my first true step into the marvel universe and i am SO IMPRESSED! i loved watching iron man and i cannot wait to continue in the MCU! thanks friends for watching!
Also fun fact: Tony eating cheese burgers is actually a call back to one of Robert Downy Jr's road to rehab. When he was younger in his acting career, Robert got into a lot of drugs and went to a pretty dark place. One time he went to Burger King and said that the burger was so disgusting, it actually gave him a moment of clarity. In that moment he decided to clean himself up. From there I think he threw his drugs into the trash or the ocean (I forget) and then checked himself into a rehab clinic.
Also it wasn’t that the burger was disgusting, it was a burger that he normally liked. But he realized at that moment that his drug addiction had gotten so bad that he couldn’t even enjoy a burger.
I've always liked the little touch at the press conference, where after his reveal, everyone stands up shouting, except the one woman who didn't believe his "official" story.
The story of the first Iron Man suit is pretty much as it was originally, down to Yinsen's fate. It's merely been updated from Vietnam War era (around when Iron Man made his first comic appearance) to the Gulf War era. And Yinsen isn't a killer and doesn't want to be. He's buying time, but he doesn't want to take life. Yinsen: the first big hero in the Iron Man story.
Also, Burger King is awesome. If I've just made it out of a near death experience nobody better come at me with McDonald's cos there'll be hell to pay. And while 5 guys is good, I don't want a burger that is that messy when I've only got one fully functional arm and I'm wearing a suit.
"I am Iron Man". The phrase that sparked an incredible universe that I grew up in. I'm so thankful that I grew up during this and was able to experience these in the theaters.
13:15 Yinsen chased after them because he knew Tony needed more time. The three men ran from Yinsen because they heard an automatic weapon being fired towards them and they had no cover. These guys are most likely more focused on keeping themselves alive than neutralizing their target and who knows how much training they had. Also, they knew they had backup behind them.
Giving Robert the role of Ironman might be the best decision Marvel has ever made for the Mcu. As Robert has said before,"there is no Marvel Cinematic Universe without him"
Considering that decision and how good RDJ was and how good Iron Man came to be in the MCU, it's really funny that when Sony got first dibs at what Marvel characters they wanted, they only picked Spider-Man thinking he was the only one worthwhile. What a flub that turned out to be.
fun fact: in comics for a very long time even big avengers hid their true identity, like tony. The two biggest avengers are iron man and captain america but tony only revealed his identity to him in avengers #216, and only decades later in 2002 did tony reveal to the public that he is iron man (the character was created in 1963). So the movies improved a lot on his character as you can see at the end of the movie. His popularity wasn't on the level of spiderman, fantastic four or x-men, but this movie made ironman one of the best characters.
I'm sure people will bring this up (didn't see it yet) but that first iron man suit that looks so different was a throwback to when iron man first appeared in comics. That's how his suit originally looked in the early 60's.
The balding engineer that Obadiah yelled at is played by Peter Billingsly, who as a boy played the central character in the movie, "A Christmas Story."
Something to look out for. Tony Stark’s friend Rhodey (the guy in the Air Force) is recast from Iron Man 2 onwards. He ends up being played by Don Cheadle. Hulk/Bruce Banner is also recast after the Incredible Hulk movie onwards.
I can't believe I missed this before! So much fun. Iron Man looks like a ballerina because in the MCU he uses both his glove & boot thrusters to fly & steer. In the comics he usually just had boot thrusters, but maybe they decided that was relatively unrealistic. As you saw, he discovered the fact that his glove thrusters could also be used as weapons. ... You suffer from a misconception; weapons don't make wars. It's the other way around. Also the movie is very misleading about US arms exports; they're very stringently controlled, especially high tech stuff. That's why Congress was hesitant to allow Israel to buy the F-22. They were concerned that the Russians & Chinese might gain access to the tech. BTW, Obadiah did the arguable moral thing with that injunction. It wasn't clear, But Stark Enterprises is publicly owned, so the CEO and board of directors have a financial responsibility to the stockholders. Note that the share values dropped over 40% after Tony's announcement. That's money out of the pockets of the stockholders. Obadiah had nothing to do with Tony's parents death. You'll eventually find out what happened. ... Don't know if you caught the joke when Rhodey complained about Tony being late for the flight: "I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair." Tony starts out as irresponsible playboy, but his character arc spans 10 years.
One of the best things they did when starting the MCU was beginning with Ironman. Because his technology is his power, it is the easiest to suspend disbelief for. By the time magic and space enter the equation, it's much easier to swallow.
