Couple of things:
The scene where army's convoy gets ambushed is taken from The Best Defense story. That's also where, if I recall, the character of Christine Everheart is introduced (though Stark does not sleep with her), who works for Daily Bugle.
Regarding CB Obadiah, Stark did not come ''on top''. He lost. Obadiah, much like you mentioned, saw life as a chess match in which you cannot lose. So he didn't. He committed suicide, therefore, he will not answer for his crimes. So he won, in his mind (or what was left of it after he blew his head open with a repulsor ray).
The character growth of Stark, going from a weapon manufacturer to a pacifist, is taken from Bill Mantlo's brilliant one-shot story titled ''Vengeance in Vietnam''. It was the first time Stark's regret over his involvement with the millitary-industrial complex was addressed.
Stark's look in the first film is very close to Sean Chen's art from the late 90s Iron Man run.
Rhodey being the first guy Stark meets after escaping from captivity is part of Demon in a Bottle's flashback.
The arc reactor thing-y did not exist in the comics. But it was most likely inspired by the artificial metal heart Stark received in The Mask of Iron story.
And lastly, Stark did not reveal his identity to the press during a press conference. In the comics he did so when trying to save some kid's dog that was about to get hit by a car. In the movie Stark did out of narcisisim. In the comics it happened by accident when he was trying to do a heroic act.
Great additional info here! I'm gonna pin this for others to see.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the press conference detail though. Stark jumped off the balcony where the press conference was taking place to save the dog. And then the press scramble to ask him questions as he's in the suit. I would say that definitely qualifies as "during a press conference".
a fun detail is that the fake story Coulson comes up with in the movie - Iron Man being Tony's bodyguard - was Tony's actual cover story in the comics for decades
@@jalapenoofjustice4682Peter Parker uses it as a coverup as well with Parker Industries
Ooh new series, From Panels to Pictures, From Scenes to Cinema :)
Is it too late for a rebrand? 🤔
@@PanelstoPixels From Dayiies to Drive Ins :D
This was really fun. I'm looking forward to more of these! Would love to see what comics inspired the stuff found in other movies!
Jesus the editing in this goes so hard. That music montage 😮💨
WAIT IS THIS THE ACTUAL GOAT
Thanks Diego! Gonna start dropping random music montages in all my vids from now on.
Don’t use the lord’s name in vain brother
@@Ravon_Regularthat's actually not what "using the Lord's name in vain" means. It has nothing to do with saying anything.
It has to do with falsely acting in his name. Doing something vainly in the Lord's name
Definitely neat to see how all these comic books helped influence the movie.
As always, great video! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for this new series.
I love this style of video! I'm a big fan of the history behind these characters and it's great to get a crash course in where the storylines came from.
Oh my God. I've wanted this series for 13 years. This is the best week ever!
Great idea for a video series
I've have been wanting to see someone tackle this topic and of course one of my favourite RUclipsrs would be the one to do it!
josh you’ve been making my favourite videos to watch while cooking for years. thank you for your service
Aw, thanks for sticking with me all these years. It means a lot, sincerely.
Iron Man and Panels to Pixels? Awesome
I always look forward to your videos because of how well edited and constructed they are , keep up with the good work
Loved this! I'm already waiting for the next one. I'd love a video for each MCU release
Looking forward to the rest of this series!
Great great video, as always. I know I’ve said it before, but must again. The quality of your videos are top notch, and you’re a joy to watch.
Love all your videos Josh. Great job!
Love the idea of this video! Looking forward to more like this :))
Loved this video, i hope you make more like this
What a great idea. Can't wait to see morenof this series 🎉 SO much effort in the edit! Your values are absolutely next level, bro.
Yess this is amazing such incredible inspiration it's great to see the history 🙌🏾
This is magnificent. Great work, dude!
Would love to see these types of videos for the rest of MCU films. I'm reading Iron Man myself and to me it's always interesting to find which comic book series served as the subject of direct adaptation or partial inspiration for the films.
What a great video! I'd love for you to tackle more of these with other MCU movies like The Incredible Hulk and Thor
Your channel is one of the few channels I actually enjoy on this app. Keep it up man.
Thanks, that means a lot!
Iron Man 232 was the Comic that got me into Iron Man in the late 80's. Love that cover.
Apart from starting the MCU this movie was just so good for being a comic book movie
The X-Men movies initially were too afraid to embrace the comics and the Spider-Man trilogy felt like a fantasy world particularly in the characters and the dialogue but Ironman was just right and I feel the same about all the phase 1 movies
Josh's voice reminds me of those "top 50 adverts from when you were young" programs ITV sometimes puts out where random TV personalities are interviewed about their memories of smash or something equally mundane.
