Iron Man, Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian
Before Iron Man, a lot of people told Marvel that it was insane to try to do a movie of a helmeted and armored character and show character emotions. Those critics were amazed by how well simple things like the “face cams” worked (though Marvel’s comics had decades of that kind of stuff).
The Mandalorian is just Favreau showing off, right? Bet Favreau wishes he could screen it for some of those early detractors.
