General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Professor Booty]

And none of the avengers had a secret identity until Spiderman

 

[R-Troop]

But the context around the movie is important itself, like at the time in 2008 there'd never been successful superhero things that didn't have that "secret identity" trope and they gave him the alibi right from the comics for his and this guy just goes nah, I am iron man

even more important was the it was a template to build off of it whatever you wanted. No Iron Man and none of the rest of this happens.

 

[Chris]

Yeah it worked out bc that's who they had available with their fucked rights and the avengers whole gimmick from the beginning were an official super group that you had to reveal your identity to join

yeah Robert Downey Jr rightfully gets the credit he deserves IMO, it's not overrated bc if not for his performance we don't get any of this

Jon Favreau bankrolled a lot too I think

 

[Professor Booty]

And the fact they nailed casting RDJ, Evans, and Hemsworth

 

[Chris]

Loki casting was perfect too

 

[R-Troop]

Jon Favreau bankrolled a lot too I think

directed it too and was awesome.

 

[Chris]

Yeah he's cool, makes a lot of personal cooking type projects now that he's got all this marvel money that are fun

 

[Professor Booty]

Loki was but I was talking about the first 3 of the first 4 solo movie stars

 

[Professor Booty]

Norton didn’t work out but Ruffalo was a homerun

 

[Chris]

Idk who was in charge of the casting then either tbh, I'm sure feige had final call tho

 

[Chris]

I liked Norton as Hulk but it's hard for me to imagine anyone but ruffalo in the other movies and tbh it's easy for me to picture him in place of Norton in that one

Hemsworth was a true find he was barely a movie star at the time

 

[R-Troop]

and it's not like RDJ was a hot commodity. Dude was at his lowest point and turned it around.
