MCU Fan Show - Marvel Studios commentary

Discussion prompt from Paul Shearman:

Hey Sean! Like me, I know you’re a big fan of the Art of The Movie books from Marvel Studios, and I’m always fascinated by the alternate costumes shown within the books, and the narrative behind the creative decisions on which ones make the cut and why the others do not.  So I’d love to hear your thoughts on the costumes of the MCU - which you think have worked for modern cinema and audiences, your preferences on the balance between fans seeing ‘comic accurate’ costumes vs impactful and practical for the screen etc.  Would also love  to know a selection of your biggest hits (I know you don’t like to do rankings, which i agree with!) and maybe those that didn’t quite land for you.   Hope this suggestion is enough for a whole episode, thanks for your consideration - and have a wonderful Christmas time!

I don't think this point gets brought up enough is that Bob Iger and Alan Horn are just as much a factor of Marvel Studios success as Feige and his team, my question is am I incorrect in my logic. If Feige had the same Marvel Studios team working with him at Warner Bros instead of at Disney with Horn and Iger, would the MCU have been as successful?

10:29 Woo S Kim

Let's say for argument sake you are a Marvel Studios Parliament Member, Feige looks over at you like Stan Lee said once to Jim Steranko and Feige just shows you the timeline from 2021-2023 of Marvel Studios productions and he says "Pick One," which would you want to be the lead producer for and why?

14:12 Anthony Lawrey

Does the success of The Mandalorian give you even more confidence in the MCU series? 

I personally am excited to see what they may hold since Disney was able to keep the secret of Baby Yoda under wraps so it shouldn’t be out of the question for us to hope for some good Marvel surprises too!

Looking back at 2019 I have a couple questions for you. What is something you'll cherish from this year? Is there anything that happened that you regret or could change? And finally, if you could make something happen instantly in 2020 what would it be?

13:14 Woo S Kim

Inspired by "The World According to Jeff Goldblum" episode about Ice Cream, do you have a favourite Ice Cream flavor, mine is Almond Milk Cherry Garcia.  What say you, Sean?

14:17 Woo S Kim

From your point of view, is there a difference between a First Official Trailer and a First Teaser, or is it really dependent on the film, I hear a lot of YouTube reactors gripping over what the difference is?

20:50 Woo S Kim

Thoughts on WB's recent statements about not knowing what to do with Superman in film and do you feel the same way I do, that it is not a matter of not knowing, it is a matter of not caring about Kal-El?

29:03 Woo S Kim

As I am writing this it is the 25th anniversary of the first Sony PlayStation, any personal memories of this console for you?

31:39 Alex Klein

We were talking in the Watch Party about how Birds of Prey will do at the box office. You said you were on a set visit and couldn't really tell. My question is, do you do many set visits? And if so, are you able to get a vibe or sense of how the movie will do based on what you see on your visit (not just the scenes you see, but the entire production in general like the cast and crew walking around, behaviors, etc)?

49:56 Woo S Kim

Who is on your Mount Rushmore of DC superheroes and why?  Mine are Superman, Green Arrow, The Flash (Barry Allen) and Batman.

53:22 Michael Weaselboy 

Do you think we will see Kevin Feiges Star Wars film next in 2022??

54:52 Anthony Lawrey

Kevin Smith has a bit in one of his stand up specials where he talks about directing an episode of The Flash, and says that as a director of a TV episode, you’re more so a guest than someone in charge of creative control. 

How much do you feel Taika Waititi had a say in the finale of The Mandalorian? So many people are wanting a Taika movie/series but I just wonder how much say he got in all of it.

59:28 Tom DeMichele

It’s natural to compare, but do you think there is too much emphasis on rankings and comparisons when assessing movies, tv, or other media? Do you notice an increased prevalence of this in conversation, reviews, and social media? Is this a reductive tendency that robs the opportunity to judge a piece on its own, or is it an efficient shorthand?

1:13:13 Anthony Lawrey

With the overwhelming success Marvel has had with the Infinity Saga, you have to give a lot of credit to the Russo Brothers and Markus & McFeely...why wouldn’t Disney put the same amount of love and care into the Skywalker Saga? I personally enjoyed the entire series, but I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if the trilogy had ONE director and ONE (or pair) writer. I feel like it was a missed opportunity and JJ spent too much time “fixing” Rians vision. 

1:23:51 Anthony Lawrey

Second part of my question, do you ever see JJ and Rian ever having some sort of working relationship on anything in the future? I feel like it would be difficult to work with someone when you know there were “coincidental” jabs at one another.