Interesting. I think you're right, which makes the Sony and Fox deals actually a blessing in disguise because if they would have had the movie rights, they probably would have begun with Spidey or maybe the X-men. I think you're right that it is good that they didn't.
I just love Obie's "wat" reaction to the icing problem. That scene also really demonstrated that there are certain advantages to Tony's recklessness. If he wasn't so aggressively pushing boundaries and trying stupid things because he can, he never would have discovered the problem.
"We were just having a good time, talking about myspace and gang signs." LOL This is my first time watching one of your reaction videos and your commentary had me cracking up. If you continue on watching the rest of the MCU movies, you will definitely see Tony's character arc swing much more toward the better.
Yenson didn't want to kill anyone and so he shot at the roof. He said he wanted to see his family and he knew they were dead, so all he needed was a good time to checkout.
Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Deadpool falls under the Xmen umbrella which previously belonged to Fox studios and was eventually bought by Disney. So yes, Deadpool is now MCU but he has yet to be formally introduced. Deadpool 3 is expected to be his first MCU movie though you never know, we may see him show up in some form sooner than that.
Your Infinity War reaction popped in my feed, so I decided to watch yours from the beginning. Dont worry about living under a rock with the MCU. I watched Iron Man 1 when it first came out because I saw a tv advert for it as a kid and asked my mom. I had no idea outside of that one advert about the MCU, I only knew about a sequel for it and watched that too then didn't watch another one until around 1.5-2 years ago. I just binged all of them in order to catch up. Granted I was like 8 at the time, but that doesn't excuse that I actively decided not to "right" my wrong by watching the MCU knowing full well that Iron Man 1 started it at the age of 22.
Also, just wanted to share as someone who grew up in the '70s and '80s reading Marvel comics how exciting it was to see this movie for the first time in the theater will no clue about the MCU that was to follow it. I was never a huge Iron Man fan in the comics so I really wasn't expecting much and was completely blown away by how great this was. But then in the post credits scene saying they were going to be putting together the Avengers, it seemed so huge, nothing like that had ever been done before. It was very exciting as they then started announcing the plans for the MCU and we were left wondering how they were going to pull all this off.
Welcome to the MCU, Emme! It's gonna be a long journey ahead for you. :) 1. Remember to watch the films by *Release Order* since you are first timers, I presume. That means after Iron Man 1, it's the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, etc. Chronological/Timeline Order is recommended mostly for experienced viewers. 2. Remember to watch every credits scene after each film. :) 3. Keep an eye out for Stan Lee cameos. 4. Enjoy the wild ride ahead.
I watched the films by the order of the timeline so Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, etc. I personally Enjoyed it watching it like that but that's just me.
@@blackpowderuser373 Yeah now that you mention it, you're 100% right. I remember watching the Captain Marvel end credit scene and being super confused lol, later on, I figured out it correlated to Infinity War.
Yep, there is no reason to watch MCU movies in anything but Release Order unless you have already seen them all. Even then I never found that Chronological added anything at all the the viewing experience.
Fun trivia, the scientist getting yelled at by Obadiah who says "I'm not Tony Stark" is played by Peter Billingsley, best known for his role as Ralphie in A Christmas Story.
Modern tanks typically require one person to drive, another to operate the cannon, and still a third person to load. Maybe Pepper could have crawled around inside the tank to the different stations to do all three jobs at once, but it would not have been very easy.
I love the comics & the MCU is so much more clever than most people give it credit for. They give original stories with classic characters, they get the characters right (mostly lol), but they also add many nods back to the comics. So even if you are a true comic fan you never 100% know what to expect. Just one example, in the comics Iron Mans identity wasn't known, but he was always showing up, the cover story, so Tony could keep his identity secret, was that Iron Man was Tony's bodyguard. These sorts of things, references, nods, twists run through the MCU, welcome to the MCU marathon lol
The Mk I suit (the one he built in the cave) is the precursor to the Iron Monger suit that Obi builds. The Mk II flight suit is destined to be the War Machine armor (hinted at when Rhodey looks at it and says "Next time, baby"). The Mk III suit up sequence in this film is likely the BEST in all of cinema, it's so badass, gives the suit a real presence and how it's not just some cheap little gimmick armor or something, it's ARMOR.
I remember seeing this one in theaters back in the day... it was amazing then, and it still holds up. And yeah, we had no idea what was in store for us. And that whole "I am Iron Man" and its echo throughout the series... it is just amazing.
