Hideo Kojima was confused by Captain America: Brave New World; And highlights a amazed problem

Hideo Kojimathe legendary games of games behind Solid metal AND Stranding of deathRecently watch Captain America: Brave New World And he moved away from it feeling a little lost. Not in the immersive world of the MCU, but in its tangled narrative.

After seeing the film in Imax, Kojima took X to share his confusion, highlighting a growing problem for Marvel Studios: are these films still accessible to the random public or have they become too dependent on the Disney+ series to fill the gaps?

Kojima shared on social media: “I looked at Captain America: Brave New World In Imax. I vaguely remember Sam who received the shield EndgameBut when did you officially become Cap?

“It’s because I haven’t seen The hawk and the winter soldier? And what are it about reorganized avengers? I’m also mixing with the Thunderbolts trailer.”

His questions have cut themselves directly in the longtime debate … the amazed films can still be alone or do they require homework? While Avengers: endgame Set Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) Like the new Captain America, The hawk and the winter soldier managed the heavy lifting by exploring his struggle with the cloak, his dynamic with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and the introduction of characters such as Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) and Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lightly).

If you skipped the series, some of Brave New World’s The beats will certainly feel disconnected. I know many people who don’t watch Disney+ Marvel shows, but watch Marvel films. So, I received phone calls from some of those people who asked me what they lost why New brave world It was confused for them.

Now, this is not the first time that Marvel is based on its streaming content to create a movie. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness shot by WandavisionAND Wonders collected right where Ms Marvel left outside.

But Kojima’s reaction is saying … if someone known for creating intricate and stratified narratives New brave world Difficult to follow, what does this say for the general public?

In addition to the concern is the performance at the box office of the film. After a strong fall of 68% in its second weekend, obtaining only $ 28.3 million at national level, it is clear that New brave world It is fighting and must reach a minimum of $ 450-500 million globally to break even when explaining marketing costs and theatrical revenues.

There is an irony in Kojima, a creator famous to weave dense and heavy stories, struggling with the expanding continuity of Marvel. But his confusion reflects a problem, the more the wonder asks the public to keep up, the easier it becomes for casual spectators to stay behind.
