I've Never Seen All Of The MCU, Let's Start From The Beginning! 'IRON MAN' | REACTION

[@TheShadowGames88]

Honestly, getting to watch the MCU movies in 2024 without knowing what's going to happen is amazing. Enjoy the amazing journey, I'm jealous.

[@ethidian3444]

Disagree. The first Iron Man feels like it's going to ramp up from here but it ramps down and sideways. The reason people enjoy the MCU so much was the hype of going to the theater to see it with groups of people reacting to them. Watching them at home is just, boring. They lack the soul and cinematic power of other franchises like TDK Trilogy, LOTR trilogy, etc. to be as affective in other contexts.

And this was back when movies had to do well for sequels and stuff to get made. The entirety of the MCU exists because of this movie!

There are two schools of thought about these movies from comments below: #1: "Don't watch them in the order they came out watch them in timeline order!!" #2: "If you're going to watch the MCU movies, PLEASE watch them in RELEASE ORDER. You'll save yourself a ton of headaches, and not spoil future events and characters. Also, it's much less confusing this way. Look for Stan Lee cameo in every movie!!" I agree with #2 as it gives you the same experience as the moviegoers who usually had to wait a whole year for the next movie, and the opening credits often reference something that happened in the previous movie (spoilers).

The term you were looking for was Arc Reactor, Tony's proprietary energy generation system. The original was sufficient to power his first suit he made in the cave, but not refined enough to generate sufficient power for long term use of his more advanced armor he made afterwards.

[@dolyharianto]

I'm from the older generations out of USA who read the comic books, watched the cartoons and enjoyed the toys; and Iron Man was never in my radar. So when this movie came out of nowhere and elevated Iron Man to A-tier superhero, dropped easter eggs here and there (SHIELD, Nick Fury as Director of SHIELD, The Avenger Initiative), you wouldn't believe how giddy I was back then. 2008 to 2012 was practically the best years in movie terms for me because each MCU movie release would build up to the ultimate pinnacle of comic book movies, The Avengers! It sounds normal nowadays to have team-up movies, but back then the idiotic executives in Hollywood thought the audience wouldn't understand why Batman would show up in a Superman movie to fight the bad guys.

[@mikeaninger7388]

