Every Marvel Movie Poster, Explained

[amusix]

A Vanity Fair video from last month, thought it was an interesting watch. There's been discussions on movie posters here in the past, but it's nice to hear an expert weigh in on things.



What I found most notable is that, while most MCU posters fall into the 'OK' to 'Good' range (with a few stand-outs) it's clear that none are terrible. For terrible, at about 2:40, this guy hits Spider-Man Homecoming. Yeah, when Sony does the marketing, you get this shit:

He doesnt say anything interesting. They get an expert and have him point out obvious stuff.

His stuff is fairly obvious, but I found it a bit more interesting than the normal message board discussions on movie posters. Or maybe it's just less hyperbolic.

Ah yes, I hear Explained video's are all the rage now on the internet.

I love how that dude tries to make it so that it seems like there was a bunch of effort and thought in to these posters but most of them look like 5 minute cut and paste jobs out of magazines like we did in high school.

I could only focus on the fact that this guy looks like a double of Ringo Starr.

"Remember Star Wars posters? That but ugly." - a far more accurate analysis.

Jesus i never really looked to see how bad that spiderman homecoming poster is.

Theres some good posters, its just a shame we dont get comic book level posters.

I hope when we get a nova movie, they use this as the poster

I don't even view that homecoming poster as bad. Just generic.

And honestly. None of the MCU posters really wow me.

I don't think MCU posters are that great either but Homecoming and the X-Men ones are pretty garbage and I can't really see any silver lining in them, the weird nebula in Spiderman's black space just isn't well defined at all and it just looks so weird and confusing. I'm not against this tactic but it comes off as garbled and incoherent in that poster. The only posters I really enjoy in the MCU are the Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War ones to be honest.
