Quick note: This data will not change your life. At the very least, I hope it gives you a nice distraction for however long you read it.This is completely random (like my other data posts), but I thought it would be fun to see how much alone time each Marvel Cinematic Universe character is given in their standalone films. I also wanted to know which characters get the most alone time in the ensemble films (Avengers, GotG).Why? I wanted to which Marvel characters are allowed to carry scenes on their own and exist in their own space.What do I mean by “exist in their own space?” I looked for moments that focused solely on the characters. Take a look at the clips below for reference. I didn’t include one or two second takes, or conversations between characters that only have one person in the frame. For example, the fun conversation between Loki and Black Widow wasn’t included in The Avengers solo time, despite the fact that when they’re talking, they’re the only person in the frame.Here are some examples for you.Scott Lang deals with house arrest in Ant-Man and the WaspTony discovers a new element and shows off his biceps in Iron Man 2Captain Marvel falls into a Blockbuster Video in Captain MarvelSpider-Man is stuck in a warehouse in Spider-Man: HomecomingThor has a weird ride in Thor: RagnarokCaptain America puts a hurting on punching bags in The AvengersDoctor Strange shaves in Doctor StrangeThe first chart focuses on the minutes of alone time the main characters have in the 23 MCU films.Iron Man 1-3 – Tony Stark/Iron ManThe Incredible Hulk – Bruce Banner/HulkThor 1-3 – ThorCaptain America 1-3 – Steve Rogers/Captain AmericaSpider-Man 1-2 – Peter Parker/Spider-ManAvengers 1-2 – Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, ThorDoctor Strange – Dr. Stephen StrangeBlack Panther – T’Chalia/Black PantherAnt-Man – Scott Lang/Ant-ManAnt-Man and the Wasp – Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Hope Pym/WaspCaptain Marvel – Carol Danvers/Captain MarvelGotG 1-2 – Starlord, Gamora, Groot, Rocket, Drax, NebulaAvengers 3-4 (OG Avengers, GotG, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, Wanda, Vision)The average is 8 minutes.The next chart focuses on non-ensemble films (No Avengers or GotG).This is how I calculated each main character’s “alone” time. I watched the movies again, counted their solo screen time, then divided it by how much actual screen time they had (Thank you IMDb). Here’s an example:Captain America has only 90 seconds of alone time during his 38 minutes of Captain America: Civil War screen time. So, that means he’s only alone for 3.95% of his screen time in Civil War.Here’s another example. Tony Stark/Iron Man has 16 minutes and 25 seconds of alone time during his 77 minutes of Iron Man screen time. So, he’s alone on screen for 21.31% of his screen time in Iron ManThe average is 13.6% per movie.The next chart looks at the percentage of screen time of the major players in the MCU. Here are the characters and the movies they appeared in (that I counted).Captain America – (Captain America 1-3, Avengers 1-4)Iron Man – (Iron Man 1-3, Avengers 1-4, Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming)Thor – (Thor 1-3, Avengers 1-4)Black Widow – (Iron Man 2, Avengers 1-4, Captain America 2-3)Hawkeye – (Thor, Avengers 1, 2, 4, Captain America: Civil War)Hulk – (The Incredible Hulk, Avengers 1-4, Thor: Ragnarok)Ant-Man – (Ant-Man 1 & 2, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Endgame)Spider-Man – (Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man 1 & 2, Avengers 3 & 4)Captain Marvel – (Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame)Black Panther – (Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers 3 & 4)Wanda – (Avengers 3 & 4, Captain America: Civil War)Doctor Strange – (Dr. Strange, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers 3 & 4)Groot – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)Gamora – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)Starlord – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)Drax – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)Rocket – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)Nebula – (GotG 1 & 2, Avengers 3-4)How I came up with