Without this movie we wouldn't have the MCU that we have today because Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for the role as Tony Stark aka The Invincible Ironman and he does have the look of the character from the comics while looking badass in the armor, Awesome reaction Emme.
I feel like a lot of people in the comments were probably too young to recall this but since I'm like a million years old I thought I'd mention that the guy from the financial show that yells at the camera and talks about the new "Stark Industries business plan!" at about 18:30 into the video, that's not an actor. There's an actual show called 'Mad Money' on MSNBC. The guy talks about finance and stock trading and his schtick was shouting into the camera and he had a sound board that he could hit a button and all sorts of loud noises would be played. Presumably it was to keep people occupied who cared about stock but found it too boring. It still airs but since it's now been on the air for 18 years they have long since dropped the yelling as it's kind of tough to keep that up for almost 2 decades. Jon Stewart shamed the hell out of the guy too so his ego might have taken a hit which could have cause him to not be as loud with his forecasts. He shouted that people would be stupid to take money from Bear Stearns right before the 2008 financial crash and people lost a lot of money because of what he said. Somehow he still has a job so make of that what you will.
I never read the story but in the early eighties there was the whole Demon in a Bottle story line in the comics where Tony Stark was dealing with his alcoholism. The first issue of that storyline we see stark looking at his reflection, in the mirror, without his helmet but wearing his armor, looking like absolute hell with a bottle of liquor sitting visibly in front of him
5:30 so it wasn't right right after. It wasn't the same missles he fired in the presentation. Just some of his own stuff that was "stolen" from him. But completely different missiles. Because I think the truck scene where he was with the military was actually supposed to be like hours after the weapons presentation. :)
Emme, I’ve been loving all of your reactions and am so excited for you to be starting the MCU. As many other commenters have noted Deadpool is not officially in the MCU despite now being owned by Disney but Spider-Man is part of the MCU although those movies are not on Disney+. Since I assume you’re watching these on D+ you’ll need to find another way to watch the Spider-Man movies and there are plenty of lists to tell you where they fit in release order. Can’t wait for your reactions!
13:02 "why are they running from him?" Because he has a gun, and sometimes movies don't write scenes with video game logic. As far as they know he's already aiming to kill them around the corner and it's easier to retreat than walking around a cave wall to a wall of bullets. They don't know Yinsen isn't the murdery type.
Trivia...the suit up sequence when Tony gets armored up for his intervention at Gulmira was licensed, move for move, from Blizzard Games who used it in a very populat teaser trailer for Starcraft 2. The same armor-up sequence has not, so dar as I recall, ever been used twice. Its different each time we see it on camera.
"I don't know why they ran from him to begin with" Well you see most people don't run directly at a man who is screaming and shooting an assault rifle wildly.
Let's go, I always love seeing people jump into these movies from the beginning! Superhero movies did used to generally stink, but Iron Man caught everyone off guard. It was like a lightbulb went off in movie exec's heads that it was possible to make them well.
Obadiah appears in this movie as just a generic weapons dealing greedy rich guy but captain America and winter soldier adds some really interesting potential context
Don Cheadle’s rhoades grew on me over time, but Terrance Howard was literally perfect in the role. I swear, in iron man 2, I actually thought rhoades didn’t like Tony at all 😂
if i remember or is a mistake, the story about eat burger it was not original in the iron man they add it for addition to the story. Robert Downey Jr.'s [ actor for tony ] his habits for stop his addiction. The actor often brings his own food to set and hides it so he can eat during different scenes. so they made Tony Stark's have a craving for cheeseburgers.
Oh this is going to be so much fun, I’m here for your journey. I haven’t seen the first Iron Man in years, forgot just how good it was. Pretty much set the tone for all of phase 1, can’t wait for the next reaction. 😄
The arc reactor is like a feat in human engineering you really don’t understand how powerful it is he has enough energy in that tiny arc reactor in his chest to power a city and the reason it’s so ground breaking is it’s an impossible build it’s a self sustaining clean energy source meaning most machines use energy to operate and this one uses its own energy and doesn’t lose energetic over time actually makes more and more the only thing keeping it from killing Jim’s is that it has a constant drain because it’s also an electromagnet keeping the shrapnel from entering his heart and killing him
Congratulations Emme on your first step. I really enjoyed your Moon Knight reactions; great observations and insights. I suspect you're really going to enjoy this journey. 3 things I'm sure other have mentioned: 1) watch in release order, 2) watch for Stan lee cameo; 3) watch the mid and aftercredits scenes.
