Iron Man 2 Movie Description:
With the world now aware that he is Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from all sides to share his technology with the military. He is reluctant to divulge the secrets of his armored suit, fearing the information will fall into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) by his side, Tony must forge new alliances and confront a powerful new enemy.
Iron Man 2 is a 2010 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Iron Man. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it is the sequel to Iron Man (2008) and the third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Directed by Jon Favreau and written by Justin Theroux, the film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Samuel L. Jackson. Six months after Iron Man, Tony Stark resists calls from the United States government to hand over the Iron Man technology, which is causing his declining health. Meanwhile, Russian scientist Ivan Vanko (Rourke) uses his own version of the technology to pursue a vendetta against the Stark family.
Following the critical and commercial success of Iron Man in May 2008, Marvel Studios announced and immediately set to work on producing a sequel. In July, Theroux was hired to write the script and Favreau was signed to return as director. Downey, Paltrow, and Jackson were set to reprise their roles from Iron Man, while Cheadle was brought in to replace Terrence Howard in the role of James Rhodes. In the early months of 2009, Rourke (Vanko), Rockwell, and Johansson filled out the supporting cast. Filming took place from April to July 2009, mostly in California as in the first film, except for a key sequence in Monaco. Unlike its predecessor, which mixed digital and practical effects, the sequel primarily relied on computer-generated imagery to create the Iron Man suits.
Iron Man 2 premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on April 26, 2010, and was released in the United States on May 7, as part of Phase One of the MCU. The film received generally positive reviews from critics with praise for its action sequences and performances, although they deemed it to be inferior to the first film. The sequel grossed over $623.9 million at the worldwide box office, making it the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2010. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects. A sequel, Iron Man 3, was released on May 3, 2013.

Idk why is it so hard to understand the logic behind finding the number of neutrons, electrons and proton that his father hid in that expo figure to make the new element. You just need to have basic chemistry knowledge to know that that's what they meant by that scene. Tony's dad just didn't have the necessary hardware to make his theory come to life.

[@jager3090]

It is implied that the element Tony rediscovered in this movie is vibranium. I think there's a book or something that they released that's a tie-in to the MCU that states that. Vibranium is a self-sustaining power source and that's why Tony never had any issues with his arc reactor from then onwards. This moment is also referenced in the Killmonger What If? episode where Tony used Killmonger's vibranium ring as a power source for his gundam.

[@angelramirez936]

Gundam??

[@angelramirez936]

Also, in the first captain America movie, they've already discovered vibranium AND adamantium. It's what his shield is made of. So it doesn't really make sense. I always thought it was an artificial version of the power stone. I thought that was why it glowed and we never see his suit run out of power onscreen again iirc.

[@GamerGrovyle]

I don't think Vibranium = Arc Reactor because in the same What If he mentions making an Arc Reactor but says it's dumb then Killmonger suggests Vibranium.

[@jager3090]

@@angelramirez936 Nope. No adamantium. It's never been mentioned in the MCU before. Plus, presumably the only vibranium the US had is what they used to to make Cap's shield. As at the time, that was all they had.

[@jager3090]

@@GamerGrovyle The arc reactor is NOT vibranium. Remember Tony had an arc reactor powering the Stark Building. And then he miniaturised it for his chest. But it was using a metal alloy and that metal was poisoning him. Vibranium is the pure and safe alternative he rediscovered (thanks to his dad, who has worked with vibranium before's plans) to keep his chest reactor running without poisoning him.

[@IotaOmicron825]

I felt the same way about the Tony is dying thing when this came out, but I think this is one that you end up looking back on a few movies later and it makes more sense from a character development perspective. This one mainly covers how he confronts a few of his own personal demons, but I think they ended up condensing it down because the studio wanted to really lean more into building up to the big crossover, and they made them go back and add a bunch of world-building that didn't totally fit the tone.

[@HelloMellowXVI]

Yeah I Saw The Character Development And I Really Appreciate It, I Just Wish They Made A Better Story For It.

