Captain America: Civil War, Fandom, and the Viewing Experience

Captain America: Civil War, Fandom, and the Viewing Experience | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

 

Christy Admiraal:  "There’s no question that anyone who considers himself or herself part of a fandom will have a different read on a piece of media from someone on the outside—whether it’s due to taking in all supplemental material, shipping a certain pairing, participating in fan theorizing, or some combination thereof—but exactly how does their experience differ from a reader or regular viewer who’s never dived any deeper into non-canonical material?"

AGENTS OF SHIELD: AGENCY, INSTITUTIONS AND TRANSMEDIA SERIALISATION

AGENTS OF SHIELD: AGENCY, INSTITUTIONS AND TRANSMEDIA SERIALISATION | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Joseph Oldham:  "Whilst certain ‘high-end’ television series are routinely praised for bringing supposedly ‘cinematic’ values to television, it seems to me that the Marvel series doing something which might be conceptualised as the reverse, porting modes of serialised storytelling that have been prominently developed on television over the last few decades into a popular film series."

Why Marvel's 14-Year Movie Plan Should Cause Concern For Warner Bros. [#Transmedia] | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Jeff Gomez:  "More than another action-packed superhero romp, “Winter Soldier” serves as a primer in successfully structuring and steering a sprawling franchise, and stands as a warning to rival Warner Bros. and its DC superheroes that old school one-off tent pole development is becoming a thing of the past."

Marvel at Netflix: Intersecting Comics and Transmedia The Nerd Machine

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


The Nerd Machine:  "Not content with ruling the big screen when it comes to comic book movies, Disney/Marvel has inked a rather epic deal with Netflix: four series with 13 episodes each, all leading up to a final team-up miniseries" ....

malek's curator insight, November 9, 2013 10:53 AM

a great strategic move: 2nd tier heroes who won't make it to big screen deployed for TV shows. Spinning an old asset is always one of the best marketing decisions you can make.

Disney/Marvel has inked a rather epic deal with Netflix: four series with 13 episodes each, all leading up to a final team-up miniseries. The subjects of those series: Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. And if that wasn’t a sweet enough deal for fans, the deal is also part of a broader arrangement between the two that grants Netflix exclusive, first-run subscription rights to Disney and Marvel films - See more at: http://www.thenerdmachine.com/marvel-at-netflix-intersecting-comics-and-transmedia/#sthash.VrVc0Tpb.dpuf

This is pretty amazing news. Disney has always been a leader in expanding its product into new markets.

No, not that Gambit, Shaun.


Spoilers for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ahead.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Michael R. Underwood:  "When Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD was announced, there was excitement, there was wariness, and everything in-between. An ongoing TV show as a tie-in to a powerful superhero franchise? This was something new, something different."

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013 | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

After a stellar year in 2012, what's next for comics?  Hint: there's a lot of transmedia storytelling involved.

Andrea Deydén's curator insight, September 20, 2013 6:03 PM

Bastante interesante. Me gusta ver estos cambios, en especial porque poco a poco se empiezan a ver las fusiones entre los estilos estadounidense y japonés (hell, yeah, me refiero a Avatar: La leyenda de Aang/Korra).

 

Personalmente, me encanta que los cómics empiecen a usar más esta plataforma. No que no lo hubieran hecho antes (Marvel luego te engancha para que descargues libremente el número 1 de todos sus cómics y luego ya te vende los demás) o que no hubieran existido plataformas para hacerlo (Comicrack!!!). 

Como sea, me parece que estas tendencias son perfectamente observables hoy día y que podemos ver a dónde hacen evolucionar al cómic sin grandes temores a que echen algo a perder (además de la línea editorial de DC, is that to say)
