10 May 2018  ·  Fan Bu ·

This analysis proposes a new topic model to study the yearly trends in Marvel Cinematic Universe fanfictions on three levels: character popularity, character images/topics, and vocabulary pattern of topics. It is found that character appearances in fanfictions have become more diverse over the years thanks to constant introduction of new characters in feature films, and in the case of Captain America, multi-dimensional character development is well-received by the fanfiction world.
