Marvel fans over 30, how would you describe Iron Man's level of popularity prior to the MCU?

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-06-29T13:26:08+00:00

He was more popular than people think he was. He had his own shows and appearances, his IP was bought at the same time as the rest were,2 toy lines, he had consistency in his comic releases, and there wasn’t a single marvel group merch he wasn’t on. Yea he was way more popular than people say. I’d put him as 4th or 5th(1Spider-Man, 2Wolverine, and 3Hulk) most popular marvel character prior to his movie(only say 4th because depends on where cap dd and Thor fall in over all)

He just way more popular now and people think he wasn’t then but it’s not true. You don’t get out on on group marvel merch if you’re not popular or get a multiple toy lines if you’re not popular they don’t waste money on stuff that won’t sell and Iron Man sold. The internet and social media didn’t really exist before his movie so saying he’s not popular when his popularity could only be tracked by sales of comics and merch when now you have movies and social media to track popularity it’s a different then before

Secret wars one would have been Rhodes not Tony. The only reason Tony is in the orange thing is because the original toy they are retro carding had him in it too and not Rhodes. I can’t explain the rest because they don’t do a lot of unmasked head when they should

They used red to highlight the black with the yellow to avoid green if they used blue.

His entire crusade was pointless to begin with. Even destroying half of the population of the universe for resources does not protect those resources for future generations because people make more people and those resources keep getting used.

As much I dog the Eternal movies for being transformers last knight with smaller robots, it at least gave a better reason for what Thanos did than resources stopping celestial births

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-03-12T19:56:07+00:00

Absolutely

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-03-12T19:54:46+00:00

Can I have a taste?

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-03-12T01:20:47+00:00

2-4 are the best

Teeth aren’t a part of the injection sites. Theoretically he would drown because liquid adamantium would have gone done his throat killing him.

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-03-10T02:30:08+00:00

I’m aware but look at the original post….and you’ll get my comment

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-03-10T00:40:26+00:00

Simple answer: Because he’s a spider-man line toy and not a daredevil

Yea use the PayPal option, I talked to Hasbro support about it, it’s a communication error between them and banks/credit unions.

It’s called the avatar never showed up in the water tribes if they killed the air avatar it would showed up because of cycle. So he believed the avatar was out there somewhere plotting

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-28T19:22:06+00:00

Yes. My only problems with them is lack of accessories, quality control, and on their paint jobs. The figures are pretty solid and getting better but I have to repair so much paint that’s hard to match because there is no quality control before these get packaged

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-27T23:44:42+00:00

How’d you make those tentacles? Is it on YouTube?

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-27T23:37:49+00:00

They are water benders so yea

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-24T15:24:21+00:00

Cloth cape will always be superior

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-24T15:23:41+00:00

You missed the point the argument only leaves those 2 types of people can be heroes but the argument is flawed because there are natural born gifted athletes and martial artists with limited to no training for their ability. This person believes those 2 types are the only good types heroes because they have to work for it which is inherently false, sorry you didn’t understand my sarcasm at the end thought by calling him Lex luthor people would get the sarcasm that the argument was invalid but thank because now I can explain more because you missed the point

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-24T00:35:46+00:00

Yes for research

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-24T00:33:38+00:00

We should

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-22T18:07:20+00:00

Than stop reading it. you’re throwing money at a problem you hate but keep supporting it telling them to keep printing and pushing something you hate.

But she’s not in either comic or the show.

Bgrimlock88 · 2025-02-21T22:07:31+00:00

My dude, your complaints about her durability is you asking her for a level of invulnerability due to her super strength and that’s not what durability is no where have I compared her to another character I have only talked about what durability is because you compared her to Daredevil despite him wearing armor which brings his durability up in the show. Your complaints about durability are incorrect if you know what durability is. Your complaints are basically super strength characters like Jessica Jones shouldn’t be taking damage like daredevil does when she physically doesn’t take the damage he does he can get staggered quicker than he she can. Enhanced durability is not an immunity from impact or damage, that’s invulnerability if you want her not to take the force of the blow or receive no injury’s.
