Hello people,

A fellow student and I are doing some research for a school project. The question we are trying to answer is more or less this:

"How did the recent trend around Marvel movies achieve such an important role in today’s pop culture/movie industry, what role did transmedia storytelling play in this ordeal, and what are the predictions for the future of this trend?" (recent trend: since the first Iron Man movie)

As a part of our project we need to approach an internet forum and analyse the opinions we get there, these opinions will be consulted when answering our question.

Some sub questions that we hope to answer as well: - What happened to Marvel as a company after the recent trend took off? - How is this trend affecting pop culture? - To what extent is Marvel's acquisition by Disney playing a role in the popularity?

We would really like to know your opinions on all this.

Kind regards, Daniel Collignon
