Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Aliens (1986): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Aliens ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The frozen-find cold open structurally echoes the discovery sequence that opens Aliens.

Iron Man 2 (2010): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The Stark Expo of the 1940s is the origin of the Expo seen in Iron Man 2, now as the full World's Fair version.
    “Like what we see in Iron Man 2, but now it's like the full like 40s World Fair version.”

Truth: Red, White & Black (comic): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Truth: Red, White & Black (comic) ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The one-off serum process loosely connects to the Truth miniseries retcon about earlier black experimentees.
    “Truth is a book that essentially theorizes that there was like a Tuskegee airman.”

Black Panther (2018): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Black Panther (the host's read). Vibranium, the shield metal, leads to Wakanda; adamantium is the X-Men analogue the MCU couldn't use.
    “So instead they use vibranium as their super metal.”

Captain Marvel (2019): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The film goes back to the Steve Rogers style of origin story.
    “here's how Steve Rogers became a super soldier style of storytelling.”

Chris Pratt: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they were tied to as wanted to direct: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Chris Pratt (the host's read). The beefcake shot of Pratt echoes Chris Evans out of the tank, and Marvel now puts one in every trailer.
    “It's Chris Evans coming out of the tank, Captain America.”
