This movie is still one of my favorite MCU films. It's also nice to look back on how this crazy and awesome Cinematic Universe kicked off.

@DeepDiveNR it's thanks to the success and Brilliance of this film that we managed to explore even more incredible stories in the Marvel Universe. It's crazy to think that the Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn't have been a Trilogy that existed without the success of Iron Man.

Man this gave me nightmares after watching because I was already traumatized by 9/11 as a child. I wasn’t able to appreciate it until I was a teen.

When I 1st watched this movie, I really didn't like it. However, I've rewatched it numerous times and the more I watch it, the more I love it.

Proof?

This is a gem. I actually loved the start of the MCU. What makes this iconic is the pure storytelling that was a tapestry that was carefully weaved together to become Avengers Endgame. Nowadays, it’s quantity over quality for me with the MCU, and no focus on the tapestry but rather a spiderweb where they’re hoping everything just sticks

You're really cranking out the goods lately Erik, thanks for all your hard work!

Iron Man is special to me because I took my two sons, 12 and 10 at the time, to see it in 2008, and we have seen every Marvel movie together since. Today, my oldest packed up a truck and moved to Denver. Not sure how that impacts our tradition. But what a great ride we've had!

What makes this movie stand out to me is how it’s either extremely noisy or pin-drop quiet with no real in between (in terms of both its sound design and soundtrack). I feel like this first film really captures who tony was; a loud flashy genius with an introspective side that could drown out the rest of the “noise” about life. I love how those choices make the movie feel a little ASMR in that way ❤

The biggest blooper is still that Pepper removes the electro magnet that's keeping Tony alive. The arc reactor, fair enough that's just a power source, but the electromagnet gets removed and never replaced, so the new arc reactor is powering nothing and those metal fragments are heading towards his heart. some people say there is an electromagnet built into the new arc reactor, in which case why does the cable need to be plugged in. But if this was the case then later after obidiah takes his new reactor, Tony uses his old one that woulsnt have the built in electromagnet.

No, the biggest blooper is a hole that deep in his chest would be directly fatal due to the actual HOLE IN THE CHEST , lol, and also because even if it hadnt deflated one lung and severed the oesophagus (thus breathing is impossible) his ribs will no longer be able to move or move enough to breath in the first place. The magnet is the least of the issues.

I love how Tony continued to revamp his tech every time he found a flaw, forever working to be better and stronger. He was dedicated to being the best hero he could be from beginning to end.❤

Your explanation about the sound used to tell the story was really amazing. I have a new perspective and love for the movie now.

Your last line of this video really nailed it. Heart. That's what the MCU (and really all of the Disney-acquired properties) is missing more than anything right now.

Iron Man is the best MCU movie period. I recall taking my son to the theater to see it. It was definitely awesome on the big screen. As a teenager I loved the Iron Man comics because he is just a man, no actual super powers beyond his armor, gadgets and intelligence. Marvel's counter to Batman. BTW, love Batman too.

I think that one of my favorite things about the Iron Man armor is the Heads Up Display. Just the fact that there’s SO MUCH STUFF in it show how smart Tony is to be able to understand all of it. We see RDJ’s head in that black void a lot throughout the MCU, and while I can’t remember every person who has had that black void, the shot shown here: 25:40 just looks way too zoomed out. I’m not saying it looks bad, but seeing the contrast of the first HUD shot to one of the most recent is a little jarring.

So this proves that Robert Downey Jr. should deserve his Oscar nomination for Oppenheimer & see him beyond than Man with an Iron heart

he did get an oscar for his absolutely insanely brilliant performance in tropic thunder for the same year the first iron man was released, what an actor! look forward to what new stuff he will do, and yeah he did really great in oppenheimer as well

Iron Man/Tony Stark will forever be my favorite MCU character. He is the heart of the MCU which is why now it seems to be floundering without him. RDJ didn’t have to go that hard but he did and I’m so grateful. Love this analysis and breakdown!

Why you fail, this is.

Tony's line about fear vs. respect also mirrors Caligula's (not the most quotable guy) line: "Let them hate me so long as they fear me".

Unfortunate you had to reupload this it's such a banger💪

28:56 the sound and that scene with the superhero landing are still to this day some of the best bits of the MCU! To the point that when he lands in the vibranium facility in AoU I was like ooo there it is 👌🏽 chef’s kiss

This deep dive was amazing. Not only did you take a titular movie from the past (has it really been 15 years?, damn), but you also pointed out underlying themes and crossovers that I had previously not noticed...MAKING AN AMAZING MOVIE, EVEN MORE ENTERTAINING. Wish I could go larger with the caps to show my appreciation for the amount of information and just plain cool elements that you were able to hilight. Thank you so much for putting this together. Think I'll be watching RDJ in Ironman, again, this weekend.

