Marvel civil war mark millar5/22/2023 ![]() In fact, Millar even once enjoyed dark superhero films, until he saw Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, which was so grim, so gritty, so dark, that even Millar - Mark Freaking Millar - was forced to reevaluate his superhero worldview. This isn't the first time Millar has incredulously panned a comic book movie for being too dark. I really hope this bleakness doesn't extend into their two Avengers pictures because what made that first Avengers work was the light as well as shade and I'll be sad if that's all lost like it was in this picture. ![]() ![]() It's interesting the Russos have a background in comedy because it's really missing in these otherwise well-made pictures and very, very missed. ![]() ![]() The movie in question was Captain America: Civil War, which, ironically enough, is based in large part on ideas from the comic he himself wrote in 2006 (though, in fairness, if a comic he writes doesn't get a movie deal before the first issue comes out, he probably stops paying attention).Ĭivil War had a good opening twenty mins, but then I honestly can't remember what the movie was about. Millar, whose movie pitches comic book ideas tend to ask questions like "what if Batman was the Joker," taking an already dark character and making him even darker, apparently felt that one Marvel movie in particular was a little too "bleak" for his tastes. ![]()
