In 1977 the first Marvel live-action production hit the airwaves as The Amazing Spider-Man crawled up walls and into our living rooms! The following 21 years were filled with ups (a few) and downs (a lot), but as the new century lingered on the horizon, Marvel had finally figured out how to make their properties work in live-action features, beginning with Blade!
Paul Brian McCoy has painstakingly gone back and watched all of the Marvel live-action productions from 1977 to 1998, taken notes, done a little extra research and has put together a film-by-film breakdown of what worked, what didn't, and tried to figure out why in each case. Marvel at the Movies (1977-1998) features discussions of
The Amazing Spider-Man (1977)
The Incredible Hulk (1977)
The Incredible Hulk A Death in the Family (1977)
Doctor Strange (1978)
Captain America (1979)
Captain America Death Too Soon (1979)
Howard the Duck (1986)
The Punisher (1989)
The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988)
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989)

Captain America (1990)
The Fantastic Four (1994)

Blade (1998)
So cue up your VCRs -- if you still have VCRs -- and settle back to relive the wonders of Marvel's low-budget feature-length live-action television and film experiments and see where the wonders of today originated.

Marvel at the Movies 19771998 edition by Paul Brian McCoy Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
My impression is that the writer is unfamiliar with comic books and the super hero genre. This reads like an assignment he didn't have any real interest in or feel for. Trash.
By now, Marvel's track record of turning comics into blockbuster movies is well-known, but it wasn't always that way. This book (actually a compilation of articles) documents the pre-2000 history of Marvel movies, which is about as far removed as possible from their post-2000 successes. I was (still am) a fan of the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno "Incredible Hulk" TV show, so that caught my eye, but it was far and away Marvel's only live-action success for many years. Hard to imagine now. Worth a read if this subject interests you at all.
