Long-Form Storytelling Lessons from the MCU (Live Geeky Gab Podcast Recording)

ROOM 603 - Authors

Friday May 31, 2019 - 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm


Join Geeky Gab podcast hosts Melissa Koons and Thomas A. Fowler for a live recording of their podcast. Become a part of an episode looking at long-form storytelling and how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has captivated us all. From setting up individual narratives to paying it all off with "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame," they'll be joined by an expert guest Ayla Larsen to break down how Marvel has us all eager for their next installment after a decade of storytelling. Even with missteps like "Thor: The Dark World" or "Age of Ultron," we keep coming back for more and showing that superhero fatigue has not set in. What do these movies do from a storytelling perspective to make us invest in the characters, increase the stakes, and celebrate the bonds of characters like Winter Soldier and Captain America. We'll look at how they plant seeds for the greater narratives while ensuring audiences feel strong catharsis from each individual installment, crafting their universe to the point every studio is striving for their own cinematic universes. Join them, and you may even win signed copies on writing heroes and villains as we'll be giving away some of our writing series, "Porcelain Prompts."
