Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe was built on the shoulders of its comic book counterparts, Marvel is surprisingly hesitant to hire comic fans as MCU writers. It is not a stretch by any means to imagine that anyone affiliated with the MCU was probably nose deep in the comics growing up. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is famously a superfan, and having him in charge of the franchise was a big reason that it was as embraced by audiences as it has been.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY However, Nate Moore, who has been a producer on many MCU films from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, reveals that being a major comics fan is a red flag when it comes to hiring MCU writers. Moore tells all about the magic behind Marvel on the podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni, and among many interesting behind-the-scenes looks is the reason why he opts against hiring diehard Marvel comic book fans.
For me, one thing I think is interesting [about Marvel’s process], and specifically for writers, I would say, a lot of times we’re pitched writers who love Marvel. And to me, that’s always a red flag.
The greatest example of this might be most apparent in the Thor franchise. Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder was void of anything resembling a personality in his first MCU outing, which is not far off his comic book counterpart. The humor almost exclusively came from the "fish out of water" trope that comes with being from another planet, which was a shame, given Hemsworth's natural knack for comedy.
It would seem this news would break the hearts of any aspiring MCU writer who grew up loving the comics. However, it is hard to argue with Moore, who merely states that he and the rest of Marvel value those who can look at the source material as a resource, rather than as gospel.
That's dumb. People who have read the source material have the understanding of it. Someone who's never read it will not understand the character. That's why you get people who think Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are similar when they aren't.
NateMoore is into beastiality.
I look forward to the day when Nate Moore is no longer employed by Disney/Marvel because he has no comprehension of what people that enjoy this kind of entertainment ACTUALLY WANT. The personification of blindness and a slave-like devotion to woke ideology. YoureFired
Here's the full quote, folks, Screenrant left out a lot of details.
This is the logic Fox used for a few of the xmen movies. We all remember how that worked out. So, MarvelStudios please don’t bollocks it up like they did. There’s a wealth of source material, use it! For all character paths. Comics MCU
That’s stupid. It’s totally okay to be a fan of the source material while being creative enough to think outside the box. You should be required to have a healthy respect of the source material. Keep the characters true to themselves and keep in line w the broader picture
If you’re hired at Apple, I hope you have no preexisting knowledge of computers.
Inalways think they should just hire the marvel comic writers only!!
Seems like a strange business practice given they are based on the Comics
Exactly why those movies suck. CGI isn’t a plot point.
No they want someone who can shit Out a script in no time. Two weeks was how long multiverse of madness script took to make and it shows.
Yeah, the showrunner behind X-Men '97 was right. If you're not a fan of the source material, you have no business being on the writing team.
For those of you complaining, Tony Gilroy fucking hates star wars, but made rogue one and Andor what they are
And this is why ladies and gentleman, the mcu is going downhill.
It's just like WWE,according to an ex-writer and some of the superstars a lot of the writers for Raw and Smackdown have little to no Wrestling experience or knowledge.
people grew up reading those comics and watching the animated shows. They already have a pre-existing idea of what the material should be. Should things be translated word for word, look for look, onto film? No, but the heart of it should stay true to the source material.
And that, my children, is how we ended up with eternals.
Yet that 'pre-existing' is what consumers look forward to; to see comic book events play out on the big screen. Wanting somebody who's 'hard on the material' makes no sense. if you want original, don't make a story based on marvel comics. EASY!!
