Why does the first Iron Man feel so different from the rest of the MCU? Feels more mature, has lees stupid humor, the dialogue is better, and is more serious and dark at points. Even Tony feels far more complex and interesting than just a jerk. Then the next two all go to hell.

Alexander Russell
Disney. Also checked.
Samuel White
Because they decided “it’s ridiculous source material it shouldn’t take itself seriously”
Jeremiah Morgan
TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE OUT OF SCRAPS IN 2 WEEKS
Nathaniel Nelson
It does have an atrocious third act though
Oliver Phillips
Just another “my arch nemesis has the same powers as me but is evil” capeshit
Ian Reed
The scene where he fights Terrorists is pretty great. The two first acts are pretty good enough. But like it goes to shit on the third. Still a good movie. Better than most MCU movies, if not all.
Logan Harris
Disney bought Marvel and released The Avengers. The Avengers was directed by Joss Whedon, who is known for his quippy dialogue and levity. Avengers made $1.59 billion. Disney said "Make all of the movies like this."
Easton Edwards
Because they had no idea if it was going to work. It was a huge risk despite there being a few other successful super hero movies before and they put everything they could into trying to make it good so it could jump start the MCU. They actually tried and cared a lot, and Downey was still trying too. Tony acts differenct in this one that he does later, he didn't ham it up as much and took it more serious. Also it was before Disney.
Look at footage of iron man in this compared to how the suit looked in later movies, it's crazy how much worse it got.
Xavier Nguyen

The first suit was real, right? They only used CGI for all the rest, but they made some pretty good shit for this movie.
Leo Wilson
Yes.
Ayden White
because it's an actual movie (minus the post credits scene)
Bentley Sanchez
it's a paramount film
Elijah Jones
Yeah. I believe IM1 was one of the last movies Stan Winston worked too
Anthony Watson
Because it was made under Paramount
Tyler Jenkins
MCU needs another iron man. just a single movie that doesnt tie into anything else just a cool little supehero movie. all these dumb connections are ruining it
Jacob Cooper
You're never going to get a scene like this again in Marvel ever.
It's not quippy or bing bing wahoo
Ian Turner
>thing is success
>take thing, make it less rough around the edges, easier to sell toys and attract a wider audience, do it as many times as people buy it
>why is thing 43 not as good as thing 1?
this happens to all kinds of media since the dawn of media
and you cocksuckers STILL dont get it?
FUCK
Noah Allen
It's also problematic, can't portray arabs like this anymore. Only grey CGI aliens as bad guys allowed now.
Brayden Gonzalez
>WAAAAAAAAAA MUH CAPESHIT
Stop being a little bitch they all feel the same, Iron-Man is the only MCU movie that is a character study
Jonathan Edwards
It was written and shot before the financial crisis
Joshua Wilson
Maybe you just got older?
Michael Gonzalez
Iron Man 1, Hulk (2008 and Thor 1 really made it feel like the MCU was going to have a more serious tone.
