I actually enjoyed this series from beginning to end! I understood why this series had to end but it had a good run and ended on its own terms.

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this show. At first I thought it was just gonna be Spider-Man but Iron Man, but it really took advantage of the hero and his rogues gallery, and did a lot with the Iron Man mythos. Definitely one of the most underrated super hero shows.

Both series having only 2 seasons was a CRIME.

This show, in my opinion, had BY FAR the best versions of The Mandarin and Living Lazer. The former was basically a parallel to Tony. They both lost a parent, had their birthrights basically stolen and misused by someone who should have been their legal guardian and they both have a secret life that they struggle to balance with their normal one. And the latter is just a plain *tragic* villain who feels like he never even got the chance to be a good person, but every time he appears they peel back the layers of his character and make you sympathise with him more.

Yea I agree, this will always be my favorite iteration of the mandarin.

This show also gave the Living Laser one of the best arcs, I friggin loved it. At first he seemed like a one-off villain that died at the end of his episode. But then he comes back to life, and we see how tormented he is mentally from all the abuse he suffered through life and how he wants to be someone important, deciding that would he would be "The guy that killed Iron Man." But then he's captured by SHIELD and seems to be dying, so they call in Tony to help save him. And Living Laser is confused by this, how kind Tony is to him for seemingly no reason. But then he's kidnapped by AIM to help power their MODOK, which was able to read minds. And he reveals that Iron Man's true identity was Tony Stark, and at this, Living Laser sacrifices himself to stop MODOK and save him. With his last line of the episode, as he lay dying once again, being "Look at me now... I'm the guy that saved Iron Man..."

No matter how many years pass between watching this show, I can never get that theme song out of my head! "HE'S IIIIIIIIIROOOOON MAAAAAAAN!"

One of my favorite armors in this show was the Iron Man 2099 armor. Also I wouldn’t mind if this version of Tony ever returned in the future. Like the idea of a much younger version of Tony becoming Iron man earlier sounds interesting. I can imagine the journey this version of Tony would have gone through had the show continued. I imagine it would have continued through Tony’s adult years even showing his eventual alcoholism and even the Avengers. As for how I imagine the show would eventually end well let’s be real it could be anything from a adaption of Iron Man : The End to something original

I used to watch this show all the time when I was little! Glad someone has finally talked about this!

My favorite episode was the time-travel plot, where Andros Stark realizes that BECAUSE he went into the past, he ensured that the future existed. Thus, he decided to effectively kill himself, closing the loop and forcing Tony to realize the weight of the weapons he creates. The Extremis Hacking sequence was also hilarious. Andros Stark was about 16 versions AHEAD of Tony and chooses to shut off his suit. I also respected Justin Hammer because he learned he'd become The President of The United States. He wanted to keep it that way.

I definitely remember watching this when I was around 8, I think this along with the Fantastic Four cartoon expanded my knowledge on the greater Marvel Universe, like yeah spiderman 2 was the first movie I ever watched in theaters, looking back on this, x men evolution and Batman beyond I very much prefer these more unique/original takes, that not saying stuff like spectacular spiderman or BTAS are inferior I'm just saying I would like to see more superhero cartoons like this.

This show did so much for Iron Man’s villains yet no other adaptation including the MCU picked up on any of it. The modernization of Mandarin was PERFECT and it made sense for Iron Man’s Archnemesis to be a guy in Magical space armor but yet it hasn’t been used since

I remember it was my first real take on Iron Man, since I did not watch the MCU movie back then. It blew my mind a lot, and I enjoyed it as much as I could.

The opening for this show ranks up there with what’s new Scooby doo and spectacular Spider-Man as openings that had NO business going as hard as they did

If anyone hasn't seen the show just listen to the intro music once and you'll see why this is an underrated gem.

Best theme song of all time and I love how they gave most of Ironmans unknown villain catalogues screen times and proper introduction. Preferred the brotherly dynamic between Rhodey and Tony here than in the MCU

He's Iron Man, Iron Man... The heart of his power was within him... No force... will make ...him give in When he's backed into the corner of uncertainty... He takes the heat to the next degree... He's more than a hero believe what you see... He's Iron Man... Iron Man...! He's Iron Man, Iron Man, Iron Man!!!!! Boop Beep!"

