Photos, Videos : Disneyland Paris Marvel Super-Heroes Season Debut With Enhanced Shows and Super-Heroes Meet and Greet!



At Disneyland Paris the Season of Marvel Super-Heroes started today and thanks to Mx, D&M contributor and DLP Welcome webmaster we have pictures and 4K videos of the shows!

Lot of people today at DLP WDS for the start of the new seasons with long waiting time, up to two hours for the Marvel characters meet and greet, specially for Captain Marvel.






Right at the entrance of the Studio 1 a big Captain Marvel statue is also greeting the guests.




Among the different shows, the Marvel Super Hero United stunt show who started during the previous season is back at Studio Theater, with a new lighting by Lighting Designer Tim Lutkin, who did the lighting of the Mickey and the Magician show, and it looks to me and Max that he did a great job. In addition the new lighting helps to don't see the cables allowing to have some Marvel characters "flying" over the stage.

The object looking like a kind of flying saucer which was flying above the spectators is now only suspended over the guests but not moving anymore - apparently or probably for security reasons.
The other drones are according to Max a bit smalle rthan last season, allowing to better see the lighting effects. According to Max, the show is much better than last year even if the  storyline is always one for a stunt show, i.e a bit primary.

Have a look to the full new show with the first 4K video below!





The other show "Stark Expo, For a Better Future"  is located on the oudoor stage and according to Max is "super!" with Red Skull, Loki, Black Widow, Spider-Man et dancers ( good or villains ) plus Captain Marvel! Have a look at the full show in the 4K vidoe below but it looks to me better than last year too. Note that there is too a "Dance with Guardians of the Galaxy" show, also on the outdoor stage, on which Groot appear for the first time, but the video will be added soon.




If Max could not shoot pictures of the Captain Marvel meet and greet because of the two hours wait time he did shot pictures of the one with Spider-Man which still had one hour wait ( without reservations ).



The New York yellow cabs below were previously at the Hotel New York and now serve as background decor.

Captain Marvel Review



I've watched in theatre two days ago "Captain Marvel" and, although Brie Larson is better than i expected, the film is far to be perfect. I suggest that you read the review from the BBC here which is very close to what i think about the movie.

In short, about Brie Larson / Captain Marvel: "Playing an insecure, self-doubting, slightly lost superhero is not an easy trick to pull off: vulnerability and invincibility don't generally go hand-in-hand. The fact that Larson convincingly portrays both, simultaneously, is testament to her talent and those with whom she interacts."

And: "The interior life of Carol Danvers, which ranges from self-discovery to a philosophical questioning about the nature of female empowerment, overshadows all else and makes the action sequences appear as afterthoughts.
Maybe that is the trajectory of Marvel movies: more introspection, less action. We'll find out soon enough when Avengers returns next month featuring Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. Has she done for the MeToo movement what Black Panther did for African American cinema? Is Captain Marvel as culturally significant as that first ever Oscar-winning MCU film? No, in short.
It is not as good a film.
I very much doubt it will follow in Black Panther's award-wining footsteps. But it is not as far behind in terms of reflecting a shifting attitude in Hollywood as some would have you believe.
This is an incarnation of a thoughtful superhero who operates on her own terms, or, seeing as we are in the mid-'90s, knows how to assert her girl power."

I add that i always have a problem when i see Aliens speaking or behaving like Earthlings like it is the case with some scenes with Jude Law and a Krulls family later in the movie. A special note for the incredible "de-aging" effect that was done on Samuel Jackson, returning as a younger and "gentler" Nick Fury, the result is pretty amazing.

Even if Captain Marvel had a very strong "first day" start, i doubt that it will make as much money as Black Panther, i'm not even sure it will reach the $Billion at the box-office although Disney's marketing campaign and the fact that it is a woman super-hero could help it.

Stan Lee fans will be happy to hear that Stan is having one last cameo in Captain Marvel as well as a special tribute to him in the short Marvel opening logo. And yes, there is a post-credits scene, so make sure to stay to see it. Captain Marvel will also be part of Avengers : End Game released next month. The BBC review gives three "stars" only to Captain Marvel, and so do i.
