present the Marvel movie universe is extremely complete and rich, and almost every character has an extremely large fan group. Even if there are one (or) two film mistakes, more independent films can come up.The negative practice of waiting for Malvern’s mistakes can only be seen in destiny
All in all, DC counterattacks are really hard to add, but it’s not difficult to use your own unique worldview and independent strategy to get out of your own. It’s just that I don’t know how Warner’s film will go out of the next game. Is the trend still going against the wind? Stay tuned together!
