Solid overview about Marvel superheroes

Warning: Spoilers
"Marvel 75 Years: From Pulp to Pop!" is a 42-minute documentary from 2014, so two more years only until this has its 75th anniversary. Director is Zak Knutson, nobody really new to the subject as he worked on other Marvel documentaries too. It is one of his most known works though. And it is easily the most known work for writer Laura Shields because she hardly worked on anything else. At least according to IMDb. Here the interviewees include several names of actors that play a (not so) major role in the Marvel Universe, also or especially on the small screen. But there's also guys like host Emily VanCamp in here or Jimmy Kimmel who do not necessarily have a great connection with the subject. Anyway, I think this is more for those who really like the superhero television shows and not for those who like the films and I count myself clearly more among the latter. Overall, this documentary does not pretend to be anything it is not, so Ill be relatively generous with my rating here, even if I did not really enjoy the watch and I can see how this has at least partially due to my subjective approach. You don't learn anything new from it either, but for Marvel fans it is worth checking out.
