Description
Avengers Assemble! Critical Perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Terence McSweeney explores the resurgence of the superhero genre in recent years. This single-authored monograph delves into the cinematic universe, examining its status as an embodiment of changing industrial practices and symbolic potency as affective cultural artifacts. The study begins with Iron Man in 2008 and spans ten chapters from diverse critical perspectives, analysing the franchise's significance in the turbulent political climate of their era. By exploring both the cinematic and televisual branches of the series, McSweeney provocatively examines what resonates with audiences worldwide. This book offers a theoretically informed interrogation of one of the defining film franchises of the new millennium, inviting readers to consider the relevance and impact of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
