We also have to remember there used to be the Batman TV show with Adam West. Then there were the Batman movies with Mr Freeze and the like... The Penguin? All of that stuff that used to be DC but then came Iron Man which redefined what a superhero movie could be. Comics fan/writer/director Kevin Smith realized the MCU was doing something different... something right.

Joss Whedon (Avengers movie) is known for handling a large cast very well. A small nit: in the comics Happy was a professional boxer before he became Tony's bodyguard, but he barely held his own against one opponent. I suppose they writers couldn't resist the humor.

The movies don't follow the comics exactly. They generally take basic storylines, then write their own story around it. This movie is a combination of like 5 separate comic stories. For example, Iron Man's first villain was Wong Chu, a North Vietnamese military commandor. Unlike the movie, where his villain was Stane, his former business partner who became Warmonger. He mostly fought communist threats, and random villain if the week type foes.

The beauty of having the threads of shield is that it makes essentially all of phase 1 really Act 1 of a gigantic continuous story.

They don't give the element a name in the movie but in the novelization they reveal that it's vibranium an element you will be hearing more of in future Marvel movies

There's no funnier line in an MCU movie than "you look like two seals fighting over a grape".

Hulk isn't a happy happy joy joy character, he's drama, his stories are tragic and sad. Hulk's famous theme song from the 70s tv show is called The Lonely Man, written to make grown men cry. I always wished he would meet The Littlest Hobo (A German shepherd) and they could end every episode with a happy song, Hobo's theme is called "Maybe Tomorrow", as in maybe tomorrow he'll find a forever home.

Initially, the filmmakers had shot the scene with Tony Stark saying a more traditional line, where he was going to deny being Iron Man when asked by the press. However, during post-production, the director Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Stark, came up with the idea to change the line to "I am Iron Man" as a way to subvert the typical superhero movie trope of secret identities. The decision to change the line to "I am Iron Man" was made after the principal photography had wrapped, and the scene was reshot to include this now-famous line.

I thought he was a dude playing another dude acting like Iron Man.

This is the first film in which we get introduced to the War Machine, the armor that Rhodey wears. The element that Tony synthesized was vibranium. It's extremely difficult and expensive to do so, and Howard was the only one who had the original atomic diagram for it (that he hid in the diorama for Tony to find). In the comics, Ivan Vanko was the Crimson Dynamo, a Soviet version of Iron Man with a much larger and bulkier suit (as was befitting the portrayal of Russian tech back in the day). For the MCU he was combined with another villain, Whiplash, to become that character in this film. The Ex-Wife also likely works, it just didn't have enough arming time since he fired it from such short range. If it's so destructive, you don't want to be anywhere near it when it goes off, so shooting it at a dude 30 meters away is probably a bad idea, and thus it wouldn't have armed by then.

@goldenageofdinosaurs7192

That’s a good point about the ex-wife

Whiplash was Iron Man's deadliest enemy, next to the Living Laser. Anton Vanko was the first Crimson Dynamo, Russia's answer to Iron Man. Black Widow was a Russian spy sent to wreck Stark Industries, but when she failed her mission, she defected and joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

For some reason, everyone misses the Stark/Vanko connection at the beginning, so don't feel bad. They give the full reveal later but it would be cool to see you pick up on that for when they meet on the racetrack.

47:21 I never even thought about this until you mentioned it but all the Iron Man movies are very West Coast centred, until they venture to New York which makes sense as the comics do heavily feature New York as the hub of alot of big Superhero's and companies. Hulk is also more of a West Coast character with Nevada and Las Vegas being two key locations in his stories but the 2008 went more East Coast with New York showing up to the end of that movie. If the movie was an origin story we would've been set in Nevada again. 49:12 I'm kind of the same but I do love me a good complex villain but more fall in the line of morally grey characters. Magneto is a great example who I adore. X-Men 97 has been doing an amazing job at showcasing villains in an amazing light more so than any live action superhero movie has done in the past decade I'd argue. I like the politics and conflicts between factions and that's why The X-Men have always been one of my favourite comic books. At the moment I feel like X-Men 97 and Invincible are the kings of the superhero genre. Cannot recommend these two shows enough.

You will be introduced to a villain in "Thor" that I believe you won't find boring at all.

