“It’s the Matrix guy” 😂 Love it! Sam L. Jackson would HATE it though, he gets upset when people think he’s Laurence Fishburne.

[@UTU49]

Oh that's right! Samuel L. Jackson is NOT Laurence Fishburne! Just kidding.

[@hellomark1]

Saw this in the theatre when it came out, and "I am Iron Man" was such a nice twist from every other secret identity superhero movie... it still gives me goosebumps even seeing it now. But yeah, RDJ playing him as the "lovable jerk" is perfect, becoming a hero doesn't change him from that, he's like that one friend we all have that we're sometimes embarassed about

[@rlrenthlei5890]

Ah..yeah...I have one too...she's sitting right next to me..🤗🤭

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

What I liked most about this movie is that they used the original origin story but just changed the time. When the comic first came out it was during the Vietnam War. Tony was captured by the North Vietnamese and with the help of a fellow prisoner (who voluntarily died giving Tony the distraction he needed for his escape) he built the first very clunky Iron Man suit that looked very much like the one in the beginning of the movie. Just from that first scene, and the story of Yinsen as he's dying, I knew I was going to like what they were doing with this movie.

[@max_2da_max336]

The fact that this came out in '08, in peak US-in-Iraq-and-Afghanistan as not only a modernization of the original story but also emphasizing the wartime profiteering/ capitalism as the ultimate baddie really sets it apart. I don't think there was nearly as much (any) of that double-dealing that we saw with Obadiah in Vietnam (although I might be mistaken), so to really emphasize that the warmongers in charge of arms dealing were unquestionably the bad guys made a truly impactful statement that set the stage for what the MCU could be and do.

[@WJS774]

@@max_2da_max336 Err, what? Do you think that Raytheon was selling missiles to the Taliban under the table or something? I don't remember ever hearing anything like that.

[@max_2da_max336]

@@WJS774 Raytheon didn't have to. The United States invaded sovereign nations with no involvement in 9/11 at the behest of warmongers affiliated with Raytheon, Halliburton, and beyond. Those companies then profited tremendously at the expense of innocent lives. The villainy was less so selling arms to terrorists and more so the furtherance of endless warmongering/ further loss of innocent life.

I love seeing people get into Marvel for the first time. This whole movie just gives me full body chills. RDJ is honestly a legend, some would say he and Iron Man became interchangeable. This movie started a cult fandom, probably one of the biggest fan bases in the entire world. Can’t wait for you to get further into it.

The MCU is a wonder. Literally one or two "shaky" movies in the whole bunch. Tons of laughs, loads of incredible action scenes, but also genuine tears, real love stories, and an occasional talking duck. Can't wait to see your reactions going forward. This one was so much fun.

The funny thing to me at least is, while there are some movies that are kind of lesser than others, none are really "bad". I think all are at least worth a watch. Like I wouldn't say any are absolutely bad or unwatchable. Some are like average, because the bar was set so high from movie 1 in Iron Man.

Right at the start, when the convoy is ambushed, you notice that Tony asks the soldiers "Wait! Give me a gun!"? He doesn't want to just cower in the truck while other men risk their lives to protect him, and in a deleted scene he does find a gun and joins the fight. Because of course he knows how to handle a rifle, he's a weapons guy. Tony Stark was a hero before he became Iron Man.

[@mike_aka_tinman]

[@shotarohidari7417]

The burger king thing was actually Robert Downey's idea. before landing the role as Tony/Iron Man you could say his hollywood star had faded. In an out of jail and rehab, etc. One night down on his luck he found himself in Burger King and had what he called "The worst burger he ever had" and somehow from that point on he, with his wife's support, turned his life and his career around.

[@smith22041]

I heard it wasn't "burger king's burgers are just that bad", but more he couldn't enjoy his favorite burger anymore.

[@waltermallard5565]

Burger King didn't pay anything for the product placement, it was at Robert Downey Jr's request that BK got that cameo, as he credits Burger King with saving his life. It was while eating a Burger King burger when he realized that even something as simple as eating a burger could no longer give him joy, and that he needed help to get clean, before it was too late.

[@theoneandonlyoni]

Loved the reaction! You’re in for a huge treat!! I’ve loved comics my whole life and now I get to see my favorite characters in the big screen. You’re gonna laugh, cry, be wildly surprised, and it only gets better from here! Welcome to the Marvel Universe True Believer!!! Make sure to look for a Stan Lee cameo in each movie! *Stan Lee is the main creator of Marvel Comics.

[@moquips]

Just a heads up, one of the original comic book writers by the name of Stan Lee appears in every one of the MCU movies. In this movie he is the old guy on the red carpet that Tony says hi too as he walks inside. People will expect you to notice him every time, and some people get kinda pissed if you don't... You have been warned lol.

