I foresee a lot of flops out of those titles, comparatively speaking... though definitely not all. I'm sure they'll all make hundreds of millions... but we've already seen peak MCU imo... how could we not have?

Why do some of those titles show the Disney logo and some do not?

I remember after Infinity War came out and everyone saw it, people were expecting Endgame to be a letdown because no one thought there was anyway to top Infinity War. For the most part, they DID topped it. You have a few of your people who like Infinity War more than Endgame, but for the most part and census, The Infinity Saga ended as good as could've been and Endgame did top Inifinity War.

Minus the Black Widow trailer, no one has even seen footage of the movies. You're just basing it off a title and limited information. So quick to judge.

Endgame was more emotionally satisfying just because of the overarching story since 2008 but objectively speaking Infinity War was a much better film. People just aren't ok with the bad guy winning, so Endgame ended up being more popular due to that and the fact that it was the cap on a decade.

I was really wrong about its overall gross, but that's in part because I massively underestimated the impact the emerging markets in China and India would have on the box office. I didn't even consider them, very ignorantly so, when comparing it to Avatar.

I don't think that Endgame was better than Infinity War. I think most people that have watched most of the films would agree, despite the box office numbers.

I'm basing it off of the fact that the two main protagonists are now retired from the MCU... Downey and Evans... I could be wrong as ****, wouldn't shock me... but then again... how can anyone say even half seriously that Marvel is going to put out a bigger movie than Endgame? I just can't see that happening... as such, we have seen peak MCU.

Infinity War was probably the best movie of the entire franchise. It's not often we straight up get to see a villain win and see a story told almost entirely from their POV.

RDJ was their best actor.

I wouldn't say they suck dick... I will say they become awfully repetitive and the longer any major protagonist/major hero goes on the more that character trends towards being very similar to Iron Man/RDJ with the quick witted dialogue. The movies also follow very, very similar patterns and as such they have become quite stale as a collective, with some still fun individual movies.

I will also say... part of the magic of these movies was/is the audience/a packed house on opening night. I typically don't like noise in theaters whatsoever... let's just watch the damn movie... but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that a packed theater on opening night amplified the ability to enjoy all of these movies and made them feel significantly more hyped.

How do you get lucky by casting well? They chose him and their producers insisted he was the guy. Marvel is the only reason hes even a household name these days. Marvel is probably 90% of his career earnings.



"Downey wasn't the most obvious choice, but he understood what makes the character tick. He found a lot of his own life experience in 'Tony Stark'."[83] Favreau insisted on having Downey as he repeatedly claimed that Downey would be to Iron Man what Johnny Depp is to the Pirates of the Caribbean series: a lead actor who could both elevate the quality of the film and increase the public's interest in it.[

That isnt getting lucky. Thats knowing what youre doing.

Man, now the real Mandarin is appearing? I feel like they missed the boat with him. Should've fought Ironman.

The Eternals probably would be cool. Scarlet Witch getting her full powah would be cool too. Her and a Dr. Strange team up is nice.

But I want X-Men, Dr. Doom and Galactus. Give me that multiverse thing. Hint at Secret Wars or something. I'm somewhat excited for the rest of the line up, but not overly. I understand that there probably has to be a down period after Endgame, but I want more hints of the next big event. Whelp, I hope for the movies to be good. Maybe the big teaser would be in Eternals.

I agree he should have fought Iron Man, that's his nemesis. Mandarin will probably replace Fu Manchu as Shang Chi's father since there are huge racist issues with Fu (there are the same issues with Mandarin too, but it's probably easier to update him and move away from the caricature). I can see the 10 rings organization being the slow burn enemy for this phase of the earth bound movies, much like Hydra was previously. The cosmic side is tackling the Celestials but maybe they end up fighting Galactus or Annihilus.

Howard is just trying to get credit. The director wanted Downey and fought for him


Favreau chose Downey,

because he felt the actor's past made him an appropriate choice for the part, explaining "The best and worst moments of Robert's life have been in the public eye. He had to find an inner balance to overcome obstacles that went far beyond his career. That's Tony Stark."

