Especially the part where there was essentially no script, considering the complexity of the model and CG effects. Plenty of failed movies burned 10s of millions on sequences that were unsalvageable.

More credit (and props) need to be given to Marvel's ACTUAL first hit (modest or not) Blade. It's mentioned here, but seems a little glossed over. Blade being their first ever success was a really big deal for there even being a future for Marvel studios. And also being the first superhero film giving that true 'street-level', brutally realistic grounded tone that later became the norm for superhero properties. Really excellent rundown of all these events though! Just at the beginning of binging this channel!

They don't realize the beating Schumacher's Batman movies put on superhero movie goodwill with general audiences.

I gotta admit that not hearing the Black Sabbath song during the movie kinda bummed me out a little bit, until the iconic final line by Tony Stark immediately followed by the much awaited song. And then Samuel L. Jackson appeared, teased the Avengers and my dad was completely astonished. Good times.

Zbrush wasn't originally meant to be used for modeling, but some scripts developed by users changed that. This all happened between 2005 and 2008. The idea of digital sculpting, rather than the clunky polygon blocks and new chips and lighting systems all converged about the same time. It was really amazing.

Man Marvel really climbed up from the trenches and now have the backing of Disney, DC never faced that adversity and they dropped the ball so hard, by not following up on the Dark Knight Trilogy, that they are imo losing the live action “war” between the two comic book franchises. Of course I don’t think it’s a pepsi coke rivalry because I think both have contributed to the genre and can coexist with different release dates easily.

Seing the MCU now compared to the "Old" MCU shows that the "golden age" of it passed. With introduction of multiverse everything starts to go downhill. Multiverse is nothing else but a way to excuse lazy writing and lack of continuity. You can have a film with reaaaaly hard hitting ending like Infinity war (the "Empire strikes back" of this generation i would say) just to have it completely wiped in End Game. Since then, no stakes seem high. There is no feeling of urgency or "oh shiet the baddie X is behind all of this". Because you can do anything and the next film can go "HAHA ITS MULTIVERSE! NOTHING IN THE LAST PART REALLY HAPPENED". Couple that with shows like Loki, which turned one of the most recognisable villains into a side-kick in his own story, or the "Eternals" that "decided not to intervene because" and it all falls apart. Remember when Iron Man had more and more pronounced PTSD symptoms from movie to movie, as he continued to go deeper and deeper into really screwed up situations? Or a sense of guilt when Captain America realised he could have saved bucky and spare him torment of being Winter Soldier? Or the fact that people around the world were actually horrified by the outcome of alien invasion and what happened during Ultrons rebellion? To the point they wanted to literally ban the superheroes alltogether due to how much of a collateral damage they cause? There will be none of that in coming years. As each movie can wipe out everything that happened previously. This, and B and C level of superheroes coming in, due to main actors finishing their contracts and walking off.

Iron Man 1, 2, and his scenes in Avengers are the absolute peak of that. And it bleeds through every aspect of the movie too. It's by far the most grounded MCU movie despite the tech. Hulk came close on the character and story side, but he turns into a big green radioactive powered beast. A bit more out there than a flying metal suit made by the world's leading tech company and the richest, smartest man in the world who has everything but vibranium at his disposal.

before shitshow was the unstoppable behemoth that it is today my first episode i saw was arrested development, now i listen to 15,000+ minutes of shitshow per year according to spotify wrapped so this is where it all started! would love an episode about what happened with “the channel-that-shall-not-be-named” and what a shitshow that was voiceover sounds so clear here! great audio quality

The beginning of the MCU is just such an underdog story and now it's just the biggest franchise of all time with no signs of slowing down.
