AI Imagined MCU If It Was Created During the Golden Age of Hollywood
What if legendary actors from the last century put on superhero costumes?
Superhero franchises are on the rage these days, it's undeniable. But we all know it wasn't always like this. There were times when the superhero genre lived in the realm of comic books and animated shows.
But what if such massive franchises like Marvel Cinematic Universe existed and flourished back then?
While some superhero films like Superman were indeed released in the 60s, it wasn't anything compared to modern superhero movies.
A Reddit user shared AI-generated posters for Marvel movies if they were created during the golden age of Hollywood.
Although there's some contention as to when the golden age began and ended, most critics agree that it existed in some capacity from the late 1910s into the early 1960s.
The first thing that catches the eye is how stylish these posters are. They've got that old-school style that filmmakers used to apply back in the day.
