Can anyone believe that it has been 15 years since Iron Man kickstarted the MCU?
Though there are of course many fans of the comic books or just the genre in general that will have headed to see Iron Man as soon as it blasted its way into theaters, for many the MCU is something that will have happened around them before they actively got involved. Over on Reddit, one user is asking fans to swim through nostalgic waters and remember what their first experience of the franchise was.
They recall that they initially skipped on the first Iron Man film, and cannot truly say if it was The Avengers or Iron Man 2 that brought them into the fold.
For some it really was where it all started.
It took others a little while to come in, but who can resist the lure of Paul Rudd?
This person thought they had outgrown comic book movies, little did they know that The Avengers would pull them right in.
Though Iron Man may have been forced down their throat, they eventually got on board after seeing Thor.
Some people came in as things were getting gritty with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Now, this is a weird one to come in on.
Another user doesn’t understand how they would have known what the hell was going on.
The way that all the MCU movies now intertwine it does make it hard to truly understand what is going on without having seen certain movies from the past. Luckily, if you really want to catch up, they are all available on Disney Plus.
