    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Marvel/DC


    Furious-StyIes77 — 9 years ago(December 09, 2016 06:43 AM)

    That's why they are shoe horning RDJ into every major MCU movie.
    Marvel's financial dependency on RDJ for 1B+ blockbusters is more than proven. They can't make over 800M without him. Marvel flicks won't ever gross more than a billion without him. Once RDJ is gone the show is over.
    Now I know insecure Marvel fanboys that love talking about DC and think DC's flaws make Marvel better will bring Batman, but DC's dependance on Batman is actually not that bad since 1) Batman is their creation. Credit to them for creating such an icon 2)Batman will always be on film 3) Relying on a CBM charater is far less bad than relying on an actor who will get old and stop acting
    Believe it or not DC's future is a lot brighter than Marvel. Marvel is just the flavor of the 2010's. Once they need a new Iron Man problems will just begin.

      Tell that to Doctor Strange, or Captain America: Winter Soldier. Both did just fine without Tony Stark.

        " Marvel movies can't gross over 800 million without Robert Downey Jr."
        Winter Soldier or Doctor Strange made over 800M?

            Marvel also made over 800 million with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth (Both Avengers movies and Captain America: Civil War).
            You're statement is unsound.

              But all of those movies had RDJ so my point stands.
              Iron Man 3 however didn't have Hemsworth or Evans and it made over 1B, so your point is proven wrong.

                Oh one Iron Man sequel made over a billion. The rest were The Avengers and Civil War
                So again, your statement is unsound.

                    Yes and it's the only solo MCU film (with no other main Avenger having a major role) that has made that much.
                    Oh and it was actually a mediocre film. Iron Man is just that popular.
                    You're a Marvel fanboy who will justify everything Marvel does, but these guys aren't idiots, they know perfectly who's their cash cow and for that reason they will used it as much as they can.

                      Iron Man 3 is the only MCU movie
                      starring
                      RDJ that made over 800 million.

                        Ok so besides Iron Man 3, both Avengers and Civil War made over 800 million because of RDJ?

                          Yes.
                          Iron Man has proven to be the only 1B dollar MCU superhero.

                            You still dont make sense because The Avengers is a team of superheroes: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Black Widow, The Vision..
                            And then they fight each other in Civil War with Spider-Man included.
                            I guess Justice League will make over 800 million
                            only
                            because of Ben Affleck/Batman..

                                Iron Man has proven to be the only 1B dollar MCU superhero.
                                And you say that because of Iron Man 3..

                                      Why bring the DCEU?
                                      Why the insecurity?
                                      Do you think DC's flaws make Marvel movies better?

                                        because your a DCEU fan gay that's hating on marvel because its more successful, DCs flaws do not make marvel better, they were already good to begin with.

                                          So when RDJ leaves the MCU, will Tom Holland be the next "RDJ"?
