- Avengers ($1.5bn) - Iron Man 3 ($1.2bn) - Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4bn) - Captain America: Civil War ($1.2bn) - Black Panther ($1.3bn and counting) - Avengers: Infinity War ($1bn and counting) Total box office for the entire MCU is around $16 billion, with total production budget of $3.5 billion. Shit can't complain when you have made back over 4x your investment It's not beyond the realms of possibility for Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel and Avengers 4 to push them over the $20 billion mark.

Everything they've thrown out there so far has been a financial success Whenever they finally do have a clunker it's going to be off a movie that no one predicted

The only issue that I have right now is that I have no interest in both movies until Avenger Part 2 Antman is cool,but inthe middle of the most epic story is kinda... there? And Captain Marvel will need a pretty bad-ass trailer. And after Avengers Part 2,comes the big hitters like GoG vol 3. Ant Man is the lynchpin to the overall story going forward. His movie coming out at this time is not a throwaway filler. Plus we get some Michelle Pfeiffer action!

Everything they've thrown out there so far has been a financial success Whenever they finally do have a clunker it's going to be off a movie that no one predicted Strictly speaking, we've already had the first Marvel failure. Incredible Hulk took $263 million on a $150 million budget, which means it most likely lost money based on the rule of thumb that says box office total must be double the production budget to break even.

Well from the technical standpoint yes since they include that movie into the universe before their actually was one

Seems like it was supposed to be the end-credits stinger, but they put it before the credits to make sure nobody missed it.

And events from that movie have been referenced in other MCU films. Banner specifically mentions the time he "broke" Harlem in Avengers 1 (even though he was played by a different guy in Incredible Hulk).

The universe was in place from the very beginning. Marvel Studios entire existence was hinged on The Avengers being a smash hit. Of course, by the time Avengers arrived Disney had bought the studio, but the initial plan was to go for broke with Avengers. If it didn't perform, they'd have been out of business.

This is what the DC movie universe failed so epically in as far as I’m concerned. Marvel handed them a damn blueprint. Introduce your heavy hitters in their solo movies. Introduce the secondary heroes through them. Lead up to a major issue that leads to them all teaming up to take it on. How hard was it?

The insane thing is that not only did Marvel do the blueprint for building to a major team film like The Avengers, but that film hinted at an even bigger player behind the scenes (Thanos) that lurked around the periphery of the universe until the Avengers were going through all of their squabbles and then he struck. Anyone in The Avengers by definition had some issue with Thanos since he was behind Loki's attack on NYC. The Guardians of the Galaxy had obvious problems with Thanos since he backed Ronan's play until Ronan basically went rogue. As a matter of fact you really do need to see GOTG 1 in order to get IW. It introduces Thanos to some degree, the dysfunctional Gamora/Nebula relationship, Drax's vendetta with Thanos, and so on.
The sad thing is that Justice League sort of tried this with Steppenwolf, since he name dropped Darkseid at one point. The problem is the film didn't make any profit so I doubt we'll even see Darkseid, which sucks since he should be the biggest bad in the DC Universe.

Also doesn’t help that a solo Batman flick should have been In their pre-JL plans. Instead it’s stuck in limbo because they have their heads lodged up their rears.

As much as I like Affleck as Batman, the fact that they cast a guy who wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to play the role to begin with and has already confirmed he's looking for an exit route after just two ensemble movies was a big mistake as well.

He wasn't looking to leave in the early stages and he's said many times in the past that he wasn't leaving. Of course, that might've changed given the performances of Batman vs. Superman, Justice League, his divorce, etc. The sad reality of all of this is DC wasn't ruined by Snyder or Affleck. The studio executives who had all these expectations, mandates, and constantly interfering with the directors vision rather than allowing them to do what they felt was right for the story, characters, and overall quality of the film is what put the DCEU in the limbo that its in. Snyder's vision that initially started with Superman could've worked with time, care, and patience.
