On May 2, 2008, Iron Man was released, creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Would this be a notable event to add? -- DannyS712 ( talk) 23:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
@ Toddst1: WP:DOYSTYLE is an essay for the Days of the Year Wikiproject. Furthermore, I would argue that this is not merely "trivia." However, on the content guideline page ( WP:DOY), the "nutshell" lists "Accomplishments in the arts ...[that] are particularly important." Below, I have included a number of sources that document the importance of the MCU, and of Iron Man, as well as selected quotes from each.
"'It’s Marvel’s universe,' one rival executive told me recently. 'We just live in it.' It is hard to imagine Marvel’s run stretches back only a decade, but it all began on May 2, 2008, when Paramount released Iron Man, launching Marvel as a real studio." [1]
"At first, movie critics and the casual movie audience saw these comic book movies as a positive trend, but nothing more. In 2012, those same people were proven wrong as Marvel officially took over the film industry when the Avengers assembled for the first time on screen." [2]
"Iron Man managed to take a different track, combining visually stimulating action, great character work and set the foundation for a stunningly interconnected world populated by superheroes." [3]
"Starting with 2008's Iron Man, the universe launched with a simple tag scene at the end of the film, showing that Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark was not alone in the hero-verse." [4]
"10 years and 18 movies in, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has taken a superhuman grip of both the box office and modern popular culture — and, for now at least, it shows no signs of letting go." [5] Sources:
Accordingly, I will not be responding to any more edits from you, other than responding to your comment about my request for permissions. I do not want to get into a talk-page war. If anyone else would like to discuss the inclusion or not of this article, please don't let this exchange dissuade you from doing so. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 03:35, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
I’ve moved the entry about the dissolution of ETA, from 3rd May, TO 2nd May: as this is when the Wikipedia entry on the group says they dissolved [ [1]].
