Iron Man 1: The Foundation of the MCU
Entertainment - Iron Man 1: The Foundation of the MCU.
Iron Man 1 was the first film in that franchise, forming the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tony Stark is the billionaire genius who became a superhero. This was the first film in an iconic franchise that was part of the universe of Marvel movies to come.
Is Iron Man 1 the BEST MCU film? It's the first MCU film; the best is not so clear. Solo film? Maybe, but Homecoming exists. Sequels are better like Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnarok. Then you have team-up films like GotG and Avengers... Like, no, it's not the best; it's just the first.
The one thing I will say is that it is the most pure out of all the MCU movies. No other Marvel movie interfered.
There wasn't a formula to rely on, and they were just making a film that felt like a film at the end of the day. Now most MCU movies feel like processed candy. It caught the audience's attention, and we were all ready for more.
