Excellent book for every marvel fan - must have for children - except beware of spoilers

My 8 year old son absolutely loves this. He has pretty much memorized every page.The book covers all the major marvel characters and a surprising amount of the various supporting characters as well, which is nice. For each character there is at least a full paragraph description and a few pictures of relevant scenes they are in.My only warning is that if your child gets this book he/she will end up knowing some major plot points and what happens to some major characters, before they see the movie. In my son's case it did not affect his enthusiasm for these movies one bit. He always has his book by his side when he watches a marvel movie and has the book turned to the appropriate pages.

Super cool! Good for Marvel fans of all ages

I have to admit, I bought this as a full grown teenager. Now, they say encyclopedias are for kids, smart people, and losers. But here I am. None of the above. Its a great book and especially good if you like pictures.Update: they asked me about the age of the person I bought the book for was...

Gives character backgrounds.

My daughter loves the MCU movies and has a ton of questions. I did not grow up a fan of super heroes. This book helps answer the questions she has about the characters origins. The only issue is that this book seems to have been released before Endgane, so based on a few events of that movie, it is a little out of date. But that is a minor issue and it is still a great book. I still give it 5 stars. I can’t fault a book for a movie that came out after it was published.

Basic information but some things I didn't know. Good pictures.

**SPOILER ALERT** This book spoils some of the movies by saying who turns out to be bad and who dies. My review contains some of that information.I purchased the hardcover version of this Marvel Studios Character Encyclopedia because I'm a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Unlike other Marvel books, this one follows the MCU exclusively, from Iron Man 1 to Captain Marvel (no Endgame). Each movie series has a brief overview of the character, their powers, and the supporting cast around them. For example, Captain America has a page for each of his fellow Howling Commandos. Each has pretty standard information which was a good refresher but nothing new most of the time. I did find out that the scavengers in the Thor Movie where he has to fight the big, green gladiator actually use armpit hair as headdresses. I also didn't know that the guy who runs the gladiatorial competition is the brother of the Collector, and they are among the oldest living beings in the universe. So it was worth a read to learn new information like that.The one flaw I found with this book was my favorite movie of the MCU: Captain Marvel. Every other movie has pages of content with supporting characters and even spoilers for who turns out to be a bad guy and who dies. Captain Marvel has two (yes, 2) pages, one with Carol Danvers and one with the main green guy, whom they call a terrorist. I read through it and got the feeling that the writers of this book didn't actually watch the movie because they refer to him as the bad guy when he turns out not to be. The main supporting characters of the movie, including the enemy AI, and the woman who was Kree and working on the lightspeed engine with Carol, are not featured. That's why I think that even though the book was released one month after the movie came out, it was put together and published before it was released and the publisher only got a brief glimpse at a preview for it.Other than that issue, it was a fun read that took under two hours to get through. I do recommend it, though I would recommend it more if it contained the entire Infinity Stone saga and included Captain Marvel and Endgame. 4/5 stars
