Today is Marvel In addition to DC the largest and most important comic publishing house in the world and also the origin of one of the most successful film series of all time, the MCU. Comic publishing house emerged from Martin Goodman's publisher Timely's Publishing Timely publications in 1939. Two years later, the publisher became Timely Comics from the publisher for comics and groschen novels. Some of the popular today Marvel-Helden already belonged to the publisher's repertoire, such as the later one Fantastic Four counting human torch and above all Captain America, which of course enjoyed great popularity among the patriotic Americans and was not only an important propaganda instrument during the war in the action of the comics, but also in the real world. Drawer Jack Kirby read Cap on the cover of his first own band in 1941 Hitler. Ikone Stan Lee also belonged to the publisher's team of authors at that time.
A new era
The McCarthy era with its reactionary worldview and its almost fascist approach to everything that did not correspond to this world view was a tough time for comics. The comic Code Authority even had its own censorship authority, which was supposed to prevent the harmful influence of comics on children.
It was only in the 1960s that superhero comics experienced their Renaissance and Timely Comics in 1961 in Marvel Comics um. In fact, the Fantastic Four of Lee and Kirby started, but there were numerous of the heroes as popular today as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Ant-man, Daredevil, Hulk, Thor and Nick Fury. Also the Avengers appeared for the first time at this time, albeit not in the regular line -up that we know from the cinema. It was also the birth of the X-Menthat was intended as an allegory of racism towards Blacks in the United States.
Since the 1970s were a rather bad time for superheroes, the publisher focused on horror comics at that time. In 1978 Jim Shooter became editor -in -chief of the Marvel-publisher and reformed him. It was also he who introduced the big crossover events that were supposed to encourage more booklets at the time and should only reach their real flowering period in 2005, but today to the secret of success of the Marvel-Kinofilms have become.
The 1980s started with darker comics and ended with truly dark times for the Marvel-Publisher. Because in 1988 Ronald Perelman bought the publisher and then practically drove it into ruin in the comic speculation bubble in the early 1990s. But the publisher was able to recover again with some ventures. During this time, the sale of film rights in some popular Marvel-Helden who McU therefore could not be used at first when it was in 2008 Iron Man started.
The first Captain America film
It had filmed before Marvel-Comics given. A first Captain America film was released in 1944. In the late 1970s there was even a first wave of Marvel-films: Spider-Man - the spider person (1977), The incredible Hulk (1977), Dr. Strange (1978), Spider-Man beat back (1978), Captain America (1979), Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979) and Spider-Man against the yellow kite (1981). The fact that we don't remember any of these television films speaks volumes. Only the films of Conan - the Barbar were really remembered. There were other television films with the Hulk and a Captain America again in 1990. The low point was probably The Fantastic Four from 1994, because it was only turned to keep the film rights acquired by Bernd Eichinger (somehow seems familiar to us), and was so bad that Constantin Film never released him.
There was 2000 with X-Men the first bright spot when it comes to adaptation more classic Marvel-Helden went. The emphasis here is "classic" because we have Blade and the Men in black by no means forget. David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury we displaced. The first Spidey film with Tobey Maguire followed in 2002. While X-Men and the friendly spider from the neighborhood made themselves quite good on the canvas, there were still some recognized pipe crepe like Daredevil With Ben Affleck, Hulk and the two even better Fantastic Four films.
The beginning of the MCU
But in 2008 they decided to do the thing with the Marvel To take studios in their own hands and reached for a superhero who was more B-list material at the time: Iron Man. Unimaginable for us today, which proves how much film & TV has shaped our view of the big comic heroes in recent years. In 2009 Disney bought all the wums and led the MCU to its current size. Yes, we would have also wished that it would have been similar with Star Wars. Through a deal with Sony could too Spidey Later return to the MCU. The rights to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men Get Disney with the purchase of Fox. Yes, Disney is for sale whenever a studio is for sale, as General Grievous: "This will make a fine addition to my collection."
Well, and here we are now after over 10 years of McU. For nerds and geeks, it is a real treat that the superhero comics finally got out of the niche, in which they lived their existence for a long time, at least here in Germany. For film freaks and serial junkies, the MCU, which is spreading in the form of films & series, is also a bright joy. An entire film universe is also an interesting new concept, which since then many, but often miserably failed attempts to imitate attempts.
