@hotdogsladies there really isn’t any line of dialogue, especially something that would be quick and to the point, that would be anywhere as good. It is absolutely in character for Tony to not just own up to, but to almost brag about being Iron Man at that point in his arc.
I'm not sure who to believe, but it's plausible that the line and scene were pretty different in a big way.
Yet! It didn't really occur to me until this week that the DECISION about that line was way more significant than anyone could’ve imagined at the time.
I mean. Against just so many odds, this weird, perfect superhero movie almost singlehandedly creates a new industry.
For better and for worse, right?!
(These are all things I expect my students to address in their essays)
This is also the week that I settled into a take so hot that it can only be whispered in the depths of a Friday night thread:
> Iron Man (2008) is not only the best MCU movie; Iron Man (2008) is half an order of magnitude better than any of the other MCU movies, and you're only mad right now because you haven't actually rewatched Iron Man (2008) recently and appreciated what an improbable combination of miracles it represents.
@hotdogsladies we recently watched the whole.. avengers movies group?.. starting with Iron man. I had never seen most of the movies, but had seen iron man and guardians. I was pretty disappointed by most of them, I think iron man made me expect more!
