-->'''Sterling:''' Boy, Spider-Man just can't catch a break.



* ButtMonkey: ComicBook/SpiderMan can't seem to catch a break, and it's lampshaded on more than one occasion that nothing ever seems to work out for him - the [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay madness]] that followed him exposing his double life in ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' or the destruction of Spider-UK's entire dimension in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''.

* AnotherStoryForAnotherTime: After recapping the storyline in question, there's usually a quick denouement that explains what happens from here to the characters, teasing future adventures. Thus far, the only one that's received any direct continuation was a video about ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'' following ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'', and to a lesser degree ''ComicBook/TheComingOfGalactus'' following the ''[[ComicBook/JackKirbysFantasticFour Fantastic Four]]'' story ''The Inhumans Among Us''.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Whenever SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} is in the story being retold, expect plenty of this. The same is also true for [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]] and ComicBook/SquirrelGirl.

Added DiffLines:

''Marvel TL;DR'' is an animated web series on the Marvel Entertainment Website/{{YouTube}} channel. Originally pitched and helmed by former Marvel Entertainment intern Noah Sterling, the series is an anthology that adapts some of the storylines from Marvel Comics' decades-long history into short and comical videos as a way to make the stories and characters accessible for newcomers, or to give longtime readers a laugh. The videos always end with a plug for the original storyline, encouraging interested viewers to read it themselves on the Marvel app or in graphic novel edition at their local comic book retailer.

!!''Marvel TL;DR'' has examples of:

* AnotherStoryForAnotherTime: After recapping the storyline in question, there's usually a quick denouement that explains what happens from here to the characters, teasing future adventures. Thus far, the only one that's received any direct continuation was a video about ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'' following ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk''.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Whenever SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} is in the story being retold, expect plenty of this. The same is also true for [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]] and ComicBook/SquirrelGirl.
* ButtMonkey: ComicBook/SpiderMan can't seem to catch a break, and it's lampshaded on more than one occasion that nothing ever seems to work out for him - the madness that followed him exposing his double life in ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' or the destruction of Spider-UK's entire dimension in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''.
* ChristmasEpisode: December 2018 saw a recap of ''ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Holiday Special''.
* DenserAndWackier: The stories are told more-or-less faithfully, but always much more comically. Almost none of the original dialogue is used, and some darker aspects are completely glossed over. For example, in the ''Weapon X'' retelling, a second narrating voice cuts in the describe a pleasant tea party before Noah Sterling can say what really happened between ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and those wolves.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Deadpool loves to abuse Sterling any chance he gets, bounding and gagging him so Deadpool can narrate the ''Deadpool; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'' video, and the implication that Deadpool straight-up murders Sterling in ''ComicBook/DeadpoolKillsTheMarvelUniverse''.
* HalloweenEpisode: October 2018 included a video of the horror-themed character ComicBook/ManThing.
* LampshadeHanging: The show mines a lot of jokes out of the many less-than-sensible things that happen in the Marvel Universe, such as questioning why that spider decided to bite [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]], or ComicBook/JeanGrey's transformation into a "[[EvilCostumeSwitch black lingerie enthusiast]]" when she's brainwashed into thinking she's the villainous Black Queen.
* RuleOfFunny: Some changes are made to the stories or the wider Marvel mythos to suit a joke. For example, ComicBook/BlackBolt is able to speak normally in order to coo over Lockjaw after the very good boy saves the universe in ''ComicBook/PetAvengers''.
* SelfParody: The whole premise of the series is that Marvel is retelling their own storylines in an intentionally irreverent way.
* SpoofAesop: Several videos end with a "TL;DR" moment that relates to the story but has little to no relevance to the real world. For example, the video on [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Marvel]] recounts the ''Higher, Further, Faster, More'' story arc, where the Captain teams up with Star-Lord the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy to stop Star-Lord's evil father J'Son. The video ends with the sage advice: "Remember kids, being nice to your friends' parents is important... unless those parents are genocidal space kings."
