In my mind the MCU would not exist if not for Iron Man, but that's just me, not asking anybody to agree. Stan hasn't written a comic in 30 years but they keep putting him in cameos. OG status emeritus.Should Iron Man really get number 1 just cause it was first? The second Superman Movie was better than the first. The second Batman movie was better than the first same with Terminator. Obadiah was cartoonish AF. Horrible villain and a hero is only as interesting as their villain.
Most all the MCU villains except Loki have been lame hence the Avengers turning on each other in three separate movies instead of giving us Masters of Evil/Lethal Legion/Thunderbolts for them to fight. Stane was good for what he was, plus I love ol' Jeff Bridges. Better than the Mandarin turning out to be an actor in IM3. And I hated how they collapsed Titanium Man and Whiplash into one villain in IM2 (although I liked the silver armor in the race track scene). The OG IM remains the best of the trilogy IMO. It's funny how the old Iron Man comics were all cold war with him fighting China and Russia, now we don't want to offend them as they are movie audiences now.
If I were to knock IM off the top spot, Black Panther would be #1 no question, with Winter Soldier #2.
