If you watch this after Endgame, then you know how sad it is that the younger fans won't be able to feel what its like to go from Ironman and ten years later to Endgame. And it was worth it
Well said.
BlackWave54 honestly it was such an amazing emotional journey
I was a kid when Iron Man released, I'm in college now, the journey was so good. I remember how I've rewatched the MCU when Endgame was announced, it felt so nostalgic watching the Phase 1 movies
I watched the original Iron man, but I was like 7 or something so I barely remember.
I was only 4 when Iron Man first came out, and only started watching the MCU (pretty much religiously) in 2018, but I remember seeing a couple of the films over the years. Now I'm a huge Marvel fan and am so disappointed I didn't start watching the MCU earlier
2006 Jon Favreau: "But the idea of using CGI and relying solely on that to tell your story, those days are past."
2019 Jon Favreau: The Lion King
The hardest choices require the strongest wills
Welp, Favreau is also using practical effects for The Mandalorian, so, he still stands by that quote
What was he supposed to do? Train a bunch of animals to do things they can never be trained to do?
Was he supposed to find real lions, giraffes, elephants and teach them how to talk and behave?
*That's how mafia works*
The myth that RDJ just plays himself in these films is totally wrong. He put so much work into his role is unreal and is loved for that reason.
Edit: I know the mannerisms and acts are similar. I was simply praising RDJ’s acting and dedication
LeeHamill 04 I see why he thinks he plays himself because irl he has the same amount of wittyness and charm. Many ppl seem to think roberts career was in the dumps because of his acting but he had messed up in the public eye dealing with addiction. Ppl didnt want to deal with the drama. Robert actually saved marvel being it first amazing film in a while which he had plenty of on set descions.
I also love that he’s always in the marketing; like the fun song mashups that Jimmy Fallon does or tries to be in interviews. Some other actors won’t do it but I notice that he’s there every time a film with him in it comes out. It shows how much he cares about the character and is willing to promote even though he’s a household name. That kind of humbleness and remembering where he came from is awesome.
He does both.
He is reprising his role of Derek Lutz from 1986 "Back to School". His mannerisms and speaking are exactly the same.
LeeHamill 04 it’s totally right
Tony Stark was able to build this franchise in a cave! With a box of scraps!
I'm sorry, but I'm not Tony Stark.
And that person was so offended that he starts to help Misterio.
You Know when you complete the sentence you are addicted to MCU
Iron Man in a nutshell is reverse Godfather (Bad to Good, Good to Bad)
I understood that reference!!!
Wait wait that Iconic line was IMPROVISED?! HOW?! Damn, props to Robert Downey, I didn't know that
My thought exactly. Like, what was the alternative?? (honestly, I want to know. "That was me?" doesn't sound like it'd make it past the first draft.)
@@Rocksteady72a
I heard that he was supposed to actually read the scripted answer.
@@zingzaber6989 So the movie originally ended with holding the secret identity thing?
@@Rocksteady72a That is correct
@@Rocksteady72a
Yup
_"That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes!"_
_"Yeah. Or something big for 15 minutes."_
The movie smartly sets up the big battle countdown timer in the very first act. Brilliant.
I'm a little sad you guys didn't do the whole "one marvelous scene" thing.
When he said "there was an idea.." I was expecting it :D
They must not have got an invitation :(
@@AlexandeRSciswoR Ooooorrrr, maybe they didn't want to milk it
I know!
They could have covered Yinsen’s death.
Arguably the emotional foundation stone of the MCU (and the first time they made me tear-up ...oh boy, not again!)
@@emilymcplugger Yinsen? Do you mean Yondu?
I'm in Australia, so I literally just watched Endgame - No spoilers cause I'm not a dickhead
It is insanely good, a perfect ending to the last 11 years of the MCU
Thats all that I'm going to say.
Just watched it too. Can't remember which interview was it but one of the russo bros described the movie in a single word, cathartic, and damn right it is. There are some questionable moments but overall, a very solid 10/10.
@@Elfaia yeah, that is a perfect word for the movie. Saw it with a bunch of friends tonight, hopefully i can covince my family to see it tomorrow
I have a question- how well handled was Captain Marvel?
@@TommyTonk yeah i felt the same way, I did see captain marvel. didn't really enjoy it. But from her few minutes in endgame, I found her to be kinda more likeable. I still think she is a bs character, but not much i can do about that
Berryman Edwards I hope the writers and directors take their cues from how she was characterized in Endgame going forward.
i think a number of people have forgotten how significant jon favreau was in birthing the mcu.
Thank you Jon.