Emme, I'm glad we're both on the same page about the use of Burger King 😂 If I had been in the desert for a long while and I eventually came back home, Burger King would be the last thing I'd want for my first meal since.
Great reaction, Emme! I literally just found your channel today and watched all of your Moon Knight reactions, which were also great. I can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the MCU. You've got a lot of great films and surprises ahead in this series.
It always hits me how the entire MCU ends before it begins if not for Yinsen. His saving Tony's life set everything else in motion and, of course, that's important 20+ films from now.
Fury, Phil, Thor, Carol, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, T'chala, Peter, Drax, Rocket, Nebula, Gamora, Mantis, all the Eternals, Hank, Janet, Bill, Isiah, Sam, Bucky, and Steve already happened before this. The MCU would be different without Yinsen, but it wouldn't end.
@@LimitlessEntertainment826 First movie, but not even close to the first hero. Tony in no way "set everything in motion". I just listed 31 heroes who in no way were set in motion by Iron Man.
@DragonbIaze052 Iron man was the first mcu movie and was extremely successful. So yes it set the mcu in motion. Idk what your talking about, if it's comics or time line wise.
@@LimitlessEntertainment826 Maybe you aren't reading the first post. "It always hits me how the entire MCU ends before it begins if not for Yinsen. His saving Tony's life set everything else in motion" In-universe, Tony Stark barely set anything in motion. His only net contributions are negative since almost every villain he defeats is one he helped create, and hundreds of people were hurt by those villains.
I commend the fact you've hardly been in the MCU for this long but fun fact when Obadiah said we're iron mongers, that was his supervillain name in the comics the Iron Monger, hope you enjoy the MCU on your journey 👍👍👍
YT just recommended your videos and it's been long ago enough, I'm enjoying rewatching Marvel with you and how your comments can be equally thoughtful or super snarky! 😁
You may have already answered your question why Pepper wouldn't use the tank: she is not trained in it and a tank operates very different from other vehicles. Driving it would be a problem on its own and to use the gun, you would need another person (tank crews usually consist of 4-5 people, all with very specific roles - see "Fury" for example. But you definitely need a driver and a gunner). At best it would be a somewhat safe hiding spot, but there is no guarantee that Obidiah's suit wouldn't be able to destroy it (it's got missiles and stuff).
thanks for your comment! i obviously don't know anything about tanks and tons of people have said that she can't use it by herself but have not explained why, and your description was super detailed so thank you! i had no idea that it would require both a driver and a gunner i was really thinking she could just run in there and use the gun LOL
Also given that it's outside the Stark Industries building (arms manufacturer), I always assumed it was a display piece only at that point (with most of the onboard systems disabled/removed).
First time viewer. Subscribed. Love your vibe and clean slate life experience with movies. I've always wanted a friend like that, that I could show the world of movies to! Lol. Reactions are as close as I get 😂. Keep up the fantastic work 🤩
"When I used 'MySpace' when I was too young to be on 'MySpace.'" Well, THAT made my heart stop. Biggest jump scare of the day for me. Glad you're O.K..
Nick Fury in the Original comics was white originally but in the 2000's in an issue of Spider-Man the artists based their interpretation of Nick Fury on Samuel L Jackson from his character from the movie Shaft, (It is also to be noted that this Nick Fury was from another Timeline in the comics so they made the change to reflect things are a lil different.) Staying after the credits became the norm with these films Before the Odd film would have an after credit but not often. I used to manage a Movie Theater when this was out and the staff we would put on a film a few days before it came out and watch em after the site was closed (Staff Previews) We saw the film and walked out not watching the after credit as we were in the car park chilling and smoking at 4am in the morning after the film, the Projectionist walks over to say goodbye before going to his car and says there is an end credit scene and that Larence Fishburn shows up with an eye patch at the end. Myself and a friend were like SHIT eye patch Nick Fury is IN THE MOVIE and then discussed how it would have been better if it was Samuel L Jackson because of the comics. The Next day we watched the film again on opening night and Cheered hard that it was actually Samuel L and that the projectionist was mistaken.
This is just the start of one of the best character redemption story arcs in movie history. Enjoy the ride, and remember the cheeseburgers. Btw, you were right in two ways at the end. Tony didn't stick to the script because ROBERT DOWNEY didn't stick to the script. He thought it would be cool to just say "I AM Iron Man." and it worked so perfectly, Jon Favreau kept it in. Nobody knew how important this improv'd line would be later on...
