And Shane Black, IM3 is very much a movie of his (despite the the villain that we got wasn't the one he intended)
IM3 is such a Shane Black movie you get arguments to this day over whether it's actually the best or the worst Iron Man movie - it's tone and style is so separate from Favreau's
Eh, throw Kenneth Branagh a bone too. Someone came up with those dutch angles.
There are very much some heavy "Shakespeare in space" elements to Thor, you can see why they wanted Branagh. You know what, since ERA loves tiers...
