    I'll be the first to say I didn't ever give a shit about Iron Man until RDJ. The mainstream audience knows who Iron Man is now, and that's due to him. That movie would not have had the impact it had with a Tom Cruise or any other kind of bland good looking type. It wasn't that RDJ looked the part (which he does), it's that he oozes charisma out of every pore. He made people like Iron Man, even when his character was kind of an asshole early on.

    And the new TMNT series on Nick might be the best incarnation put out. And I've been a Turtles fan since the original comic. You can feel the love that everyone making that series puts into it. The writing is unbelievably good.

    Don't sell the concept and characters short. Downey Jr. is a fantastic actor but he didn't make everything from scratch with movie Tony Stark. Without the comics as a foundation he'd have nothing to work with.

    But considering how those movies were made, if they didn't have someone like RDJ in the lead role and able to work with Favreau and Bridges in really key ways, that movie could have bombed hard

    Or at least it wouldn't have been the surprise smash hit that propelled Marvel into the film industry in a serious way

    That movie, yes. Though even that wasn't built on nothing. Lots of people worked on the comic mythology to adapt and numerous scripts were completed before it to that stage. The movie wasn't an improv skit from Saturday Night Live. Underselling the property that gave Downey Jr. the opportunity feels like its doing a disservice to the creators who weren't Downey Jr. and the property itself IMO. Iron Man can be a success and very entertaining without a big budget movie, like in the comics and Armored Adventures and Avengers: EMH. While not on the movie's level of success this isn't an IP that was completely worthless.

    edit: The movies did do an outstanding Pepper Potts and improved Stane from the comics

    what's actually insane about the actor salary thing is that a guy with all the leverage in the world is using it to help out some of his less-compensated peers rather than make an extra couple percentage points for himself, and dudes like the movie screenwriter ask "I wish my union had the power to do that."

    edit: Goatmon - done.

    The chucklefucks over at Latino Review have decided to go big or go home, saying that he has a "grid" that shows Marvels upcoming filming schedule and that Black Panther starts filming next year.

    Which is so blatently stupid a rumor I wonder if there isn't someone at Marvel purposesly trolling him, rather than him making shit up.

    Yeah, Marvel has announced movies all the way through late summer early fall of 2015.

    The idea of a Black Panther movie filming next year is both ridiculous and logistically impossible.

    It is all coming from that El Miyambe guy who is just throwing shit around. The last half dozen of his scoops have been incredibly bullshit