Loved it, you really do churn out the best butter, boys.
It's crazy how Favreau created this whole universe and still hangs out as Happy, Iron Man's assistant/friend/B-Character in the Spider-Man movies.
I think iron man is a great film,and I’d go as far as to say it’s one of the best in the MCU. It’s a shame that people just see it for its legacy
Because Tony has such a satisfying character arch. He goes from a prick who faces no responsibilities,can do whatever he wants and won’t even talk to women unless they’re hot,to the iron man we all know and love.
And there’s so many great character moments,like when he’s on his own building a car engine (probably because that’s what he built with his father) listening to emo music,and just kind of looking depressed. You get the sense that that’s the real him and that he parties hard and sleeps with women to make up for his loneliness. It’s like the scientist said (sorry I can’t remember his name) “you’re a man who has everything and nothing”.
I could go on and on and on but I’ll leave it there since I doubt anyone’s going to read this
I have to agree.Its still rock solid,well done entertainment with a great script and cast. The machine is better and the directors are even better but Iron Man still holds up and is a classic.You're not alone; I even like the third act a good bit.9.5/10
That quote was said by Ho Yinsen
Can we just congratulate Jon Favearu for the genius move of casting himself as a side character that came to be a much more important in the future.
Oh my god. I never realized that taking out the trash comment was a roast before.
LOL you must not spent much time around female coworkers then! xDD
Really?! Hahahaha man this line is absolute gold
Me and my GF watched Iron Man and she got a little bit confused with the line until I laughed.
same kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Me neither. I thought it was literal.
Lol. That John Favreau cgi quote is so funny in retrospect
I mean
The dude really was like that back then
He literally built a fucking robot for that jumanji in space movie
the gooldash zathura where dax Shepard was a spaceman and Kristen Stewart played a statue ,cause she was frozen not her acting
"next time baby"
*curb your enthusiasm theme starts playing*
Annnndddd... there was no next time for Howard lol.
Directed by Robert b weide
I remember seeing Iron Man in theaters back in 08 which was the same year as the Dark Knight. I enjoyed both but I saw more growth in the Dark Knight in terms of DC and never conceived the notion that comic book superheroes would dominate like they are now. In fact, the thought of an Avengers film in just four years was just inconceivable. We have come a long way. You took expectations and threw them out the window. If there is one truth in all of this, none of this would be possible without the fans. Yes, they buy the tickets but they also make these movies. Passion for one's art and this is art is embracing what you love and let the creativeness come out. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is made up of people just like you and me that love this as much as we do. Marvel is run with a passion that morphed into a business. Star Wars is run like a business first, not a passion and now they're struggling.
Back when this movie came out the idea of a shared universe was unheard and no one, not even I thought it would give us a gigantic universe. I thought it would give us a series of sequels at best.
However, when I learned of the post-credits scene with Nick Fury mentioning the Avenger initiative, I knew a shared universe was being planned.
I was six years old when Iron Man came out, it is so crazy how the movies grew up with me, they aged as I was.
Yeah but honestly EVERY OTHER did and still does tease out a bigger story to be told in sequels. Almost nobody expected them to follow through with this. I got super hyped when I saw RDJ at the end of the Incredible Hulk, but at most I expected maybe a team up or ONE Avengers movie
Not even Speedwagon could have predicted the MCU.
I was ten when Iron Man dropped and was a huge fan of the marvel universe, i knew someday we'd get spidey in the mcu but i never would have thought he'd be mentored by Tony Stark.
I was in the Hall when him and Feige announced the MCU, at SDCC. We were all ridiculously excited. Imagine being the first people to know and then 11 years later, be that satisfied.
This is my favourite MCU movie
Such a classic
I remember watching an interview with Jon Favreau and he was excited that Iron Man was being compared to The Dark Knight bc it came out around the same time. He even said he just wanted to try his best to make a good movie. Then after the movie came, Marvel immediately decided to make it into a trilogy. Even RDJ says in Tropic Thunder bts that it was going to be a trilogy
There's a ton of channels out there covering the MCU to no end.. but this video just hit it out of the park.
Great summary of what made this a success and kickstarted the whole thing!
Favreau + RDJ + Feige created an absolute monster in 2008 and nobody suspected a thing.
10/10 Vid for making arguments that are umm... *_"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be..."_*
I really like JARVIS being an AI and not a butler because there are several moments during Tony's development of the armour where you sense how much emotional turmoil he's going through-- is this the right thing to do? Can he do this? This is insane, surely, and he's still struggling with the crisis of self he suffered in the cave. And all he has to talk to during all of this are his robots. Personalities he made for his machines so that he could converse with them. Even the fire-extinguisher robot has a cute AI. You get a sense of just how alone Tony is and feels during all of this. The banter is cute but also sorta sad. And then you think back to Yinsen and his comment about how Tony is a man with everything and nothing...
