The Marvel Universe

The Marvel Universe

From the debut of the Human Torch in 1939 to the more recent debut of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel has been telling stories of fantastic, amazing, and incredible heroes for over 75 years.

These timeless comics turned blockbuster films have inspired generations to fight for good in the face of evil and find the superheroes within themselves.

Creating outstanding heroes

Creating outstanding heroes

  • Only dynamic, flawed characters can connect with dynamic, flawed humans.
  • Get inside your hero’s head and figure out what motivates them to do the things they do.
  • If your hero has nothing to fight for, your viewers have no reason to root for him/her. Show your viewers why they should care.
  • Show where your hero’s loyalties lie. If they can’t pick a side, your viewers can’t either.
  • Allow your characters to drive the theme of your story.

Supporting characters and villains

  • There is no such thing as an unimportant character. Secondary characters bring your hero closer to their goals or drag him/her further away.
  • Fully develop a formidable villain that viewers love to hate.

  • Some of the best dialogue is riddled with subtext. Don’t just state what you mean.
  • Only give your characters lines that they can deliver.
  • Well-timed comic relief breaks tension and keeps viewers breathing.
  • Appeal to your target audience with fitting pop culture references.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
