LOS RUSSO SOBRE LAS DIFERENCIAS ENTRE INFINITY WAR Y LAS OBRAS DE STARLIN

Parte del fandom sigue creyendo que una buena ADAPTACIÓN de un cómic es aquella que convierte más viñetas en fotogramas.

Frente a eso, la verdadera genialidad del MCU es ser fiel al espíritu de los personajes y los cómics, pero modernizándolos y haciéndolos de nuevo ORIGINALES.

Guiños y huevos de pascua, aparte.

We’re inspired by the books, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not the Marvel comic book universe.

They’re different. As a comic book fan, I think it’s fun to take elements from the books that I identify with. 

But if I want a literal interpretation, I’ll just read the book. I think that Marvel jumped off with this cinematic experiment that they started 10 years ago with a narrative that diverts from that.

So we wanted to fulfill storylines that we’ve set up in Captain America: Winter Soldier and Civil War that we want to carry forward into Avengers: Infinity War and the next one; but not necessarily do a literal interpretation of Jim Starlins’ book. 

But there are great ideas in that book, and we owe a lot of the movie and what’s behind the movie to Jim.

But it’s been important for us to find connective tissue that the audience can relate to and has emotional connection to based upon what they’ve seen before. As far as fan service goes, every fan wants something different. You can’t please all fans.

 We’re fans, and we love making these movies, and we loved comic books growing up. So our mandate all along has been that we’re going to make something that pleases us, that we’re happy with and that we’re excited about and that we want to share with people. 

Then we keep our fingers crossed that everybody’s as excited about it as we are.
