Words matter. These are the best Jeph Loeb Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
Putting any show on television is a challenge. I’ve been very lucky to work with incredible showrunners on ‘Smallville’ and ‘Lost’ and ‘Heroes.’ I hope to bring a lot of those lessons to Marvel live television.
Believe it or not, every Marvel character is someone’s favorite character. There’s a fan out there who absolutely believes that their character should have their own television show.
When I grew up reading comics, the part in the Marvel universe that was so exciting was that you could have a battle going on in ‘Iron Man’ and then, suddenly, Thor would fly overhead, and you realized, ‘Oh, it’s all one place.’
We all have things in our lives that are terrible: you apologize for them; you wish you never had you name on it. But ‘Teen Wolf’ is something that I’m very proud of.
One of the things that I really admire about the Marvel motion pictures is that, in one year, ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier,’ which was a taut political thriller, and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ which was a cosmic comedy, came out, and they could not be more different, and yet they both felt very Marvel.
It’s such an enormously challenging process to make any kind of television. It’s stressful and works towards getting the best out of creative people.
Every generation has their favorite Spider-Man television show. For a lot of us, it’s the one that has the song, ‘Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can.’
The thing that makes us root for Spider-Man as he swings across the city is that he’s either having the time of his life or worrying about whether he’ll be able to get a good grade on that English paper or whether or not he’s going to make it home in time for Aunt May to make his dinner.
I went to Columbia film school; that’s where I met Matthew Weisman. We then became writing partners, graduated, and moved out to Los Angeles. I didn’t know a soul.
I started working as a movie writer and a movie producer… all the way back to ‘Teen Wolf’ and ‘Commando.’ All of those experiences, plus working both at DC and at Marvel – each of those things are bricks in the wall.
There is no one who is more conflicted in the Marvel Universe, in my opinion, than Matthew Murdock. Is he his father’s son, or is he the son of his father? Is he someone who is going to solve the world’s problems in a court room, or is he someone who is going to solve the world’s problems with his fist?
Batroc is a laughable character. I’m the one who always makes fun of him.
I really do see everybody at Marvel Television as storytellers. They might have different titles, but whether they’re actors or they’re showrunners or they’re somebody that answers the phone, all of them are storytellers.