I could still remember watching this movie for the first time in 2013 and since then I've been RDJ's diehard fan and once again thanks Emme for this video , Its kinda nostalgic for me.
12:53 Yinsen is a doctor, and by his own beliefs, does not wish to harm or kill anyone, even if they're terrorists. That's why he's just scaring them away
I don't know if anyone's said already, but that's Samuel L. Jackson in the post credit scene, playing Nick Fury. He plays Mace Windu in Star Wars (leads the Jedi Council with Yoda).
Hey there Emme. Hi. Enjoyed the reaction vid. Glad to see you're starting on the Marvel Cinematic journey. You'll love it, I'm sure. Just to clarify, Tony's helpful robot is indeed named DUM-E. You may see it through all the Iron Man movies. I also like how you're aware to sticking around for the post, and end credit scenes that follow each movie. 😁
my first true step into the marvel universe and i am SO IMPRESSED! i loved watching iron man and i cannot wait to continue in the MCU! thanks friends for watching!
I think you'll really like Tony's character arc and journey in the MCU. Robert is amazing.
no worries I'm sure nobody will judge you...
You have to pay close attention to all the details in marvel movies

I was just about to comment this. Glad someone pointed it out. 👌🏻
aw wait that's amazing!
Also Fun Fact: RDJ was an animal in the '90s, literally waking up in bushes. His agent had to catch him with a butterfly net.
I've always liked the little touch at the press conference, where after his reveal, everyone stands up shouting, except the one woman who didn't believe his "official" story.
My head-canon is whenever Tony meets Yinson again in the afterlife, the first thing he tells him is he didn't waste it.
The story of the first Iron Man suit is pretty much as it was originally, down to Yinsen's fate. It's merely been updated from Vietnam War era (around when Iron Man made his first comic appearance) to the Gulf War era. And Yinsen isn't a killer and doesn't want to be. He's buying time, but he doesn't want to take life. Yinsen: the first big hero in the Iron Man story.
Also, Burger King is awesome. If I've just made it out of a near death experience nobody better come at me with McDonald's cos there'll be hell to pay. And while 5 guys is good, I don't want a burger that is that messy when I've only got one fully functional arm and I'm wearing a suit.
And the brilliance begins. 😀 Only, what? 20 or so more to go? 😀 Looking forward to seeing more reactions from you.
"I am Iron Man". The phrase that sparked an incredible universe that I grew up in. I'm so thankful that I grew up during this and was able to experience these in the theaters.
For me, that incredible universe ended with that phrase as well.

3. Keep an eye out for Stan Lee cameos.
4. Enjoy the wild ride ahead.
What he said ?
I watched the films by the order of the timeline so Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, etc. I personally Enjoyed it watching it like that but that's just me.
@@TheHomieMC1 You do you, but Release Order matters more since you have credits scenes that spoil a lot.
@@blackpowderuser373 Yeah now that you mention it, you're 100% right. I remember watching the Captain Marvel end credit scene and being super confused lol, later on, I figured out it correlated to Infinity War.
Yep, there is no reason to watch MCU movies in anything but Release Order unless you have already seen them all. Even then I never found that Chronological added anything at all the the viewing experience.
This is where the fun begins 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun trivia, the scientist getting yelled at by Obadiah who says "I'm not Tony Stark" is played by Peter Billingsley, best known for his role as Ralphie in A Christmas Story.
That is such a fun piece of trivia that it still blows my mind. hahahaha
Tony’s motto in life: “solving the problem that was created because of us.”
Modern tanks typically require one person to drive, another to operate the cannon, and still a third person to load. Maybe Pepper could have crawled around inside the tank to the different stations to do all three jobs at once, but it would not have been very easy.
I love the comics & the MCU is so much more clever than most people give it credit for. They give original stories with classic characters, they get the characters right (mostly lol), but they also add many nods back to the comics. So even if you are a true comic fan you never 100% know what to expect. Just one example, in the comics Iron Mans identity wasn't known, but he was always showing up, the cover story, so Tony could keep his identity secret, was that Iron Man was Tony's bodyguard. These sorts of things, references, nods, twists run through the MCU, welcome to the MCU marathon lol
One thing I liked was that the evolution of the suit mirrored the comics.
The Mk I suit (the one he built in the cave) is the precursor to the Iron Monger suit that Obi builds. The Mk II flight suit is destined to be the War Machine armor (hinted at when Rhodey looks at it and says "Next time, baby"). The Mk III suit up sequence in this film is likely the BEST in all of cinema, it's so badass, gives the suit a real presence and how it's not just some cheap little gimmick armor or something, it's ARMOR.
