Robert Downey Jr. has been making the rounds on award shows after his spectacular performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. While he has been moving on to bigger things in his professional life, his time as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will always be treasured by fans.
Despite walking away almost five years ago, the presence and impact he left on the billion-dollar franchise can never be forgotten.
Recently, Ringwitdahoodie on Instagram shared an edit of one of the most iconic scenes in the MCU. The video is so beautifully breathtaking that fans cannot help but look back at the golden days of the franchise, missing when it was difficult for them to not deliver what fans wanted.
A New Iron Man Edit Is Nothing Short Of A Spectacle
Ringwitdahoodie is extremely well-known on Instagram for having some very smooth and well-made edits. Recently, they shared one that featured Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. More specifically the scene of Tony Stark suiting up in the first film, going to attack the terrorists inhabiting Gulmira.
The edit can only be described as a masterpiece, with the music going perfectly well with the sounds of the suit being worn. Many even talked about how the quality of the clips was out of this world, with this scene having rarely been witnessed with such great clarity.
Interestingly enough, some were prompted to talk about the franchise as a whole and how things have changed for the worse.
Robert Downey Jr’s Departure Left A Hole In The Heart Of The MCU
There is a very clear coincidence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that can be credited to the unfortunate decline that it has been facing for the last few years. As Robert Downey Jr. left the franchise, the viewership of the projects that came out has been steadily decreasing.
While some could say that the actor took some of the fans with him, a fact that is undeniable is that the quality of the action, story, and projects as a whole has also lessened. One of the biggest reasons for this could be the fact that Marvel had been heavily dependent on the dynamic presence of the actor, whether it was conscious or unconscious.
Robert Downey Jr. stood in the middle of the MCU; a living, breathing entity that gave a life to a franchise like no other. The emptiness left in his absence is something that can never be filled, regardless of how many beloved characters are brought from the comics.
