Aliens (1986): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Aliens ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The frozen-find cold open structurally echoes the discovery sequence that opens Aliens.

Iron Man 2 (2010): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The Stark Expo of the 1940s is the origin of the Expo seen in Iron Man 2, now as the full World's Fair version.

RoboCop (2014): 1 line

Stan Lee: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they produced: Stan Lee ⇒ Iron Man (the maker said so: Stan Lee interviews). The film follows the first comic issue's origin; Lee wanted to make an industrialist war profiteer compelling to hippie kids.
    “here's like an industrialist, war profiteer, Laos, and make him like compelling to these, like, hippie kids.”

Truth: Red, White & Black (comic): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Truth: Red, White & Black (comic) ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The one-off serum process loosely connects to the Truth miniseries retcon about earlier black experimentees.
    “Truth is a book that essentially theorizes that there was like a Tuskegee airman.”

Iron Man 3 (2013): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they produced: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). The Iron Man trilogy is closed into a circle by the flashback to the party and Becca Hall and Pierce.
    “as individualistic as this movie is, it actually like... It's bringing the 1st 2 complete.”

  2. theme (theme) · through Iron Man (2008), which they produced: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 3 later parodies the Osama-type Mandarin expectation that Iron Man originally planned (Ten Rings leader, no magic).
    “And then Iron Man 3 wisely parodies that expectation.”

Black Panther (2018): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Black Panther (the host's read). Vibranium, the shield metal, leads to Wakanda; adamantium is the X-Men analogue the MCU couldn't use.
    “So instead they use vibranium as their super metal.”

Captain Marvel (2019): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The film goes back to the Steve Rogers style of origin story.

Chris Pratt: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they produced: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Chris Pratt (the host's read). The beefcake shot of Pratt echoes Chris Evans out of the tank, and Marvel now puts one in every trailer.
    “It's Chris Evans coming out of the tank, Captain America.”

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Iron Man (2008), which they produced: Iron Man ⇒ Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (the host's read). That film parodies the page-flipping Marvel logo, which opens Iron Man.