[@NoHandleGrr]

And it's a crime since Lee was little more than a thief of the credit and money of the artists who largely created the characters and work. But few MCU fans know Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko and the many Marvel creators thanks to Lee's lies and the MCU's fans uninterested in facts but instead in corporate legend that justifies not retroactively paying their artists/creators.

[@chamathnadeeshan4008]

@@NoHandleGrr Well...u need to know why Stan Lee is called a legend by all comic book fans even among DC. And it's not about creating marvel or anything like that. He's the reason that comic books still exists today. He did lot to comic world than just writing comics.

[@NoHandleGrr]

​@@chamathnadeeshan4008: "He's the reason that comic books still exists today." That's utter nonsense. First, the guy who save Timely/Atlas/Marvel was Jack Kirby, not Stan Lee. Second, even if that company and Martin Goodman had vanished, DC's sales figure were largely vastly greater than Marvel's by far even against Marvel's biggest sellers. Marvel's sales were larger in aggregate at times, but less so when measured comic by comic. Thirdly, the only reason Marvel even survived the late Seventies, according to Jim Shooter, was Roy Thomas getting the STAR WARS license. (Getting the Conan license also helped; Marvel's biggest sellers tended to be material they licensed, rather than creating.) You can look all this up for yourself. I also recommend Sean Howe's MARVEL COMICS: THE INSIDE STORY and Abraham Riesman 's "True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee," among other good researched histories debunking Lee's legends and lies. Stan Lee's one great talent was promotion. He did very little actual creating if one looks at the facts and not his claims. zak-site.com/Great-American-Novel/comic_sales.html

[@mercurywoodrose]

this film is a perfect character study. as you may know, he does appear in further films. his character is so well developed that you can see the origins of all his later behaviors in this film. this film made people declare they were "TEAM STARK". oh yes release order. no ifs ands or buts. and every time you find one that feels off, just wait, the next will reingage you. just keep going. up until this very year, it hasnt let up. some of their best work was some of their more recent work. and thats saying a lot. the films play into each other. this is how the comics were written, as one long storyline over literally decades. the other comic book company, DC, didnt do that so much, and they didnt develop the fandom that marvel had.

The character development for all the main characters is incredible. Hulk, Ant-Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Winter Soldier, Black Panther, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Falcon, Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Vision, War Machine, and all the supporting characters makes for an enormous but well rounded universe.

I like how excited you get. Also, it's cute how some times you don't enunciate letters.

[@HobGungan]

All I'll say is 1. Don't listen to naysayers 2. Release order is critical to how they build the world. It looks like you already missed Incredible Hulk, but it's not too late to go back 3. Always stay until the end of the credits 4. Look for Silver Age writer and co-creator of many of the characters Stan Lee as a cameo in each film until his passing in the late 2010s (in this film, he's mistaken by Tony for Playboy founder Hugh Hefner) 5. While they aren't technically part of the MCU, some later entries expect you to be somewhat familiar with the Spider-Man films by Sam Raimi, the Amazing Spider-Man films by Marc Webb, the X-Men series from 20th Century Fox, and at least the first season of the Netflix show Daredevil (now on Disney+), so checking those out at some point when you have the time is useful 6. It seems daunting after so many years and so many entries, but if you pace yourself you're in for a hell of a ride.

[@Ben_Kimber]

Interesting note about his first meal after getting back being Burger King. That was for a reason that was personal to Robert Downey Junior. Now, what I’m about to say next is completely relying on my memory, so some elements may or may not be accurate. If I remember correctly, he used to have quite the drug problem. At some point, while high on who knows what, he went and got a burger from Burger King. In his drug addled state, that burger tasted so horrible to him that he immediately threw in into the sea, along with every drug in his car, and almost immediately started to turn his life around. Now, since I don’t know how accurate my memory of this story is, I encourage you to look it up for yourself. Anyway, that’s something to know about the MCU: Even some of the most minor details have some level of significance, and many things are referenced in later films.

[@chrisd7047]

The song you asked about at 4:05 is Institutionalized, by Suicidal Tendencies. They were a punk/metal band that came out in 1980. Some incarnation of them is still around, I believe.

[@chrisd7047]

For a little bit of perspective, director Jon Favreau, who also played limo driver Happy Hogan, knew he wanted Downey to play Tony Stark. The studio wasn't sold on Downey. Downey had had a substance abuse problem, and had previously been kind of unreliable. A brilliant actor but a big risk to base a potential franchise on. There were a couple of other actors that the studio thought might fit the role and be more stable, like Tom Cruise , Nicholas Cage, or Sam Rockwell. But Favreau insisted that Downey was the guy. Turned out Favreau was right. One thing that can be said about Marvel is that almost without exception, their casting has been spot on in every project.

ALWAYS watch these in theatrical release order, otherwise it won't make much sense.
