Stan Lee Brain storm & research



Stan Lee Brainstorm & Research

For this entry I will be covering Stan Lee, as  the phenomenal Film artist he was and sadly turned to a  avenger angel! back in 2018. I will be showing you my Mind map and my research, which will basically cover the phenomenon of the Marvel Comics and Movies created by this legendary! I will be talking about what movies he has created, what has inspired me and how his work has influenced me. I also created a time line based on the Marvel Movies releasing. the thing that made me want to look at Stan Lee it sounds ridiculous but seeing as we are doing idents, I looked at the marvel idents which had inspired me to research Stan Lee; here are some of the idents I looked at below

Timeline of each Marvel movie for when each movie was released
This is basically a timeline, showing the history of the marvel movies for when each movie was created (besides 2020 movies seeing as Covid 19 is the game of the unknown) anyway, I found this out using google researching each marvel movie from 2008-2019 and learnt this information that way. I also found that  there are timelines on google images but that's more on what order you should watch the marvel movies, though I did find one on the future marvel movies also... which I can show you, but won't be best relevant seeing as Stan Lee passed away in 2018, I wanted to focus more on the movies he made as opposed to the upcoming movies but seeing as I was curious I decided to look it up anyway and this personally excites me... here is a link I found for this information: https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/full-list-of-all-upcoming-marvel-movies/

Future Marvel Movies, My god... I Can't wait for Loki! 
My penciled Brain Storm for Marvel characters and movies created by Stan Lee
This brain storm is my thought process where I wrote down all of the marvel characters I could think of in a matter of minutes as well as ideas and components I had for if I were to create animation footage for Stan Lee. The characters and movies I have listed consists of the following movies below.


  • Iron man, 2008,  This was the first ever marvel movie, it is the frontline movie of the Marvel classics, which in basic words as most will know anyway, is about a rich scientist/business man named Tony Stark with a gambling addiction, creates a suit to help save the world basically and that suit turns Tony Stark from human to robot with many powers. Personally I would say this movie's target audience is for teens and adults of any age really, especially now because we see children watching these movies, especially now that they're on Disney Plus also, to be fair this movie has an open audience anyone can watch it... it is a matter of opinion and what that specific person likes in terms of movies and what they like in a movie, as in do they like action and adventure or romantic rom coms... basically this movie I would say is an action pact one, I would say more likely teens and adults are going to like this movie, for the action, the strong narration and the use of the graphics animation and well the art that comes along with putting such a classic sensational movie together. here is a trailer for Iron Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hYlB38asDY
Iron Man, 2nd May 2008
  • Incredible Hulk, 2008, The Incredible Hulk is basically about a man with a doctorate called Bruce Banner and he makes an experiment that he tests on himself that quickly goes pear shaped, and turns to what we call the Incredible Hulk, whenever he gets angry the green beast unleashes, I would again say this movie's target audience is from the teens and upwards in terms of age group, although I haven't seen the entirety of this movie so I cant say... but I have heard it isn't a likeable movie, it is one of the downfall Marvel movies, unfortunately where they didn't have the right actor for the role, considering now that we have Marc Ruffalow as the face of the incredible hulk we know today, weather or not the movie was good or a pile of dog dung, I completely respect the makings behind it... as it would of taken a lot of time and dedication to put a movie like this together as I am learning myself... it takes so Long to make 10 seconds of an animation... I feel for them, I would now say to someone well why is it bad and challenge them to some extent, mire for the making of the movie, if that's a reason to criticise as in the animation, the graphics etc. It is amazing how Many people it takes to put together a box office production, it astounds me, but I can see why! besides I feel the need to scrape the glass about that as for me it all depends on a matter of opinion really, as I have already addressed. As in, some people may of liked the movie, because of the graphics, the imagery the action pact footage and who doesn't like a green angry beast getting into some action... seeing as I have never seen this movie I can't say if it is good or bad, although I personally wished they remake the movie, with the Hulk we know and love today because Ruffalow is the Hulk we know and see on every marvel movie... though you never know... There is always the future. 
Here is a trailer for the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbqNb2PFK

