Which Mcu Project do you like that uses the Balck and white colour palette and aesthetic really well?

For me, it's Wandavision and Werewolf by night because they captured the time period that are used as the environment and rules within the context of each projects. Love and thunder is also really good when thor and friends fight Gorr on that planet that is full muted when the colour grading changes when they immediately get to him and it looks amazing as well. First Avenger is ok, we don't see a lot during his campaign montage, but it's good when it appears.

The black-and-white fight in Love and Thunder is easily its best scene. Overall, I would pick Werewolf By Night

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-23 19:41

Same. It captured 1930s-40s horror style excellently

Upbeat_Tension_80772025-10-23 21:21

Basically a peak Universal Monsters film with the exterior of the MCU

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-23 22:02

Yep.

dbkenny4262025-10-23 19:46

My thoughts exactly! The Shadow Realm fight was incredible to watch, but Werewolf By Night was a great love letter to classic horror movies.

DrManhattan_DDM2025-10-23 19:58

I’m torn on Werewolf By Night being my answer for this question in particular. Mostly because I enjoyed the color version about the same as the B/W, which tells me that the colors themselves weren’t particularly impactful. IMO the B/W scenes from WandaVision and Thor were both more impactful. For both of those examples the B/W palette ties in directly to some element of the story.

EvilDuncan2025-10-23 20:32

I totally agree on L&T. Although it’s a pretty low bar since most of the rest of the movie is actual garbage.

MusicLikeOxygen2025-10-23 21:36

There's been some MCU movies I've liked more than others, but L&T is the only one I actually didn't like. Such a disappointment.

EvilDuncan2025-10-23 21:52

This is how I feel. I have actually enjoyed every other MCU property (except for Secret Invasion), but in my entire life, Thor 4 is the only film where I have questioned whether I want to walk out of the theater.

MusicLikeOxygen2025-10-23 21:56

I still haven't gotten around to Secret Invasion. I keep putting it off because of all the bad reviews.

ew2x42025-10-24 02:47

Have you seen Brave New World? This is my choice for this.

MusicLikeOxygen2025-10-24 02:53

I liked Brave New World. It's not in my top 10 or anything, but I thought it was decent.

randmperson22025-10-23 22:24

That scene in Love and Thunder honestly felt like an entirely different movie. If they had struck that tone more and taken Gorr more seriously, it would’ve been an entirely better movie.

Focsok2025-10-23 19:42

Werewolf by night and WandaVision.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-23 19:43

Yep easily

Journ9er2025-10-25 02:33

Same here. They were designed for black & white.

Serawasneva2025-10-23 19:52

*Has* to be werewolf by night.

RoastMasterShawn2025-10-23 19:58

Werewolf by night made it feel special, loved that. Wandavision pulled it off quite well too.

Earthwick2025-10-23 20:11

Wearwolf by far is the best

ToDandy2025-10-23 20:14

WandaVision

popcorngirl0002025-10-23 20:29

WandaVision! They decorated their sets the same way black and white sit-coms did so that they would look as authentically period as possible on film.

Werewolf by Night is my second choice. I was dumbstruck to see Disney+ advertising a color version! The black and white IS the atmosphere it sets the tone so well - a color version misses the point entirely.

Visible-Meeting-89772025-10-23 20:56

Gorr was the best part of Thor love and Thunder. Werewolf by night is excellent too. Probably one of those.

Armandonerd2025-10-23 21:40

Werewolf by night

Werewolf by night

MisterBerry942025-10-23 23:03

Honestly i loved the AoS black and white Noire episode. It stood out but also still fit with the aesthetic of the show.

Prior-Net80302025-10-23 23:08

Daredevil Season 3 Poindexter episode? Hello?!? Anyways, all of these are great.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-24 05:08

Oh yes

a_o2025-10-23 23:14

Love & Thunder #1 because of the outcome and they *new* tech they used to achieve it, then Wandavision for similar reasons, then Werewolf by Night, and then a 3-way tie with the others.

Caelesti_Deus2025-10-23 23:16

Agents of shields black and white Noir episode was great really feels like it fit the time period

jamesbondswanson2025-10-23 23:31

I love monochromatic movies. They had to use special lighting techniques for things to work and to accentuate certain shots. When color became a thing black and white was still being used because it was cheaper, but as color became cheaper there was still black and white being used as an artistic choice. Black and white photography also lasted a long time because newspapers still printed photos in black and white.

Love and Thunder had a uniquely surreal b&w look, Werewolf By Night was an excellent presentation
of neo-noir style and Wanda Vision was a faithful recreation of vintage television.

So, you know like, all of those.

Superb_Juggernaut8212025-10-24 00:16

It's not on this list and technically not a part of the MCU proper, but the Logan DVD came with a black and white cut of the movie and I loved it.

Praetor_60402025-10-24 00:19

Werewolf by night and wandavision (in that order) are the best because they have a clear inspiration and style they are imitating, and they do it incredibly well. Plus they both play with color nicely. The others are good but they just dont have that creative direction unfortunately, since it doesnt fit their situations as well

Edboy7962025-10-24 00:31

Werewolf by Night.

And then they the opposite of Minus One and released the colored version..

samlefrog2025-10-24 00:35

Werewolf by Night and Thor: Love and Thunder.

DeuceDropper4202025-10-24 00:41

WBN it worked best overall for. WandaVision did a great job too

ew2x42025-10-24 02:47

Thor is technically superior. It’s really awesome how they filmed it to get the sun effect.

karafuto2025-10-24 02:49

Werewolf by Night was a masterpiece

Grayx_28872025-10-24 04:08

You misspelled "black." But, I would say Werewolf by Night utilized the black-and-white color aesthetic quite well.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-24 05:07

My mistake

SonOfRageNLove262025-10-24 05:26

I dont remember how they used black and white in Agent Carter

frankdatank_0042025-10-24 06:30

WandaVision for the era.

Werewolf by night for the genre.

Thor Love and Thunder for the scene.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-24 06:51

Same

Werewolf By Night definitely did it best.

Confident-Shift-97642025-10-24 19:01

1. Werewolf by Night
2. Gore scene in Thor
3. WandaVision

CharlieEternal6162025-10-24 19:41

I love Werewolf By Night but I gotta give it to WandaVision.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 03:42

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. S7 was so good, and they really leaned in on the differeance in genre, especially that episode, so AoS gets my vote.
