      I had David Tennant in mind and just scrolled down the comments to make sure I wasn't repeating anything.
      Exactly that, any attempt to bring a great character back is just for a bit of character assassination; I'd rather they left him dead. Sitting him down for a lecture about pronouns, his misogynistic, playboy streak in the beginning and any accusations of toxic masculinity by some purple haired they/them would be totally ignoring the redemption arc that saving the universe at the expense of his life affords a character.
      I can't even go back and watch "old" new Who now. I look at Tennant and all I see is a sellout. I don't want to see that with RDJ too.

      Well for starters getting a set long term vision by establishing an overarching plot.
      Have a clear picture in mind fr each and every new character that is introduced; u shld have a rough idea as to where u wanna take that character and whether that character features in this grand vision of theirs or not. If not, keep the character's story arc seperate from the rest of the continuity and self contained so that audiences can follow them separately.
      Try not to appease certain groups and elements by lazily written dialogue pandering and overall storylines hellbent on proving a certain point.

      I'm certain that Disney execs watch prominent UA-cam critics and read the comments. They know what their audience thinks about their crappy products. It's incredible to see a business go against its own customers to the degree that they will pretend real criticism doesn't exist and even attack their own audience. Sadly, the reality is the extremely wealthy people at the top want diverse/gay/feminist/trans propaganda so that's what they'll keep producing. RDJs return would be like David Tennant's return in Doctor Who. It would just be a hook to get people in to watch some preachy garbage.

    @paulcunneen3519 Місяць тому +1

    Look, we all want the same thing; we want the MCU to be great again.
    I thought at the time back in 2019 the MCU was likely to decline in quality because it had been unnaturally good and consistent for a decade. I mean, look at any long lasting series of films and they have ups and downs.
    Their strategy was highly risky: we're gonna take our MCU, kill off two main beloved characters Tony & Natasha) and age off third (Cap) , increase the quality of production in films and TV and assume we can maintain quality and not hurt our brand. In the words of Iron Man - 'Not a great plan". They also had bad lick- the pandemic, the delay of getting out Gaurdians 3 that was supposed to start the new slate of films, and the death of Chadwick Boseman.
    As its gone the movies have been a mixed bag of very good (Spidey3 & Gaurdains) to poor (Eternals ). Its the Disney Plus shows that have too often been unwatchable (Secret Invasion). But even here we also have gems like Moonknoght and Werewolf By Night.
    Now that some MCU movies have tanked at the box-office Marvel seems to have gotten the message. They have slowed production- Echo was dropped in a way so people wouldn't make too much of it & Ironheart put on a shelf somewhere. They are reworking Daredevil til its something fans will like.
    I think the real problem of the MCU 2021-2023 is even Feiige spread himself too thin and didn't closely supervise everything the way he used to. He let a bunch of his top creatives go (Joss Whedon, James Gunn & the Russo Brothers) and brought in folks who didn't quite know what they were doing. But this is fixable.
    So, I would welcome back RDJ in a well-written Marvel movie. (I wouldn't get Joss Whedon to direct as he seems to have a Jeckyl & Hyde personality but I'd bring him back to write in a nan0-second). I agree we shouldn't cheapen straks death but imagine the following scenario: Evil Invincible Iron Man threatens to destroy our universe so another Tony Stark (played by Downey) from another universe is recruited to help save ours. .Only he LACKS CONFIDENCE! Hes insecure! Everyone is begging him to gain Iron Mans smarts and swagger gain.We see him grow in confidence as he watches the record of OUR Tony Stark (and maybe a pep talk from Pepper?) and he helps foil the Evil Iron Man in the end.
    I think that could work.

  • @LetsGetitBoah
    @LetsGetitBoah Місяць тому

    I'd only be down for this if RDJ made Disney sign a contract saying his character had certain stipulations, such as not being dumbed down and turned into a joke.
    It can happen, the main actor in the series Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada said he wouldn't sign on to it unless they promised to ensure casting would be historically accurate.... Basically making sure they didn't DEI the cast.

    If Disney cared about writing, I wouldn't mind an alternate universe Tony Stark played by Tom Cruise based in the 1980's. It be fun to give him a mullet too like in the old 80's animated series lol You could even have him time travel to the 1960's which is what the new fantastic 4 movie time line is going to be in. He be the one from the future in this case. It be more compelling to make his character super intense like tom cruise in real life , but to the point where it's funny to see him interact with other avengers because he comes off as a lunatic.

    If disney brings back iron man, i guess first of all they are in a desperate situation and they need money... 2, like you said they want us to live again the glorious days of the mcu but by doing that it wont add anything to his character...
    I have theories in mind that could be potentially interesting but i don't know if disney will get him back:
    1) Tony stark could have created another AI in secret with the technology to save his intellect, so the other marvel heroes discovers it and they could get some help from him for further threats
    2) tony could come from another earth and maybe have a plan ahead and one step ahead plan in case anything goes wrong, it could be another version of him that already planned something in secret that the heroes doesn't know about...
    3) tony could be brought back as an AI with the little guy from Iron man 3 which was at his funeral and grew older at the time, it could introduce iron lad as the next iron man and maybe have a role in armor wars along side rodhey who was replaced by a skrull in secret invasion so they could bring also knowledge for morgan his daughter
    4) tony could be an evil version of iron man and doesn't come from earth but instead from another dimension and could potentially have evil plans on taking over the avengers and bring along with him the superior persona
    5) tony could have been replaced been a skrull all along and doesn't know that his technology has been sold around the world and the real tony stark had a secret lab hidden and nowhere to be found whefe he could operate to destroy the company that stole his technology
    6) tony stark could have found the way to travel through time and meet a younger version of himself and warn him about the future, also he could have met the f4 on the way and discover the technology to travel through dimensions as well and prevent any threats that could come from out of space and time

