This consists of interviews with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on),clips from the MCU films, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.

It's 43 minutes long. This is found on Disney+. It spoils a lot of the movies, and so will this review, so that I can go into more detail.

They talk about creating Marvel Studios, so that they could guide the adaptations themselves. Getting Jon Favreau, and the leads. The jump from Iron Man to a team-up. Doing a manhunt story for Hulk, like on the TV series. Using Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. to connect the separate entries. Using humor to ensure the audience have an easier time accepting the fantastical elements of Thor. How complex and interesting Loki is. Making good use of the Tesseract to tell compelling stories. Why Steve is chosen to become Captain America. Ensuring that we can see some of Tony in Howard Stark. Bringing all of the individual heroes together in The Avengers. Upping the stakes after that. Making it more personal. Showing what happens next. Doing One Shots. Explaining what happens with Abomination after we saw him last. Agent Carter. All Hail The King. Coulson returning in Joss Whedon's 2013 effort. Winter Soldier and exploring Rogers being stuck in the present, dealing with things no longer being black and white but morally grey. The Guardians of the Galaxy and doing something unexpected. Age of Ultron and introducing the Maximoffs. Doing different subgenres.

I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10

"Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe" is a 43-minute documentary from last year that takes a look not only into the movies starring the Avengers, Captain America, Thor etc., but also takes an insight into the short films and the television series that became popular in recent years. This, however, is also the only positive aspect I see in here. I did not find this a particularly informative documentary and I really did not like how full it was of itself throwing superlatives at us from start to finish. There is little in here that will be new to you if you have seen the films and shows on television. I am actually a bit of a fan of the films as I love watching a quality superhero film from time to time, but this one still did not do a lot for me. Maybe you have to be a really huge addict, one that goes to Comic Con etc. to be able to appreciate this. Everybody who does not belong to this target group can skip it. Not recommended.

This isn't as much a documentary, but instead a rundown of how it all started and how marvel did something that had never been done in movie history up until that point - To create a cinematic universe. We see all the great actors, directors, writers and so on, give their first impressions on the big Marvel project. We see how that unfolds as we slowly ramp up to the newest movie to release back in 2014, when the "Documentary" was released.

We do stay at surface level through whereas I would have liked it to be more like a real documentary, to dive into the conflicts, the downsides or real battles that everyone had to face. To see what happened behind the scenes as these movies were released, instead they brush all of that away and focus on the great things they have done to create the amazing cultural phenomenon it is in 2021, and will surely continue to be for years to come.

Marvel have reached the same height as pop culture, where everybody know the names of Iron man, Captain America or Spiderman, no matter if you're old or young. If you love Marvel go watch it as they show where it all started, and how they created the amazing universe we know as the MCU to this day.
