10 Biggest Mistakes In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
9. Iron Man Too Bad
Is The Incredible Hulk the worst Marvel movie thus far? Despite having a pretty vocal fan base, it would have to take its turn under the microscope, as would Thor: The Dark World. However, conduct a poll to determine the most disappointing MCU entry and chances are Iron Man 2 would end up taking home the wooden spoon. A prime example of striking while the iron is too hot to handle, Marvels decision to fast-track an Iron Man sequel as soon as the first film proved a success gave them a window of under two years to dot the is and cross the ts not long enough at the best of times, but more of an issue when the is and ts are found in the words Avengers Initiative. In the wake of Iron Mans massive opening weekend, Marvel Studios wasted no time filling up their slate, almost immediately announcing proposed dates for Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers. Thor was originally going to be introduced in Iron Man 2, and while a change of plans may have worked to the God of Thunders advantage, Tony Stark had to make do with a timeshare situation with S.H.I.E.L.D. which undermined the star in his own sequel.
