If I may be the seventeenth person on the internet today to tell you: the MCU is on the ropes right now. Box office returns, critical scores, and audience affections are all trending south and something tells me burly CGI Han Solo isn’t going to turn things around. So what’s a concerned moviegoer to do? Attempt to find something else to watch by exploring deeper into the past and present cinematic catalogue and supporting new ideas? Heck no! The answer, of course, is to write mean YouTube comments and just kind of, wait for things to change. If, while you’re doing so, you should feel nostalgic for the glory days of Marvel films, you may wish to return to where it all began with Iron Man, a 2008 comic book movie directed by Jon Faverau. Before the MCU could paper over its lesser entries with the promise of new tidbits about upcoming events, Iron Man had to muscle into the public consciousness by dint of its own merits, which it did with aplomb. Iron Man was a smash hit with critics and audiences alike and stuffed enough money in enough pockets to draw the lidless, flaming eye of Disney, but that’s a story for another day. For now, it’s enough to rewatch Iron Man alongside your favorite podcast: Magellans at the Movies! Suit up and lock in, let’s go!
