Iron Man (2008) REACTION

[@fanwu3628]

Yinsen is a doctor, he shoots at nothing because he doesn't want to purposely kill anyone. I love Yinsen, true hero of this movie.

[@ryanadams2671]

Hero of the franchise honestly. Without him there would be no iron man. Iron mans influence on the world wouldn’t exist and the world would have been destroyed without him.

[@Logan_Baron]

Doctor's Credo "First Do No Harm". Even if he knows they need to be killed and that Tony/Iron Man will kill them, he can't willingly kill them himself. It's against his nature to take a life under any circumstances.

[@mattp6089]

Very true. His plea to Stark not to waste his second chance clearly drives him to be Iron Man. Mind you, way to excel at fulfilling a promise Tony....

[@philproffitt8363]

I like the way he starts working on Tony..."so you're a man who has everything...and nothing"

[@michaelccozens]

@@ryanadams2671 True, but I think the other hero of the franchise (besides Feige, of course, peace be upon him) is Jon Favreau, the director of this movie and Tony's bodyguard Happy. Iron Man isn't technically the first MCU canon film (that would be the second Incredible Hulk movie, but not the first, for some reason), but it is the one that put the Universe on solid footing. Jon filled the tanks, lit the fires, and let her soar.

[@onepcwhiz]

"doing a piece for Vanity Fair".. How have I not caught this before?

[@PaulSchober]

An in the second film at Monaco, Pepper says about her that "She did quite the spread on Tony last year". And Tony quips back "And she wrote an article about me too."

[@Caseytify]

It seems to fly under most folks radar. 😏

[@devilsthadvocate2002]

Yeah, I caught it this time too! 🤣

[@SpurrBlack]

Um yeah it must be one of those mystical things like the thousandth monkey... Paul in a later comment mentioned Monaco. Only put both together on the dozenth watchings

[@aaronboone8097]

Oh my gosh 🤣 never noticed that

[@CrazeeAdam]

One quote I'd like you to remember is from Yinsen: "Don't waste your life Stark, don't waste it..." This matters more and more as the films go on. And perhaps is a driving force behind Tony's ambition and nature in the later movies.

[@Caseytify]

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.

"Heroes aren't born. They're built." - Iron Man trailer

[@misterevil1967]

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."

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Thank you for that information. I have heard that term before and I only knew that the person was dead never the full meaning

[@barreloffun10]

I thought it just referred to buying a certain plot of land-a burial plot.

[@Badartist888]

At the end. Most heroes don't reveal their names to protect loved ones. But Tony's story is, in many ways, about learning to love others then himself so while a badarse line it is actually kind of sad that in the moment he doesn't really have anyone to protect. Just a military guy who is almost a friend and some close employees.

[@michaelccozens]

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.

[@hunterlawrence3573]

And there’s not much danger from revealing it at that point in time. He’s Tony Stark. Revealing he’s Iron Man just makes people less likely to cross him

Tony Stark is what used to be called "a man's man". The kind of guy that you could hang out with and you wouldn't get jealous when your girlfriend talked about how great great is.

[@ItApproaches]

Trixy can't help but gush over guys and girls. A true woman.

As a guy, I'd say Tony Stark is the James Bond of the superhero genre - guys want to be him, girls want to be with him. He's just the definition of cool.

[@Maldraek]

Women want him; men want to be him. :D Total agree.

[@douglascampbell9809]

It's easy for men to want to be him when the MCU edits out many personal demons, most notably his addiction to alcohol.

RDJ is a very talented actor who got into trouble multiple times with drug abuse when he was younger. In the comic books, Tony Stark was an alcoholic. Iron Man is the perfect role for RDJ.

Yinsen is the MVP for doing all that knowing he intended to die so he could be reunited with his family.

They kidnapped Tony to make the weapons because only Tony can make the weapons. He designs, sketches, assembles and tests them for QA before he introduces them for military demos. Tony is 100% hands-on.

I'm confident you'll have some fav characters along the way. Enjoy and welcome to the MCU.

My favorite "secret" in the movie. (and the one thing that Tony has nostalgia for).. his robot helper? At 4:45 in the movie, he built it at age 17 and won a prize with it. Kept it ever since.

To me the proof that tony got his hands dirty even before the cave was him tinkering on the car engine before 7am

[@DuendeTortuga]

Still one of my top MCU favorites, and from your reaction I'm sure you're going to absolutely love the first Avengers, looking forward to it!

[@danielmorency2242]

Before the MCU, I already knew about Spiderman (because of the other older movies), and Hulk (because of the very old tv series). I kind of heard about Iron Man... But that was it. Then THIS MOVIE (Iron Man) came out, then boom. I've been hooked for life. What a great intro into this fantastic world... You'll love it.

[@shadearca]

To be fair Ironman was never a popular character before the movies. His comicbooks were never selling well and he was actually quite hated for many of his actions (like Civil War, which in the comics Tony is very much on the wrong side eg forcing the cure on mutants). The movies changed the character's trajectory.

[@michaelccozens]

@@shadearca Yeah, it was a smart move by Marvel to start small. Outside of a very select group of fans, nobody gave a shit about Iron Man, or even knew he existed, for the most part, so if they screwed-up, no huge deal. Contrast with DC, who went straight for Superman and corkscrewed into the ground with a vengeance.

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

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.

[@doug3691]

Welcome to the beginning of the Marvel Saga. And even as a man, I feel that this was an excellent film and character to start it with. (Though, technically, The Incredible Hulk [also 2008] was the first.) Also loved your reaction when he said at the end, "I am Ironman."

