Iron Man Pitch Meeting

Step into the Pitch Meeting that started Iron Man (and Marvel's Cinematic Universe!) Subscribe for more pitch meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
2008’s Iron Man kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was the foundation for what has become a multi-billion dollar cinematic franchise involving characters like Thor, Captain America, The Guardians of the Galaxy and many, many more. With how crazy stuff has become in the MCU, we thought we’d take a look back at how it all started and step inside the pitch meeting that led to Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. What was up with those awful terrorists in Afghanistan and their inability to keep an eye on their captive? Why would they provide him with a bunch of weapon material and leave him unsupervised? What exactly was Obadiah Stane AKA Iron Monger trying to do? His plan doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. So step inside the pitch meeting for Iron Man! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Yep!! if it made too much sense it may as well be called, "Reality" or based on a true story.

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

Maybe mainstream genre fare. Not bashing mainstream genre fare at all, but more "realistic" movies tend to make more sense. For example, I just watched courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder. There is perhaps one scene in that film that is slightly farfetched. To say that every single movie is the kind of thing covered by Pitch Meetings or Honest Trailers just isn't true.

[@kamenanew9867]

​​@@PotrzebieConollyuhhh actually Rhoades was in a separate suit usually fighting along side tony when they first did that storyline, plus Tony had remote controlled suits at this time as well, so Ironman was kinda Constantly seen near or around tony during these times, so when the press, convinced tony was indeed iron man, he finally relented and said he'd hired iron man as his personal body guard, and Rhodes went along with it. Sorry, dad ran a comic book shop for several years in the 90s, i got to read entire series as long as i was very careful and the product. that particular run of Ironman one of my favs so I reread it more than once. That said, in a movie sense yeah wouldn't have made any sense sorry. Just reread ur comment and realized you meant specifically the movie.

the burger is actually pretty ironic in there because RDJ admits he had such a disgusting burger from Burger King that he threw away all his drugs.

[@bluepeng8895]

@@Kinghenhog39 That’s why he chose to add the Burger King scene, because it helped restart his career. Also, he would get diareah from eating a burger because his body wouldn’t be used to eating a lot of calories at once. Since he was held in captivity, his body would basically forget how to digest all that fat and calories, resulting in his body rejecting it, causing diareah
