Lol idiot I'm wasting your time by clarifying the point the other person was making because you were being pedantic and not actually addressing the core point? No shit I responded to you first because I was clarifying the point and pointing out your pedantry.

that Iron Man was some obscure comic character before the movies that no one knows is complete bullshit.

Jesus, I even said pedantry and hyperbole in the original comment. You can't be stupid enough to think anyone here thinks literally no one knows who Iron Man was before the MCU.

**"That's the point. The MCU pioneered the biggest blockbuster franchise off the back of a not very popular hero that could easily have flopped and didn't have a guaranteed set amount of seats in theaters like big a-list heroes.

Look at how effortlessly Batman gets his own movies and how even terrible Batman films does decently well financially."**

You're wasting your own time by being narrow-minded and ignorant.
