If no-one has let you know already, Vanko tells Hammer "If I'm killed, don't wake me. It is better to die than to live in your world." in Russian and lies that it means "very good man" and later he tells him in Russian "you talk too much". At least according to what I've looked up, I don't speak Russian myself :)

[@Starsaber222]

For an idea as to the timeline, the post-credits scene of Incredible Hulk actually takes place after this (there's footage of Hulk at the university on one of the screens in the scene with Fury at the end. This, Incredible Hulk, and Thor all happen in the same week.

[@nemya9586]

Dang! Shield has their hands full 😬

[@barkingmonkee]

Meg at 7:42 : "This is pretty kinky though" Caleb's face: "I must never have whips in the house.." ...later, Natasha appears... Meg: "I`m pretty sus of her" Caleb's face: "OK, whips might be alright sometimes...still not electric though..." I think this is the best MegMage reaction performance so far, I'm really enjoying these.

[@HeroesKey]

While this isn't my favorite Iron Man movie of the three, I honestly don't think it was as bad as some people made it out to be. One thing I love that this movie gave was the introduction of Black Widow and War Machine. Great reaction once again from the both of you guys! Can't wait for the next one!!

[@SpartanShepard]

It's definitely aged better than when it first came out, now that we've seen where the MCU has gone. I think the same applies for Age Of Ultron, definitely not as poor as people make it out to be.

[@HeroesKey]

@@SpartanShepard Oh yeah definitely agree. I actually rewatched Age of Ultron not too long ago and I don't recall ever really hating it. There were definitely things I didn't like about it (that I won't say to avoid spoilers) but it was not the worse thing I watched

[@erikawilliams9558]

I honestly didn't understand what people didn't like about it

[@KrimsonKracker]

@@erikawilliams9558 Superhero films typically come with countless nitpickers with VERY SPECIFIC expectations when it comes to "their" movies...

[@dasupertramp5855]

Jon & RDJ fought hard to make IM2 the way they wanted to, knocking heads with Marvel management quite a bit along the way. They did their best to stay true to the character as they created him in IM1, and i personally enjoy IM2 very much. Just one more piece of an amazing wonderful puzzle.

[@andrewroberts9885]

Great reaction. Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer is one of my favourite performances in the MCU.

[@robertrouse4503]

According to Marvel, that little kid with the Iron Man mask was a young Peter Parker years before he became Spider-Man.

[@TheBlarggle]

"Eugh!" is a perfectly acceptable response to seeing a surprise Elon cameo.

[@tomclark5924]

Loving this journey! The MCU is about to expand for sure and I can’t wait for you to see where it all goes!

[@vodengc520]

Working through this series, and I have to give you guys a thumbs up just for reacting to both the "What?" moment in the ring with Natasha/Natalie, and the "Give me a phat beat to beat my buddy's ass to". To this day, still two of my absolute favorite comedic lines/scenes in any MCU movie, rofl.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

10:41 Mark! Don't forget "envious"! 😁

[@bioticheart]

Loving this series! Also love when Caleb does something weird and Meg reacts to it. 😆

[@johncody2465]

I really love you guys. Your reactions to these movies are so funny and the young lady really has deep insight too! Thank you

[@HayleeGeorgette98]

Omg, I love y'all reactions to the Marvel movies so much and i've only seen like 2-or-3. Meg's reaction to everything is purely iconic. :)

[@dennytaylor1005]

Great reactions again. While Caleb has seen some of these, its great to see the journey you both are on with the MCU.

[@antonnovo695]

10:47 '"If I'm killed, don't wake me. It is better to die than to live in your world." Also I've noticed Ivan's father was names Anton according to the blueprints(16:47), and Howard Stark names his son Tony...;D Also realistically , at 23:22 he would tear her spine in half, if he lifted her like that at that speed

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

0:04 Mark! As someone that stays for the end credits to enjoy the music and practice Speed Reading, I knew about them for quite some time. I understand restroom needs and medical emergencies, of course. But I'm always annoyed by people standing up almost in unison just because they aren't Readers! I suppose when they see artwork they ignore the information card or plaque too! 😮

[@adrianr.1390]

🎶"cool guys don't look at explosions" 🎶👏🏽👍🏽

[@KrimsonKracker]

Fun fact: Sam Rockwell (Hammer) is one of my favorite actors, won an Oscar just a few years ago for his role in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". Among his first roles was the "Head Thug" in the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie. Most recently, he also provided the voice for "Mr. Wolf" (lead character) in The Bad Guys.