Hey, Stef! Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! "Iron Man" is the kick-off to a spectacular cinematic journey that altered the industry paradigm. The MCU is a series of 20+ interrelated films culminating in a huge 2-part movie event! The movies are all based on Marvel Comics characters who were co-created beginning in 1961 by editor/writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Unlike other comic universes, the Marvel Universe is set in our world with many of the principals residing in New York City. What is distinctive about the Marvel pantheon is that the characters all have feet of clay; they struggle to measure up to the burden of power. Stan, Jack and artist Don Heck introduced Iron Man in 1963 in the anthology title "Tales of Suspense" expressly modeling the character on Howard Hughes and deliberately going against the anti-establishment grain of the '60's by making him a capitalist arms dealer. Insulated by wealth and ego, the epiphany he experiences and the life-threatening wound he incurs as a result of his captivity made him vulnerable and relatable to a readership predisposed to mistrusting a quintessential captain of industry. Moreover, Tony, in the comics, is also humanized by being an inveterate alcoholic which is barely alluded to in the films. The trick worked and the dichotomy hooked readers. Reframing his captors from Vietnamese Communist guerrillas in the comics to Afghan Islamicist mujahideen, the first Iron Man film adapts Tony's origin and the "Iron Monger" story arc. Iron Man was a second tier Marvel character known famously for his extravagant wealth and his endless struggle with alcoholism. Jon Favreau was an indie writer/director with one mainstream comedy hit, "Elf", under his belt. Robert Downey, Jr. was a respected former Brat Packer whose bankable days were behind him and who was then known more for drug addiction, womanizing and a motor mouth. This film should not have worked. After an aborted attempt at a shared universe with the Hulk in 2003 directed by serious auteur Ang Lee, Marvel threw the dice with Tony Stark and improbably won! It was kismet. Very rarely does an actor so ideally match a role. Downey, Jr. was BORN to play Tony Stark. His arc in the MCU is one of the best character developments I've ever seen in cinema. Remember Yinsen's last words, "Don't waste your life.", because Stark never forgets them. The cast is excellent. To support RDJ, Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges was brought aboard as Obadiah Stane setting a precedent of enlisting top-tier talent for MCU films. Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Terrence Howard as Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Paul Bettany as disembodied JARVIS and director Jon Favreau himself as Harold 'Happy' Hogan round out the Stark stable. Shaun Toub is affecting as Stark's savior Yinsen and Faran Tahir exudes menace as Ten Rings terrorist Raza. Unflappable Clark Gregg introduces SHIELD as Agent Phil Coulson and Samuel L. Jackson makes his first appearance as Director Nick Fury. Leslie Bibb has a bit part as ambitious journalist Christine Everhart as does Tim Guinee as USAF Major Allen. Blink and you'll miss Nazanin Boniadi of "Homeland" and "The Rings of Power" as a television news correspondent reporting from Gulmira and veteran character actor Bill Smitrovich as a General attending Stark's Jericho demonstration. Former child actor Peter Billingsley from the holiday classic "A Christmas Story" plays the technician chewed out by Stane for being unable to miniaturize the arc reactor. TRIVIA: 1. As a tribute to Howard Hughes, who served as a template for both Howard and Tony Stark, production was based in the former Hughes Company soundstages in Playa Vista. Tony's garage/lab is the area where Hughes assembled the H-4 Hercules airplane aka 'The Spruce Goose'. 2. The original script was discarded right before production began so each day's scenes were improvisationally workshopped between the cast, director and producers just prior to shooting resulting in an indie sensibility which Jeff Bridges has affectionately referred to as "a $200 million student film!" EASTER EGGS: 1. The Ten Rings terrorist organization refers to the ten alien rings worn by Stark's traditional comic book nemesis, The Mandarin. 2. Raza, leader of the terror cell, is named after but bears no resemblance to a cyborg space pirate from the comics who is part of a crew of interstellar corsairs and X-Men allies known as the Starjammers. 3. JARVIS is an acronym for 'Just A Rather Very Intelligent System'! The namesake for Tony's operating system is the human butler who looked after him as a child and who serves the Avengers in the comics: Edwin Jarvis. Mr. Jarvis plays a significant role in the TV series "Agent Carter" portrayed by James D'Arcy. 4. If viewed chronologically, then these are the second appearances of Coulson and Fury in the saga. CAMEO: 1. Co-creator STAN LEE shows up in every Marvel movie for a Hitchcock-style CAMEO! In "Iron Man", he's the elderly gent in the smoking jacket with his arms around two nubile blondes who gets mistaken for Hugh Hefner by Tony on the red carpet! Lol. END-CREDIT SCENE: 1. Almost all Marvel movies have multiple bonus scenes during and after the credits. The "Iron Man" end-credit scene shows Nick Fury approach Tony Stark about the Avenger Initiative. The next chronological stop in the MCU is "Iron Man 2" and its companion One-Shot "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" found on DPlus. FIVE TIPS: 1. Watch the credits all the way through so you don't miss END-CREDIT SCENES! You nailed this one right off! 2. Point out Marvel Universe co-creator STAN LEE! Stan cameos in most Marvel movies like Hitchcock and it's fun to spot him! He was the dapper elderly gent mistaken for Hugh Hefner by Tony on the red carpet! 3. Include the ONE-SHOTS! There are five shorts called One-Shots associated with five of the movies in Phase 1. They are canonical and available on DPlus. The one paired with "Captain America: The First Avenger" is the Agent Carter One-Shot which can alternatively be seen as a coda to the first 8-episode Season of the "Agent Carter" series. 4. Take breaks to incorporate NON-MCU Marvel movies and series as they, too, get merged into the MCU narrative. These include 13 X-Men movies, 6 Spider-Man movies, 2 Venom movies, 1 Hulk movie and Netflix Daredevil. 5. If you know very little about the Hulk, I highly recommend seeing Ang Lee's 2003 "Hulk" as it covers the ORIGIN of the Hulk whereas the MCU film doesn't. The movie is NON-CANON pre-dating the MCU but it has a great cast, director, score and comic accurate sequences seen in no other MCU film in which the Hulk appears. It even ENDS where the MCU "Incredible Hulk" BEGINS!!! It was supposed to be the STARTING POINT for the MCU initially but it failed to gain traction at the box office because audiences were not accustomed to a serious approach to superhero films at the time. Ang Lee is an Oscar-winning director responsible for such films as "Eat Drink Man Woman", "Sense and Sensibility", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Ride with the Devil", "Brokeback Mountain", "Life of Pi" and "Gemini Man". RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE FOR PHASE 1: 0. (HULK (2003)) [OPTIONAL proto-MCU Hulk origin] 1. IRON MAN 2. IRON MAN 2 + A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer One-Shot 3. THE INCREDIBLE HULK + The Consultant One-Shot 4. THOR 5. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER + Agent Carter One-Shot 6. THE AVENGERS + Item 47 One-Shot 7. (Agent Carter: Season 1 + Agent Carter One-Shot) [OPTIONAL Interphase Interlude]

[@dharvell]

At the end of the video, I believe you're describing how Marvel movies handle suspension of disbelief. While horror movies and thrillers present a situation and expect you to just accept it for what it is, the Marvel universe is so thoroughly fleshed out that even the most ridiculous concepts are easy to digest and accept. As you go through the universe, you will be presented concepts that, at face value, would sound absolutely ludicrous. But the way Marvel handles these things, it is so easy to just say, "Yeah... this makes sense". Enjoy the ride!