the percentages – Captain America has had 204 minutes of screen time in Captain America 1-3 and Avengers 1-4. In those 204 minutes he has 15.45 minutes of alone time. So, 15.45 divided by 204 = 6.28% of solo time. Basically, he’s alone for only 6.28% of his total screen time.The average is 7.35% per characterThis chart showcases the overall minutes alone for each major MCU character.The average is 10.4 minutes of alone time per characterOne last chart! I thought it would be fun to see their percentage of alone screen time when compared to the movies running time (without credits). So, alone screen time divided by the movies running time (without credits).https://ift.tt/3aWmwD2 life changing question – Does the amount of alone screen time have an effect on Box Office or Tomatometer scores?Tomatometer AveragesMinutes and Tomatometer average0-5 minutes – 83.7%5-10 minutes – 84.6%10+ minutes – 85.8% – More alone screen time equals a slightly higher average. Iron Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Endgame can be thanked for this.Percentage of Time and Tomatometer average0% – 10% – 86%10% – 20% – 79.6%20%+ – 87%Domestic Box OfficeAlone Minutes and Domestic Box Office0-5 minutes – $411 million5 – 10 minutes – $362 million10+ minutes – $421 millionPercentage of Alone Time and Domestic Box Office0% – 10% – $349 million10% – 20% – $321 million20%+ – $357 millionLesson Learned – MCU movies, on average, make more money and have higher Tomatometer averages when the characters have more alone screen time.Conclusion:MCU Character with the Most alone screen time – Tony Stark/Iron Man (53.8 minutes) – It makes sense considering he’s been in the most films and doesn’t have a group of a-holes to hang out with.MCU Movie with the most alone time – Spider-Man: Homecoming (20.5 minutes and 26.97% of all Peter Parker/Spider-Man’s screen time) – Tom Holland is a super likable actor, and the movie gave him plenty of opportunities to be alone. Check out the scenes here, here and here.MCU Character with the highest percentage of alone time – Doctor Strange (16.90%) – He’s only appeared in four films, however, his percentage of alone time trumps all. It makes sense, Benedict Cumberbatch is an excellent actor, and Doctor Strange is about him finding his way after an accident. His personal journey from jerky surgeon to Sorcerer Supreme provides lots of time to be alone.If you like this weird data make sure to check out my other stuff on RedditMovies featuring snowmobile action scenes are way cooler than movies featuring jet ski action scenesAnalyzing the unnecessarily large trap in PredatorsHow long did it take The Joker's henchmen to build the cash pyramid in The Dark Knight?Brad Pitt eating and box office numbersJCVD and his splitsHow Far Did the Shark Travel in Jaws: The Revenge?Matthew McConaughey's massive jump in Reign of FireHow Far Does the Creature From It Follows Travel?People love a bearded Kurt RussellTracking the Merman's Murderous JourneyMichael Myers road trip in Halloween H20Stellan Skarsgard's journey in Deep Blue Sea was gnarlyHow Fast Can Leatherface Run?Jet Ski Action Scenes Are the WorstA Breakdown of the Events Leading Up to Sam Jackson's Demise in Deep Blue SeaThe Fast & Furious & CoronaHow Did the Geologist Get Lost in Prometheus?How Long Does it Take Horror Villains to Travel From NYC to San Francisco?Michael Myers Hates Using His Turn SignalCan Jason Voorhees teleport?How Long Did the Joker Need to Setup the Weapon Circle in Suicide Squad?How Much Time Did Batman Need to Setup the Bat Fire Symbol in The Dark Knight Rises?How Much Sand Did Elektra's Sandbag Trainer in Daredevil (2003) Require?Breaking down The Mariner vs. Sea Eater battle in WaterworldAnalyzing the Posters for Nicholas Sparks' Book AdaptationsHow far Did Nic Cage Run Around in a Bear Suit in The Wicker Man Remake?How Many Bullets Missed John Matrix in Commando?How Much Blood Poured Out of the Sprinklers During the "Blood Rave" in Blade?Michael Myers Loves Doing LaundryDolph Lundgren and His Front KicksKevin Bacon and His Collegiate DegreesHow Many Calories Did Shaggy and Scooby Doo Ingest When They Ate the Cotton Candy Glob? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2XeSWVt