The first Iron Man will always be one of the best marvel movies ever made. Such a fun and iconic movie. I watched it over and over as a kid and more than holds up today.

The deep dive on this one is as good as the movie, so very rewatchable ! 😂

RDJ has got to be one of the best feel good hollywood moments. The thing I like most about cinema ironman is just RDJs portrayal. There will never be another ironman who was both figure and actor in tune.

I think the secret was what Jeff Bridges said - it had the soul of a student film. The creators hammering out the day's shoot in the trailer on the day. Solving problems and generating the themes and plot on the fly. The MCU now feels like it is run by committee. Plays it safe, even when it tries to push the envelope. That's because there is no feeling of risk. Even something like Moon Knight was planned to go for that aesthetic - didn't grow organically. Of course taking these risks means you will likely have some real bombs in there. And I know people are investing serious money into these IP. But that is the blueprint. To throw the blue print away. Get someone with a vision and some talent, let them struggle a bit, and see what comes out of it.

You’re doing such a great job with these. They just keep getting better. Thank you, and keep them coming!

It's incredible the movie from the guy who made Elf sparked a 30+ movie franchise... 🤯

Love your Deep Dive Señor Voss 🥳 To me, this movie has that magic that sparked it all and not all MCU titles have. The sound, visual and artistic elements hold up the test of time. It’s something I feel I’d show my kids some day as a classic film through this era I happen to see evolve. When I question the reason I love the genre, Iron Man and The Dark Night are definitely my favorite films to rewatch.

I love his movie, and honestly love the sequels. What they did with Iron Man blew my mind. And it was GLORIOUS to see RDJ rise to take this character on and make him amazing.

Wow, i never noticed that Obidiah was playing Salieri on the piano. Good catch, Erik!! 🎼

I've always loved the theme music for this movie. Ramin Djawadi (who did GoT) with Tom Morello on guitar - amazing. It's still my favourite MCU theme, even though I prefer Cap and Spider-Man as heroes.

Robert would be on my top ten list of people to meet I think. I've had struggles and he got through them in style. He's probably a pretty chill dude

Reposting the video. Thought we wont notice, but we did!

what made iron man iconic for me is the suit. i’m obsessed with the suit up scenes and i’ll be mad if we don’t get at least 2 suit up scenes in “Armor Wars”

Great video as always! Thank you for continuing to make amazing content!

Such an amazing Deep Dive!!! You just connected every single dot (and ping)! Now I gotta go do a rewatch!!

THANKS for this, Erik Voss!!!

Well done!!, I love this!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Amazing deep dive, great work!!!

Didn't u upload this yesterday?

This is a great MCU Movie to watch! Great Breakdown Erik! 👍

Dude! You totally major league rock with your deep dives!!! Each movie is enriched by them ! ❤

my favorite deep dive so far!!

Absolutely brilliant!! Superb critique. Bravo!!*❤

Phenomenal breakdown!! Thank you New Rockstars and Eric Voss

That was a great video Eric truly from the heart

Vossman!!! You are amazing. I love the Deep Dive. I’m a diehard Ironman fan from comics, collectibles, and even the arc reactor on my chest. But I grew up with RDJ and his movies and I watched his downfall. I was beyond excited a to see him play one of my favorite comic book characters. I will watch it again tonight after seeing this deep dive. It was amazing. Much love.

As always, you and your team are amazing!

Great vid w thorough analysis as usual! If may respectfully add on, the music vid of GFK is "Celebrate" but for some reason the song playing is "Slept on Toney" 👐🏽 PEACE

Another great video Erik.

What an amazing episode. Erik Voss could geek out for hours and I’d watch every second of it

Great video man!! Like the summer blockbuster’s u should do one in may and call it “may marvels” and do a deep dive into the big marvel releases in may each week of the month

Regardless that’s it’s a reupload, I’m watching and liking it again ❤

Could add that Tony's initial tests and crash landings of the MK II echo The Greatest American Hero

REUPLOAD YES

Wow! Very well done!

Eric, you're the best. Keep 'em coming.

This is such an amazing video

Love this channel!

Really good video!

Loved this!

This is Deep Dive redefined. EXCELLENT presentation 👏

Why the repost?

A re-uploade with 10 different things?? Ah yeahhhh, love watching your breakdowns. ❤from🇵🇰

Love love love these videos

I love all you deep dives! I recently researched gladiator and would love to see your input on it.

Already watched this yesterday…just gave me a reason to watch again

Well done. Honestly wow. Hope the right people see this and take note.

This is a banger of a video and even has a lot of heart itself.

