Hey Lad, Excellent Video. Watching this though I must say broke my heart a lil more. Watching how Feige and the gang poured their hearts and souls into a project that could have failed badly and to lead with such passion and love for the source material and most likely love for Stan Lee too really cements why I loved the MCU so much. What saddens me today is that love and passion is gone, Feige is not leading the way he was before and now we are left with a Marvel that is a shadow of itself.
Abandoning strong writing and beautiful visuals for what we have seen in recent years does not paint a glamorous picture for the future. Marvel are losing money now on bloated budgets, bad writing and even worse planning. I do blame Disney for this massive decline because providing content for 2 mediums (Theatre and Steaming) has forced them to rush projects which affects the quality. Disney had a money printing machine in Marvel however it's not doing what it use to do and audiences are leaving in droves, anyway I'm just speaking out of the massive disappointment I've experienced on many occasions after Endgame.
Again excellent video but it made me sad.

After watching this video, I feel more proud of myself of being a part of Marvel's rise to fame since the start of Iron Man - 1. Talking about the video, have I watched quite a lot of success story videos of startups, entrepreneurs, etc. that I can regard this as no other success story video, saw a video of different genre today from you and your passion and clarity in the story is distinctly realized through your videos. It was great knowing the detailed story behind my most favorite movie studios. Kudos to 300!

And it all really began when Feige was convinced by Favereau to take a chance on RDJ and he adlibbed the ending scene admitting he was Iron Man all along, spurring the entire Infinity Saga we all know and love. its amazing how many crazy random things go into the making of so many great movies and tv shows, its pure chaos and make me appreciate the hits all the more given they all have stories like this that would've changed everything and likely not have been the great story we love so much today.

Watching this video, makes me miss Hollywood studios taking big risk. Most studios just like to reuse popular IPs again and playing it safe nowadays. Like DIsney not making a whole lot of original ideas and playing it safe with remakes and sequels which are very pointless. Sometimes, it's best to take risk and go all out but do it with passion and pride! LIKE MARVEL DID. and Disney should learn from this since it's their IP now and should learn the risk Marvel took to take to this point!

Yo Canadian Lad, I have a question: What do you think of the other cinematic universe, The Monsterverse which features famous kaiju like Godzilla and King Kong. I am assuming you are not a fan of those 2 characters but you should know that the Monsterverse was, I think, made to compete with the MCU. So far, this franchise has succeeded where other cinematic universes failed in trying to replicate the MCU's success.

This is why it used to piss me off that DC/WB weren’t interested in giving their lesser known characters Center stage theyve been milking Batman & Superman for years as if they didn’t have a library of characters to choose.
With James Gunn running DC now & shows like Pinguin and creature commandos being well received gives me hope that the era of only Batman/Superman dominating dc is coming to an end

I was there that day, a freshman in high school, back in 2008. I was excited for Ironman. It felt like I was the only person in school who knew of the character. Watched the movie chatted with friends during the credits then it happened. a tease of the Avengers and I was the only person in the theaters who freaked out of the potential. A few audience members asked me who are the avengers

I love how you carefully picked the scenes from iron man in the background to somewhat fit in. Like the golden armour previz as you said golden or even the Obadiah talking to Tony right after that seems fitting for bad financial advice
Edit: LMAO the fall was brutal was great as well. I’m assuming there will be much more. This is why you’re so good!

It's a shame that Marvel has been inconsistent lately. While they can still produce hits like Deadpool & Wolverine, they've also released films like Quantumania. They should prioritize telling great stories instead of solely focusing on pumping out as many projects as possible. They need to remember how they initially became the powerhouse they are today.

Tony Stark saying I am Iron Man at the end of the 2008 film also had Tony realized in the novelization that lies, manipulations, and cover ups were what led to Tony holding those cards at the end of the movie. There'd still be lingering questions about what happened, all stemming from Obadiah Stane's lies and deceit, and trying to kill Tony Stark.

When i saw Iron man for the first time, I Guessed that, its not the story that impacted the most, Its the acting and direction that impacted the movie
And I am really shocked to hear, my guess was right
Doing the whole fking movie without knowing the complete script, at the time when the studios is on a cliff. is the biggest gamble ever

Insightful video Canadian Lad, I would like to point out one more thing Christopher Nolan must also get credit for renewed success of Comic based film since Batman Begins and Dark Knight changed the way we see our comic book based movie, even Kevin Feige accepted it Dark Knight changed comic book genre.

11: 08 Tonal wise and movie wise there were a lot of similarities between Nolan's Batman Begins and Iron Man.
U should also accept that Nolan made comic book movies popular with hits like Begins and Dark Knight and Rises was not that good but a satisfactory ending to a goated trilogy.

No one has ever attempted that in cinema history
Except Universal monsters, Toho kaiju movies, Alien/predator and many more. I like your videos but please don't lie. Marvel is definitely biggest and most successful, but they are not first to think of an interconnected cinematic universe.

When I first saw the Title Iron man as kid, I thought it was some kinda parody or ripoff of Superman. Oh boy I was wrong. I was not into MCU that much, I had watched few scenes of The Avengers on TV. The first movie I watched was Age of Ultron from then on I've become an MCU nerd.

Younger folks have no idea: no one knew who Iron Man was at the time. I was working on Iron Man Armored Adventures the year or two prior, and no one in my family could guess which Marvel character I was working on when I said I was working with Marvel.
