The irony is that Robert Downey jr. really is, in a way, Tony Stark. RDJ had a history of drug & alcohol abuse in Hollywood. He even went to prison for a while. When he got out he finally started to get his life together. Marvel took a huge gamble casting him, given his reputation. Basically RDJ just played himself. He might have drawn on his life experiences when portraying Stark's life change. ... Before his downward spiral he did some excellent work. One of my personal favorites is Heart & Souls.

The phrase, "bought the farm" comes from an old mortgage term. Where there is an insurance policy attached to a mortgage. If the signer dies before the mortgage is finished, the insurance pays any outstanding debt. Some were so deeply in debt that the policy was the only way to pay off their mortgage. So if they die then their property is debt free. They, "bought the farm."

Good point. Also, though, most heroes with a secret identity have some hope of keeping that identity secret. Tony's already associated with Iron Man ("Are we supposed to believe that's a bodyguard in a suit?"), and his tech is evident (repulsors in the Jericho, repulsors in the suit). Cat's outta the bag already; might as well jump on the tiger and take the ride.

You'd surprised to hear that most men actually love Tony, and consider him a role model in many ways - In spite of his flaws. Because you see, in spite of his arrogance, he still reflects on his mistakes when they are laid bare, and makes the necessary changes to fix his mistakes. That is what separates him from the other "bad boys" that women like. That, the great sense of humor, and the fact that he actually does do some serious amount of thinking ahead when it comes to serious matters. He is not perfect, but he always seeks to improve in every sense. Improve himself, improve things for the world at large, improve the chances for the common folk, improve technology, improve medicine, help people improve themselves by challenging their perspectives(even if he's often snarky about it, especially with ppl that he has no respect for/history with). So no, if you found a more exact replica of Tony - Most men would CG you on the catch. Now ofc most such ppl only seem like him, but are true fullblown selfish narcissists. And so if you try, you're likely to find them instead warning you, and losing faith in your judgment.

@@PhilBagels Dafuq do you mean "And it's better to be on Tony's hands"? Tony's been ready to get his hands dirty since the minute he saw that his weapons were in the hands of terrorists on top of already having the moniker "The Death Merchant" for profiting off of hundreds of people's deaths with his technology. It's only here that he realizes just the weight of indiscriminate blood he's already spilt. And Yinsen helped Tony realize that it's not too late to make things right, he has so much more to offer and prove during his life Yinsen didn't have anything to prove, he's already accepted his death the moment his family died. But he wanted his last acts on Earth helping someone, not killing anyone. The fact that you took that stance of argument makes me think you're a person who looked too deep behind the curtain of film and can't analyze characters without seeing a political or script based angle anymore.

@@solaire2271 Yinsen isn't an idiot. They killed his family. Do you think he wants the terrorists to live? So maybe they can kill someone else's family, too? That if he doesn't kill them, they'll change their ways and volunteer in hospitals? That if he doesn't kill them, Tony will also let them live? That leaving them alive will do any good whatsoever? What better help could he have given to Tony, and to the rest of the world at that moment, than to kill the terrorists? The fact that you took that stance of argument makes me think you're a person who doesn't know good from evil, or at least doesn't understand how movie ratings and marketing work.

at 47:00 you are describing what made Marvel special. As Stan Lee once said, and this is a paraphrase. The secret to making a great superhero is to give him a superpower but then after that, make everything else as realistic as possible. This person has faults, struggles, and the dialog is realistic.

The first suit up of the Mk II was absolutely epic. I've never seen a more awesome suiting up scene than that before or since. The music build up throughout the construction scene, building up to that awesome crescendo when Tony flies out the Mk II suit out of his drive way is the GOAT.

I just joined your Patreon so that I can go through this journey with you of the MCU. It's probably my favorite thing to do, watching people be introduced to this, for whatever reason. All you have to do is keep an open mind. I know it seems daunting when you see that it's 14 years and going and movies and TV shows, but really, you'll be caught up before you know it. I've seen many reactors start this journey feeling anxious and when they get caught up, they all say they can't believe how fast it went. Just relax 'cause the MCU is nothin' but fun.

Marvel has always been so amazing at building characters. Everybody has their purpose and what drives them and they stay consistent in that over the course of 20+ movies. But after rewatching this with you I noticed something I never noticed before. Although Tony is thought to be the selfish and cocky playboy, the line around 35:35 really got me with chills. Tony says "There is nothing but this, there is no art opening, there is no benefit, there is nothing to sign! There is nothing but the next mission, and nothing else". And that mindset is something that I think falls 100% in line with Captain Americas was of thinking. And yet their initial relationship is built off of Tony being the opposite of Cap. Just never really clicked until now watching this that Tony really was changed in his heart from the very first movie it just took a while.for others to see it.

Apart from being a 'Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist' (remember this quote), Tony Starks 'superpower' is his ability to adapt and overcome, you see it here with his modification to overcome the icing up at high altitude, and is played out across the other movies with his different suits :)

@robdom913 жыл бұрын
I have heard some famous historic people had adrenaline levels in their blood that would have killed a normal human. It is a known fact that the brain is highly unique and some people's mind never quiets down completely which can interfere with their sleep. They have a boosted creativity at the cost of attention span and long term memory. In the movie, Tony also has a problem with remembering people's names and managing his personal life...

The amazing thing about the MCU is that it’s entirely built on second chances and also-rans. The heroes that have become the anchors of the MCU - Iron Man, Thor, Captain America - weren’t the most popular Marvel characters. The previously popular ones are the ones Marvel licensed out to studios before they had one of their own - Spider-Man and all his villains and such went to Sony, and the X-Men and Fantastic Four and *their* related characters went to 20th Century Fox. The MCU is built on what they previously couldn’t sell to anyone else. And this role was Robert Downey Jr.’s renaissance. He had a serious run in the 80s and 90s, nominated for an Oscar for playing Charlie Chaplin, then nosedived into alcohol and drugs. (The bit about wanting a cheeseburger before anything else when he came back to the US was deliberate irony - RDJ had said that his “hitting bottom” moment involved eating a cheeseburger and realizing how disgusting it (and he) was.) He was starting to rebuild his life and career (he was nominated for his second Oscar the year before Iron Man), but he was by no means completely “back.” (And don’t get me started on Chris Evans’ previous role as Johnny Storm…) So the idea that a multi-billion dollar franchise would be started by Robert Downey Jr. playing Iron Man…well, Kevin Feige (the head of Marvel Studios, and the only “producer” for every Marvel film) must have sacrificed *something* to the Infernal Ones.

I'm gonna need reactors to realize Tony is so wealthy bc of his mind that his cars nor house mean anything to him. He can always replace and rebuild so he doesn't care if they get damaged or how. We need to see it from his perspective. He doesn't not care about fucking up his cars or home bc he's wealthy enough to replace it.

This movie in particular is really cool because Jon Favreau like picked Robert Downey Junior and saw what he could become. When nobody in Hollywood would give RDJ a shot, Jon did! And pretty much did the same with Star Wars in the mandalorian 🙈 the technology he and the team at ILM invented for that show as well as this movie has massive effects on the film industry! And I love that I grew up with Jon’s content to consume! ✌️🤙
