>If it’s not A list characters
What most people forget is that when they started making the marvel movies they had already sold off the rights to their biggest properties decades before. Marvel was left with a bunch of their b-and-c tier heroes they had to start building on.
Iron Man is hot shit now, but before RDJ starred in the first movie he was literally no one's favorite character. Same with captain america and thor. They're recognizable, someone might have read the comics, but outside of adventures in babysitting (and my dad) no one is that big of a thor fan (my dad's side of the family are all norwegian immigrants and he tried to pass it off as a family name, but my mom called his bullshit and they went with another name that was far less cool).
