This American franchise and fictional universe is centered around a multitude of superhero characters based on publications by Marvel Comics. The ground breaking and impressive success is untethered. With the Universe now in their "third phase" of films, Marvel has revolutionized the multimedia shared universe. It has inspired other film and television studios with comic book adaption rights to attempt to create similar shared universes. Yet nothing has matched what Marvel has created.
The Marvel franchise has impacted my life in the strangest of ways. Inspiring me to chase after experiences that makes me feel good and never stop dreaming. In 2011 and 2012, I flew from Hopatcong, New Jersey to San Diego, California to attend San Diego Comic Con. At SDCC I waited outside in the blistering California heat more than two hours to get a glimpse at never before seen footage and my favorite actors and inspirations. There I met many people I am still in contact with today and am able to make more friends by sharing my amazing and once-in-a-life-time experience.
