Iron Man Commentary Podcast

[@shoshawty2]

This is a fascinating listen in 2022

[@blazingstar25]

I think the mechanical arms that put on Tony's suit were originally for helping Tony put together cars, since at the beginning it shows working on cars is one of Tony's hobbies.

[@moviereviews4life]

I think the reason Rhoades doesn't use the suit is because offscreen Tony tells him he needs one of those arc reactors, he has one and now Obadiah has one, but the 3rd suit you can tell is hollow.

[@moviereviews4life]

I'm listening to this now, I just saw Part 3 and I figured I'd finally get round to this

[@goodfellas1001]

I was making a point on your Iron Man 2 review that improv can work better than staged dialogue and if there was no script for this than I was right. The joke about "No gang signs" to the peace sign pays off... in a subtle way. When the choppers see Tony roaming the desert after his escape he waves his hands in the air to get their attention then when they get out he waves the peace sign symbolizing his character arc and the respect for the soldier that saved him.

[@SolarDragon007]

I really like that scene with the terrorists attacking the village. It gives the film a realism in that it shows that actions have consequences. Those innocent people are being brutalized and murdered by the weapons that Tony Stark let fall into the wrong hands. It makes the whole thing feel very personal and raw for Tony. Plus it really gets you roiled up to see Iron Man kick all their asses.

[@BigJwlz]

In response to the 'Why did he survive?' question at the movie climax. To be fair they both survived. In a deleted portion from this scene, Obediah asks for help from Tony after the reactor overload shorts out the Iron Monger suit. Tony reluctantly decides to reach out to help him, but the floor gives way and that's when Stane falls to his death.

[@Farmeryeti]

I always thought that the overload of arc reactor energy is what pushes Tony's blood toxicity levels too far and starts killing him

[@blackmegaman]

Do you guys plan on commentating on any of the DC or Marvel Animated movies ?

[@MrMike2139]

Can anyone tell me where the commentary with Jon is on this film because I have the 2 disk on blu ray with all the features but no commentary. I know there is one because I heard Eric said he watched it so can anyone tell me which edition has the commentary

[@TheComixkid2099]

This question may not be entirely legal, but does anyone know how to procur the Iron Man scripts that Eric spoke of? I know he said he could not find one of them, but does anyone know if the other is still online? I really love to read scripts for movies that didn't happen or were heavily altered...if anyone knows, please be a pal?

[@moviereviews4life]

Eric, I'm surprised you never mentioned that Joss Whedon was approached to write and direct this film as well, but turned it down. I would love to record a commentary with you guys

[@shoshawty2]

When do we get a Hulk commentary?

[@justinmitchell2577]

Would it be safe to incinerate the Arc Reactor? It doesn't seem like it would be safe.

[@batfan5172]

when do you plan on doing the ironman3 commentary?cause I will definitely be watching that.while watching the movie

[@dvid22]

what music does bruce banner listen too and the hulk listen too?

[@TheAncientdragon1]

I've always enjoyed your videos, Cap, and about the thing you said about, Tony showing to Pepper, is um, he's more "human" That gave me a great idea for a Novel, I am writing, and that actually does work, for what I'm doing! Anyways, great review of the first MCU film. I look forward to your other videos. Oh, and I think a Kick-Ass Review would be awesome! I remember seeing Iron Man the first time in Theaters.

[@BudandBuddy12]

There is a deleted scene where Stan Lee comes up to Tony and explains that he is not Heff and gets mistaken for him a lot.

[@gregbyrne6895]

The first time I saw this film was in class on the last day of school.

[@wallywest2038]

The reason Rhodey didnt hop into the suit is cuz there wasnt a damn arc reactor in it

[@TheGeekKnight4]

You might want to change your profile image, WALLY. I just thought you should know.

[@wallywest2038]

***** There is no inconsistencies here, JLU was Wally, the pic is Wally.

[@TheGeekKnight4]

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear with what I was trying to say. The Flash is letting EVERYONE on the internet know his secret identity :)

[@TheVacuuminator]

"We have dan for siper-man, shades for x-men, and eric for iron man." Don't forget duke for green lantern! :P

[@goodfellas1001]

Also a small tidbit I noticed with this viewing is that when Stark is joking to Rhodey about him trying to get with a girl and said "What was his name, Ivan?"

[@MalzraAirwynn]

Bats makes it clear his plan was to crash the train. He didn't send Gordon as a back up plan, it was his only plan. He even says to Ras "Who said anything about stopping it?" (the train). He might not have killed Joker, but he DID kill Harvey Dent, you can't argue past that one, and he DID kill Talia by crashing her truck even if it wasn't his intent. Not to mention the fake Ras died because of the fire HE started.