The Ten Rings leader you described as super, super in charge is played by Faran Tahir, who also played a starship captain in Star Trek(2009).
I remember seeing this one in theaters back in the day... it was amazing then, and it still holds up. And yeah, we had no idea what was in store for us. And that whole "I am Iron Man" and its echo throughout the series... it is just amazing.
Yay! I love watching newbies enter the MCU for the first time. Loads of entertaining content. "Welcome to the Circus."
Without this movie we wouldn't have the MCU that we have today because Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for the role as Tony Stark aka The Invincible Ironman and he does have the look of the character from the comics while looking badass in the armor, Awesome reaction Emme.
If Tom Cruise got the role you wouldn’t be saying this
I feel like a lot of people in the comments were probably too young to recall this but since I'm like a million years old I thought I'd mention that the guy from the financial show that yells at the camera and talks about the new "Stark Industries business plan!" at about 18:30 into the video, that's not an actor. There's an actual show called 'Mad Money' on MSNBC. The guy talks about finance and stock trading and his schtick was shouting into the camera and he had a sound board that he could hit a button and all sorts of loud noises would be played. Presumably it was to keep people occupied who cared about stock but found it too boring. It still airs but since it's now been on the air for 18 years they have long since dropped the yelling as it's kind of tough to keep that up for almost 2 decades. Jon Stewart shamed the hell out of the guy too so his ego might have taken a hit which could have cause him to not be as loud with his forecasts. He shouted that people would be stupid to take money from Bear Stearns right before the 2008 financial crash and people lost a lot of money because of what he said. Somehow he still has a job so make of that what you will.
I love it when someone new discovers the awesome Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Yes!!! You’re gonna love it!!! Please upload as fast as possible! I love watching people’s reactions to the MCU movies!
I never read the story but in the early eighties there was the whole Demon in a Bottle story line in the comics where Tony Stark was dealing with his alcoholism. The first issue of that storyline we see stark looking at his reflection, in the mirror, without his helmet but wearing his armor, looking like absolute hell with a bottle of liquor sitting visibly in front of him
I loved this reaction. The attention to detail , the humor..., just for remembering the LG Chocolate phone deserves a like.
5:30 so it wasn't right right after. It wasn't the same missles he fired in the presentation. Just some of his own stuff that was "stolen" from him. But completely different missiles. Because I think the truck scene where he was with the military was actually supposed to be like hours after the weapons presentation. :)
Emme, I’ve been loving all of your reactions and am so excited for you to be starting the MCU. As many other commenters have noted Deadpool is not officially in the MCU despite now being owned by Disney but Spider-Man is part of the MCU although those movies are not on Disney+. Since I assume you’re watching these on D+ you’ll need to find another way to watch the Spider-Man movies and there are plenty of lists to tell you where they fit in release order. Can’t wait for your reactions!
all the spidermans are now on disney+ :D
@@aspenture1087 I just checked, they aren't on my D+.
@@jabecker21 thats weird. They’ve all been on mine now. Maybe it’s only in some countries for some unknown reason? Unless they removed them again.
@@aspenture1087 I'm in the US.
@@jabecker21 australia.
13:02 "why are they running from him?"
Because he has a gun, and sometimes movies don't write scenes with video game logic. As far as they know he's already aiming to kill them around the corner and it's easier to retreat than walking around a cave wall to a wall of bullets. They don't know Yinsen isn't the murdery type.
Trivia...the suit up sequence when Tony gets armored up for his intervention at Gulmira was licensed, move for move, from Blizzard Games who used it in a very populat teaser trailer for Starcraft 2. The same armor-up sequence has not, so dar as I recall, ever been used twice. Its different each time we see it on camera.
Is there a source for that?
"I don't know why they ran from him to begin with" Well you see most people don't run directly at a man who is screaming and shooting an assault rifle wildly.
Let's go, I always love seeing people jump into these movies from the beginning!
Superhero movies did used to generally stink, but Iron Man caught everyone off guard. It was like a lightbulb went off in movie exec's heads that it was possible to make them well.
Obadiah appears in this movie as just a generic weapons dealing greedy rich guy but captain America and winter soldier adds some really interesting potential context
Nick Fury is played by Samuel L Jackson who also played Mace windo
Imagine watching the MCU, clone wars and arcane for the 1st time again. Good shows
Don Cheadle’s rhoades grew on me over time, but Terrance Howard was literally perfect in the role. I swear, in iron man 2, I actually thought rhoades didn’t like Tony at all 😂
Fun fact for Obadiah Stane, his super villain name is Iron Monger.
if i remember or is a mistake, the story about eat burger it was not original in the iron man they add it for addition to the story.
