Over a dozen Marvel heroes are teaming up to battle the forces of evil. Theres Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, as well as Iron Fist, Wasp, Hulk, the Guardians of the Galaxy and many others. However, this isnt unfolding on a movie screen, its happening for real in a massive arena. This is Marvel Universe Live Age of Heroes and its oddly familiar. Thats partially because the whole shows looks like what a kid would do if they had all these characters as action figures, throwing them together and imagining a crazy battle royale. Its big, bright, loud, and decidedly not for adults, with a tone and story thats directly aimed at young boys and girls who just want to see a bunch of different Marvel heroes kick butt and buy a toy on the way out. And thats fine. About 3. Doctor Strange thoroughly explained the plot while flying around on a pair of strings against a big projection of space, it was obvious I was not the target audience. That plot revolves around a Doctor Strange originating macguffin called the Wand of Watoomb, which is in the possession of Guardians of the Galaxys Yondu and is being hunted by Loki. Loki has hired Nebula to steal it for him and, if he gets it, the world will end. The Guardians of the Galaxy are on Nebulas tail, then the Avengers, and the result is multiple storylines featuring teams of heroes, traveling all across the galaxy to stop Nebula and Loki from using the Wand to end the world. Honestly, its a little confusing but you dont really need to understand it. The show is mostly set up to get a certain group of characters mainly two teams of five Avengers each and the Guardians in a unique location, put some bad guys in front of them, and then do a ton of acrobatic stunts. As I was watching Spider Man swing around on a rope while Black Widow did motorcycle tricks and Rocket Raccoon fired his gun, I couldnt help but think of the movies and how most all of these characters will be in the same movie, Avengers Infinity War, next summer. Notable exceptions are the Waspas far as we knowand Iron Fist, who is on Netflix. The show features a scene on Asgard when the Avengers and Guardians finally meet up and Captain America makes a comment about a talking raccoon and a walking tree. It was at that moment I realized maybe this show would serve as a good barometer of how Infinity War is going to play out. How one crafts a story that fits in so many characters. In Marvel Universe Live, the result is some of the characters get short changed for example, Spider Man gets more lines than Black Panther. But the arena show only features around two dozen characterswont the same thing happen in the film which will feature more than 6. Wont it be way, way worse Of course, far more care is taken a major movie than a show that makes prominent use of trampolines. Weve also have 1. Avengers Infinity War, which means it wont have every character say their name when theyre introduced. Which is something Marvel Universe Live does a lot. A reasonable facsimile of the dialogue Oh, Black Cat, its you, and you brought Rhino, Electro, and Green Goblin along with you. Yes we did, Spider Man. Honestly, I rolled my eyes more than I laughed during Marvel Universe Live, but the kids around us loved it, which is the point. They cheered, they munched away at their popcorn, and they bought a ton of toys at the many, many merch booths. Its well staged, and has some impressive stunt work and effects in it. Plus, its like 9. Just know this isnt the movies. The characters arent exactly treated with the nostalgia some people feel for them. It feels more like what what parents thought of comic books before geek became mainstream. That theyre silly little stories for their silly little kids that theyll grow out of. Parents are much more likely to enjoy their kids watching Marvel Universe Live than the show itself, but it does pose plenty of food for though as we move ahead with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The show is currently touring through 2.
