Apparently the movie just didn’t come out the way Norton wanted so he didn’t wanna keep returning and have to play politics

The politicking was pretty bad before Disney put Feige at the head of the table I've heard. Iron Man 3 was not how he wanted it to play out bc they were scared of a woman being the main villain lol Black Panther and Captain Marvel would have been made sooner too

I thought Norton had a contract dispute or something tbh

I’ve not heard the whole story, but there was a contract issue and what he wanted to do the Avengers. Cuz I guess it’s not technically a Hulk sequel or something.

What woman?

 

[Chris]

What woman?

The botanist chick is what I've heard was supposed to be the reveal as main villain, not the nerd simp

 

[Chris]

Instead she's just helping him and he kills her lol

 

[Chris]

I assume he would have just been a lackey for her or something but who knows bc obviously the entire movie had to be changed in some ways if that's true

I can see that and probably would have been better for his whole womanizer thing to come full circle.

Not huge on 4 because of how they fucked Mandarin.

Glad they fixed it in a blu-Ray extra at least.

 

[Smart Marx]

3 not 4

 

[Chris]

Not a big fan of the Mandarin comic character tbh so I thought that was a great interpretation lmao I just wish the villain afterwards would have been better. Idk if I even would have liked Maya (that's her name I think) anymore either, hard to say.

 

[Chris]

I do love that short film tho

 

[Chris]

The Ten Rings are also supposed to be apart of Shang Chi so maybe there will be follow up finally lol

 

[Sabretooth]

I thought the mandarin twist was just the worst thing ever but now that the real mandarin is gonna be in Shang chi maybe that’ll make me feel better

 

[Smart Marx]

The guy at the end had a dragon tattoo and basically was Mandarin so if it was just revealed to be him and he ran the 10 rings I wouldn’t have minded it. Just remove the fake Mandarin and reveal the fire guy to be him.
