Daily Dot:
Basically, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” was too good to mock. And as it turns out, there’s a reason for that. The film’s directors are fans of Honest Trailers, and they purposefully engineered the film so it would be harder to parody.
In a recent interview with Collider, Winter Soldier directors Joe and Anthony Russo were asked how they felt about achieving a positive Honest Trailers review.
I’m a huge fan of Honest Trailers and love the fact they had a positive influence on a summer blockbuster.
The Marvel franchise is showing the entire entertainment industry how to do superhero movies and tv properly. Self-awareness is a key ingredient. I appreciate writing that relies on fewer clue hammers and less skip-logic.