When Nat said "I do whatever with who(m)ever...", Tony decided he wanted to put on the robot suits with his buddy and f* some sh* up. Pretending to be out of control was to incite Rhodey to put on the mark II and the fight was a tutorial on how to use it. When Tony said "if you want it, take it" it was a literal invitation. The devious bastard found a way to take care of everything without letting on about his troubles.

God damn Pepper's reaction to Natasha flipping Happy makes me smile every time! Watching it through again with you it was a fun time. It's not the strongest movie in the MCU, but it was an enjoyable ride. It might have helped that it followed up The Incredible Hulk. I'm getting excited to see how it comes together again with The Avengers!

The shield subplot is probably one of my favorites as it helps sets up the Agents of Sheild tv seires that starts after Avengers 1. I would recommend watching it as the first two seasons weave into the mcu movies and then diverge outards but still having nods and refrerences and broader backstory but it still is very good.

I was underwhelmed by this movie, thinking the villain wasn't very interesting, and the stakes weren't that high. But you reminded me that the most interesting thing about Iron Man is his character - the flaws, the growth, and the relationship to other characters - and in that respect, this movie perfectly fits into Tony's MCU's arc.

Jon Favreau and RDJ are 1000% responsible for setting the tone for the Marvel MCU. Hulk felt very much like a one-off and is not similar in tone to the rest. The first appearance of Thor also has a very different feel, it was done by Kenneth Branaugh and has a much more Shakespearean feel. But they step away from that, thank God. The humor in these movies is an iconic choice and one that makes the Marvel movies infinitely better than the DC movies (Superman, Aquaman, Batman). You will be amazed by how interconnected the movies are - the references and callbacks are SO fantastic.

Tony Stark has one of the best character arcs in the mcu, it allows him to grow so much without changing who he always was.

You have to see the MCU as a long epic novel with each movie being a chapter, they don't end when the bad guy is caught, they continue building and growing, a Part 2 is just a continuation of his origins, Tony is still learning how to be a hero and once he does that he has to learn how to work with a team and be a leader, like evolution his and everyone else's origins are still going on. Think of this movie as part of the origins of The Avengers team as a whole, each solo movie is like their audition to be recruited onto the team.

36:56 - “you guys, we’re not just fighting one villain, we’re fighting an army of drones!” …whelp, glad you like that-it’s how like 78% of these end

21:42 Rhodey basically took the suit to protect Tony. He saw how destructive Tony was being and felt it was better for a friend to take it than some lackey taking it. You see how protective Rhodey is of the suit by taking the arc reactor out before Hammer got it. I would love to see this play out in court since Tony’s suits are trademarked especially with Hammer using the suit at the expo to promote his company. 35:29 and a great part as well. He put himself in the same scene as Scarlett Johansson changing clothes. 37:08 hearing that gave me a thought of an awesome scene with Deadpool. Tony is away and Deadpool finds his way into the Hall of Armor and plays dress up with all of Iron Man’s suits. Even mix and matches items on the suits.

So I heard Roger Corman passed away last night. Roger Corman was a legendary filmmaker, king of the B-movies, and launched so many careers. So yeah, definitely, I gotta recommend a movie to honor his passing. There are honestly so many horror movies I could choose from, but I think it really comes down to one choice: One of his Edgar Allan Poe movies. His Edgar Allan Poe are celebrated and regarded as some of Roger Corman's best work, and for good reason. Roger Corman tried his best to adapt the Poe stories while also being original and paying tribute to Poe. They're gothic movies dripping with atmosphere. If I had to suggest any of them, I would recommend either the 1960 movie House of Usher or the 1964 movie The Masque of the Red Death, if that's OKay? Those are the two best of the Edgar Allan Poe series. It'd be another reason to react to them. I think it'd make for a fun reaction 🙂

Had to do some research... "Tony Stark's New Element (Symbol: NE), unofficially known as Badassium, was researched and theorized by Howard Stark, and later synthesized by Tony Stark. It was theorized as a replacement for the palladium core in Tony's Arc Reactor, which had been poisoning him."

“That kid was Peter Parker” is a fan theory that the MCU production team decided to not deny, and later run with in some of the publicity stuff produced, but I don’t think it’s ever been confirmed in any of the actual films.