[@Klaital1]

They even make a meta comment about that later on, with one of the villains whole plan based on that people will believe anything, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, as long as you present it well enough.

[@Canadianstoner21]

"Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid." Richard and Kahlan frowned even more. "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." "Because of Wizards First Rule, the old wizards created Confessors, and Seekers, as a means of helping find the truth, when the truth is important enough. Darken Rahl knows the Wizard's Rules. He is using the first one. People need an enemy to feel a sense of purpose. It's easy to lead people when they have a sense of purpose. Sense of purpose is more important by far than the truth. In fact, truth has no bearing in this. Darken Rahl is providing them with an enemy, other than himself, a sense of purpose. People are stupid; they want to believe, so they do." ~ Terry Goodkind

Also, as a huge fan of Edward Norton, hearing that HE is the majority reason the movie sucks (again, in my personal opinion) really pisses me off. I'm not really much of a Hulk fan tbh, but I thought that movie was far below Iron Man standards. I had no views about RDJ or Iron man before Iron Man. I had much love for Ed and no views on Hulk before The Incredible Hulk. Only good things to say about Iron Man, only bad things to say about The Incredible Hulk.

The initial premise of Stark's heart-gizmo was indeed to prevent shrapnel from moving toward his heart, but it really seems to me like they abandon that part way through, and adopt a "it's actually powering his circulatory system" idea, and ride with that until a few Iron Man movies later. Sadly inconsistent, but if you can get past it, the ride is definitely worthwhile.

I began this journey in about 1965. I remember seeing some of the comic books on the news stands and in department stores when I was out with my mom and I guess she would buy them for me occasionally I always had a particular love for Marvel a little bit more than Superman and Batman, I particularly loved the fantastic four Hulk and daredevil. I’m not even sure why I love those so much so watching them slowly come to life on the screen and then slowly becoming a fan again after years of setting aside childish things and just embracing the child within, it’s been such a joy to have so many Easter eggs in so many movies of little details And see actress like Robert Downey Jr. just go to town with these characters.

[@michaelwatson266]

Hi Stef 👋. I've seen SO many people react to the MCU movies that I might be burned out. BUT, you are too unique in your reactions to miss. I'm gonna watch 😋

[@DogmaBeoulve]

Stef is the sweetest thing.

8:17 if it makes it any easier, they didn’t actually stick the long hose up the actor’s nose. They did three shots: 1. A front view of the hose up his nose 2. A side view of him pulling the hose 3. A front view again, this time without the hose. The second shot was accomplished by attaching a small spool of hose to (the outside of) his nose, on the side away from the camera, pulling on the unwinding spool, then showing the front of his face again, letting you put two and two together.

Congrats on 100k subs!!

[@diggity1039]

Welcome to the MCU! You're gonna have a fun ride!

[@Linerunner99]

Yes, Coulson did have his own show. You should remember it since you were one of the stars of it. I'm kidding of course but you do remind me of Chloe Bennet from the show. lol

[@lady_draguliana784]

they never explicitly state it, but the unit in his chest _must_ have a pace-maker in it too, for him to have the immediate symptoms he shows throughout the series. when Obadiah takes it here, he's gets the sonic whammy too, but it's elsewhere too.

[@Irapa7]

Great Journey to start! Have fun!

[@Etticos.]

I’m stoked you’re doin the MCU films. This is gonna be fun.

[@pixelcharlie]

LETS GO!!!! I can't wait for you to get to Infinity War and End Game!

[@serinx]

they never really show one way or another, but I assume there is some kind of bullet resistant glass on the cave suit eye areas. Also, I assume, the mouth area slits on the cave suit are smaller than the smallest calibre bullet he thought they might shoot at him.

Great reaction! 😊 After watching your Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies I was hoping that you were going to dive into the MCU. This is one of my favorite Phase 1 MCU films. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow is great as Pepper Potts. Love Terrance Howard as Rhodey Rhodes. And Jeff Bridges is fantastic as bad guy Obadiah Stane. Yinsen is one of the best characters in this movie. It's always sad that we only see him in the beginning. But he does help Tony make his very first Iron Man suit. Fun Fact: Tony's "I am Iron Man" line at the end of the movie was improvised by Robert Downey Jr. Glad that you knew about the post-credit scene at the end of this(and every MCU)movie. And starting with "The Avengers" the movies will start having either one or two post-credit scenes. Up next in the MCU is: "The Incredible Hulk" from 2008 with Edward Norton. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

[@KevinLyda]

My dad read me the Lord of the Rings as a kid and helped explain it to me. And I've liked watching reaction channels for a similar reason - that folks spot things or feel things in ways i didn't. Someone in another Ironman reaction noted that the cheeseburger scene was personal to Robert Downey Jr. For sci-fi causing lots of feels, might check out Arrival.

