re: How much of a joke is it that Star Wars was ever thought to be equal to Lord of the Rings?

I don’t think LOTR would have mattered if Iron Man tanked.

in terms of a MCU

also what other kind of movie would Marvel Films make?

also LOTR wasn’t even the highest grossing movies based on a fantasy novel when it came out.

That would be Harry Potter.

I give Harry Potter some credit, but Harry Potter wasn’t a risk. It was seen as insane when they split up the Deathly Hallows into two films at the time, when quite frankly they should have taken it much further and filmed the last three films (HBP and DH Parts 1 and 2) simultaneously and given it to Alfonso Cuaron with complete creative freedom and not a corporate whore like Andrew Yates. Those last three films would have been incredible, but they fricked it up through corporate meddling. The fact that they were that safe with the final three Harry Potter films show that things like Lord of the Rings and MCU were exceptions and not rules.
