《鋼鐵俠》漫威電影宇宙的傑作
The Marvel Cinematic Universe grows just a little bit bigger and usually a whole lot weirder with every new movie and TV show that slides in front of our eyeballs。隨著一部又一部新電影和新電視節目衝擊我們的眼球，漫威電影宇宙（MCU）將變得愈加龐大、異乎尋常。
When the original Iron Man came out back in 2008， the world he lived in seemed pretty grounded in reality。第一部電影《鋼鐵俠》（Iron Man）於2008年上映，影片中，鋼鐵俠所處的世界似乎和現實生活極其吻合。
The strangest thing that could possibly happen in that film was a rich guy deciding to build himself a suit of armor in a cave to become an international vigilante，可能影片中最奇怪的事情莫過於一位富豪決心在山洞中為自己打造一身盔甲，並化身義務警察，then fight another rich guy in some other armor who wanted to be an even worse international vigilante。而另一位身著盔甲的富豪想成為更為可怕的國際義務警察，二人進行了一番戰鬥。
We’re still waiting for Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to throw down and televise the whole thing on Facebook Live。
畢竟我們都期待著埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）和馬克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）互相翻臉，然後在臉書上。
So how has the MCU kept feeling as real and fun as ever？那麼，漫威是如何保持一貫的真實感和幽默感呢？
The man in charge of just about all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s designs over the past decade sat for an exclusive interview with us查理在過去的十年裡負責所有漫威電影的設計工作，他在接受我們的獨家採訪時，
to talk about how and why Iron Man was actually the perfect superhero to kickstart the MCU as we know it。講述了將鋼鐵俠定為最適合啟動漫威電影宇宙的超級英雄的過程及原因。
“What was good with Iron Man is that it laid a foundation for what is tech on earth。 How do we ground it to earth and to things that we understand？
“鋼鐵俠的優點在於他奠定了地球科技的基礎。我們如何將這一點同地球、同我們所理解的事物掛鉤？
Tech is something easier for us to sort of， we use it every day， right？”融入科技元素對我們來說更容易接受，我們每天都離不開科技，不是嗎？”
He explained that Iron Man’s connection with technology is a convenient starting point for audiences to find a connection with a world that looks a lot like our own，他解釋道，將鋼鐵俠同科技關聯起來是一個切入點，方便觀眾與影片中的世界產生共鳴，因為那個世界看似和我們所處的世界非常相像，
That helpful foundation revealed that， despite Iron Man’s then-reputation as a lower-tier comic book character， he was the perfect choice to kick off Marvel Studios’ cinematic ambitions。這是一個很有幫助的點，因此儘管在當時的漫畫角色中，鋼鐵俠的名聲略顯遜色，但他卻是漫威稱霸影業的最佳開始人選。
“Most people would have thought like why are you choosing a character that is sort of just a kind of a B character in the Marvel Comics world？“很多人都會想，為什麼你要選一個在漫威漫畫世界中的次要角色呢？
But you know I think that was a smart move。”我卻認為這是個明智之舉。”But technology isn’t the only reason Iron Man was such a strong choice for Marvel’s first film in a shared cinematic universe。但科技元素並不是支撐漫威選擇《鋼鐵俠》作為第一部電影的最強有力的原因。
Even though we all use phones and computers every day， very few moviegoers are also jet-setting billionaires。
雖然我們每天都用電話和電腦，但很少有觀眾和鋼鐵俠一樣是億萬闊佬。
to help audiences connect with the film， as well as the world it shows on-screen。
這樣觀眾就能和這部電影以及電影中的世界建立聯絡。
“So it was great getting Iron Man situated and then having Robert Downey in that role。
“能把《鋼鐵俠》搬上銀幕，然後讓小羅伯特·唐尼出演這個角色，真的很棒。
It was， you know， it was amazing。 He kind of is that character。
這簡直是，不可思議。他就是鋼鐵俠本人。
It’s all the flaws that he sort of just puts out there， right？ How do you make that character and that world more relatable and less scary？
他詮釋了所有的缺點，對吧？但你如何讓這個角色和這個世界更加融合，而看起來又沒那麼可怕呢？
It’s not a Superman character where it feels maybe too perfect and too alienating and hard for people to resonate with that somebody with lots of flaws。
這個角色不是超人，不需要太過完美，否則就會覺得太有距離感，不能有太多缺點，這會讓人很難產生共鳴。
Once Iron Man established the baseline of the MCU’s reality， the studio could start to explore bigger， weirder ideas。
《鋼鐵俠》建立了漫威電影宇宙中現實世界的主線，工作室隨即著手思考更偉大、更離奇的創意。
Marvel Studios’ third movie was 2011’s Thor which happened to be the first film Charlie Wen worked on at the company as the head of design。
漫威影業推出的第三部電影是2011年上映的《雷神》（Thor），這是查理·溫執掌設計總監期間拍攝的第一部電影。
As it turns out Marvel Studios itself wound up doing just that by releasing Iron Man and Thor so close to each other， since they’re literally worlds apart。
事實證明，漫威影業就是這麼做的，他們將鋼鐵俠和雷神的故事緊密結合，而他們本屬於完全不同的世界。