[@clonexx]

@@HelloMellowXVI If RDJ didn’t have the issues he had prior to Iron Man, we would have got a different character building arc. They had to come up with something new, because it would be pretty difficult and kind of degrading/insulting for Robert to play out literally what he went through in real life. So instead we get the “dying” storyline. I was ok with it when I saw it. I was also ok with him inventing a new element. This is a world with an element we don’t have in real life, plus a person who is far beyond any genius we’ve ever known. He used that element to create an offshoot that could be used to power the suit without degrading. With that said, the first one absolutely was better.

[@brokenfoxx]

I still like this better than the third. Maybe because I think in a general story-way (yes, there's still big holes, but if Tony can do just about anything, why can't Vanko?), but it worked for me.

[@izukumidoriya8600]

There's a theory that the "new" element he made was a form of vibranium which is how Howard had the idea when he used the vibranium for the shield he tried experimenting with making other versions and found it's ability to become a high level power source but he couldn't find a way to synthesise it with the tech of his time period and he couldn't figure it out in his lifetime

While that does make sense wouldn't they have a file on the chemical makeup of vibranium since Tony's dad created the shield he would have studied the metal and also im pretty sure it was stated at one point that he came up with the new element after studying the teserract/space stone if anything the new element would make more since if it was a artificial infinity stone that's just infinitely weaker

[@blinkachu5275]

It's not even necessary to "try" and defend it, because it makes total sense? Most metals in your body aren't good. A battery in your body would especially not be good. The arc reactor is basically a super powerful battery. Sure, it kinda came out of nowhere considering how the first one ended but honestly, it wouldn't have fit in the story. And to say Tony would've thought of that? Maybe, but he's not infallible. It is possible he didn't know, or heck, it's possible he did know but since without the arc reactor he literally dies a lot sooner, figured it was better than nothing.

[@s.c.sanchez1610]

The way I heard it, Edgar Wright came to Marvel wanting to do Ant-man way back in the beginning but they felt the character would be too hard for audiences to "get" and they didnt want to start the MCU with that character. Really, they had no idea that the MCU was even about to be and that's why Iron Man became the face. He was their best & safest bet. When all was said and done, Edgar Wright parted ways due to creative differences and the Ant-man movie he wanted to make eventually was developed to become the tail end movie of Phase 2.

[@mayomenace2636]

The palladium was the only known element that he had accessible to use until he reinvented his father's creation

[@martincolleran7109]

Rhodey was already a battle tested fighter pilot, so that is why he could learn to fly the suit so quickly. Plus I'm pretty sure that Tony would have at least shown him basic operation.

[@SirPaladin]

so i'm pretty sure the new element Tony makes to power his suit is based on the Tessaract; Howard Stark found that at the end of Captain America's first movie so he would've known about its effects but apparently never able to recreate it in that era's technology.

[@damonkeysupaboii1023]

So one of the reasons why tony was acting the way he was in the movie at the party was that in comics he has drinking problem there’s even a special comic dedicated to it called “demon in a bottle” if you watch the movies that Tony is in you see the reference that he’s always drinking reasons why he acted out in that scene

[@seanmahoney2671]

In Tony's speech in the beginning he said it is all about legacy... and so it is. He gives the company to Pepper so she can take over when he is gone. He sets it up so Rhoady can take the suit so he can follow in the footsteps of Iron Man as the War Machine. Tony's father leaves him the info for a new element as his legacy. Anton hates him because of the the legacy of both fathers... it's all about legacy.

I really wish I hadn't been repelled from watching AoS early on by some people trying to convince me that the show wasn't worth it.

[@drusillathetinsmith]

I feel that the original intent for Aos (Agents of Shield) was that it would be part of MCU canon, but it was a victim of being made by a different studio. Integration into the movies as a practice wasn't perfect (it's not perfect now), so the show spent a season jogging in place until Captain America: the Winter Soldier was released (If I understand correctly, elements from AoS would be used in the beginning of Winter Soldier). The show's adherence to canon would be looser after that, though there would be references to events like Thor's battle with the Dark Elves, the Sokovia Accords, and Thanos's arrival on Earth. It's still *basically* a good show and an interesting watch.

[@oaf-77]

Agents of shield over all was pretty good, the stuff with the Inhumans wasn't bad and some of the later storylines were actually the best portrayal of some of those characters ever on screen. The last two seasons felt very tacked on though.

