The progression of Marvel

Marvel is a very popular franchise. Marvel Corp. has created an entertainment universe that has brought millions of fans from all over the world. When Marvel first emerged on the scene, it had a specific audience of children from ages eight to thirteen. Now people of any age have started watching the movies. In a matter of twenty years, Marvel has more than tripled their age group.

Their movies that date back from the 2000s have been very popular. As the years have gone on, they have increased their amount of fans, the amount of money made, and the time added to make all the special effects look realistic.  Marvel is preparing for tons of new Marvel characters and movies and is currently continuing shows for popular characters from movies that were watched thousands of times. Marvel is such a growing and fast adapting brand. They have been in the lead against all brands such as DC and Dark Horse Comics. 

Today there are tons of superheroes that were thought up by Stan Lee himself until his passing on November 12, 2018. Before his death, Stan Lee made cameos to add an extra fun bit of humor to every Marvel movie. People not only enjoyed the surprise appearances but even came up with fun ideas for what he should do next. 

All the actors are family, and supporters and fans are nothing short of family too. The Marvel community is more than a fandom, it is a place where people with large imaginations get to fly for a day. It’s a place where people can be anything they want to be. It’s a world of imagination built off of one idea from a very intelligent man. Progress made by those who honor Stan Lee is what will help the community continue to make ideas come to life.