You may know that in the comics Tony made his identity as Iron Man public a long time ago, but he had the secret identity thing going on for a long time, with the cover that Iron Man was his body guard (who was never around Tony). The secret identity thing doesn't make sense for many heroes. Especially someone with an ego like Tony Stark. I always think of the lines from Community. "Are you Superman?" "No" "Would you tell me if you were Superman?" "I'd tell everyone"

@@PhilBagels Dafuq do you mean "And it's better to be on Tony's hands"?

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.

As a Marvel fan myself, I'm excited for you to see the Marvel movies.

[@c-mc]

Every MCU movie except 1 so far have post-credit scenes so make sure to stick around

[@Syd_Smith]

Wow I just finished watching someone else’s MCU reactions and then you just show up on my home page. Perfect timing

[@JW666]

Yay, Blue is on the MCU wagon! 😃

[@charlesphillips7822]

Must admit it's strange to hear people have not heard of these movies or even people that have not watched them. It's fun watching their reactions seeing what happens. Seeing if they'll respond the same way you did when you seen it for the first time yourself. I am iron Man. Love the song too iron Man

[@JedHead77]

Every fan has their beginning…and you have two months to catch up, until the latest one comes out in December. 😉 Just make sure to watch through the end credits (some films have two scenes: one during and one after), and check out the Marvel One Shot short films under the extras on Disney Plus, to give you a bit more background and side stories to the MCU.

[@thisguy1520]

Weird Science is a fun movie, with a glimpse of Robert Downey Jr., just getting his start in movies.

[@ldkinbote]

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.

[@TrixyBlue]

3 movies in and I can't wait for the rest!!

[@dannymartial7997]

HELL YEAH! I can't wait to see all the MCU reactions.

[@ZandrickKrowe]

“I’m here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.” And the rest was history.

[@mauriciocubillos3041]

welcome to the family!!!!

[@tdrewman]

One of these movies I will not forget. It was my birthday, we celebrated at the Hard Rock and afterwards we all went to see this movie. Me and 10 of my coworkers.

[@Darth_Nihilus_Sith_Lord]

IT HAS BEGUN!!! ❤️

[@CloneByDesign]

I forgot how violent this movie was. Terrorism, torture, burning people to death. Wild stuff. Guess the later movies aren’t much less violent but they’re more fantastical which takes away from the impact of the violence.

[@NativePride4051]

Blue... no one is going to be mad if you already seen some movies. Just be honest with us and say I seen this one a long time ago. That way you can relax and not feel so pressured.

[@jeffburnham6611]

agreed. No one gets into doing reactions with the thought I can't ever watch any movies because then I cant give a first time reaction. It's inevitable that at some point you've likely seen a few movies.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

Yeah, she'd already seen LOTR and those reactions turned out great.

[@aaronboone8097]

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.

[@relic1701]

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 :)

[@marks2807]

"Does he sleep?" By what I understand most really successful people only on average get like 4 hours of sleep a day. I think they subtlety put that aspect into Tony Stark.

[@robdom91]

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...

[@dd-ye2zq]

In the novelisations it actually says that Tony hardly sleeps and most of the time he ends up spending days working in his garage without sleep because he gets so into the work he doesn't notice the passage of time.

[@Scott_Burton]

By "someone to guide me through it" you wouldn't happen to mean Magy, the adorably cute bundle of enthusiasm that seems like she's about to erupt like a volcano in most of her intros, would you?

[@spidersj12]

Of all the times I've seen friends or online reactors watching this movie, I've never heard anyone say, "wait, there's only room for one person in that suit"... epic phrase of the day!

[@geoo9954]

Ya I’m so glad. U got started on the marvel universe. Ur going to fall in love with so many characters. Love u blue. Keep up the good work. 💙💙💙

[@steveross2649]

"I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair" Classic Stark. Lucky, lucky bast....

[@trayolphia5756]

9:04 it’s called a nasogastric tube…it goes up the nose and down the throat into the stomach. They aren’t that much to take out since being in the stomach…where the stomach acid is… Yeah, they burn…I know this from experience…

[@gerstelb]

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.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Funny, I was just thinking how much Tony Stark's character arc parallels RDJ's own life story.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

What was wrong with Chris Evans' Human Torch? He was great in that role.

[@sersastark]

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.

[@neverstopgrowing728]

"Everyone be acting tough until the flamethrowers start throwing... flames..." 🤣

[@CiaoBoy44]

Blue, your reactions in this video and your other previous ones have been adorable. You are going to enjoy this series so much as it only gets better and better.

[@godmagnus]

Came for the hair, stayed for the accent.

[@piratehunter1]

The tube is known as a NG tube. It is placed in the stomach to prevent vomiting for some patients.

[@avader5]

I absolutely love your reaction. Some of these people that react to the marvel universe are so boring, but not you, you are a lot of fun!

[@nalkarauke]

Yinsen saying don't waste your life hits so much harder after the end of the infinty saga

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"I wish _I_ was a genius billionaire." Don't we all... 😝

[@jonathanross149]

Tony Stark has a crazy amount of charisma.

How do I become a KZbin member I’m subscribed but can’t find the join buttons for membership

[@elimartin4686]

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! ✌️🤙

[@michaelccozens]

You might also enjoy "Swingers". Kinda '90s, but a lot of fun. Never quite got the credit it deserved, I thought.

[@SC457A]

I waited on watching the movies myself. I saw a few like the Iron dude movies, the Hulk, and a few more, but then I decided to watch each one in true timeline order. It has been fun. I am at the Black Panther stage (for those that know the timeline).

[@Greybeardmedic]

You will very much enjoy the entire Ironman/Avengers journey. Its epic.