“Next time baby” 😂
This channel is very underrated and I hope it gets more traction
"I am inevitable."
"And I... Am. Iron. Man!"
Hmm i know what this is from ive seen that movie
I was looking for that
He was there at the beginning, and now, he gets to see how it end.
What movie is this from?
Oh.......
:(
Please do an analysis of Black Widow, her incredible journey through the MCU and what we might expect from her upcoming solo.
14:25 that’s why I was pissed that Captain Marvel saved him. I really wanted to see Tony use his genius to get out of that situation one last time
Honestly I don't think Coulson was overused. He was a connecting piece.
i fucking love coulson,he is one of my favourites mcu characters
He's only in 5 movies.
@@tevcon317 he is also the protagonist of the agents of shield series,thats why is one of my favourites overall
ALPHA GAMER I know that, but hes just a small character in the movies
@@tevcon317 i know,but the mcu isnt just the movies,overall he is one of most important characters in the mcu,he is the main reason why wanda,cap,natasha,hawkeye and millions of people didnt die in sokovia,also he was the one that sended the avengers to that hydra base in the beggining of aou
The score is by Ramin Djawdi, yes, that Ramin Djwadi, Game of Thrones Ramin Djwadi, so yeah, it's pretty kickass. It's his first movie score, and really his second major work after the TV series Prison Break.
I literally just finished re-watching Iron Man!
I am Iron Man
-Tony Stark
too soon?
"I am inevitable"
When it comes to directors, Jon Favreau is the godfather of the MCU.
I love your channel times 3000
Bruh... Don't be doing that to me.
What’d he do?
Give me the feels 😭
Do you want some cheese burger?
😭
1:03 “It all got kick of by a man in a can.” Best one sentence summary of a movie ever.
Favreau and Feige changed the cinematic reality...
praise be
Really just Feige. Favreau made a great Iron Man movie. Feige made a great cinematic universe.
No reality stone needed here.
I seriously cannot wait for your Kevin Feige video... I feel like he is the genius mastermind behind the MCU and it feels like it really is his baby. I'm excited to see what he can do with the newly acquired Fox properties like X-men and Fantastic Four.
Watched Endgame like 12 hours ago, it is freaking awesome.
Spoilers.

Agreed.
For me it's not in cinemas till Saturday 27th
@@bobsemple9281 Officially the same here. No idea why they had a prerelease, but Hella nice they did 😂 (Germany 🤷♂️)
The ending though....😭😭😭😭
That feeling of hearing back in black in the begining of iron man never fails to amuse me
You never fail to impress, my man! These are such high quality, well thought-out and superbly written and narrated videos that it's easy to follow along and a joy to watch. I have seen a handful of Full Fat Video's over the last several months and I've never been disappointed. Well done and keep 'em coming! Nicely done guys!
*Spoiler alert*
Iron Man is Tony Stark
WTF man, not cool!
Broooo come on! How could you spoil this!☹️
all your fault's for clicking read more.
What’s next? Peter Parker being Spider-Man?
I see what you did there...
Great video! It's amazing to see how far these movies have come and to look back to where it all started.
You should definitely do one marvelous scene. I just watched the original one, and at the end, Nando says that if someone has an idea for their favorite scene, they should go ahead and make it and tweet it to him so he can put it on the playlist. I really think you understand this universe better than most people, and would have a great take on what scene really stands out as marvelous to you.
Definitely my favorite marvel movie. Downey Jr. knocked it out of the park, and I can’t possibly picture IM as anybody else.
YESSS "Driving With The Top Down" IS AMAAAZINGGGG
You really have to do a Kevin Feige Video. It would be a great end for the Infinity Saga after watching End Game tomorrow!!
Have fun!
And bring some tissues.
God I love Tony's character development over the years, best in the MCU imo.
Ggvxxf
I’m seeing endgame tonight at the midnight release. My hype is unreal
Edit: I’m back and it’s really good
Squantle bring a lot of napkin with yourself
Squantle I'm so sorry for you
I had it spoiled by the nice people on the internet. Fun times
13 years later, this is still the best Marvel movie. With this film, Downey and Favreau invented the modern blockbuster.
I respect RDJ for always bringing his A game to the Iron Man role. No matter how many movies he did, he never checked out of the character all the way to the end.