Favreau faced opposition from Marvel in casting Downey, but would not take no for an answer, saying, "It was my job as a director to show that it was the best choice creatively ... everybody knew he was talented [and] certainly by studying the Iron Man role and developing that script I realized that the character seemed to line-up with Robert in all the good and bad ways.

While preparing for filming, Favreau and Downey were given a tour of SpaceX by Elon Musk. Downey said, "Elon was someone Tony probably hung out with and partied with, or more likely they went on some weird jungle trek together to drink concoctions with the shamans."

Hiring RDJ was a huge gamble at the time. He was in and out of rehab, had been fired from projects, and couldn't even get insured for some movies. Favreau hit this one out of the park.



NEWS
Jon Favreau Details His Fight With Marvel Studios To Cast Robert Downey Jr. As Iron Man


While Robert Downey Jr. is now easily one of the most beloved movie stars in the world, prior to taking on the role of Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man the actor had a very different public image. Despite years and years of putting on fantastic performances in great films, the star was much better known for his drug and alcohol habits and as a result was considered by many in the studio system to be an extreme risk. Despite Downey Jr. cleaning up his act, this behavior continued all the way up until Marvel Studios began carving out plans for their Marvel Cinematic Universe - which is why Jon Favreau really had to go to bat for him in the casting process for Iron Man.

Favreau opened up about casting Robert Downey Jr. during a recent interview with the Texas radio station 100.3 Jack FM, and revealed to the hosts that while Iron Man he brought up the idea of casting Downey Jr. in the lead role and was rejected multiple times. Despite all the negativity and wariness surrounding the suggestion, however, the director didn't take "no" for an answer and instead made it his responsibility to show the people at Marvel Studios that he knew exactly which actor he wanted to play the starring role. Said Favreau, "It was my job as a director to show that it was the best choice creatively…and now the Marvel Universe is the biggest franchise in film history."

So why exactly did Favreau insist on having Downey Jr. as his Iron Man? The answer to that question has two parts. One half of it was what Favreau says is his "really special ability" to see talent in other people. The other half, though, was the fact that the director simply saw far too many similarities between the journey the character takes in the film and what his actor friend had gone through during his time on the big screen.
“Everybody knew he was talented… Certainly by studying the Iron Man role and developing that script I realized that the character seemed to line-up with Robert in all the good and bad ways. And the story of Iron Man was really the story of Robert’s career.”

Of course, Jon Favreau was eventually able to convince the folks at Marvel Studios that Robert Downey Jr. was the perfect Tony Stark, and it turned out to be one of the greatest decisions in blockbuster history. Not including The Avengers, the Iron Man franchise has made over $2.4 billion at the global box office, and there's no denying that a great deal of that success comes from the magnetism and charisma of the franchise's main star. Explained Favreau in summation, "That was a big gamble on whether or not he was really serious about it… and now history has definitely proven that he was dead serious about it and now he is the biggest star in the world."

Ok so whether it was Howard or Favreau, it boils down to one guy that isn't the decision maker insisting on getting RDJ cast. That's luck, either way.

For the record, Howard claimed to have willingly given up $1 million to try to get him cast...


He was the first of the leading roles to be cast, and says that he took a $1 million pay cut to help persuade Marvel to hire Robert Downey Jr. for the Iron Man role when the studio was having doubts.

Either way, it wasn't this grand mastermind at Marvel saying "this is our guy" the whole time... they lucked into him.

and still come to the conclusion that they lucked into him? The director had him in mind and fought against the suits at Disney to consider him. RDJ then went and auditioned and blew every one away, confirming Favreau's stance. That's not luck.

Yes, but Favreau is the director. He has plenty of influence. He's the one that convinced Feigan to give RDJ a look, RDJ nailed the audition, the rest is history.

