WHO'S YOUR SUPERHERO DAD?
With Avengers: End Game at the back of everyone's minds and mouths, it's almost impossible to ignore how far the storyline for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has come. Over a period of almost 12 years starting with 2008's Ironman, Phases 1 to 3 have passed and we're now entering Phase 4.
While most movies are fantastic on their own (staying true to the ethos of the original comics while offering sheer entertainment value), it is the linking of each character and storyline into this mind-boggling labyrinth of a universe that truly fascinates – we're certain an omniscient being masterminds this. (Check out this amazingly comprehensive, interactive guide by the Straits Times)
Meanwhile, masterful storytelling involves not only impressive macro-planning and foresight but also insightful character development – the reason we love or hate certain characters. We've come to know each superhero not only for their special abilities but also what makes them tick and what values they believe in.
