That weird poster is totally on purpose, they're criticizing, or making fun of how the super hero movie posters are made and how they're just so redundant and nonsense and we usually don't pay attention to those weird details
Because he isn’t a high profile actor or someone when the audience has seen before. That movie only cared about showing us that Peter was apart of the MCU lol
Thor Ragnarok is by far one of their best, the colours are so vibrant and the placement is genius. It’s amazing especially when comparing it to the other Thor posters which weren’t as exciting.
David Lopez I have the slightly suspect that he didn’t watch all the movie, he doesn’t know some of the characters names, or powers and can’t describe really the plot. It seems he isn’t a fan of marvel to be honest
@@AlvaroIbacacheS I personally think that it's a good thing. That way, he could break down the posters as they are, what the posters are trying to advertise, etc. I also think that he's pretty much neutral (as in, not biased), which to me, is really interesting to watch
Personally this feels a little more like a description and comparison than an explanation, it would have been nice to know a little more about why those decisions were made I think? Especially in the case of the Spider-Man homecoming poster,

@@beatrizribeiro2417 He delved into the reasons for the overall layout of the pisters including placement of characters/text in relation to perspective, themes, and color schemes. He talked about poster's style in relation to the theme/genre of each film and how it draws the viewers focus in a specific direction. He gave examples of influence for each poster based on the genres each film represented. What more did you want that made it deeper?
@@monsta6501 i just felt like the things he said where obvious by an untrained eye, character being on center or being bigger than other meaning they are more crucial/important/relevant and this like that
There's also the 3rd poster with Spidey crouching in the foreground, Vulture in flight mode behind him as if he's swooping up behind Spidey and then a tiny Iron Man of to the side. Personally that's my favourite Homecoming poster as there's a lot of kinetic energy going on with the Vulture as if we're right in the middle of the action scene. Iron Man however just seems included for no other reason than marketing and isn't part of the action. Without him that poster would've looked much better.
I find the poster of Thor Ragnarok really good, the colors make it standing out, it's insane! The others are very good too but the color and composition of this one make it my favorite!
Indeed it is. I also think the first Avengers movie poster is very bad as well. They just cut out every superhero they had at that time without much thought behind it. The colour tone of it is as bland as it can get and it doesn't look cohesive since everyone is in different positions and looking somewhere else.
yeah me too like why is everyone hating ;/ yes he is stating the obvious but he also explains the reason/things behing them that many of us might not now, it's all very interesting honestly
He meant biggest headlining actor of the movie the avengers, not the avengers team...If you really wanna go there he says Cap is the main character when talking about Ultron/The Avengers comics
@Dragon Born It doesn't. If it did, he would've beat Cap in Civil War. Instead, the MCU has been mainly taken over by writers Markus and Mcfeely (wrote all 3 cap movies and Infinity War and EndGame) and Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and EndGame have been directed by the Russos, who started their MCU career with Cap as well. Those 4 hold Cap very close to their heart, which is why he is the main character in EndGame. RDJ is only 2nd simply because of box office numbers and overall stardom since Chaplin days.
I just finished watching 45 minutes of movie poster analysis by James Verdesoto. It was educational. But the only poster that I saw that I will remember forever was the one for Anatomy of a Murder. That poster said so little, and yet said so much (perhaps the picturesque movie title made the poster possible.) That poster is still challenging my mind. By comparison most of the other posters were crowded, repetitive, formulaic, uninspired and eyelid-closing. And I don't think the movie Anatomy of a Murder could be as good as its poster, but I still want to see it now, because of the poster.
Groot is wearing his angry shouting face "A very heartwarming baby Groot in his shoulder..." Whiplash "new villain that's going to take iron man to the *next level* "
Yeah. It's so people recognize that it's "their" movie. Being able to recognize who a movie is by based on a one/two second look at a poster is important for studios like Marvel.
@hunnerdayEDT if you look closely... you will find that even most of their movies are very same-y. there are few out standing ones too but the similarities just dont end at the posters.
What I'm getting is that Marvel went less and less traditional as time went on, looking less and less at how it'd been done by others before. They're setting their own trends now, with Black Panther's geometrics, Wasp's diagonal design and the 1000 characters of Infinity War etc, and rightly so. What they're doing works.
If only this guy were my Graphic Design teacher, he made it fun to sit through this video. He gets it, he knows that in posters, you can tell a story without giving away too much of the actual story in the film. He sees that there is a structure to them as well.
To all the people complaining about him not going into depth and instead only explaining the obvious: I don’t think he lacks the ability to do that, I think frankly the posters lack the depth to do that. He works with what is there and gives a visual analysis. There’s just not that much there. If you look at him in other videos you’ll notice he explains much more and draws comparisons to art styles of other eras, factors in budget decisions etc.
honestly, i don't like any of the marvel posters. they're (almost) all just basically heads in the sky in different configurations. the captain marvel poster was a nice surprise and gave me hope for future posters but then it all went back to how it was. the endgame poster is just the same old heads in the sky i despise.
You could tell that he really loved the Thor Ragnarok Poster the most. He wasn't super critical of it and really just emphasized that it is appealing, colorful and eye-catching.
I LOVE Spiderman Homecoming and I've never seen that poster before - seeing it now, I'm glad I'd avoided it previously. I much prefer the one where he's lying on an angle with the blazer over the spider suit, and the NYC skyline in the BG. It makes way more sense with the film.
I am a big fan of the MCU but i gotta say, not a fan of their posters. The teaser poster of spiderman, for example, was much better than the official one. The posters of Thor Ragnarok and Black Panther were great though.
This was pretty fun. I liked it. But I like the part where he's saying it's a New York environment when he's clearly referring to San Francisco on the Ant Man poster.
Since there are many people saying that they can do better, I really want VF to actually invite them and go head to head with this professional and describe these posters. I want to see if these concepts are really easy as they say.
7:10 when he says "each character is looking off frame", draws the line of sight for everyone but draws a line in the complete opposite direction for Black Widow lol
Dude seems really informed and knows the MCU pretty well, nice to know they didn't just find anyone to do this, they actually found someone that cares about the movies and the characters AS well as the posters xD
He Makes drawing circles and squares look professional idk why
Because he is professional.