Bro this was my favorite childhood show I miss it so much I hope it gets a revival where Tony's in his early 20s and it's really underrated timeless and goated it was my introduction to superheros thanks to my dad for introducing me to the series and other superheroes like Spider-Man (despite Spider-Man being number 2 ironman is number 1 in my opinion)

OMG this was one of my favorite superhero shows growing up! I was obsessed with all the different Iron Man suits as well as the various Makluan Rings. Seriously, I was giddy whenever they were used on screen! I didn't really mind the aging down of the characters, heck if anything it helped me relate to them more. And that theme song OMG, I was always filled with enthusiasm whenever it played!! So yeah, this is a nostalgic gem for me!

The only serie I remember people telling tony to relax and have fun because in the movies they were asking for him to be mature

I remember coming home from middle school waiting for the new episode. At the time I remember mostly being considered childish for liking an animated series. Entertainment for me became personal enjoyment rather than talking to other about favorite shows.

Dude, I LOVED this show as a kid

I loved this show when I was a kid, the opening theme song still lives in my head rent-free.

This show has some of the definitive iterations of some of the villains in my opinion. Specifically the sadistic whiplash and nearly untouchable Ghost.

This show has a lot to do with me becoming a marvel fan in the first place; when I was younger, outside of reruns of Adam West's Batman I wasn't really into DC and Marvel, my superhero intake was CN's Ben 10 and Nick's Danny Phantom. Then one night I was too lazy to change the channel and ended up watching the 2008 Iron Man film, which I instantly fell in love with. Some time after that I stumbled on a listing for Armopred Adventures on my TV guide and set it to record (if memory serves, the episode with the sentient armour) and fell in love with that as well, and then, because of it airing as part of a block on Disney XD, I ended up seeing the last few minuites of Avengers EMH (the first episode with Red Hulk) and was curious to check out more, from there everything just clicked.

This show is the best i actually just started rewatching this show a few days ago and saw your video today. Crazy coincidence 😅

This was my first marvel show ever, watched it over and over, holds a special place in my heart, especially the theme

My favorite part of this show is the Mentions of Other Heros and Cameos too but my favorite Mention is the Fantastic Four

I loved this show as a kid. One of my favorite memories of my childhood was sitting down with my older brother after school to watch it with him. I still know the theme song by heart, and it really means the world to see it getting some of the love and recognItion that it absolutely deserves. seriously, it was awesome to see this.

I find it criminal that you would talk about my childhood and not mention the absolute banger of an intro that would launch me downstairs singing

Man, I remember this show. I was like 5 seeing the 2008 movie and 6 when the show first started. I never saw too much of it, similar to the Speed Racer show from around that time as well. But I'm hoping to actually sit down and watch this Iron Man show and see what I was missing from back in the day

I loved this show so much. I frequently bring this back up as a topic to friends, showing em clips and all. I miss it.

Yes! The show was amazing and the theme song still rocks!!

Caught the whole thing just a couple months after the final episode and throughly enjoyed close to 90% of the series. The shift to writing teenage characters experiencing multiple drastic life changing events was mostly interesting and optimistic. The focus on the characters, struggles and fictional bleeding edge tech were woven together into entertaining stories that kept my geeky attention affixed throughout the series. I’m glad it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.

It was a dope 2 seasons. Great theme. The story of Mandarin was an adventure of its own. It wrapped up very nicely, and really did not need a 3rd season. My only gripe was how clean the streets were because of the 3D style. No trashcans. No trash.

I loved this show when it came out. A few years back I did a rewatch and it’s still great. I would love to see other marvel characters get a show like this. Centered around 1 hero but set within the universe with the occasional cameos from other heroes

Love the show, I have many memories centered around it even had some of the toys. It was a great way to introduce such a complex character to a younger audience.

I remember binging this show when I was younger. I think it was on Netflix at one point. I still have it's opening theme stuck in my head lol! I remember loving it.

What’s crazy is I loved this show as a kid but I never finished it bc it wasn’t fully out yet and now I’m inspired

I love this so much as kid and still rewatch it regularly. This show is like a keystone for who i am.

I've re-watched this multiple times on Disney+ for nostalgia and still love it, especially since now that I'm in my 20s and a larger comic fan I catch more references every time I watch this show

I definitely loved watching this as a kid I’m definitely gonna rewatch it again one day
