2008: IRON MAN & the Massive Power of Small Stakes
Manage episode 340189658 series 2865408
The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off with director Jon Favreau's "Iron Man," starring Robert Downey Jr. Maybe the most fascinating thing about this movie, though, is how, compared to the dozens of MCU films that would come to follow it, this one, with its narrow scope and human stakes, almost feels quaint.
In this episode, Mike and Brian talk character arcs, exciting vs. boring kinds of conflict, the MIlitary-Industrial Complex and what Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne (circa "The Dark Knight") have in common.