[@adios4748]

Oh ive been waiting for this love you guys

[@oblivija]

Yeeees I was waiting for this! Iron Man is my favorite superhero and I love your reactions so yay yay yay! :D

[@4c_aperture]

15:35 well, twist my arm why don't you :D now I absolutely HAVE to subscribe, I love reactors who have this kind of story analysis just off the top of their head!! I am very much enjoying jumping around and binging this entire series y'all've got. Also comparing Loki to Jinx in your next reaction?? I'm going to love seeing this journey.

[@lgsalmeida]

7:40 Caleb's reaction got me lol

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

7:09 Mark! Oh! So he did use her real name and got away with it! 😁

[@zbennalley]

I always forget the fact that Tony and Rhodey defeated the villain with an Air High Five ✋️💥✋️

[@michaelconnor1542]

The annoying senator is late great Gary Shandling. He didn't know anything about the movies but Downy and Favreau are fans. So he did it, and nailed it. Look up his body of work, he is great. I grew up watching him.

[@peterkoester7358]

I'm sure someone may have mentioned this on the comments of your MCU reactions, but there are a series of what were called Marvel One Shots that take place in the MCU but fill in small details of the universe in between fllms. If you're watching the MCU films on Disney+, the One Shots are available there as well. They should be watched following specific films: The Consultant - should be watched right after Iron Man 2. A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer - should be watched just prior to watching Thor, it takes place just prior to the end credit scene of Iron Man 2. Agent Carter - should be watched following Captain America: The First Avenger. Item 47 - should be watched following The Avengers. All Hail the King - should be watched following Iron Man 3. I would love to see you react to these Marvel One Shots along with the main MCU films!

[@ryan_a_yazzie]

Hammer's dance is always cringe and hilarious when I see it, too. Sam Rockwell, the actor who plays Hammer, always has a scene in his movies where he does a lil dance. Haha. Enjoying this journey with y'all.

[@myopinion69420]

the bird is more specifically a cockatoo, they can live up to 40-60 years, found in Australia and Indonesia.

[@wildhunt6350]

6:43 That's a Elon Musk cameo he is the real life iron man and that's your reaction to it: Uuh... 20:38 appearently, the kid is supposed to be Peter Parker.

[@PickleBread355]

So like an hour ago... KZbin recommended your channel for your Infinity war part 2. I went ahead and started on iron Man I've already finished the hulk an now we're here... So just FYI you're going to get a lot of comments cuz I plan on watching as many of these as I can tonight

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

Sam Rockwell who played Justin hammer is a big fan of James Brown so that's why he was dancing like that at the expo

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

as far as Tony being a narcissist theres a difference between Narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic behavior. I think Tony exhibits the behavior but does not have the disorder because he's capable of consideration outside of himself.

[@neeladrireddy3068]

My favourite was the "Ew" for musk.

[@vandna5388]

Please do this twice a week I am dying to see your reactions

[@MadBoyChes]

11:01 Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I heard the translation was something like "If I die do not wake me, it is better to be dead than to live in you're world"

[@Amplifier786]

Great reaction 🖤:)

[@shreyanshsingh5465]

7:42 celebs face😂😂😂

[@jobutony]

They retconned it that the child with the iron man mask in the end was Peter Parker.

[@LordMesa]

Would it even be considered retconning if they just say who was under the mask? Because they never revealed who it was.

[@superskrull4479]

I love the genuine reaction, not over exaggerating or doing over the top reaction like others.

[@terminallumbago6465]

Have you two ever thought of doing song reactions too?

[@Serryy]

Tony doesnt need to know the stuff about other countries trying to make their own Iron Man movie. Hes a private citizen.

[@654ethan]

What’s with the random musk hate lol

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

Meg they only get better from here , even the less liked are still really good

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

23:56 my favourite moment.