[@snorpenbass4196]

It was that and being the victim of Ike Perlmutter, who ran the TV division at the time. Ike is the guy who slowed down production on every Marvel movie with women or black leads, because he's basically an old racist turd. Once they got him out of the way, we got Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Black Widow...but it took a _lot_ to get rid of him. The Inhumans thing was his obsession, too.

[@xcellent-records]

At the time of Phase 1, Marvel was working with a director (Edgar Wright) for a few years on Ant-Man but designing the special effects was a slow process and the director kept taking breaks to work on other movies. Marvel decided within that time to have a connected universe and went behind the directors back and rewrote the script (to have a "Marvel" tone and fit with the other movies). This made the director angry and he left the project two months before filming was to start. They approached director Adam McKay to step in, but he was too busy with other projects to direct but offered to help rewrite the script with actor Paul Rudd (they added jokes to the script and the scene with Falcon). They quickly found another director and made Ant-Man. [Ant-Man and Wasp were original Avengers in the comic books and were wanted to be in the first Avengers line up, but Marvel really wanted to work with Edgar Wright so Black Widow and Hawkeye were substituted in their place).

[@cptayne]

Nah I don’t care what anyone says, IronMan 2 disregard the villain, is a great movie. It’s fun, action packed, and Tony is hilarious again.

[@josephgonzalez4390]

Yes in the cartoon and in the comics it has been shown that Tony's Ark reactor caused Tony's body to become toxic, I think in one of the comics he became toxic due to the energy itself but in another comic it was actually due to the energy burning the core or something along those lines I don't remember but you can look it up and in the cartoon it wasn't specific but I think it had to do with the energy. Just like in real life when the core of a nuclear power plant becomes used it has to be replaced because those rods after depleted degrade into other elements that are pretty toxic and will stay that way for thousands of years.

Iron Man 2 tried to do just a little too much all at once.

I would have maintained the blood toxicity tests, but I would have saved solving the problem for the beginning of the 3rd movie. By then, show Tony as being visibly affected.

It seriously bugs me the way everyone in Tony's life treated him in this movie. He came to each of them for help and they all saw his vulnerability and scorned him, looked down on him for needing help. And he took the message, "my problems are mine to solve alone, without anyone's help." And, in this movie, he did. And went on to all the other movies with that mentality. Ultron probably happened because of the way Tony's loved ones treated him when he was vulnerable in this one. Or not, I doubt the plotted characterization across films in that much detail, but it's interesting to me how well that analysis fits. And yeah, it still bugs me. Reaching out to everyone for help and all anyone wants to do is get some licks in on him while he seems like his guard's down.

i struggle to see how his suit killing him is a bad plot .. existential crisis of a billionaire is an amazing story..

[@drewettgreen3688]

Pretty sure in the comics there isn't the poisoning but alcoholism BUT because of RDJ's past they couldn't really use it because that would be incredibly triggering for him and his closest people. So I take it they made the poisoning to get the development without the extreme alcoholism.

[@annemusk6609]

Hi Mello . Haven't seen Iron man 2 in awhile. Yes Tony Stark a once in a lifetime role was made for him . A big headed selfish individual but lovable. Having watched the end game I see him in a different light. The way his character evolved especially when he took Spidernan under his wing. Thanx Mello a legendary commentary untill the next movie 💜

[@LexoG33]

Agents of SHIELD has the best sci-fi couple arc I've ever seen in Fitz-Simmons

[@biguy617]

The briefcase Iron Man suit is a reference to the Iron Man animated series. That is how Tony puts in the suit in the series.

[@silverdoeGirl]

IIRC Scarlett Johansson trained in martial arts to be able to make Natasha strong and lethal., she's the black widow after all! She kicks butt in this film. Tony does have great supporting actors though. I love Cheadle as Rhodes as well.

[@ericseitzler81]

Yea cause I hated Terrence Howard as roady,I can't stand that guy and most people feel the same way.

