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.

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.”

theme (theme) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they were behind as studio executive (Marvel):
The Avengers ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read).
Stark's arc across three Iron Man films peaks in Iron Man 3, and Avengers lays the track for its PTSD.
“Iron Man 3 is all him being unable to cope with the psychological like trauma of this.”

lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they were behind as studio executive (Marvel):
The Avengers ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read).
Iron Man 3 works as a quasi-sequel to The Avengers because it deals with Tony's trauma of the portal and aliens.
“Except it's it is a sort of quasi sequel to the Avengers in that it's dealing with the fact that he got sucked into a portal into space for a 2nd there.”

theme (theme) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they were behind as studio executive (Marvel):
Fu Manchu (character) ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read).
The Mandarin is a Fu Manchu stereotype that Marvel could not play straight, so Kingsley's false-flag twist threads the needle.
“Because the Mandarin is Fu Manchu.”

Iron Man 2 (2010): 1 line
-
lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they were behind as studio executive (Marvel):
Iron Man 2 ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read).
Iron Man 2's failure forced something new, giving Shane Black room to make a better third film.
“But also, that is why the 3rd one is good because the 2nd one was such a mistake that they were like, we don't know.”

J. Michael Straczynski: 1 line
-
lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were behind as Marvel exec keeping budgets low:
J. Michael Straczynski ⇒ Thor (the host's read).
The film borrows heavily from Straczynski's celebrated Thor run, including Thor spending time in the Midwest.
“the celebrated Thor arc was J. Michael Stratinsky, which is this is borrowing from heavily.”

Masters of the Universe (1987): 1 line
-
lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were behind as Marvel exec keeping budgets low:
Masters of the Universe ⇒ Thor (the host's read).
Thor is described as essentially a remake of the live-action Masters of the Universe.
“It's mostly just a remake of the live action masters of the universe movie.”

Stan Lee: 1 line
-
lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were behind as Marvel exec keeping budgets low:
Stan Lee ⇒ Thor (the host's read).
The Donald Blake identity came from Stan Lee's 60s devotion to the secret-identity trope; the movie keeps it only as a fake ID gag.
“in the 60s, Stanley was a little slavishly devoted to like the classic superhero comic trope, so you needed a secret identity”

What was said about them, by kind

industry (industry):
Ike Perlmutter → Iron Man 3.
Perlmutter's no-girl-villain toy rule changed Rebecca Hall's villain role; afterward Feige negotiated to answer to Disney instead.
“James Seamus was like, girl villains don't sell toys.”

industry (industry):
Thor → Ike Perlmutter.
Perlmutter kept early Marvel budgets low, so these movies lack grandeur and the Jotunheim CG looks poor.
“Ike Pearlmutter is keeping the budgets pretty low, so these movies just don't have the grandeur”

The no-female-villain toy mandate; Guy Pearce had no toys either, while the Mandarin got put on all the Lego vehicles anyway.