[@Elementarian]

Love that you're now going on this journey. Speaking of horror, watch anything by Mike Flanagan, especially Haunting of Hill House, and you'll see horror with incredible depth and storytelling.

[@jenjerx]

Ahh the reaction taken me back, love the vibes ❤

[@nmt2k2]

I know this was from a few weeks ago, but I still hope you see my comment: An interesting piece of casting is that the scientist who said "I'm sorry I'm not Tony Stark" was played by Peter Billingsley, also known as Ralphie, who dreamed and schemes to get a Red Ryder BB gun in A Christmas Story.

[@DrekeXorn13]

Welcome to the MCU fandom! Some tips now that you're part of the family: -Not all credit scenes are at the very end of the credits themselves -Some movies have multiple credit scenes -Be sure to watch the other Marvel movies that are NOT part of the MCU like Tobey's and Andrew's Spider-Man movies, the XMen movies, and the Spiderverse movies. They all add to your understanding of Marvel overall and make the MCU more enjoyable, and the same people watching your MCU reactions will watch these as well

[@DrekeXorn13]

Oh and also, some context. In the late 90s Marvel actually started to go bankrupt, so to prevent it they sold the movie character rights of Spider-Man and his related characters to Sony and the Xmen/Mutants/Fantastic Four to 21st Century Fox. The contract says that they have to make movies about said characters every X number of years to hold onto these rights otherwise they will revert back to Marvel Studios, created in 2005 to make the MCU. This is why these other movie universes are NOT part of the MCU, which was thought up by Kevin Feige in 2005.

[@michaelhoward142]

¡Qué fabulosa! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu reacción! 🤗

[@tribaahl]

nice you begin this franchise ! I'm just afraid the more MCU movies you see, the more tear will drop, but you have time before it begins, without spoilers of course 😅

[@CrazeeAdam]

Yensen: "don't waste your life Stark, don't waste it" and you can bet he doesn't I hope you enjoy Robert's performance as Tony!!

[@DuggieFresh903]

Ready for this journey! Keep up the good work 💯💪

[@Grayjedi67]

“Theses movies are going to stress me out.” You have no idea.

[@MGower4465]

Can we just t as ke a second to appreciate Pepoer running all out in heels, through broken glass?

[@Anomondaris]

This is going to be fun❤ I think you need Captain America ASAP!

[@charleshartley9597]

Haven't seen this in ages, thanks Stef! I remember when I saw it the first time, so amazing. My first BluRay, lol! Thankfully we will always have the arc of these films to enjoy, ending with Endgame. Whatever garbage came after (I consider Shang Chi an exception), we will always have them.

[@bellantwain21]

Amazing movie love the video stef stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way

[@Liofa73]

Watch them in Timeline order, not the order they were released in the cinema. Disney plus has them all in timeline order. It makes more sense to the connected stories.

[@william_santiago]

You love the background they give? They only have 88 years of comic book lore to pull from.

[@badplay156]

Not quite 88 years. I was a child when it first came our and I'm only 70. It was maybe 60 years 😅

[@jeremys410]

Actually blows my mind there’s someone out there your age that hasn’t seen a single mcu movie. Kind of impressive haha definitely jealous

[@DavidMcCoyII]

Congrats on coming out from under a rock😂, you're going to enjoy this so, so much. Remember to get very attached to the characters, because definitely no one dies....... 32:45: the shards move around randomly as they are squeezed around by muscle movement, and can randomly move into vital areas. Tony wasn't dying of the shards on his crawl down to the basement, it was a mixture of panic and the sonic weapon that Stane used.

[@badplay156]

There are a lot of references to future movies. Remember the name of the organization The Ten Rings. It will pop up again. They recast Rhodie. Terence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle because of $. Btw how Iron Man started up is consistent with the comic book. Don't forget The Hulk movie which was released the same year. After you watch that you should watch the short The Consultant, its about 5 minutes. It adds a humorous bit of backstory to the after credits scene of the Hulk

[@Kingdoms_and_Kobolds]

As an aside, after watching the first Avengers movie it would be a good time to start watching Agents of SHIELD (tv show) as it picks up from that point.

[@DNulrammah]

@ 27:50 - The theme music from the animated Iron Man TV series (1967) used as a ring tone.