Just got back from Schaffrillas Studios video. Love you guys
Seeing Endgame on Sunday, to say that I'm hyped is an understatement!
dude stay off comment sections and social media until then
@@seanexomai yeah I plan to! 😁
There are spoilers already in these comments I think, I suggest that you don't read replies to yours either. Have fun! The movie's a blast.
"Next time baby" 😂😂😂
😆😆😆😂🤣
“ it’ll be just as satisfying, if not more so to see him break out of this cave”
Captain marvel: Reeeeeaaaaally nooooow...
This film still stands well with time . In fact its one of my favorite MCU film among Winter Soldier and now these last two Avengers films.
I'm always suprised that someone hasn't done an essay of Sarah Finn, Marvels casting director. At least for the main 6, in my opinion she nailed it and I hope she got a raise. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks.
Nobody has made a video about it, but some youtuber actually mentioned it in his video about MCU
love your essays
I was actually having this conversation yesterday with a guy at work, about how the first iron man film was basically the grandfather of the mcu, and how increasingly well it's aged. Funny coincidences.
Also I gave you guys some criticism on how you did the add integration on the last video which you replied to. I know it doesn't mean much, but I want to say this was far better, didn't feel slimey. I know the video would have been made already before my comment last time, but I hope they're done like this more.
Thanks for watching. As we mentioned, different sponsors require different stipulations - we were able to do what you wanted on this occasion. We've got rules to follow that are bespoke for each opportunity. If we transition into them, thats not an attempt on our part to hoodwink anyone - we always feel that were clear on what paid promotions are, and really thats the most we can ever do, they are what they are.
love the videos man!
There were Avengers, when I was a boy. Where they went, only a few know.
started as cautiously using cgi to just cgi-ing almost every fight scene
@SpiritWolf2K Really? They still use a ton of practical effects. The fight on Titan involved Josh Brolin standing and acting while each actor bounced around on wires kicking his ass. They built a huge set for it too, the backdrop was CGI but the characters are standing on real ground and running across a physical set
SpiritWolf2K you also have to compare 2006 cgi to 2019 cgi, the diference is night and day modern cgi sometimes is almost indistinguible from the real thing
ir you have the money of course that fortunately this movies have
@SpiritWolf2K Their suits are only sometimes CGI. And again, they still have stunt doubles on wires and motion trackers to act out what Iron Man/Spiderman are doing when they are CGI.
I keep having to remind myself that every Full Fat Essay is actually like four minutes shorter than the timer indicates due to the ads.
Seeing Endgame Sunday night, probably up to 2am while seats were available. I'm so nervous I don't want to see how it ends. I will legitimately cry if the worst happens to Tony. I don't want to see that >.
i so agree with the music part, its how i was introduced to acdc which is why i love them so much
Love the video man, keep it up 😁
I like how they still reference the Butler Jarvis in Endgame.
As far as I’m aware that was the only reference to one of the tv shows... being Agent Carter.
Great video👍👍 keep up the good work
Ya I did
Yesss new video!
The fact that Favereu is currently working on Disney’s Star Wars makes me think that in a few years we’re getting a Star Wars cinematic universe. I mean we already kinda are getting one.
I do remember when it was announced in 2006. Return of the Kings left its mark in film, the Goblet of Fire and Revenge of the Sith came out the year before, Johnny Depp was killing it in pirates of the Caribbean, with the one film at the time. The marvel films at the time kept coming so another superhero movie wasn't uncommon, but when you first watched Ironman in 2008, you wanted more films like this, which changed the way franchises work. I really like the Mandalorian for its story, and Farveau knows how to tell a story because he loves what he doing while making his work.
Iron man was my favorite movie when I saw it in 2008 and it is still my favorite 11 years later
I think that Tony REALLY officially became Iron Man when he put on the Mark 3
GOD DAMN SON THAT WAS FUCKING MIIIIIIILKYYYYYY!!!! I found myself nodding and going “holy shit yes!” A dozen times. Damn good research here boys.
Seriously how are you madmen pumping out this many AMAZING essays this fast?? Putting aside the extraordinarily proficient editing, the actual prose is seriously top ten you tube work, Marvel-related, Movie-related, or otherwise.
Seriously top notch work.
thank you Kyle, always a pleasure to read your feedback! glad you keep coming back
Full Fat Videos the pleasure is all mine, Gents. I don’t know if you saw my other comment but I am crossing my fingers that you guys are working on a “One MARVELous Scene” video. Even sans invitation they said they’d add any they got to the playlist. That’s the kinda exposure you can’t buy.
