To start out, Yes i really am i going back to Christopher Nolan but he did leave a pretty good impression, but not just him, Bryan Singer, Sam Raimi, Marc Webb, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams and everyone else who makes sequels.
Now I'll be referring more to the Directors who have made Super-Hero films, because that is what this Article is about.
You who know Marvel films know this, They never stick with one director, its always changing up and that might not even be they're fault. But still the Dark Knight series is so good not only because the actors came back and the characters, But feel of the movie, Everyone loved the style film, the sound everything! They didn't just leave thinking, - "Man.. Christian Bale really brought it again!" but also - "I love the way that man makes his movies"
Bryan Singer, X-men 1 came X-2 came and unfortunately not X-men 3. But on the first and second people had that same feel they got from the first right?
Sam Raimi, every opening scene to the Spider-Man films everyone was like "Yes.." and that yes was mostly because, Yes.. Spider-Man is because, But also that "Yes" is referring to that same feel, that same song, that same opening sequence and that's because its the feel that the Director gave it.
Marc Webb is directing the second installment of The Amazing Spider-Man series and he's taking everything a step forward because he knows what he created from the start.
George Lucas made the entire Star Wars trilogy, and since he made every film and wrote every film it made you grow to love the characters he made (although they are his, and super hero characters aren't the directors, they still have creativity and originality to take care of as long as staying true to the comics)
I COULD GO ON, And the point I'm reaching is that Directors that take films and continue to make them, write them and behind the process of the trilogy (or more) and they Directors make you love not just the characters but the feel of the film.
MARVEL - now where Marvel comes into this is they are always changing up Directors like i said earlier, Now Iron man 1 & 2 were both made by Jon Favreau it hasn't been the same since.. Now i think we all know Iron Man 2 was kind of a flop but that was his fault and just because that was a flop doesn't make all sequels a flop.
Christopher Nolan made the Batman films his own, and here are some reasons why its good to have One Director, stay the Director over the time being of remanding time of those Characters until they end.
1. Not only the love of the Characters, but the impression the Director leaves, wanting fans wanting more of the Director's films (giving fans hope, not worrying if the movie will fit the director or not)
2. Originality.
3. Character Devolpment is stronger (guaranteed) which also includes better (Supporting roles) - (Hero's) - (Villains) - (small details which make characters all just so much better)
4. Leaving a signature.
(every sequel made by the same director normally has a signature to each film where you know it's the same guy, same feel)
5. Altogether a better film.
I really wish a really good Director chose to Direct Captain America, and continued to make Captain America films until they didn't want films anymore - ( Of course Joss Whedon would make all the Avengers )
So same goes for Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk.. and i really hope Edgar Wright wont stop making Ant-Man and James Gunn wont stop making Guardians of the Galaxy.
Cause they know more what they're dealing with, a Director can make a film good by just coming into it, But its also risky. But why take the risk? Don't you want to leave Captain America (any of the MCU Hero's) saying..
"Chris Evans was great, and oh man the Russo brothers worked they're magic again.. They never seem to disappoint"
Same goes for all the Films,
"Hemsworth!! SO GOOD, Alan Taylor nailed it."
Cause it makes you feel good, and not event that but it gives better chances at having Great Villains, Great Character Development and an actual full out story behind everything and that's something that Nolan did greatly.
So what am i saying? Phase 3 better have all the same directors and for the sake of the rest of the films surrounding the MCU, Never leave, Make these films your own by also staying true to us fans, and the Comics.