[@tokuprime8012]

I hope you continue the mcu journey like watching phase 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 in the near future but still love your mcu reactions

[@roderick8167]

Iron Man 2 definitely isn't favorite of the Iron Man trilogy and it's considered by many MCU fans to be one of the worst ( air quote worse ) MCU movies Iron Man 2 is still an incredibly good time in my opinion plus how can you not laugh your ass off of Tony vs Rhodey while tge goofy music plays in the background 😂

[@Gamer010001]

Hi just to let you guys know that the little kid Tony saved in the film was Peter Parker this has been confirmed by Tom Holland.

[@muhammadnazrin3390]

My least favourite Iron Man movie, but still it has scenes that i do enjoy. Same feelings i hold for Thor: Dark World. Fave Iron Man is the first one

[@renascienza.bazarclub]

"Never cross the rays, guys" - Ghostbusters.

[@MrBigPicture835]

The insurance companies are gonna claim "Act of Vanko".

[@ISavant]

I just fucking love that your reaction to Elon musk was "Ew", which is the appropriate reaction to him. (And no, weird defenders of musk, I don't care to debate you)

[@shmayleb]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 It’s truly the only appropriate reaction

[@erikawilliams9558]

I'm with you on that actually

[@georgeide2337]

Does anyone where actually know Musk peronally?

[@ISavant]

@@georgeide2337 why would I want to?

[@zachedwards6006]

The line “I am Iron Man” was completely improvised by RDJ. Until that point marvel was planning on him having a secret identity like most superhero’s. That one line influenced the MCU more than most people know and not at all in the script.

[@Patrick-rv9yr]

When you watch Iron MAN 3 and then watch the short film "All Hail the King" you can see life after Hammer

[@johnny747x]

It was confirmed that the little kid with the Iron Man helmet is Peter Parker

[@marianisrocha]

Unpopular opinion: as a die-hard Iron Man fan since first watching his movie when I was 7 and it first came out; the first and second movie are my favorites of him, third one I don't hate it mostly because of the characters but plot wasn't really well thought out I think, but as someone who connected so much with Tony's character when I was a kid and then re watching the second movie when I was a teenager, it just meant so much to me on a personal level, I was struggling with a lot of stuff back then and even though it wasn't at all the same that Tony was going through, those two movies left a lesson with me about trying to be a better person, being self-aware and trying to trust those people closest to me, till this day I still struggle with those but that's why I love coming back to this movie as a reminder that if Tony Stark as flawed as he is can still be a good person and be loved by his important people, then so can I... yeah corny as hell xD but this movie has a special place in my heart (Also as a side note, this movie is a gold mine for Tony-angst fanfics and is not really explored in that aspect anymore which is a bit sad)

[@blueroninstudios]

Ivan will not be back, neither will his bird, but Im a fan of thinking that his bird is off somewhere in the rainforests living his best life. Rhodey became War Machine, Black Widow and SHIELD are now on the scene. Also, Tony has a lot of mistakes he's still gonna make, some of them forgivable.....and some will be, sadly, tragic and tear-jerking. But he will always be Iron Man.

[@DehydratedDiety]

Lmfao, this girl said "kinky" boy better keep his guard up in the bedroom. Red flag has been raised 🚩

[@renascienza.bazarclub]

The best things on Iron Man movies is the presence of real big tech guys like Larry Ellingson (Oracle) and Elon Musk (SpaceX)... Ok, they probably paid hard to appear, but is interesting anyway 😎 The worse thing: the "transformation" scenes like "Winx" style. Tony "Diva" Stark take time to wear the suit so we have enough time to appreciate every detail of his armor...

[@ISavant]

You mean guys who wish they were Tony stark and are like him only in that he's rich

[@renascienza.bazarclub]

@@ISavant Not at all, Larry Ellinson want to be owner of the biggest database company in the world, not Tony Stark. Same way, Musk doesn't want to fly on some armor, he want to launh rockets to Mars. And yes, both of them want publicity, so they pay to appear on Iron Man movies. The difference between you and them, is that they are actually doing the things they want. As neither of them are heirs, lottery tickets winners, or works on anything else but tech, be rich like that is a consequence, not the cause.

[@ISavant]

@@renascienza.bazarclub lmao Elon musk absolutely inherited his wealth.

[@renascienza.bazarclub]

@@ISavant Elon never inherited 200 billion of US dollars, so this amount came from work, right?