Robert Downey Jr.'s [ actor for tony ] his habits for stop his addiction. The actor often brings his own food to set and hides it so he can eat during different scenes. so they made Tony Stark's have a craving for cheeseburgers.
Oh this is going to be so much fun, I’m here for your journey. I haven’t seen the first Iron Man in years, forgot just how good it was. Pretty much set the tone for all of phase 1, can’t wait for the next reaction. 😄
I love the fact that they went right into the Black Sabbath (Ozzy) song "I Am Iron Man" right at the end of the movie.
Well the Marvel movies were the first superhero movies that were entertaining to watch!
The arc reactor is like a feat in human engineering you really don’t understand how powerful it is he has enough energy in that tiny arc reactor in his chest to power a city and the reason it’s so ground breaking is it’s an impossible build it’s a self sustaining clean energy source meaning most machines use energy to operate and this one uses its own energy and doesn’t lose energetic over time actually makes more and more the only thing keeping it from killing Jim’s is that it has a constant drain because it’s also an electromagnet keeping the shrapnel from entering his heart and killing him
It’s extremely overkill to make that his power source keeping him alive it’s like connecting a nuclear bomb to home security system
Basically, Iron Man is Batman but better
I’m so excited for your MCU journey Emme!!
Congratulations Emme on your first step. I really enjoyed your Moon Knight reactions; great observations and insights. I suspect you're really going to enjoy this journey. 3 things I'm sure other have mentioned: 1) watch in release order, 2) watch for Stan lee cameo; 3) watch the mid and aftercredits scenes.
Well you went and done it! Now I get to relive this experience with another reaction channel! Yay! Have fun!
Every Time emme makes smart house reference👏💯
Cant stop watching your videos, 05:46 am...
Really should get some sleep lol
Also, happy new years everyone!
Emme, I'm glad we're both on the same page about the use of Burger King 😂
If I had been in the desert for a long while and I eventually came back home, Burger King would be the last thing I'd want for my first meal since.
Great reaction, Emme!
I literally just found your channel today and watched all of your Moon Knight reactions, which were also great. I can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the MCU. You've got a lot of great films and surprises ahead in this series.
It always hits me how the entire MCU ends before it begins if not for Yinsen. His saving Tony's life set everything else in motion and, of course, that's important 20+ films from now.
Fury, Phil, Thor, Carol, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, T'chala, Peter, Drax, Rocket, Nebula, Gamora, Mantis, all the Eternals, Hank, Janet, Bill, Isiah, Sam, Bucky, and Steve already happened before this. The MCU would be different without Yinsen, but it wouldn't end.
@DragonbIaze052 what? Iron man was the first mcu movie lmao
@@LimitlessEntertainment826 First movie, but not even close to the first hero. Tony in no way "set everything in motion". I just listed 31 heroes who in no way were set in motion by Iron Man.
@DragonbIaze052 Iron man was the first mcu movie and was extremely successful. So yes it set the mcu in motion. Idk what your talking about, if it's comics or time line wise.
@@LimitlessEntertainment826 Maybe you aren't reading the first post. "It always hits me how the entire MCU ends before it begins if not for Yinsen. His saving Tony's life set everything else in motion"
In-universe, Tony Stark barely set anything in motion. His only net contributions are negative since almost every villain he defeats is one he helped create, and hundreds of people were hurt by those villains.
I commend the fact you've hardly been in the MCU for this long but fun fact when Obadiah said we're iron mongers, that was his supervillain name in the comics the Iron Monger, hope you enjoy the MCU on your journey 👍👍👍
YT just recommended your videos and it's been long ago enough, I'm enjoying rewatching Marvel with you and how your comments can be equally thoughtful or super snarky! 😁
You may have already answered your question why Pepper wouldn't use the tank: she is not trained in it and a tank operates very different from other vehicles. Driving it would be a problem on its own and to use the gun, you would need another person (tank crews usually consist of 4-5 people, all with very specific roles - see "Fury" for example. But you definitely need a driver and a gunner). At best it would be a somewhat safe hiding spot, but there is no guarantee that Obidiah's suit wouldn't be able to destroy it (it's got missiles and stuff).
thanks for your comment! i obviously don't know anything about tanks and tons of people have said that she can't use it by herself but have not explained why, and your description was super detailed so thank you! i had no idea that it would require both a driver and a gunner i was really thinking she could just run in there and use the gun LOL
Also given that it's outside the Stark Industries building (arms manufacturer), I always assumed it was a display piece only at that point (with most of the onboard systems disabled/removed).
