The Making of the MCU was a Sh*t Show (Pt 3: Toying with Phase 2)

Watch Part 4 here: / 98002216
Making movies for toys is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Iron Man 3 changing scripts to sell more toys to Thor: The Dark World changing scripts to sell more toys or choosing to make Guardians of the Galaxy… to sell toys.

[@ae6888]

damn, thanks for shining a light on Gunn's shitty tactics against Nicole Perlman.

[@sebastian.stamour]

I didn't know about this. Really disappointing to hear.

[@Vanced-ii3bj]

I will only believe it if I see evidence of it.

[@chaberio1335]

Agreed. Imagine Nicole shinned a light in those Gunn tweets that followed lol karma

[@samgorman2258]

@@Vanced-ii3bj this info has been out in the open for years,, but the video is really well sourced. you can see their sources in the video description.

[@cokemaster3710]

the information in this video contradicts itself. apparently the entire script was the same but someone came in and did a revision and gunn came in not connected to the characters until he gave them backstory…idk. sounds like she did get screwed over, but james gunn also sounds like he was involved more than shes letting on

[@GarrettCRW]

What always gets me about the “we gotta sell toys” argument is that if you just make it good, the toys will fly off the shelves. That’s what the writers of the ‘80s G.I. Joe cartoon felt, for instance (and most of them spent much of the ‘70s writing for Marvel Comics). Whenever an exec (ESPECIALLY if it’s a toy exec) starts making story decisions for a movie or TV show or whatever in order to sell merch, it always gets worse and ends up poisoning the well, which leads to worse movies and poor toy sales.

[@GarrettCRW]

@@thenightstar8312 Funny, because as I mentioned in my initial comments, that’s not how the writers of the G.I. Joe cartoon felt. Steve Gerber (creator of Howard the Duck at Marvel in the ‘70s), who had plenty of ill words for his time in animation, was generally proud of his Sunbow work, to name one example. I’d spend more time on your woefully late reply, but I sense that you hate the bulk of ‘80s US TV animation out of hand and really aren’t worth my additional effort in discussing the merits of basically ANY show of the era.

[@andrasbiro3007]

My favorite part is where they said teenage boys wouldn't buy a Black Widow toy. That's in the top 5 stupidest things ever said by anyone. It would have made more money then the rest of the MCU combined.

[@wheeler6768]

Damn, I had no idea just how sleazy James Gunn was. I appreciate how this channel highlight's dodgy practices from popular people. So many channels would be too scared to even try to call out someone like James Gunn

[@josay3394]

Its the fact that the first one is arguably better, than the one he made with creative freedom in vol.3

[@brycebitetti1402]

​@josay3394 Well yes, arguably. Guardians Vol. 3 is by no means a bad movie, and I think it's proof that Gunn has the chops as a filmmaker by his own merits. Good artists can still be shitty people. We saw it with Spider-Verse, we see it here, we see it everywhere in entertainment.

[@denim_ak]

Dam 😕 disappointed to hear Gunn tried to pull a Paul Hogan. The plot continues to thicken.

[@maxlights6021]

great callback!!

[@denim_ak]

@@maxlights6021 the funny part is i had to google “crocodile Dundee actor” to make it lol

[@IronBeagle2003]

I am a fan of James Gunn but I gotta be honest it was pretty scummy of him to take credit away from Perlman. She gave the idea of the Guardians in the MCU in the first place. I feel like he probably wouldn’t this again considering how much he has grown, I hope he apologizes for what he did to Nicole because that’s actually kinda low.

[@haydenlane9600]

Chris Pratt as Starlord is an inspired casting but there’s still a part of me that would like to see Glen Howerton as the character

[@PizzaHutCEO]

He’s gonna have to give us the orb… because of the implication

[@JackDespero]

Just another classical case of "La flauta sonó por casualidad" (the flute made sound by chance). They struck gold, and they took all the wrong ideas from the success. They basically killed what made some of their movies memorable to turn them into merchandising ads, which in turn made them less profitable AND worse as merchandising ads.

[@motherplayer]

They felt too big to fail. That in spite of it all, they are a brand and people will always come back to a reliable brand. And now we saw how much that has shifted as of late that even being a reliable brand isn't a surefire key to success of some kind.

[@krisnantoprayogosantoso4033]

So, "human error" instead of bad luck?

[@sketchycat6223]

Studios always make the same mistakes. “Oh! This movie was popular so we’ll just make 20 more just like it!!” The rise comedy & coming of age films in the 2000’s, & the rise of superheroes movies, and paranormal horror, in the 2010’s. The 2020’s trends haven’t become entirely apparent yet but I’m sure with time we’ll be able to look back and see some patterns.

