      Surely Batman Begins which Iron Man borrowed its structure from.

      Batman Begins was 1000x more influential stylistically. A million movies copied the gritty tone. Iron Man just launched Marvel, but it's "influence" was weak.

      1. "just launched marvel" is a heck of an undersell 2. the light vs. gritty tones of comic book movies debate had gone on a lot longer than this. It still goes on. Lots of movies still flirt with the influence of both in lots of directions. This isn't either / or.

      I know what you're saying but I could name a dozen movies off the top of my head that were definitely pitched as "The Batman Begins of (fill in the blank).", and few from Iron Man outside the MCU. BB is like Pulp Fiction was for 90's "smart" action movies like Way of the Gun.

      I mean... I was working out here even back then and I had a sense of what was getting pitched. Batman was a known quantity. The big thing that ironman influenced was that you could make big money with a lesser known comic IP and it literally created a run on the market.

          It was also taken as given "proof" that you could launch a movie at comic-con and that these people were the most valuable untapped resource and, again, created a mega groundswell that the entire industry followed. And it was all the ironman *trailer* / ensuing success.

          You're quite right, I agree, though I still think that this is more of a "business" influence than an artistic one...and now I'm really cutting it finely so I'll say that I'm glad to have had this discussion. Very enlightening.

          Did you read The Big Picture about the Disney/Marvel/MCU takeover of Hollywood? SO good, and if you haven't you'd love it.https://www.amazon.com/Big-Picture-Fight-Future-Movies-ebook/dp/B073XBSMVY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+big+picture&qid=1588714978&sr=8-2 …

          That had already been proven by X-Men in 2000. Previously the biggest exposure it had was the 90s cartoon. It scored the biggest opening weekend for a non-sequel in history. It was at that point studios started looking hard at lesser-known characters.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/05/20/x-men-a-box-office-history/amp/ …