    I mean, yes, a 100% - but then again, Death is a revolving door in comics, and while I'd also fear for bringing his Tony Stark (or rather, an alternate version of him) back to the MCU destroying the legacy, we also have to think about what can be done to turn things around. Writing better stories is certainly desperately needed, but there's so much more missing from movies and series of this MCU "Dark Age" (I count WandaVision to the before-times here). Who are the heroes we should actually care about in the current phase? And what can they do to help us start to care about them? Where are the truly weak links and how do we get rid of them in a way that feels right, and replace them with worthy figures? Do heads need to roll at the top and new (or old) voices be brought (back) to the table(s)? With people losing interest in the whole enterprise, there certainly needs to be an acknowledgement of the problem first.

    They should give Captain Marvel another movie. Bring in really good writers. Have her go through a huge change. Allow her to grow as a character. Perhaps she should be pursued for her crimes of mass murder. Allow her character to be humbled and likable. She should experience loss and self-doubt
    Then rise from her fall. And right at the height of her turnaround, kill her off.
    Have Rogue drain her life-force out. It would be the greatest Captain Marvel movie of all. Her last actions redeems herself and inspire the new Avengers.

    I would only Robert Downey Jr's return if he is written well. I mean, I am guessing since he would only come back in Secret Wars. The next Avengers/Secret Wars movies better be as great as the "Endgame" saga. I am hoping that the next Marvel movies have to feel more like a reboot because that is what Marvel needs right now. The last good Marvel movie was Spider-Man: No way Home. Everything else after that felt half-assed.

    Bring a version of him back just before Deadpool destroys the multiverse.

    The problem is less the choice of characters and actors... the problem is in the writing room and in the director's seat.
    Seriously, compare what big Hollywood names we had for directors while the MCU was hot... and then look at the absolute no-names we got with all the D+ Marvel "8 episode shows" ....
    if they bring back RDJ, then it needs to be in his own movie and John Favreau needs to at least direct it if not write it.
    If it's just some jumping off point to push "Iron Heart" instead ... get off my lawn.

    The original Ironman has a gritty, grounded feel that sets it apart from its contemporary kinda-silly, kinda-spandex superhero content. It's my favorite MCU movie. RDJ needs to hold onto that legacy and stay far, far away from Disney Marvel.

    oppenheimer showed how great of an actor he is and as well had iconic roles long before iron man which he acted his ass of as those characters & of course gave his all as tony stark and we thank him for that but the helmet should be left hung up and for him to do other projects but of course it’s his choice what he does with his career going forward.

    Disney doing bad live action films is the norm. Its them doing good live action movies that's the exception. Disney Quality? Check out 'That Darn Cat' from 1965. That's the usual level of Disney live action films. or 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' (1969).

    Everyone would go nuts and say it saves everything. But all it would do is ruin the impact of his death. So thanks for bringing that to light. I am grateful to experience the best/peak era MCU. And it sucks to see it became a shell of what it was. We went from people wanting every franchise to mimic its success, to being over it. Well kinda.

  • @stephenschroeder6567
    @stephenschroeder6567 Місяць тому

    Thank you, Jay. These are all valid concerns and conclusions. But consider exactly what RDJ said in the context of your assessment of current MCU/Disney status. RDJ might have had a fantasy moment of the *volume* of money he could command if some sort of deal could be reached. There's no way he comes back without a historic amount of cash, merchandising deals, residuals, etc., etc. He could be looking at the greatest single haul in cinema history. That would be fun to fanaticize about no matter who the actor was. RDJ: "Sure, I'll come back. Here's my amount. Yes, it is that many zeros. You want me? That's the price." ;-)

    They are doing the exact same thing with Hugh Jackman. Absolutely one hundred percent agree with you. I'm actually completely done with marvel for the next few years. The last guardians of the galaxy pretty much is the end of the era for me. It was a nice ending to that trilogy.And it was a good ending to the entire MCU for now. I also believe in my heart that deadpool three will be a disaster.

    I think it’s ridiculous to think that the MCU can continue without utilizing its top tier characters like Iron Man or Steve Rodgers Captain America regardless of Endgame’s ending. These are comic book characters and no comic book character stays dead forever. What? Disney isn’t allowed to bring back a character that’s been in the pop culture landscape in some form another for the last 60 years? These are comic book characters and comic book stories. Stop taking this stuff so seriously. One of the major things killing the MCU right now besides bad writing and agenda driven story telling has been it’s move to less popular Z grade characters that lack charismatic stars like Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans. They killed Iron Man, killed T’Challa Black Panther, aged out Captain America, nerfed and destroyed classic Hulk, made Thor a punchline and foolishly thought crap like Captain Marvel and Shang Chi would suffice as suitable replacements. Going back to the well of classic marvel characters and storytelling is EXACTLY what the MCU needs. Again this ain’t Schindler’s List - Endgame was a comic book movie and a good one, but this reverence for that ending is just laughable to me. Enjoy this stuff for what it is.

    I was one of those that heeded the warning signs of the impending m-she-u & tapped out of EVERYTHING marvel after end game. The whole super hero genre should have taken a long hiatus after that in my opinion. As you say jay bringing back rdj would piss on the whole infinity saga legacy. but it would be such a classic disney move. These people have proven that they are clueless clowns.