[@praveennayak3154]

React to Watchmen (2009). Ultimate cut

[@renascienza.bazarclub]

So a "smart" guy create a double lose whip that create *electrical arcs* of hundreds of volts, that is not exactly the king of the maneuverability, and chose use it with a naked torso... Amazing, what can possibly go wrong? 🙃😎

[@adeal2buy354]

the cringiest thing of all is watching people saying all the time that everything is cringy

[@oxhine]

Hey, Meg and Caleb! The second Iron Man entry is a total blast that ups the ante of the first film by having Tony ride high on the celebrity of his public declaration as well as suffer privately from deadly blood poisoning caused by his arc reactor, create a new element as well as a new suit, contend with a vengeful technical genius as well as a corporate antagonist and engage in a colossal three-way armored battle for the climax! The Hammer-Vanko storyline is clearly a tribute to one of Iron Man's signature arcs -- "Armor Wars" -- wherein Tony has to shut down every operation that's appropriated stolen StarkTech including SHIELD! This is also the only film to touch on Tony's alcoholism which should have been the subject of a whole movie as it is CENTRAL to the character. The legendary "Demon in a Bottle" arc has Tony hit rock bottom and turn over his Iron Man duties to James Rhodes which would have been some great material for both Robert Downey, Jr. and Don Cheadle as the new 'Rhodey' replacing Terrence Howard. The film boasts an incredible cast with RDJ portraying Tony Stark in full manic mode as a man keenly aware of his imminent mortality yet in simultaneous aggressive denial. He is supported by a nakedly envious Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, a menacingly bemused Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko aka Whiplash, a lusciously lethal Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow and an earnest, exasperated Don Cheadle as Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes aka War Machine. Garry Shandling even shows up in a small role he reprises elsewhere in the MCU as Senator Stern. The "His Girl Friday"-like romantic banter between Tony and Gwyneth Paltrow's Virginia 'Pepper' Potts remains a comic highlight with Clark Gregg's Agent Phil Coulson serving as a great straight man. I also really like John Slattery's contribution as elder Howard Stark who looms so large in Tony's life. Slattery's portrayal in Stark's promotional recordings is a hybrid of a young Howard Hughes and a middle-aged Walt Disney. Of course, director Jon Favreau as Harold 'Happy' Hogan and Paul Bettany as JARVIS return. Perpetually p***ed-off Sam Jackson as Col. Nick Fury swings by to drop some dark Stark legacy in Tony's lap as well as drop a hint of Asgardian doings in the Southwest. Leslie Bibb returns as journalist Christine Everhart as does Tim Guinee as USAF Major Allen. Kate Mara has a bit part as a process server and Elon Musk appears as himself! TRIVIA: 1. Natasha's belt buckle carries her sigil which is the red angular hourglass shape that is found on the actual backs of black widow spiders. 2. The events of "Iron Man 2", "The Incredible Hulk" and "Thor" all occur during one week in MCU-time called Fury's Big Week! EASTER EGGS: 1. The half-finished, star-spangled convex object Tony uses to balance his makeshift particle accelerator is a prototype of Captain America's shield! 2. While Tony reads his psych evaluation by Natasha, one of the holo-screens shows a field reporter covering the aftermath of Hulk's Culver University rampage indicating that Hulk's adventure is still in progress while Tony has just completed his which places "Iron Man 2" earlier in the chronology than "Incredible Hulk". 3. Tony's status as a SHIELD consultant sets up the One-Shot "The Consultant" which accompanies "Incredible Hulk" recontextualizing its barroom end-credit scene with Ross. 4. The kid in the Iron Man helmet Tony saves from the drone at the Expo is a pre-Spider-Man Peter Parker! CAMEO: 1. Stan Lee shows up as Larry King complete with suspenders as Tony descends the escalator from the opening Stark Expo! END-CREDIT SCENE: 1. The end-credit scene is actually an excerpt from "Thor" which shows Coulson arriving in New Mexico at the crater made by the impact of Thor's fallen hammer, Mjolnir. The next chronological stop in the MCU is a featurette called a One-Shot that occurs at the end of "Iron Man 2" prior to the end-credit scene which is actually a clip from "Thor". "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" serves as a little prelude to "Thor" as Coulson travels to New Mexico and stumbles onto some unexpected action. It is found on the "Captain America: The First Avenger" blu-ray and DPlus.

[@Proudtman]

Hammer is such a whiney baby 🙄

[@Saiputera]

Elon musk worth more then her lol
