Trying to get NWH tickets last nighr was such a shitshow. Even after waiting over an hour to get through the queue, AMC's website would just throw an error after selecting your seat.

I know people give (rightfully) give a lot of credit to Iron Man but Spiderman always has been and might always be the most popular Marvel property.

I know people give (rightfully) give a lot of credit to Iron Man but Spiderman always has been and might always be the most popular Marvel property. Iron Man's popularity is really pretty recent, whenever that first movie came out. If you read comic books, you knew who he was but that was about it. Spider-man has been popular and in the pop culture consciousness since his creation. He's had at least one cartoon series in every decade since the 60's. There's was a live action tv show. He even had a newspaper comic strip that ran for decades. The Rami movies were massive hits. Globally, he's by far and away the most well-known Marvel property.

What is funny about Iron Man is that he was definitely hitting a more prominent role around 2006 with Civil War which cast Iron Man as at best an anti-Hero and at worst, the straight up big bad of Marvel Comics. Iron Man kinda, sorta being a bad guy made a lot of sense.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think that's a little hyperbolic. Iron Man was always a big Avenger, had a few classic arcs, toys were pretty common, and he had whole animated series. I think it's fair to say he was always a prominent figure in the comics even if he wasn't as much a sensation as Spider-Man, X-Men, or Daredevil were at various points in history. It isn't really hyperbolic to say nobody really cared about Iron Man outside of comics fans before his movie. His 90s cartoon only got 26 episodes because nobody cared. Why did they still have the rights to make an Iron Man movie?

The most some average filmgoers knew about Iron Man was that he was some kind of robot before RDJ. It stands to be seen how that'll hold up after him

Say what you will about comic book movies and the MCU but turning characters like Thor and Ant Man and whoever else you can think of into household names that generate a ton of money in movie bucks is a pretty huge accomplishment

You know, I'd totally be down for No Way Home if Miles Morales appears literally as the Spider-Verse one, as in being animated and having his own framerate and all.

If they had cast the Rock for Venom instead of Topher in Spider-Man 3, they could have saved money and done a better job with the casting.

Whenever I think of pre-MCU Marvel in the mainstream I think about the Marvel section of Universal Studios. The anchors were the Hulk roller coaster, the Dr Doom freefall tower thing, the Spider-Man 4D dark ride that broke constantly, and... that's about it I think? Oh there was also a teacups ride that I never went on that I think was Storm/X-Men themed. And they had a restaurant with all the other comics characters plastered on the walls, but I think it was mainly Captain America and Fantastic Four branded. I'm sure Iron Man appears in a few places but they never drew any attention to him. I remember the meet and greet characters being really rare too, they only came out a couple times a day and it was just like Spidey, Cap, and some X-Men. The whole area was the weirdest low effort hodgepodge that felt like it had less prestige than the newspaper comics land, Spider-Man is basically the only element that doesn't feel like outdated Silver Age crap. I say "was" but I'm pretty sure it still exists exactly as it has for the past 20 years since Universal wants to hold onto the rights they have for dear life. edit: lol

you say "silver age" but aren't all the properties on display basically based off of the 90s animated shows? iirc all of the rides used spliced together footage from their respective Fox cartoons for the pre-boarding areas, that and the queuing areas for the Spider-Man ride may as well have been used for a planned live action version of the show. I honestly think Islands of Adventure works better if it sticks to its roots, the river ride for Jurassic Park is still fun and creepy, the Hulk ride is still awesome. Hell, the only part that sucks now is the Harry Potter incorporation, but maybe that's just because I don't like Harry Potter anymore

My favorite part of Universal is how every dark ride needs to squirt water on you at least once. Even the Fast & Furious ride (which is so terrible that everyone should ride it ironically IMO) managed to fit it in.

CelticPredator posted:Spider-Man ride at island of adventure now is bigger than the new Spider-Man ride at Disneyland today The new Disneyland Spider-Man ride is essentially an interactive video game like Astro Blasters or Midway Mania. It’s a 4-seat pod that moves between 3D displays where you shoot at spider-bots that have gone rogue. It isn’t very big. In general, the California Adventure “Avengers Campus” is bleak as hell, by the way. The conceit is that you’re on a vaguely corporate campus with a bunch of industrial buildings. It’s literally a bunch of featureless concrete buildings with fake MCU corporate logos on the side. The Spider-Man ride is inside a fake tech company called W.E.B. Peter Parker is an intern there, with a bunch of other made-up profiles for other interns or employees lining the walls. It’s the most damning statement on modern Disney that I can imagine. Fantasyland places you inside fairy tales, asks you to imagine yourself inside of one. The fantasy at the core of Avengers Campus is that you, too, got a desirable internship at a prominent tech company. You can imagine yourself as a random underling given a laminated ID on a lanyard, passing through security to do fake skilled labor while you spend real money on Marvel products.
