7 great hits from superhero movies in 2017

After the long awaited release of the Justice League, the list of superhero movies of the year came to an end. In 2017, the subgenre went through a more mature style when we last saw Hugh Jackman as Logan, we know the Web-Head universe in the hands of Marvel Studios, we cheered for a baby tree against powerful cosmic beings, we saw the beginning of the Wonder Woman's struggle for humanity, we laughed at the Nordic apocalypse, and for the first time the biggest comic book crew met in theaters. The six adaptations had very positive points, so let's highlight them.

1. Logan's main trio

Hugh Jackman's farewell to the role of the Canadian mutant was already a giant feature in making the character's latest solo movie take on a different mood. With the success of Deadpool, Fox took the courage to make a feature film for over 18, which allowed director James Mangold to create a new drama to Marvel's cashew, especially by incorporating road movie and western styles into the slightly inspired adaptation. at HQ Old Man Logan.

Part of the success of the film is the maturing in the changing universe of the plot, as many of the superhero movies are much funnier and uncompromising. Logan is no longer that efficient killing machine of yore, no matter how efficient he still is in fighting his adamantium claws. Mentally and physically, the mutant is ill, surviving as a driver to be able to buy Professor Xavier's vital medicines, played better than ever by the excellent Patrick Stewart.

The telepath's health problems create an even greater friendship between him and the protagonist, creating a relationship similar to that of children who need to take care of their end-of-life parents. This family relationship gets more intense with little X-23 (Dafne Keen), who later tries to take care of the weakened Logan. When the trio are together on the scene, the family feel gets stronger, either with the three of them at the hotel or at the family dinner table they help.

2. The design of the vulture

Logan didn't wear the classic yellow comic book uniform on the big screen, just received a briefcase with the outfit, spawning a fan service about the outfit on the character's second long solo. In other situations, the ideal is not to adapt the content of comic book pages in the same way as Spider-Man's Vulture (Michael Keaton) : Homecoming, as the villain's original version is not threatening.

In addition to the consistent look and feel of the Marvel Studios universe due to the Chitauri features, the villain's design has upper body aviator details, particularly the helmet and shoulders. All flight equipment is enhanced from the concept of comics, as simple wings could seem unconnected to that world. The concept of flying gliders allows for several frames in which photography makes Adrian Toomes's apparatuses even more threatening.

3. Peter Parker's youth

Something the two previous Spider-Man franchises failed to represent with quality was a Peter Parker school term. Tobey Maguire was very old, as were the other actors who appeared in high school, which does not give the exact feeling to fully believe it. Andrew Garfield didn't have as many striking scenes as a student, and he looked a bit cooler than expected for the protagonist's basic characteristics.

In Homecoming, there's more screen time to develop Peter Parker's youth played by Tom Holland. The young man shows up going to the party, being bullied at school, attending various classes, going to the high school prom and even combining schedules of pure fun with his friend Ned. This essence of adolescence becomes even stronger when the school program is broadcast to students.

4. The Fate of Yondu

Yondu (Michael Rooker) had once been a character with plenty of screen space in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, but nothing that developed him very effectively. He just looked like a special criminal who had been some sort of Peter Quill's "foster father" (Chris Pratt). However, in volume 2 of the Milano Tribulation, the spoiler gained more importance in the plot and participated in memorable moments.

The antihero stands out by sharing a screen with Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) versus his former commanders, grows up in the third act alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, participates in the joke with reference to Mary Poppins, sacrifices herself to save the Lord of the Stars and still has the most touching death in the Marvel Film Universe - all the more so given that the studio gives no weight to these situations. The final minutes of the feature still carry an unusual sadness burden for the subgenre, with a memorable funeral.

5. The Wonder Woman Symbolism

Gal Gadot was highly praised in Batman v. Superman: The Origin of Justice, being one of the few points in the movie that pleased much of the public and critics, especially for the great appearance of combat along with its very emblematic song. However, it had not been well developed in the plot, something that was completely solved in the heroine's long solo.

To make the character gain real importance, the script worked the symbolism of feminism in the subtext, something that is clearer in the dialogues involving the protagonist and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) or when she is in a totally different civilization from the one she was in. created. In addition, the plot makes it a bigger symbol when fighting the Germans in the trenches and saving the innocent from the crossfire generated by the war.

6. Thor's look : Ragnarok

The humor of the third Thunder God movie has generated controversy for some, but it is rare to find anyone who complains about the look. Although there are some moments when the green background is quite evident, there is much merit in the production of the film in relation to scenarios, striking moment frames, costumes and even the psychedelic posters.

From the very first trailers, whenever Hela (Cate Blanchet) appeared confronting the Valkyrie, there was a virtually perfect frame for what the story wanted to tell. Script and visual harmony. The costumes created for the reformulation of the characters live up to the repagination that they need to pass to the text, but what really shines are the practical effects for the construction of the environments. Asgard and Sakaar have beautiful scenes because of the exquisite development of the environment, especially when using the features of Jack Kirby to bring the place to life.

7. A new Superman

Everyone knew that Superman (Henry Cavill) would be resurrected in Justice League, especially given that Batman v. Superman had already signaled that this was about to happen. However, he returns disoriented and ends up confronting future teammates. This clash shows how powerful the character is, as he can defeat all opponents with such ease.

However, this is not the most important of his return. The hero's behavior is much more proactive towards the good of humanity, and he becomes much more charismatic, and understands how important his actions are to Planet Earth, and embraces the concept of his chest once and for all. : the hope. Much remains to be explored in a feature that emphasizes the positivity that the Kryptonian brings to the world, and this was once a giant breakthrough for a character that was being badly worked by Warner Bros.