This early MCU stuff is so much better than the later movies, because their is time for the characters to breathe, the later movies became so cluttered with characters that they became just conflict after conflict with not enough time to develop character... after about the time of Civil War I think things took a turn for the worst... The early movies especially this one is a great examples of world building... And the loss of Garry Shandling was tragic, his character was an interesting side character going on into Captain America...

40:22 Notice that the newsreel that on Tony's display at this moment is the same newsreel from "The Incredible Hulk"? Showing where this fits in the timeline.

I never noticed it when I first saw the movie, but someone pointed out that the Hammer Industries' "ex wife" was stated to be a kinetic kill weapon, and so there was almost no way that it would work at that distance, because it did not have enough time to accelerate to a high enough speed to be effective...

The villain from this film, Ivan Vankoff, is an MCU combination of 2 Iron Man villains from the comics--Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo, the latter a Soviet response to Iron Man.

One reason mcu films are always exciting is because they always build up all the characters in the movies. And there are often multiple heroes in a movie that is titled by just one hero. So as the main character you expect iron man to survive, but who knows about black widow and rhodey and pepper (obvs they survived but who knows at the time)

17:55 how did you get arc reactor from that? 😅 they literally said bird the one Ivan was drinking with in the beginning.. and he doesn't need Tony's mind to create his own arc reactor as we saw in the beginning 😬 great reaction though! 👍👍

5:01 Tony Stark makes me like this song way more than I already did.🤘 13:06 At this point I think it's 50-50, Acting Out - Bucket-Listing. 19:11 Now this is just Acting Out...but still hilarious (mostly). 21:09 "Phrasing!" I know this wasn't meant to sound dirty, but it really, really, did.🤣 24:45 I love Clark Gregg...he is us (just a way cooler version). 27:20 Douche-Canoe Cameo number two. 🤮 37:03 🤣🤣🤣 Well played, Shannelle. 🥃 39:13 I love this movie, but Pepper walking toward a blinking red light with an increasingly shrill and rapid beeping is not good writing. 39:43 "Chances Are"....that Robert Downey Jr. and Vonda Shepard will sing about this moment...

Great reaction and commentary as always. ❤

It's like Tony Stark playing RDJ playing Tony Stark lol

40:30 - *GASP!* How dare you! 😂

The theory is he doesn't like to he handed stuff because in the first film, the last thing he was handed were the pictures showing his company was double dealing weapons to bad guys and that Obadiah was the one who was behind everything.

30:27 - I had my first full-on nerdgasm when I realized what Tony was doing here. He's SYNTHESIZING VIBRANIUM in his GARAGE!!

Glad you liked this one! Iron Man 3 doesn't get talked about so much but I think it's super underappreciated ^_^

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it

25:14 - Yeah, I see it. Subtle, but noticeable.

Hi Shanelle hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Fun fact, retroactively, the kid in the Iron Man mask at Stark Expo was Peter Parker.

Have you seen the Movie "Chef?" John Favreau little drama. A couple of MARVELous cameos.

"It doesn't fall into the trap of a droning act 3" ::watches drones in act 3::

20:42 - Yeah, I get what you mean. Little variety here and there adds a little spice to it.

I already love that you're stoked about watching this. Let's goooo..

I think the final boss battle... since was in the Oracle sphere... Larry Ellison (Oracle CEO) was big fan of Japanese garden type spaces... just a guess...

I personally love this movie, as it features my first hometown, Flushing, NY.

Just found your channel, you are awesome 😎

Next up should be the short film, "A funny thing happened on the way to Thor's Hammer"

The is a arc in the comics called "Demon in a Bottle" which address Tony's alcoholism.

I just now got that the bad guy gets his passport that says Boris; cuts to Natasha walking in. Where is Moose & Squirrel?

Watching the "Thor" franchise and the "Avengers" franchise might change your mind about villains. Just saying. Enjoy this awesome ride! It just gets better and better!

ScarJo's character, Agent Natasha Romanoff, wasn't becoming the Black Widow, she already was since "Black Widow" was the name of a type of female spy created by the KGB. Romanoff had already defected to SHIELD and was undercover at Stark Industries as "Natalie Rushman from Legal." In the comics, she was still a KGB agent when she first tried industrial espionage and sabatauge at Stark Industries. Her flirting with Stark is part of her spycraft--to use her sexuality as a weapon to gain information, leverage, etc.

I liked this one out of all the Ironman movies the best. All because of Justin Hammer. Sam Rockwell is so awesome.
