@Favre1fan93: Not to champion unsourced content, but In [YEAR], the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". is the standard wording found on virtually every film listed National Film Registry#Films. We're going to get a lot of attempts to change it back if we choose to deviate from this convention. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:37, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Saying that this was released as the first film of phase 1 of the MCU is ridiculous nonsense.
If this movie had lost money there would not have been any other Marvel movies for a while and maybe not anymore at all.
The fact that it was a success is why there even was an MCU. You should talk to somebody who lived through the time before you start writing ridiculous things like that, that is just plain freaking ridiculous. Just like everybody else who makes movies, they had no idea if this was going to be a success or not. They made the best movie they could and they took their chances. But there were no guarantees it was going to be a success at the box office 166.194.136.61 (talk) 00:40, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, it is the first film of phase 1 of the MCU. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:27, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It ends with Nick Fury mentioning the Avenger Initiative to Tony Stark so the plans were clearly there. The Incredible Hulk was released merely six weeks later and would absolutely have been released no matter how Iron Man turned out. Robert Downey Jr. has a cameo as Tony Stark. We don't know what would have happened if Iron Man did poorly but it's not like Marvel suddenly said "Hey, this is popular, let's turn it into a series."

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn, yes, it appears the Jaws example threw me and I misinterpreted PRIMARYFILM. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:37, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:PRIMARYFILM doesn't allow any kind of PDABs. The added ambiguity of the proposed title does not help readers at all. 162 etc. (talk) 20:46, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Favre, I believe you've misinterpreted PFILM. The guideline specifically prohibits film articles from using partial disambiguation, see the Titanic example in the bulleted list. Under PFILM, the only options for this film would be Iron Man (2008 film) or Iron Man, and obviously that second one is out of the question. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:14, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
