What do you love most about Marvel Studios Films?
I could write some long essay or something about my viewpoint on this topic. However, for me, the quotes below mostly summarize what stands out to me about Marvel Studios and why (for the most part) I love their films.
“We love all of our movies to stand apart. We love that Guardians Of The Galaxy is a full-on action-adventure science fiction film, and that we sort of have techno-thriller elements in the Iron Man films. The new Captain America film, The Winter Soldier, is a political thriller. So, we don't believe that the “superhero film” is a genre unto itself. We love taking sub-genres and putting them together and then adding the superhero elements into other genres of film.“ - Kevin Feige
“It told not only Hollywood but I believe the world, that we are serious about telling great stories and we have great characters and we are going after the best actors for these roles.” - Louis D'epositio
“Everything was coming together all at once and it had helped push the envelope a little further. We had a group of talented people and we did something that was kind of an unproven entity.“ - Robert Downey Jr.
“Marvel Studios is going to take all of their top super heroes and they're going to put them all together in The Avengers. That's the most ambitious movie I've ever seen.” - Robert Downey Jr.
"“I'm excited about what I believe that Marvel (Studios) is trying to do, which is to continue to go outside of the most obvious characters.“ - Chris Hardwick
I took these quotes from the TV Special Marvel Studios: Assembling A Universe that came on months ago on ABC.
Because Marvel Studios is willing to be versatile, take risks, and most importantly maintain a level of overall content & respect for great storytelling/characters they stand out IMHO from other studios attempting the same kinds of movies.
EDIT: To complement my OP, this article suggests that future Marvel Films will take even more risks: http://www.inquisitr.com/1421587/marvel-skipping-origin-for-dr-strange -absolutely-wants-black-panther-captain-marvel-flicks/