[@rogerrabbit5110]

Glad to see Mel back reacting by himself. While I enjoyed his collaboration on the “Ted” movie, I wasn’t really feeling his friend’s commentary outside the movie. I like Mel’s reactions because he always gives some unique insight into the acting, the script, directing, camerawork, etc. Sexual innuendos only go so far, as well as constant roasting of friends. Anyway, I’m glad to see you again after a long break on my side, Mel. Hope you consider some foreign movies in the future. Keep up your dreams of making it big!👍

[@Cat-vr5ss]

Yeah I suppose Billy's vibe isn't for everyone, I just enjoyed that he had a friend to enjoy the movie with 😁

[@robertfalcon6083]

Yea I’ve tried Billy before too…a bit to agro for me

[@supremeoveralskaters]

I personally love his friend collabs! I think comedy and more chill movies are perfect for group reactions

[@ВалентинЖданов-р9е]

In fact, in this movie, without knowing it, there is a Hydra in the government, Peter Parker (the kid in the helmet), Tony was already a member of the Illuminati, and in one of the scenes on the monitors on the maps, you can find Atlantis (the homeland of Namor who will appear in Wakanda Forever)

[@brianhanna3128]

You should check out the film Chef by and starring Jon Favreau - it's basically an allegory of him venting his frustration with the studio interference in Iron Man 2. There are solid reasons why it's not as good as the first.

[@DaGoonR]

It's kinda sad really, after Robert Downey JR there can never be another Ironman. Anyone can play Batman, I mean FFS Ben Assflake did it.

[@imetzl9340]

James Rhode's is a highly decorated combat pilot. The suit must come naturally to him

[@Brandon.Reacts]

Genuinely never self promoted, but I just wanted to say Mello you are the reason I've started my channel and decided to react to stranger things for the first time. I love how fun it looks when you do it, so thought I would try myself too. Cant wait to see what else you bring your videos just get better and better :D

[@bethtargett4304]

11:45 Elon Musk got the cameo because he let Marvel use the SpaceX manufacturing plant as a set for Ivan's scenes at HammerTech building the drones. The Merlin Engines Tony mentions in the restaurant are the main engines for SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, which were still under development at the time the movie was made.

[@brianoconnell6459]

Considering how pilots fared in those Iron Man knockoff suits, I don't think it's a matter of what they were getting into, as opposed to how many pieces they came out in.

[@blakartist2000]

Iron Man one was the start of this golden MCU, and it was tight no problem with story and very entertaining and it holds up and can't say that for 2.

[@woodch]

It just kinda feels like the studio went "Hey, Iron Man was a huge hit, and we need to shit something out into the theaters while the fire's still hot. It feels rushed. The story is kinda lame and there's not much tension. On the plus side, Mickey Rourke makes a great, menacing villain, and Sam Rockwell is fun to watch in anything. Whenever either of them is on screen is fine, and they get a good amount of screen time.

[@blakartist2000]

@@woodch yeah I like Sam and I want them to bring him back in something maybe Armor War

[@ВалентинЖданов-р9е]

I wonder if Blade would never have come out...Would we get the Marvel universe that we know now?!

[@davidistakinganap]

15:07 them freaking out about this villain knowing that iron man 1v1 thanos way later on is so fire tbh cuz it’s like damn they don’t know what’s in store for them. And I love it even more cuz iron man uses what Ivan says against Thanos to give himself hope aka when Ivan says “If you could make a god bleed, people will cease to believe in him”.

[@ottoswanson6664]

10:22 "Nearly broke his....DAMN.....Nose 👀😮" FELT!!!! 😂

[@nikobelwilliams9739]

Out of the entire MCU, Scarlett/Natasha has never looked better than she does in this film.

[@nightking0130]

What’s funny is that the ex wife would have worked and killed vanko if rhody would have been at an effective range. Projectiles need to reach a certain speed and distance before they arm themselves plus if it had worked it would have killed them all.

[@ooiiooiiooii]

Tony has so many enemies because he and his dad are terrible, selfish people. It’s not because he’s successful. The Stark’s stole, cheated and horded resources to become that rich.

[@wonderlandian8465]

I like aspects of this movie like the comedy, the introduction of Black Widow, the introduction of The Avengers initiative and Nick Furry but it is a bit all over the place.