[@johnnyfive222]

Hey Cap I was wondering if you were ever planning on doing a Comic vault version of X-men Astonishing by Joss Whedon? I just read it on my nook and it is one of my favorite comics now or in my top ten.

[@Just-Eric]

I might have been refering to the Iron Man 2 commentary.

[@opszanski]

You guys should do commentary on The Avengers and TDKR next.

[@MrBANE1992]

they call Rhodey War Machine in 3 a few times as a running gag

[@johnnyfive222]

Another one already? Wow? That was fast

[@GregHizhaus]

Are you guys ever going to do a star wars commentary?

[@namreg944]

Browncoat eric? just caught that, would that happen to be a reference to Firefly? i recently watched the series and the movie and it was awesome, speaking of which, ever plan to review Firefly and Serenity?

[@LooneyTunesFanatic27]

I really liked the opening credits in the Spider-Man movies

[@goodfellas1001]

I'm very confused. How can RDJ be the perfect choice for Tony Stark if they would have to change the comic book character to be more like the movie character?

[@goodfellas1001]

It's interesting that you bring up a complaint about killing in this movie and then explain why your own complaint is wrong.

[@astrostar49]

I'm hoping a second viewing with help me with the film as well. Although that is because I already know what is coming in regards to that certain plot point you're talking about. I'm not sure I'll ever get over that.

[@Leafman716]

Ed Brubaker defines Cap for me! Love his Bucky!

[@Redgohan147]

Would be funny if you brought all your guest commentators for that one film. lol

[@TheVacuuminator]

Thanks to this podcast i really wanna see a video of cap drunk. XD

[@MercerCreate]

CL can you ask Browncoat Eric if and when he will do a commentary for TDKR? Based on his review of that film, it would be interesting

[@moviereviews4life]

the train was out of control because of Ra's, Gordon tried to stop it, but he was only able to stop it from causing the deaths of the whole city. I'm not saying Batman in the comics never killed, in the early years he shot people with a gun and said to people that if they die they deserve it, but in the films he never killed anyone, just let them die. Look at the Joker he didn't kill him or let him die, he did't kill Bane either when he could have

[@docleo2001]

X-men began in a concentration camp. I think that trumps this beginning surprise wise.

[@goodfellas1001]

The ending, Staine turning into "full bad guy" and knowing how to use the suit.... well you didn't complain about Tony Stark knowing how to use the costume when he made it in the cave which Staine knew how to use it just about as well as Stark did at the very beginning.Also if your complaint is that the fight took place in the street, well it escalated into the street... like a bar fight. I doubt those people want the cops to arrest them in the street.

[@MalzraAirwynn]

I disagree. That train specifically crashed because Batman, before even going after Ras, had Gordon shoot out the support. It was Batman's plan for the train to crash, and he deliberately left Ras on it. That's like locking someone in a house, setting it on fire and saying you didn't 'kill' them you just left them to die. Batman was directly responsible for Ras' death.

[@Geekvolution]

We'll probably knock out all the other Marvel films first, even though we've done these out of order. Not sure who's going to be involved with that one yet.

[@Just-Eric]

The Spawn expert.

[@johnnyfive222]

I didn't mind the sherlock holmes action scenes I liked them.

[@kdragonballz]

This was posted on my birthday cool

[@astrostar49]

Tony Stark escaping and landing and not dying in that desert after crashing still bothers me to this day in the first movie. Even for this film, I think it's bending it. He would have been toast.

[@daniellovesgabeebingspider7589]

one of the best marvel movies ever

[@MalzraAirwynn]

I wouldn't use Nolan's batman as an example of not killing. He kills in all 3 movies. The league of shadows by setting the place on fire, Ras by setting up the train crash and leaving him with no escape. Havey Dent by tackling him off a building and breaking his neck in the fall. Talia by crashing her truck. The guy doesn't have a clean record.

[@Leafman716]

Cap, this is how they make Tony's arc reactor for the movie.KZbin doesn't allow me to post a link. Google this: Behind the Scenes: Creating Tony Stark's Arc Reactor - Cheezburger

[@goodfellas1001]

I think maybe you guys take things out of context sometimes. The scene where Pepper says "What's that?" when Stark tells her it's like Operation I took as her of course knowing what Operation is. It was her confused on why he would make light out of her sticking her hand down his open chest hole.

[@astrostar49]

I didn't spoil anything in the film. What did I spoil? If someone said they enjoyed the film, would you feel that movie was spoiled? All I did was convey a notion. I didn't speak of any details. Regardless since it's bothering you I'll have it removed.