Incredible Hulk, May 13th 2008

  • Iron Man 2, 2010, is basically a sequel to Iron Man,  which is about the world knows about the identity of Iron man, again the target audience for this movie I would say is quite open, asa say children are watching these movies at  home and on Disney Plus, there are teens and adults like me and probably most of my generation, most likely to watch this kind of movie as well as adults on the upper end of our generation, depending in what people like, do they like action movies like this? do they like the graphics and the motion image in this movie? do they like the fighting scenes? do they like the acting? (which I personally love every aspect of a movie after doing this course, I respect the hours, the time they put into making movies to make the world say wow, the art, the graphics, acting every segment I can admire in a movie, even if I dislike the movie, or not seen it- I have more gratitude for the movie and music world, for that reason as well as liking movies anyway) Or do people like a movie like dirty dancing... or a movie on the war, terrible examples, but I'm trying to say target audience for movies is hard to predict because it depends on the narration, what the front cover looks like, depending on the type of movie, anyone cab watch and enjoy movies of their choice so really its a subjective matter in my opinion, like you can't count the spots on the leopard skin... you know, like you have to scrap the surface, have an audience in mind yes... probably teens and younger generation adults, but what frightens me is this movie came out when I was 9 or 10 years old! Its freaky to say this movie is 10 years old! Anyway, onto my next point, this movie's audience is varied, depending on what people like in a movie, a lot of it like movies or music is a matter of opinion and personal choice,  depending on what they feel like watching. 



Iron Man 2, 30th April 2010
Thor, 2011- now I cannot lie, the Thor movies are some of my favourite marvel movies, I love the dialogue and the storyline, I love the making of the movie. the graphics are astounding, the CGI is effective in this movie, I love the acting, the narration, this movie is the cake with the cherry on top in my opinion... this movie is basically a story where we have two gods, god of thunder and the god of mischief  Thor and Loki- who fight to save their world, Asgard, from the menacing frost giants fighting to be the rightful future king. Like I say I have already said what I love about these Thor movies... I would say the target audience for this movie is subjectively aimed for those who are 12 and up and I think this movie is an open audience in a matter of opinion, I think target audience is a very contriversial matter, some ay say its aimed for men, not always- not all men like superheroes, some do- you could say oh elderly citizens won't like this movie... why not? they might like action pact adventure movies... anyone can decide themselves weather this movie is for them or not, same for all the other movies we see made and released everyday, it is a matter of what the person likes and dislikes really. I mean I personally love this movie so I won't be spitting any fireballs about it. Here is a trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOddp-nlNvQ
Thor, 27th April 2011
(Typo on the Timeline! I do apologise!!)

  • Captain America The first avenger, 2011- a military soldier is a bit of a reject and turns to Captain America after taking some soldier serum making him strong and powerful. tTis is an war and action film, that I have not seen this movie, so I cant say my opinion or  suggest the target audience for this movie but seeing as these movies are mostly suited to either 12-15 year olds on the age rate, I would suggest anyone who likes action pact movies and anyone who likes the Marvel movie series. There is one thing about this movie that I don't get is the title of the movie... most probably because I haven't seen it but why is Captain America the first avenger? when Iron Man was the movie made first... anyway, here is a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JerVrbLldXw


Captain America, the first Avenger, 29th July 2011

  • The Avengers, 2012- this was the first ever Marvel movie I watched, at the time I went to see it was at cinemas- I thought there would be allot of action in it, which there was so that's what attracted me... though when I first watched it, I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought, because I didn't understand the storyline... as I didn't watch these movies above first, but now that I have a better understanding, this movie is in fact very good and basically the first movie where they amalgamate and merge all the Marvel characters made in these four movies in a movie together, fighting Loki and the frost Giants, there is a lot of action in this movie as I have previously mentioned here is a trailer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOrNdBpGMv
Avengers, 26th April 2012

(These characters I intend to be focusing more about because they were the originals who made the avengers (sadly not black widow) as she has only just come out... and we can't currently watch it at the moment for obvious reasons and wasn't released when I came up with this idea anyway) 
But yes, anyway...  these are my ring leader characters I found the inspiration for my imagery to be based upon as I say because of originality and these movies gave or Stan Lee his big break basically, these are the classics and the origin of Marvel and the Avengers movie series. here is the opening of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbUVevG3kjU

The way I look at putting animation together with Stan Lee, I thought we are on a set time scale... therefore I would have to be careful as to how I will create, do I put each and every Marvel characters in... well, I did think about this... I thought yes that would be a good idea, it would be brilliant, but realistically I thought there are 22 plus characters in the Marvel movie series, I didn't know weather or not id have time... as I am considering recreating these characters in my art interpretation, I was unsure as to weather realistically I could get this done and make these characters look as accurate as possible... so i've had to knock that idea on the chin, as I didn't think it be realistically possible especially considering I didn't have many tests and other imagery under my belt, so I thought I should base this idea I had upon looking at the movies that made Stan Lee famous in the marvel movie industry- basically the movies that gave the big break.  In other words the original movies before the 2012 Avengers movies, one for time reasons and 2 it seemed more meaningful to captivate the main Marvel characters and it saves time as I say I was hoping to create these characters and Stan Lee as part of my imagery. I hoped to create my imagery the same way but in a cartoon way, in the way I can create and interpret this imagery I found inspiration in my imagery. So I looked at my imagery on google based on the Marvel comics. here are examples of what else I found inspiring for my imagery. 
Such as these images below. 




Here is another link too! (for Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Thor... not comic cartoon imagery)