Luck would be if they hired someone to play Wolverine (Dougray Scott), the actor has to pull out last minute because his current film's production runs late (MI2), they settle on an alternate (Hugh Jackman), and he proceeds to own the part for 17 years and 9 movies. THAT'S luck

They didn't want to consider him... they happened to have a director that was adamant. If it was a different director, it goes a different way. There are varying degrees to luck.

I didn't say he wasn't part of the MCU... I said he wasn't the MCU.

The majority of those movies his name gets tossed on as an afterthought. Not to say he didn't contribute, but his role and title are vastly overstated.

Iron Man 1 was his baby and maybe Iron Man 2 and that's about it.

There is no one director. No one guy. Its dozens of projects going on over a decade+. But he has in fact had more to do with it than most of them.

Who do you think people mean when they reference a track record that suggests they know what they are doing? Marvel has not had a misstep yet. Their biggest mistakes make 600 million. John and many others are the reason for that...and they are still around.

Doesnt mean any one of them have to direct every movie. Nobody would have time for that.

You just gonna keep predicting their decline because its inevitable like all things decline?

Maybe it's just knee jerk reactions, but everyone I've talked to liked Endgame more than Infinity War. I think what does it for everyone is the Avengers Assemble scene. It's just the complete essence and accumulation of all the movies you've followed to that moment you've been waiting for that you didn't think in the back of your mind they'd pull off, but they pulled it off really well.

We don't know what direction they'll go. People are just assuming it'll be Jane Foster as Thor. Maybe it'll be Valkryie, maybe someone else. Maybe no one will be Thor since Thor is slated to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and someone only temporarily has his powers.

Valkyrie should have been the female Thor if they wanted to go in that direction.

Thor kinda is a title though. Its a gods name....but in the comics the guy who is thor isnt always thor. Hes a doctor as I suspect you know. They just totally ignored that element aside from the first movie where they made that doctor Portmans ex boyfriend whos clothes she gave Thor to wear.

Thor is not a constant character on earth. The POWER of Thor is given to whoever is worthy as if it is a title. Its something to earn.

Between Donald Blake(traditional Thor), Cap, Storm, Foster, Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Odin, Thing, Gamora, Luke Cage, Groot, and Rogue.....its clear you dont have to BE Thor to have the power of and be recognized as the current Thor.

Thor is like an abstract...mostly. Depends on which comic you mean. In some hes always thor...in others just his power makes whoever has the hammer Thor. He couldnt even put the hammer down and stay Thor for decades.

They have solid footing to make Thor whoever they want.

Though I agree that Jane will look weird.

Her being that strong just seems off....though logically just being musclebound wouldnt make you as strong as Thor is. Its clearly a magical/god thing so a female thor would still be strong....just not look strong. Like Spiderman I suppose.

No mention of the new Captain America?

Between Black Cap and Lady Thor, the incels are going to have absolute meltdown :oldlol:

Am I the only one who thinks nearly all of the Marvel movies suck dick? rdj is the only good thing about the entire franchise imo.
NAH, i'm with you on that.

they're cookie cutter movies. same corny jokes across the mcu movies. it's tiring. villains suck ass for the most part. thanos was the only that was good.

His name is literally Thor Odinson, it's not a title just because you wield the hammer.

And yet....when other people have the hammer they have called them Thor. Jane foster was in fact called Thor. I think Rogue was too. Eric masterson was Thor. The comic with him was called the mighty Thor. Other people called him Thor.

When you have the power of Thor....you’re Thor. When the usual Thor isn’t being Thor....his name is Donald. The MCU just didn’t feel like complicating things.

I won't judge Thor: Love & Thunder until I see it. Especially since Waititi is returning and he did a great job on Ragnarok.

People get too bent out of shape about the title of Thor or if Thor is his name, etc. It could be both in one in the MCU. In the first Thor movie when Odin striples Thor of his powers he says, "...the power of Thor." before he tosses the hammer into the binefrost.

In Endgame, Cap is also "Thor" for a while...