[@MrBANE1992]

Iron Man 3 came out in the uk Last week i saw it 3 times in it's first 2 days, I hated it the first time i saw it but i saw it later that day coz i friend wanted to see it and i had the money to see it again, and the second time i really liked it, 3rd time i loved it (but there is still one plot point that killed the movie for me the first time around, i'm ok with it now because there was a good story based reason behind it but i still wish they went a different way)

[@daniellovesgabeebingspider7589]

the first iron man is the best iron man

[@MrBANE1992]

i know what you mean but still he never killed anyone unless it was the last option and if he chose to not break that one rule and let James Gordon Jr die or Gotham blow up or let Ra's live so that he can try destroying Gotham then he wouldn't be a hero. Dent's death is brought up in Rises were he's wanted for Murder. Talia hates him for letting Ra's die in fact when she says he murdered Ra's he doesn't deny it, as for not addressing Talia's death well there was only 20 minutes runtime left

[@MalzraAirwynn]

Never said he killed Harvey on purpose. But he DID kill Harvey. I'm not saying Batman made the wrong choice in killing these people, but the fact is he DID kill them and it's never brought up, and he clings to his 'one rule' of not killing in all three movies but conveniently ignores it when convenient for the script. Oh, he has to stop the Joker without killing. Fine. But then it undercuts the whole theme when he has to kill harvey, even on accident, to stop him. Intent to kill or not, he kills

[@MalzraAirwynn]

And that's not even touching on the fact that he KILLED Harvey Dent by tackling him to the ground and breaking his neck int he process. No 'just not saving him' loophole there. And he caused the crash that killed Talia in TDKR.

[@MalzraAirwynn]

And finally before I head back to work, I know Dent had a gun to a child's head. I know he had to stop Talia before the nuke went off. But when he directly causes somebody's death and it's just glossed over and never brought up, it's very distracting when his 'one rule' of not killing is supposedly a cornerstone of the character. I'm not saying bats should have acted differently in those situations. But he did kill those people, even if it wasn't with a gun or neccisarily his intent.

[@MrBANE1992]

Talia I can understand he was trying to stop her nuking a city, he set the league of shadows HQ on fire yes but they were Trained ninjas I'm sure he thought they could escape,fake Ra's died from collapsing rumple from the fire but if he wasn't trying to kill Bruce he would have lived,I doubt he meant to kill Harvey he was trying to save a kid he reacted in instinct and tackled him, as for Ra's well he save him once and he repaid him by trying to destroy his city to do it again would be stupid

[@jugulator95]

he will probably wai

[@joshw0071]

Three down, Three to go.

[@MalzraAirwynn]

pt 2. By arranging for the train to crash, and leaving no way out for Ras, Batman killed him. If a burglar broke into a house, and someone locked the burglar inside the house and set it on fire, leaving no way out, that man KILLED the burglar. Same scenario here, Batman is the cause of the train crash, his plan was to stop it from the beginning, and by causing the crash and leaving Ras with no way out, he is responsible for his death. And again, Harven Dent, or did he snap his own neck?

[@moviereviews4life]

he didn't kill, killing requires him to actually physically end a persons life, all he did was not save them, completely different

[@namreg944]

Batman Begins starts in a prison, which i think that opening is better than Iron man

[@below61]

I would hardly say Iron Man is an icon. Superman has permeated our culture in ways that almost no fictional characters have. Iron Man is a movie star that when this Marvel continuity has ended, will soon be forgotten. Don't get me wrong, I really like his movies, but I don't agree with putting them on the same level as far as public perception goes.

[@randomMarvelDCguy]

Cap that "looking into things" that you do is only "annoyng" in as mutch as I'm not as good at it as you are, because the things you comme up with are realy interesting.

[@jugulator95]

he will probably wakt

[@goodfellas1001]

WHAT?!? You didn't know why Hulk hit Thor? For shame.

[@Geekvolution]

:)

[@deathtarget1337]

life model decoy eric thats how they cover up his dead body

[@jugulator95]

sorry my computer was messing up im trying to say he will probably wait to do it with Vince since he did begins with vince and nothing against eric I just don't think it would be an entertaining podcast to listen to him complain throughout the whole thing

[@johnnyfive222]

um please don't spoil Iron man 3. People in america haven't seen it yet and that is kind of rued saying stuff like that.

[@LooneyTunesFanatic27]

I never really got into the first Iron Man movie. It's good but it took 3 viewings for me to make it through. It's pretty boring and there are only a couple of memorable scenes and images. As entertainment it doesn't work for me. It did however succeed as introducing Iron Man properly to the general audience and making us care about him.

[@Geekvolution]
