Le Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) est une franchise médiatique américaine et un univers partagé qui implique des productions de films de super-héros et de séries télévisées. Ces productions mettent en vedette divers super-héros titulaires; ils sont produits indépendamment par Marvel Studios et sont basés sur des personnages qui apparaissent dans les bandes dessinées américaines publiées par Marvel Comics . L’univers partagé, tout comme l’ univers Marvel original dans les bandes dessinées, a été établi en croisant des intrigues, des décors, des acteurs et des personnages communs.

Les séries cinématographiques et télévisées de l’ univers cinématographique Marvel (MCU) présentent de nombreux personnages centraux à travers ses phases. Les trois premières phases sont collectivement connues sous le nom de “The Infinity Saga” et sont suivies de la phase quatre.

La première phase est centrée sur six personnes qui deviennent les Avengers – – Tony Stark , Steve Rogers , Thor , Bruce Banner , Natasha Romanoff et Clint Barton . Les autres personnages centraux incluent Nick Fury , le chef du SHIELD , Phil Coulson , un agent de haut rang du SHIELD, et Loki , le frère adoptif de Thor dont les plans pour atteindre la domination mondiale incitent Fury à assembler les Avengers. ^[2]

La phase deux se concentre à nouveau sur les six Avengers et Fury originaux, mais cette fois avec les nouveaux membres James Rhodes (introduit dans la phase un en tant que personnage secondaire), Sam Wilson et Wanda Maximoff (tous deux introduits dans Captain America et le soldat d’hiver ), et la Vision (créée par Tony Stark et Bruce Banner dans Avengers : L’ère d’Ultron ). Cette phase présente également Scott Lang (Ant-Man) et les Gardiens de la Galaxie , qui incluent Peter Quill , Gamora , Rocket , Groot etDraxe . ^[2]

La phase trois ramène chaque personnage central de la phase un et de la phase deux. Cela commence par une guerre civile entre les Avengers causée par les différences idéologiques entre Captain America et Iron Man ; ils sont rejoints par Bucky Barnes (introduit dans la première phase), Scott Lang, T’Challa (Black Panther) et Peter Parker (Spider-Man). L’origine de Nick Fury est révélée tandis que le rôle antagoniste de Loki passe à un rôle plus neutre, Thanos (introduit dans la phase un) devenant le principal antagoniste de cette phase. Hope van Dyne (introduit dans la phase deux) rejoint Scott Lang en tant que partenaire de super-héros ( Ant-Man and the Wasp ), Stephen Strange et Wongsont présentés comme membres des Maîtres des Arts Mystiques ( Doctor Strange ), et Mantis et Nebula rejoignent les Gardiens de la Galaxie (Les Gardiens de la Galaxie Vol. 2 ).

Cette phase conclut les arcs narratifs de Stark, Rogers, Romanoff, Loki, Gamora et Thanos. Les versions alternatives et passées de ces personnages reviennent dans la phase suivante à des degrés divers.

La phase quatre traite des retombées de la saga Infinity sur la vie des Avengers restants, tout en introduisant de nouveaux héros tels que Shang-Chi , Marc Spector et Steven Grant (Moon Knight et Mr. Knight), et les Eternals (dont Sersi et Ikaris ). La trame de fond de Natasha Romanoff ( Black Widow ) et Peter Parker face aux conséquences de la révélation publique de l’identité secrète de Spider-Man sont explorées ( Spider-Man: No Way Home ), Wanda Maximoff apprend à débloquer tout son pouvoir en tant que Scarlet Witch et les conséquences de ce faisant ( WandaVision ) qui la conduit finalement en conflit avec Strange (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ), Sam Wilson est aux prises avec les difficultés de devenir le prochain Captain America accompagné de Bucky Barnes ( The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ), et Clint Barton passe le flambeau de Hawkeye à une jeune protégée nommée Kate Bishop ( Œil de faucon ).

Reception

The depiction of adapted and original characters in the MCU has been generally positively received,^[282] with the portrayal of superhero protagonists mostly positive. IGN opined, “With heroes ranging from super-spies to super-soldiers to space raccoons, the MCU has gifted us with some of the most memorable champions in movie history.”^[283] Meanwhile, reception of the MCU’s depiction of its villains has been more mixed, with some media outlets coining the term “villain problem” to describe this shortcoming.^{[284][93][285]} Collider described the villains as “Achilles’ heel” of the shared universe,^[286] with Phase One and Phase Two most commonly criticized for having weak or unmemorable villains.^[287] The villains of Phase Three were hailed as an improvement over the villains of the previous two Phases,^[288][289] while villains of Phase Four have also been praised.^[290]

In an analysis of the MCU’s villains, Michael Burgin of Paste opined that it was “probably still fair to say their track record has been less consistent with the bad guys than with the good”, believing that this was due to “a reluctance to embrace the established look and character of the villain” and the differences from their source material.^[284] Angelo Delos Trinos of Comic Book Resources further elaborated on this, opining that “the MCU has been widely praised for its characters and storylines” but has “mistreated some villains and wasted the potential they have in comics”, remarking on the wasted potential of some of the supervillains within the franchise in comparison to their comic book counterparts.^[291] Alternatively, Looper described the MCU’s villains as “fairly compelling criminals”,^[93][292] while Eric Diaz of Nerdist described them as being unappreciated despite being the weakest part of the franchise.^[292]

Some villains were more well received than others, with Screen Rant elaborating on which villains were “loved” and “hated” from the fans of the franchise.^[293] Carolina Darney of SB Nation explained, “Some of the villains — hello, Vulture — are fantastic. They’re well-rounded, they have depth, and there seems to be a method to their madness. Then there are the other villains. Their backgrounds aren’t particularly explained, you’re not entirely sure what they’re doing — looking intently at you, Malekith — and motivations seem weak at best.”^[294]
