DTVC Extra 15, MCU Phase 1, "Iron Man" and "Incredible Hulk"Description
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1, with "Iron Man" and "Incredible Hulk." I start by going into the history of live action adaptations of Marvel comics, plus what DC was doing, and how that led to Marvel Studios creating their own films, of which Iron Man was the first. From there I'll get into what made Iron Man work so well, and how it would eventually lead to Marvel changing the game and coming out on top above DC. In the second segment, I look at the Incredible Hulk. I talk about the old TV show and the impact it had on me, also my own experience collecting comics, and why the Ang Lee one didn't work for me. And then I wrap the episode talking about why we haven't had another Hulk film, and the lessons I think Disney could learn from how 2008 was so successful, versus the relative lack of success they've had this year.