Thank you.
I just realized why isn't Ned in the Homecoming poster? He was in the movie way more than Happy and MJ

I think they wanted to tell the whole story in the Homecoming Poster. A poster shouldn't tell the whole story it should give you a taste.
Also it had way too much Iron Man in a Spiderman poster that was ridiculous.
i think he didn't watch any of the movies, considering he described iron man's repulsors as "his superpower in his hand" lol

The one he analysed is the theatrical poster while the one you're talking about is just a promo/teaser poster.
The one you're talking about is the 1st promo poster while the one he's analysing is the theatrical poster
It’s not. They did used the one with him laying down more often though. My guess is because the official poster was terrible.

Top 3 MCU posters
1. Thor Ragnarok
2. Infinity War
3. Ant-Man & Wasp
Agreed
@Hvaddafuck4 No they're not.
Infinity War was filled with way more elements. They were forced to it, because of obvious reasons.
Ant-Man and the wasp's poster was so colourful... Wish the movie had lived up to that. The only really pretty scenes were the quantum realm scenes.
ElricBro infinity war is busy but na
ElricBro they are basically the same poster
I find the poster of Thor Ragnarok really good, the colors make it standing out, it's insane! The others are very good too but the color and composition of this one make it my favorite!

Indeed it is. I also think the first Avengers movie poster is very bad as well. They just cut out every superhero they had at that time without much thought behind it. The colour tone of it is as bland as it can get and it doesn't look cohesive since everyone is in different positions and looking somewhere else.

Would be cool if he used the Ant-man poster where it's just a tiny Ant-man front and center with a white background
MainAccount that’s ant man and the wasp
Both movies have posters like that.
They did that for first Antman! I thought that was amazing!
I also liked the ones where they kinda shoehorned the avengers
By using their props for posters of Antman
Between that poster and the ANTS! commercial, Ant-Man became one of my favourite MCU heroes.
everytime he drew on a poster i screamed a little. such beautiful posters, i want all of them! also, amazing editing! this was really nice to watch!
