Forget about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania for a while and prepare yourself for an entirely different superhero skirmish. In the face of James Gunn‘s meteoric rise at DC, fans have begun to wonder whether Marvel’s head honcho Kevin Feige still has what it takes to lead the charge.
Well, kind of. This isn’t so much of an Avengers-level threat, more of a Mandarin/Trevor Slattery type thing.
The truth is — this newly-forged franchise battle isn’t going away anytime soon, and watching these heavy hitters duke it out is exactly what people have been hoping for (God help them). Frankly, the answer to their difference in creative approach makes perfect sense, so quit complaining and just be happy we have two incredible ways to watch our favorite heroes save the day.
What makes Kevin Feige the mastermind he is, is exactly the type of approach harped on above. The man is a producer, a businessman, a big-picture kind of guy, oh, and he’s just an entirely different human being — so that’ll make a difference too.
Fans of both DC and Marvel have shown up to this Reddit thread posting like heroes through a Doctor Strange portal, and honestly, they’ve got some good points.
Feige’s fostering of the creatives working for him is exactly why Marvel has grown into the most successful franchise the world has ever seen, and why it continues to crank out hit after hit.
James Gunn is a creative. He’s a writer, director, and storyteller with an eye for entertainment. Gunn deals in moments, and that is exactly why he’s been put in charge of DC Studios. The DCU needed someone to focus on character, fun, and the unforgettable.
Kevin Feige has been calling the shots at Marvel for more than 20 years, while James Gunn just took over. Giving the guy a little time to establish himself is probably the right thing to do.
In the end, these guys approach filmmaking with entirely different styles, and that’s okay. Feige is about collaboration, and making sure that the “we” of it all is taken care of. Gunn using his own personal sensibilities to try and bring together a universe that has been widely disjointed for the better part of a decade — it’s just different. That’s it.
Thankfully, online discussions like this one give us hope that fandom can still have a respectful exchange, and at least agree on the most important point — we freakin’ love superheroes.