@@bwiedor Good point. The military wouldn't let Tony have a fully functional tank.
First time viewer. Subscribed.
Love your vibe and clean slate life experience with movies. I've always wanted a friend like that, that I could show the world of movies to! Lol. Reactions are as close as I get 😂.
Keep up the fantastic work 🤩
13:50 No, the bullet ricocheted off the suit, bouncing back and hitting the shooter.
The moment I've been waiting for.. I saw this in my notifications and I literally screamed
"When I used 'MySpace' when I was too young to be on 'MySpace.'" Well, THAT made my heart stop. Biggest jump scare of the day for me. Glad you're O.K..
Nick Fury in the Original comics was white originally but in the 2000's in an issue of Spider-Man the artists based their interpretation of Nick Fury on Samuel L Jackson from his character from the movie Shaft, (It is also to be noted that this Nick Fury was from another Timeline in the comics so they made the change to reflect things are a lil different.) Staying after the credits became the norm with these films Before the Odd film would have an after credit but not often. I used to manage a Movie Theater when this was out and the staff we would put on a film a few days before it came out and watch em after the site was closed (Staff Previews) We saw the film and walked out not watching the after credit as we were in the car park chilling and smoking at 4am in the morning after the film, the Projectionist walks over to say goodbye before going to his car and says there is an end credit scene and that Larence Fishburn shows up with an eye patch at the end. Myself and a friend were like SHIT eye patch Nick Fury is IN THE MOVIE and then discussed how it would have been better if it was Samuel L Jackson because of the comics. The Next day we watched the film again on opening night and Cheered hard that it was actually Samuel L and that the projectionist was mistaken.
Tony Stark
Genius - Playboy - Billionaire - Philanthropist
The coolest character of the MCU
You did your brother dirty😭
Hahaha! 25:15 "Tony Stark should know that he looks like my brother..." Best comment. Funny reaction. Welcome to the MCU - It is an amazing ride!
He does have character growth its over the whole MCU
Love the vids, super genuine and great editing😩👌🏼
I feel incredibly old whenever seeing these.Then again, kinda hopeful.New folk, new values.Also, I'm mid 30s :D
This is just the start of one of the best character redemption story arcs in movie history. Enjoy the ride, and remember the cheeseburgers.
Btw, you were right in two ways at the end. Tony didn't stick to the script because ROBERT DOWNEY didn't stick to the script. He thought
it would be cool to just say "I AM Iron Man." and it worked so perfectly, Jon Favreau kept it in. Nobody knew how important this improv'd
line would be later on...
I honestly can't stomach this many insults directed at Tony Stark in a row.
I could still remember watching this movie for the first time in 2013 and since then I've been RDJ's diehard fan and once again thanks Emme for this video , Its kinda nostalgic for me.
One small step to a very big journey. I think you're going to have a blast with a lot of these films. My personal favorite Avenger is Captain America.
12:53 Yinsen is a doctor, and by his own beliefs, does not wish to harm or kill anyone, even if they're terrorists. That's why he's just scaring them away
I don't know if anyone's said already, but that's Samuel L. Jackson in the post credit scene, playing Nick Fury. He plays Mace Windu in Star Wars (leads the Jedi Council with Yoda).
“I wonder what happened to Tony’s father”.
Stay tuned and you’ll find out in 20 movies 😂
Hey there Emme. Hi. Enjoyed the reaction vid. Glad to see you're starting on the Marvel Cinematic journey. You'll love it, I'm sure.
Just to clarify, Tony's helpful robot is indeed named DUM-E. You may see it through all the Iron Man movies. I also like how you're aware to sticking around for the post, and end credit scenes that follow each movie. 😁
Amazing!! Your channel is going to skyrocket! I am glad I will be an early subscriber.
Now the first MCU Movie is The incredible Hulk O3O
Great reaction! Also, I love the BEAGLE. I watched this with my beagle, Lucy.
Iron Man sidekick is call War Machine, in the comics. Hello 👋🏻 .
Moving forward in the MCU, it's customary to have a mid-credits scene as well as an post-credits scene.
First rule of being a superhero. You can't be a hero without losing a mentor