[@SortaNonymous]

15:11 "Taylor had his work CUT out for him." *Shows Ned Stark's head getting cut off* LOL

[@McHaro0079]

Not just that. 18:18 They cut out lots of Malekith's parts to make him less in depth, which is usually being critized as one-dimension. Poor 9th Doctor hardly voiced his complain about his treatments in Thor 2 for almost a decade until recently.

[@loathy4528]

These vids just never miss, especially since clint does everything.

[@ItWasAShtShow]

Accurate

[@oleandersilkwingleafwing8885]

You can’t just leave us with that Winter Soldier cliffhanger, man

[@daelen.cclark]

I didn’t know James Gunn wanted to hog all the credit like that. I’m really glad he’s trying to be better.

[@cherrynoodles5516]

as a woman who is a massive guardians fan and a fan of james gunn that was so disappointing to find out :( especially because i feel like gunn always creates the very three dimensional women characters who are just as (if not more) capable than the men around them. nobody is perfect though and i would like to think gunn has learned from this mistake. i think as a filmmaker getting his first big break with a company like marvel the greed took over and he couldn’t help but want the credit all for himself

[@JackDespero]

Yeah, that is quite disappointing, but then again, he was an asshole back then, and what matters is that he is trying to be better in general. Everybody deserves a path to redemption.

[@daelen.cclark]

@@cherrynoodles5516 Definitely understandable.

[@motherplayer]

@@JackDespero Indeed. Online discourse is way too in love with the idea that any misstep can never be redeemed. I understand some cases, but James is easily working to get away from that and should be acknowledged rather than keep throwing old stuff back in his face.

[@Whiteythereaper]

I'm glad to see most people are being level-headed about this. He really does seem to have humbled and grown over the last decade, I just hope he acknowledges this and takes responsibility and ownership of it when he is able to address it without the threat of the Disney Legal team nuking him from orbit for speaking ill of them.

[@Mackellen76_nongsak]

[@alexjheaton]

I’m going to need you to step up the cadence of these videos. Love the podcast but these mini documentaries are some of the most fascinating $#!T on KZbin. The tone, pacing, and degree of depth you go into are all, as some disgruntled dude in a mo cap suit once said, “Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.” Excellent video and addition to an already immaculate catalog of videos. Emperor’s New Grove is still my favorite but these avenger ones are pretty damn close.

[@pablosonic892]

Thank you. I broke an NDA to get the word out best I could. But, you can reach way more eyes and ears. Nicole, Rebecca and Dave deserve the lions share of credit. Shane Black too for putting up with so much shit. Kevin and Gunn are no architects of anything except credit-taking. And the James Gunn party cupcakes were delicious.

Also, you're telling me Iron man 3 and The Dark World coul've been..... good, like actually good movies that tell good entertaining stories but these comitee assholes nerfed them and almost ruined Guardians too but they let it slide bc they didn't give a shit about the project and tought people wouldn't give a shit either, almost hoping for a failure that would give them more creative power to ruin art inserting their senile product placement toy selling agenda.

I feel like some members of the creative committee should have stayed obviously the A**holes were rightfully kicked out, but without someone else to bounce his ideas and control off Feige just kept on thinking he could do no wrong. At one point seeing the successes he had with movies after the creative committee I would thought yeah he is always completly right, but that 3 year period (meaning from 2016 to 2019) of euphoria ended and reality is creeping in for fans. Feige isn't bad but he is just like Lucas or M night people who need other people (whether good or bad) to nudge in the right direction. P.S I knew from beginning there was no 10 year plan as Feige & other fanboys proclaimed. They just kept tweaking things as they went along and changed things that made no sense that's natural for any ongoing story.

Sounds like from watching this video and reading articles, Gunn did a substantial amount in giving the depth and details people love about Guardians to be worthy of credit. Now his tactics (if true) are pretty scummy and I hope he’s learned and maybe even apologized to Perlman. The crowd Gunn ran in back in 2014 was way different from now and I hope he’s reflected on this time and grown. That’s all we can really hope for.

[@NathanDrakeTheGreat]

That Nicole Perlman story sucks to hear. James Gunn definitely gives off an egotistical vibe. Not sure how he'll do Superman, but I could see his DC universe not taking off beyond the first few. His sensibilities are way too juvenile to sustain an entire cinematic universe on. The Guardians films work because they're a refresh from the rest of the MCU, if every MCU movie carried that tone it would wear thin extremely fast... Gunn better diversify the tone and pick the right filmmakers to helm his DC films, or it's gonna fail right out the gate.