As for the video, I’d be interested to see how you see the impact of Iron Man in other Phase 1 movies, outside of the obvious plot structure components. The flavor, the cuts, the color,
I wish I could afford to contribute to the Patreon- you guys would easily be my first. Been watching you guys since practically the first Marvel bid. Until then I’ll keep watching and clicking ads!
DONT EVER STOP
The Black Sabbath moment at the end is my favorite mcu scene.
Great video!
*"I AM IRON MAN"* - Tony Stark 2019(Endgame)
If the MCU iron man has a kid he better name him Yensin I swear if they don't ima be mad he was the one that taught tony how to be human
Yoooo I didn't catch Pepper's roast until you pointed it out. Damn that was savage
Why hasn’t Jon Favreau directed more MCU movies?
because Iron Man 2 was shit
David oh. Well that does answer the question. Moving on.
He's busy playing Happy Hogan
He directed Iron Man 2, which didn't get bad reviews (73% on Rotten Tomatoes is good- just not for the MCU, though it still beats other MCU movies like Incredible Hulk and The Dark World- and was okay for the time when it was released) and was more financially successful than Iron Man (and all other non-Avengers phase 1 MCU movies), but didn't go as well as hoped. Iron Man 2 suffers from the same things Age of Ultron did- too much focus on building up the franchise, setting up future plots, characters, etc. as opposed to just telling a good movie- supposedly because of meddling from the studio. Anyway, Iron Man 2 didn't reach its potential; as a result, Favreau wasn't asked to do Iron Man 3. He was a good sport about it though- not only does he continue to play Happy Hogan, but he is also credited as Executive Producer for all 4 Avengers movies and Iron Man 3.
Anyone else still traumatised after Endgame? I really need someone to talk to about it...
You really had to lay it on thick with the Terrence Howard trolling 😂
This video, along with the movie it's about, is perfect. One thing though, where was the tank missle scene?!
If I could change one thing about Marvel’s music, it would be keeping the original score. The other scores are fine but the original by Ramin Djawadi (the composer of Game of Thrones) is just the best.
When you said "One last time" in the conclusion, my mind immediately went to Theoden in Helm's Deep.
"It will be just as satisfying, if not more so, to see him break out of this cave and become iron man one last time"
I can only imagine your disappointment when this scene came up
I'll add to that: Sam Raimi showed hollywood that a full-blown comic book look can work.
My favorite scene from a superhero movie
ruclips.net/video/UjRllqUGcXs/видео.html
5:01 the greater good!
I think it all begins with the animated movies Ultimate Avengers that was the first time people were really introduced to these characters outside of the comic books and thus the beginning of the paving of the road that would lead us to the marvel cinematic universe we know today.
In all of the mcu since day one theyve always called attention to iron mans right arm. He broke the damn thing in nearly every appearance in the mcu or at least all the biggest and most essential events for iron man and the mcu, not to menton tons and tons of weird moments that call attention to his right arm. I especially love the parallel of him building his first true Iron Man gauntlet and repulsor and putting it on his right hand, only for Iron Man to make the stark-tech guntlet thats also right handed, and then using his right hand to snap thanos and his armies. So cool and unbelievably ompressive. The amount of work effort and dedication this took automatically a classic series of movies that all together create a masterpiece of filmmaking and is an achievement in filmmaking in aa technical way, an emotionally resonant and emotionally satisfying, and of. Course highest grossing movie of all time
Nicely said, my good man! And... what a segue! ;) Rikki Tikki.
Always quality
Great video
When I first watched this movie in 2008, I never could've guessed the empire it would help build; I just remember walking away from the film like, wow that was actually pretty good
Brilliant video
I still remember how I was BLOWN AWAY when I was told to stay at the cinema when the credits rolled and saw my first ever postcred scene. I was literally amazed. And I still laugh whenever anyone leaves as the credits start rolling on any Marvel movie :D
Well instead of laughing, why not shout about the EC Scene?
@@ScotsDestroyer Because people just leave when they know they come, actually. I've heard them talk about knowing they come, and leave, still.
This movie is in my top 5
That transition to the Square Space ad certainly wasn't built out of a box of scraps.
The End credit scene in Endgame is the best one so far
What was it? my parents made me leave the cinema so i didnt get to see it
@@angelinaelchammas2506 the end credits
Greatest film in the MCU. Always will be.
Not the greatest but definitely one of the best!
@@reddiamond8136 I disagree.
Indirectly calling me biased isn't respect.
Especially when you don't know why I prefer this film.
@@billypathy Well, never mind me.
great video looking foward to your kevin feige video and i would too see a endgame video centered around steve and tony love u 3000
