Breaking Iron Man - Writers Room
Channel: Joss Korvus
Date: 2019-09-30

With the dust settling on phase 3 of the Marvel universe it's time to take a look back at where it all began. Iron Man wasn't the first Marvel movie but it was the first to hook a wide audience.

Iron Man entertains and hooks the audience emotionally, qualities we seldom get from action and adventure movies. Tony Stark would go on to entertain and emotionally involve audiences for over a decade, in the process launching one of the most successful movie franchises of all time.

This writers workshop will breakdown the original Iron Man movie to see how it was put together, through structure and character, in an attempt to understand how that quality was woven into the story.

I create these video breakdowns to help with my own story craft, I hope you learn something too. If you do or don't let me know below.

If you have suggestions for future breakdowns let me know below too.

Next up is The Godfather.
