RDJ pick was a surprise for sure, but I recall that when me and my friends found out, our immediate reaction (knowing his history with drug abuse) was “he’s perfect.”

EDIT: Kinda weird to think that Marvel originally wanted Tom Cruise to play Iron Man, and that Jon Favreau had to fight for RJD. So much of the MCU wouldn’t be what it is today without RDJ starting from him improvising “I am Iron Man.”

Not even that, comic version of Tony has been rewritten to be more like rdj version.

That would actually make sense :rofl:

and it would also play into his supposed run in military special ops. . . .

Fun Fact - The “I am Iron Man” line in Endgame was supposedly the last reshoot. The editor said that the scene felt empty as Stark just did the snap without saying anything. So he called back to that line and they got RDJ to do it.

There’s more to that. Rdj didn’t want to do it. They had to get some powerful exec friend to convince him

I don’t think so, it sounds like it was more like stop being a fuckin baby and do it. If it was money I don’t think they would have gotten an exec friend to make him do it… Someone really high in the totem pole. How I heard it, is it was like st an informal dinner function that the dude told rdj to do the line

That’s some real he said she said you’re peddling right now.

Gamora and Peter were never a thing. They were always friends. Kinda had a brother-sister relationship. So seeing them in the movies was meh. But now they have gone and brought that shit to the comics. Fucking movies.

Gamora is so far beyond Star Lords league it isn’t funny. Outside of being in close proximity to each other, what is rationale for their relationship?

Trauma related relationship. Broken people who are bad for each other are together. I’ve seen so many relationships like them. They both feed a need they are missing. Be it family or the fact neither race seems to exist in space in general. Can also say they are both despised… In comics marvel cosmic universe hates humans cause bad shit always happens around them for gamora its the fact she’s Thanos’s kid

Kind of off topic but RIP Rutger Hauer. Blade Runner being one of my fav movies.

Pretty good read, tells the origins of the Marvel universe, the abstract entities, the gods, the immortals, and other races

That is my main issue with the MCU. Regardless of quality it’s going to be universally praised because it’s marvel.

People can still admit that MCU has weak movies, mind you none of them are terrible.
Unless you are talking to a blind superfan.