This deep dive was absolutely amazing Mr Voss wow.....Will we be getting the rest of the mcu 😊🎉

You nailed it with the Ping and Sound design. Looking back I recall enjoying this in theatre because of the sound. As the mark one walks out, it sounds low-tech, heavy, a walking tank that we saw Tony put together practically; with inner workings to control and lift the weight.

Love this! This movie is so sentimental for me, I love it so much

22:19 Detail here : Aircraft flight control surfaces concept was inserted in the armor design. To scientifically explain how he can "steer" the flight.

34:54 your framing of this moment really brought a tear to my eye to think as such. also, another tear for where we are after this milestone.

What he film started is amazing looking back on the film now! It was revolutionary and at the perfect time!

I always thought of Tony and Steve being Step brothers because Howard is technically the father of both of them.

Great video I have watched this movie so many times But you still took me to school Aces mate

RDJ's performance is what makes it iconic for me as well as Favreau's smart direction, brimming with laughs.

I always LOVED the effects one Tony when the shrapnel wounds start to bleed I really miss the MCU that used a lot of practical effects

I think what makes Iron Man so great is: he's human - he's relatable. He has flaws, he has no superpowers. Granted most of us aren't crazy wealthy and brilliant like Stark, but I see the same thing with Batman.

I knew nothing of superheroes or comics until I watched this when I was a kid. It's one of my favorite movies ever, and it sent me down a never-ending but amazing road. Iron man will always be my favorite, and RDJ is the MCU. This was an amazing breakdown. I've watched this movie a hundred times, and there's still a dozen new things I learned about it. Well done 👏

I was in the middle of watching this when it stopped suddenly. Now I know why

Nice piece,

Good job Erick

*And wow, this guy really didn't left any stones unturned for he uncovered and showcased each and every details there could possibly be for this movie right here hehe.. He did a really great job at delivering appropriateness here, at times even overdid it, with including details that were very much in depth and kinda unnecessary to go at such lengths.. Well for some they might actually find it interesting to know but in general it was not that needed to indulge into stuffs that profound, deviating our interest from the main interesting and much needed stuffs.. Like i mean all the little extra details were pretty much far fetched, wasn't that necessary for him to include in this video, which for many it would be of no interest for their knowledge.. But all in all, he did a marvelous job here which I'm actually really amazed and impressed that he put in all of his time, energy and efforts, really did tons of hard works into researching all of these details to their cores hehe.. Totally wrapping everything there was to be known, even some added informations, to absolutely cover the entirety of this movie in whole..* 👏👏

So glad we have this movie, because everything that follows is amazing, The Avengers being iconic in bringing all these heroes together

Setting that tone in I.M.1 REALLY just raised the bar for superhero films in general and I too love RDJ in that role. This initial journey really does mirror RDJ's life up to that point sand i love that they call this fact out in I.M.2.

this actually had me crying toward the end. wtg, erik ;')

I do enjoy Iron Man 1 quite a bit. The box of scraps line is probably the most iconic line for me.

Great vid, Erik. Although I'd heard of Iron Man, I didn't know much about Tony Stark. The film just cemented what Stan had created in extreme high definition. He instantly became my favourite character, and that hasn't changed to this day. Tony has such an amazing arc, especially by the time we get to IM3. That film gets quite a bit of hate, but I think it's immense due to the human qualities and conditions explored. Maybe it's due to being bipolar, but the connection of having to almost start again mentally I felt was portrayed beautifully. As was the realisation that he might be physically fine, but that he was mentally broken due to the effects of his PTSD. Amazing script, direction and performance. Great mirroring of his issues and failures with his Mark 42 armour. Technically superior to anything else, but fails to deliver and he's not quite sure why. The MCU just hasn't been the same without him.

Reupload?

ok this with the energy throught the cables is very cool

What’s next on the slate love the channel Erik

Wow, I’m blown away

When Ironman was released, it took me so long to finally decide to go see it. Never did I realize that this movie will start a Studio that run Hollywood

Nice vid

I always thought Ralphie was a Favreau collaborator from Elf

Do in depth for Tropic Thunder, Watchmen, and maybe Austin Powers as well

Hey Voss... Love the channels. I'm watching marvel timeline again and realized 😡(mad I just noticed)in Captain America, red skulls plan was still carried out in winter soldier with the helacarriers

I was so happy when they came out with this movie. I read Iron Man comics as a kid back in the day. So this movie really was a must see for me and having a young preteen son to see it with made it even better.

Honesty? every time I rewatch this, im blown away with the special effects and how im SO INTO IT. every freaking time!

Berilliant deep dive. The whole 9th symphony thing was mind blowing