[@deek60819]

yeah you gotta go through the history of how the MCU came to be to understand why they chose Iron Man to start things out. Marvel comics almost went out of business back in the day, so they had to sell the rights to all their characters to different studios. They've slowly regained the film rights to most of their characters as the MCU has developed but that's why they have made changes. This mostly started happening after the first Avengers and Iron Man 3 when Disney bought marvel studios

[@JoeMama410]

Agents of Shield is a mixed bag. I gave up on it at least 3 times, but came back every time and was glad I did. You really grow to love the characters, even if it gets slow sometimes.

[@robert8311]

I can see that finished it and for the most part the last 3 seasons got confusing but they had to find a reason to break from the MCU movies sense they didn't know how infinity war and endgame would go so it went off the rails but still enjoyed it still one of the best marvel live action shows after daredevil but better than any D+ show

[@cxshlou6787]

33:41 That was Peter Parker when he was younger and another theory is that his parents died from Hammer’s machines

[@Cat-vr5ss]

I mean Tony blew up part of his house doing that trick with Rhodey, I don't think it was stupid that the Russian guy, stuck in between them right in the center of the blast, being defeated that way was lame. 😂

[@hackroots02]

Fun fact the dude that plays Hammer was consider the second choice to play Tony Stark.

[@billbill6094]

Never seen someone who hated the palladium poisoning and the discovering a new element so much.

[@GamerGrovyle]

9:07 No one's ever used an Arc Reactor for life support before. The technology itself has never been used other than the giant version in their company. Tony is THE FIRST PERSON to walk around being exposed to it 24/7 for several months at this point. He couldn't have known what it would do to him. When he built the miniaturized arc reactor he was desperate to escape and in need for a power source to run the Iron Man prototype. Before that, he was walking around with a car battery that would run out in a week, causing the shrapnel in his heart to kill him. He doesn't have an alternative to wearing this until the end of the movie. His choices are quick death by shrapnel or slow death by blood toxicity and the slow one lets him live crazy for a few weeks or months.

[@izukumidoriya8600]

With Hammer's Ex-Wife Bunk Buster it might have actually worked if it was from further away since it has to go fast enough it's not a close range weapon but still probably wouldn't have worked or acted like the "Tank Missile" from the first movie (the one he used to blow up the tank in the iconic moment when he took on the terrorists before the fighter jet scene)

[@hectorportillo2572]

@MellVerse the kid with the Iron Man helmet was actually said to be spiderman when he was younger.

[@VLK_Static]

Agents of shield is great and a ton of fun. Just know that it starts a bit slow and like halfway through the season it picks up a lot. But it has some amazing moments. Not a huge amount of crossing with the movies though. It was before the push for Disney+ Shows

[@nl817]

After tony beat his ass on the racetrack he didn't call him a wuss, he said "Cooked your goose"

[@Namtrix]

RDJ had a tour of the tesla factory with Elon Musk before iron man 1 and he just saw how he carried himself when they were working on the first movie. He said it on Rogan I believe.

[@unclesuave]

Your reaction to Black Widow when sha came on screen immediately reminded me of Preach from Don't Be A Menace To South Central "My milk of magnesia. Ohh! Oh. After the devil made you he broke the mold. But maybe you and I could, uh, make a little jungle fever?"

[@Cinesta76]

Elon had a cameo because he gave permission for Marvel to use a part of his space ex building for filming.

[@deathninja16]

Jarvis allowed Roady to put on the suit is what I thought. He saw Tony was out of control and he knew he'd just mute him.

[@RidgeR5]

I'm just dying, watching you get all thirsty every time Black Widow is on screen. But for sure I loved her appearance and her hair in this movie over any of her other appearances in the MCU. Especially that crimped hair during the white hallway fight.

[@confucius12012]

Oh boy. If you are totally into Scarlett Jo like I know you are. lol. You need to check out Under the Skin. Not really a film to react to tho but my god, Scarlett is thick in this one and showing it all.

Oh yeah I saw that one 🤣😆😎 she was thick lmao. Lost the weight since then I think

[@confucius12012]

Sam Rockwell has his contract require at least one scene where he can dance.

[@savagelion1887]

The best thing about this movie is that this is black widows first appearance in the mcu

[@K3V1N117]

Iirc the palladium poisoning thing was their best attempt at doing the “demon in a bottle” story arc for Tony. Since it’s supposed to be family friendly they couldn’t figure out how to do the alcoholism (which is huge in the comics) for these movies
