@mikeflarkin they tend to do that
They forgot Blade in an instant
If this was in the first few teasers I think less people would be irritated
Not to mention Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor...
Ok, I will be back
Yeah that too
It's liek
BLACK PANTEHR THE FIRST BLACK HERO
Blade, Steel, That shitty catwoman movie
off the top of my head
and in the MCU, Falcon and Rhodey
leia = one of the earliest disney princesses
Now what they *can* say is that it's the first Black hero movie who's actually *african* set in Africa
That's a valid milestone to claim
But that's not what they were all sayin
interesting, I dont remember a backlash when people didnt like catwoman... shows you how much everythings changed
Cause superhero movies weren't big at taht time
they had a big push with the Superman and Batman movies
then it went to shit
I don't remember people crying misogyny when everyone hated that shitty JLo movie Enough
Honestly even 10+ years later
That first Iron Man is a solid movie
I think that's why they made this universe work honestly
They gave us a solid, three act movie, totally self-contained
with only a hint of sequels after the credits
and then they played it safe and self-contained for a few more films
The only thing I wish they went into move with Iron Man was Tony Stark's alcoholism
Id say the first spiderman remakes brought em back
that's true wack you win on that
and only when it became clear that they could make it work is that they started having fun with the MCU
cameo crossovers and stuff
mind you the one I watched as a kid was pretty cool
that's why the MCU fundimentally works better than the DCEU
the DCEU went into it trying to make an extended universe
cant remember if it was an 80's movie.. or earlier
the MCU started with a small handful of self-contained movies that were only tangentally connected by Coulson and Fury
I still think they fucked up Nick Fury
and THEN they did the teamup
Nick Fury is not a wisecracking kitten petting goofball
Yeah, MCU didn't start off with the idea of making a huge universe, which I think is part of why it worked. Everything was self contained, you could watch one movie without having to watch the others
