After watching more and more Marvel superhero movies, we can't help but find that the superheroes in Marvel Comics, regardless of their origins, ages, experiences and abilities, have gradually become homogeneous. One of the most obvious changes is that they all start to become teasing.

Iron Man was the first to tease. Robert Downey Jr.' s Iron Man, with high IQ, smelly fart, high-profile and rich gold, and seemingly fancy mouth gun, is very popular and well received, which has opened up a unique superhero movie style in Marvel Comics, that is, relaxed, funny and cool fighting scenes, and it is most important for the audience who pay for it to have fun. The Iron Man trilogy has been a great success, and each one has a box office of over 300 million dollars in North America. There is no doubt that "Iron Man" series is by far the most successful single superhero movie in Marvel Comics.

After that, "Invincible Hulk" did not continue the success of "Iron Man". In the movie, Dr. Bruce Banner, like Bourne, escapes from the military all the year round, thinking of his girlfriend, hating his identity, and talking about love is a gentle mess. Personally, I think it fits Bruce's identity as a high IQ science man. However, Edward Norton's version of the Hulk is not very successful in both business and word of mouth, and the box office is the lowest among all Marvel superhero movies.

Similar to Captain America: Pioneer of Avengers, Steve in the movie always has a "bitter and bitter" face, which is frowning, eager to go to the battlefield, and hates his ability to produce iron. His missing with his lover and friendship with Bucky also make people sigh with emotion. The film paved the way for the origin of the American team long enough, which gave a reasonable explanation for his later behavior and provided a basis for the causes of his personality. Personally, I don't think this movie is as bad as the reviews (Douban 6.5, IMDb 6.9), even a great movie of superhero origin, at least much better than Thor in the same period. But later, I gradually found that the US team was a bit different: in Captain America: Winter Soldiers, he had already been gagging with his comrades; In this "Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes", his existence has become a laughing point. It makes people wonder: Is this really the shy and sensitive Steve Rogers?

Then thor. It's only been half a year since I finished reading the two "Raytheon". When I wrote this review, I asked myself, what kind of person (or god) is Raytheon? To my disappointment, I really can't think of any other words besides being grumpy and a little teasing. The only highlight of the "Raytheon" series probably lies in the creation of a distinctive villain: Loki. It is expected that the reputation and box office of this series are average.

After successfully creating The Avengers and a series of solo films by women's federations, Manwei also developed many other comic characters. Among them, "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant Man", the dark horse at the box office, are the most popular ones. But when I think about what kind of people Star Jue and Ant Man are, I am a little shocked. I can't think of any adjectives other than "teasing" and "speaking" for these two popular characters. But think carefully about the experience of Star Jue: he lost his mother as a child, was hijacked by aliens from the earth to an alien, and was adopted until one day he met his biological father, only to find that he was a great devil who wanted to destroy the universe, and then killed his father with his own hands. I really don't understand how his teasing personality was formed and maintained. (In fact, "Deadpool" is similar, but because "Deadpool" is the biography of "X-Men" series, I won't say it here. )

Finally, back to the latest edition of Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes. Maybe it's because Spider-Man in 2002 was the first superhero movie I watched, and it was too classic in my mind—attractive plot, rich emotional description (family, love and friendship were well displayed), chilling villain (so that I thought William Dafoe was a bad man when I saw him for a long time)—I didn't like the later amazing spider-man and the new edition. Many people like this edition because it abandons the bitter dogma of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", and also removes the sad plot that Uncle Ben was killed by a gangster because of Peter's fault. It is easy and funny, so it looks good! However, I just think that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" is the greatest personality charm of Spider-Man, and the death of uncle is the core motive force of all Spider-Man's actions. Now, Peter's courageous actions seem to be to win the appreciation of Iron Man. There is no touching love, no contradictory friendship, and no affection that blood is thicker than water. Spider-Man has become an existence for The Avengers, leaving only "teasing" and "talking" to draw close to the painting style of Marvel heroes.

Maybe "Iron Man" was too successful ten years ago. Maybe the charm of Iron Man is easier to please the audience. Marvel Comics sacrificed a lot of unique personality charm that superheroes should have in order to win the box office. Admittedly, this setting is easier for the audience to watch than The Dark Knight, Superman: The Body of Steel and Batman vs Superman, but I doubt whether they will become classics after many years.
