[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 256965, member: 23"] Ooh, interesting I can definitely see that would be the case with SFX and other production elements which all help to create belief, but would you also say that standards of writing and acting were poorer in the Seventies? In a way, it's surprising that it took so long for the films to do this, since the template for that was there with the source material and the way the individual and team titles overlapped in the Marvel Universe of the comics. Especially with the success of big crossover events in the comics from the mid-Eighties onwards. But then the timing was probably against it happening. With a couple of obvious exceptions, superhero films were out of vogue by the late Eighties and remained so for much of the Nineties. And it's natural it would it take a while for the early Noughties resurgence to gain scope and momentum. Prior to the MCU, I suppose the nearest we had to a live action shared universe were the late Eighties Hulk TV films which featured Daredevil, Thor and the Kingpin. [/QUOTE]