I mean this as the highest of compliments.
From another Iron Man fan it feels like you got em all! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I’ve read all of these (some of them multiple times at this point) and that it was fun seeing the comic books origins of this character I already grew to love on the big screen! (Not sure what it says about me that I’ve read all these though…I guess I could blame the pandemic but that really is only an excuse lol 😅)
I am significantly less familiar with Shell-Head’s fellow Avengers and their film’s comic analogies (the closest that I’ve read the most of is Thor), so it would be fun to see those if you made a series of this concept! 😁✨ Nice work as always 👍🏽
Thanks! I think I'll do at least Phase One in order, so Hulk's up next.
Another great video! This channel always makes me so happy-and not just because you wore that cool sweater
Haha, thanks! I had to get the knitwear out early this year.
Amazing video. Love it.
Gr8 idea for a series for this channel.
This was really good. I know its waaay too much to ask but id love for this series to go on and do a ton more of the mcu movies
great video
Subscribed, looking forward to seeing more videos like this 🙂
Recently started collecting comic Omnibuses, so should give me some great tips on what to prioritise checking out to ease into some of the characters' rich histories 🙂
Thanks for the sub!
Omg yinsen was in the comic, that's cool!
Awesome!
This series is going to grab you a whole lot more subscribers, mark my words.
The edit 🔥🔥
Thanks!
Excited for the rest of this series, I wonder if you're also going to other cbm's in general?
If people enjoy the MCU stuff, I'll definitely get into some other superhero movies. It would be fun to do the 2000s X-Men and Spideys, for sure.
@@PanelstoPixels Nice.
I appreciated this video and do not think you are a hypocrite at all.
That said, my views on Universes Beyond are much more negative overall, so I will be passing on this weekend's videos. I don't expect that will hurt your channel, and I wouldn't want it to. A lot of people will likely really enjoy the crossover and your joy in it!
As always, be true to yourself.
My man is backkkk so happy to see you boss, Awesome video as always 👏🏻 just gotta ask you this, you've deleted a LOT of videos from what I understand. Why is that really? And is there any other way to watch em? I know you probably deleted them for a reason but I need more Panels to Pixels 😅 For real.
Thanks! I unlisted a lot of my old gaming videos because I was finding that they were getting recommended to people who only want to watch my comic book stuff and it was hurting my numbers. At some point, I might put them in a playlist or on a second channel but it's mostly stuff from years ago that doesn't really hold up. I appreciate your interest though!
Winter Soldier next please 🙏 - Brubaker is iconic
This is awesome! I love the amount of cate and effort that went into this abd I hope this series can continue to all the other movies.
One question though, outside of Nick Fury I'm surprised you never mentioned the Ultimate Universe Iron Man? He was referenced by the film's creatives a major inspiration for the character's modernisation in the early 2000s, such as his more pronounced playboy snarky attitude way more similar to RDJ than the mainstream Stark, his suit needing to be fitted by machines, and how the rest of the MCU would rake several elements of the Ultimate stories and combine them with the classics. Any thoughts on this or whether you'll mention the Ultimate Universe versions of characters in future videos?
Thanks! I'll definitely be getting more into the Ultimate Universe as I continue towards The Avengers. Some of the designs in Captain America: The First Avenger are obviously Ultimate-inspired, for example. I didn't purposefully leave the Ultimate stuff out of this video but I guess its influence isn't as apparent in Iron Man, which was a pretty straight adaptation of his 616 origin. I'm also just not as familiar with the Ultimate continuity as I am 616, if I'm being honest. So I appreciate your comment keeping me on my toes!
These comic book inspiration for comic book movies are top notch
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.
Im loving this series already
great vid,see you next month…
Haha, hopefully sooner but fair point.
The Iron Man concept, origin-story plot, and initial armor design: I'd probably give a pinch more credit to Jack Kirby. The red/yellow re-design looks like Steve Ditko artwork. Not to minimize Stan Lee's contribution, but let's not shortchange the artists, who were very involved in the storytelling.
it was steve ditko artwork.
I think I'm probably the only person in the world who's still shaken by the Rhodey casting switch. I have to admit Cheadle might be a better fit with the comic art but Howard's still the real War Machine to me.
Mate can you do videos analysing each mcu film comicbook inspirations
Good idea for a series! Great watch.
Cant wait till you get to Love and Thunder 😅Thankfully, its far off.
First Avengers should be really interesting.
Loved that marvel superheroes cartoon reference
Great Series.I can't wait for the other MCU Super Heroes.
Damm you have some many good hairstyles
Video suggestion: Talk about X-Men Heroes for Hope
Hmm, this would be an interesting video. I've made a note of it. Thanks!
Groovy man
4:02 you’re saying that Stane is the reason we got the demon in a bottle story?
Nah, Demon In A Bottle was a while before Stane's debut.
Wait, what is wrong with Warren Ellis? I thought this guy is a legend. I mean his Transmetropolitan is.
He's guilty of having consensual sex with multiple women and then not calling them the next day. That's it. That's literally it.
Not a fan of the solo Iron Man movies or books. I mean Robert Downey Jr. completely personified/legitimized the character for me. But I'm not a fan outside of his group setting appearances (movies and books.) That said I would love to see more videos like this with other characters from the MCU or other comic books movies.
7:42 Quick question what’s wrong with Warren Ellis? I’ve heard things about that he’s bad but idk why someone please give context
The biggest mistake in the video has got to be the fact that Tony originally builds his armour not as a weapon, but as some kind of super-defibrillator to keep his heart going and this fact plays a major role in lots of stories from the 60's and 70's. Obviously, it's completely skipped in the movie. And, "unfortunately" when speaking of Warren Ellis? Are you kidding me?
Tales of Suspense #39, page 5: "This I promise you... I shall build the most fantastic *weapon* of all time!... I'll build it, all right. But it will be mine..." Neither is this skipped in the movie. There's a whole scene where Yinsen explains that the shrapnel is getting closer to his heart and Tony builds the arc reactor to stop it. And since you've been ignorant about everything else in your comment, it shouldn't surprise me that you are ignorant of the testimonials of literally almost 100 women. Don't let the door hit you!
@@PanelstoPixels if you want to insinuate someone's ignorance about something and you choose to use a quote to do so, I would suggest that you do so using the full sentences, not just the ones you're comfortable with, Fox News style. You may risk sounding less intelligent than you would like to make yourself out to be. For your convenience, the full quote would be: “This I promise you... I shall build the most fantastic weapon of all time!... I'll build it, all right. But it will be mine... made for only one purpose… to keep me alive” (bold as per the original book).
See? It works much better to explain the point of view that Tony Stark primarily wanted to build a contraption to keep him alive and secondarily a weapon (so he could exploit the enemy's labs). Amazing, isn't it?
And for the Warren Ellis topic, I couldn't care less about anyone's testimonies (although I'm perfectly aware of them), we're talking about one of the best English-language comics writers of the last 30 years, and that's the topic you're dealing with: English-language comics.
Funny, huh?
Or are you part of that unfortunate coven who think Caravaggio's Judith and Holofernes is a horror because a murderer and rapist painted it?
I don't see no doors that may cause me harm. Do you?
That suit is the best. 👍🏽
I'm not a fan of the nano tech.👎🏽
what did warren ellis do
He used the same chat up lines on a bunch of women successfully. Grown women, consensually. Over 50 of them... There is of course an argument about the power disparity between the famous and clever writer and the bunch of fan girls he slept with based on some empty promises. The industry has forgiven literal wife beaters and rapists... but the guy that gave half the modern comis world a voice... nope still persona non grata.
The guy you could argue was literally responsible for 25 billion in movie money for Disney. Disgraced writer Warren Ellis.
And so we've not had anything from the guy since. Meaning artists not getting the break warren would give them.
The guy gave attention to a murderer's row of artistic Talent. Odds are the first time you saw an artist who would be huge was on a book warren wrote.
Who's doing that for artists now?
No one.
Oh well I felt the need to rant on the term disgraced.
❤❤❤❤
Samuel L Jackson and the Nick Fury situation doesnt get as much attention as it should.... Like any other egotistical celebrity wouldve flipped over their likeness being used in a LOWLY comic book.. Of course this man turned it into a BAG for years to come. He literally beat disney.
I just imagine Samuel L Jackson like :" This motherfucker kinda look like me... Motherfucker that IS me. "
*Calls disney*
Disney is shitting on itself from the legal repurccusions... Then the mad man sam... Just lays out his vision for the character on screen 😭
Why is warren Ellis disgraced

Dawg. I know you Brits pronounce certain words differently from the rest of us, like AluminUM v. Al-YOU-min-E-um (which is obviously, grossly wrong)… but Eye-RON Man??? Dude. It’s fucking Eye-EARN Man. I didn’t make up these rules, btw- your people did. 😂❤

Good looking out for that algorithm. 🙏
@@PanelstoPixels always good sir, thanks for all the great content.
@@PanelstoPixels also, reply.
Umm. The Iron Man _COMICS_ were the inspiration for the film. The films ruined comics
