On May 2, 2008, almost 10 years ago to the day, Robert Downey Jr. declared that he was Iron Man. At the time, no one imagined that would become an iconic moment in cinematic history. The success of that film launched what is known today as the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the MCU. Since Iron Man, 17 other movies have been entered into the MCU, all of which lead up to today. Tonight, Avengers: Infinity War is released.
I’ve spent the last week or so working my way through re-watching the MCU movies. I didn’t get a chance to get through them all, but I distinguished the “necessary” ones and worked my way through those.
