He tried to give Jon Favreau a nice pay cut too as well as forcing him to make the movie in less time than he wanted to meet a release date. He came close to walking away. Since they weren't making 9 picture deals back then Robert Downey Jr was able to negotiate himself a pretty sweet deal once Ike was out of the way.

I was a freshman in high school when Iron Man 1 came out, and I remember it coming out and seeing like a Times article calling Iron Man a B lister. I definitely had no idea who he was. I hadn't read many comics, and my exposure to Marvel were the the 2000s movies, the X-Men Evolution cartoon, and the Ultimate Alliance games, and I never cared for him in the games. Similarly when the Cap movie was announced, I thought it would never work because I thought he was such a stick in mud and goofy looking character. Then when Chris Evans was announced, I thought it was a ridiculous casting because Evans' whole claim-to-fame as an actor was essentially playing renditions of The Human Torch (snarky and attractive womanizers), and yet now Evans and Cap are far and away my favorites.

@@li-limandragon9287 Right - this is how professional law enforcement or military organizations etc. (even non-trigger-happy ones) operate in hostage situations, when they're facing people with military weapons who're willing to kill, etc. The MCU has generally followed this principle, while showing the heroes generally being against shoot-first-ask-questions-later or warmongering attitudes (cf. the Helicarriers in Winter Soldier, mass-produced Iron Man suits, the plot of Black Panther, etc.). It makes sense since the MCU often places characters in effective or literal war situations rather than just having them fighting lone supervillains (cf. Captain America fighting in WW2, Tony Stark intervening in the Ten Rings' ISIS-style conquests, the plots of all the Avengers team-up films). This was partly why I found all the hand-wringing in Jupiter's Legacy about one of the heroes killing a seemingly unstoppable supervillain to be absurd and unrealistic.

[@ADSheehan]

More than any Marvel movie before it, Iron Man made an effort to ground the setting in reality. Watching it, you felt like the tech wasn't that far off, that everything happening could actually happen in real life. Marvel kept this grounding through many of its movies. Even the magical stories like Thor and Dr. Strange explained the magic away as "science" or the properties of the mind, respectively. (This is why the Snyderverse had so much trouble getting off the ground. If the MCU is sci-fi, the Snyderverse is mythic fantasy, dealing with gods and powers and intense formalistic symbolism. But people expected it to be like the MCU.) Anyway, I think it worked brilliantly for the MCU, and came to define the entire genre.

13:28 What's important there is that in all honesty in this movie its really only Tony not taking it that seriously, everyone else is basically dead serious for most of it outside of a few moments, and I think that works well for it. When EVERYONE treats it like a joke it really takes you out of the world, but when a guy who, in universe, seems to be joking at least in part to deal with a lot of emotional stress isn't taking it that seriously it helps keep it grounded.

Another thing this movie established that more or less stuck around for most of the rest of the MCU: doing away with secret identities. With very few exceptions (Spiderman, and Daredevil if you count the Netflix series), most characters if they're not just using their normal given name, may at most be using a title or spy agency code name, but otherwise almost everyone is just going by or known by their normal identity most of the time.

[@encycl07pedia-]

That's only because most of the interactions don't involve civilians. Outside of Tony Stark (who outed himself on TV) or heroes that don't have secret identities like Thor or most of the Guardians of the Galaxy, they're referred to by their hero name in public. Even behind closed doors some heroes like Captain America (Cap) and Hawkeye are still referred to by their hero name often. Pretty much every Earth hero still has a secret identity.

Spoilers for phase 4: John Walker did press tours when he assumed the Captain America title, and it was no secret who Sam Wilson was either, as Falcon or as the next Cap. They even make a point of noting that Wanda had no fancy super hero alias or code name till the end of WandaVision dubs her the Scarlet Witch. The idea of a secret identity being a closely guarded secret, and all the typical tropes usually associated with them are almost completely eschewed.

After 10 years of seeing Don Cheadle, it's always weird watching Iron Man and seeing Terrence Howard as Rhodey. It's still good, but upon rewatches you wonder what could have been or you forget that it's supposed to be the same character. I don't know if you could get away with a recast in Marvel movies these days, even for just a one movie appearance. There's James Rhodes, Bruce Banner, and Red Skull, but you forget that Red Skull even is a recast, so it's really just those first two, after that, if you played a character, you're that character for life. It's wild.

Ben throwing shade at Mason for mishearing crops is amazing. Keep it up Ben!

All film studios since 2008: "MARVEL WAS ABLE TO BUILD A FRANCHISE IN A CAVE... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

You know what, I'm fine with the helicopters and stuff being CGI'd now. Relying less on the Department of Defense has been to the benefit of these movies. They made Jon Favreau take a reference to military suicides out of the movie. Now that it seems they need them less, they're more lenient with the scripts. Could you imagine them letting a character like John Walker into these movies back in 2008? It'd be impossible.

I had such a crush on RDJ when I saw this movie at 11, i am now 24 he was and is very handsome

I know you guys have your problems with playing videos games for Caravan of Garbage (that we won’t get into here) but I would love for your guys to play the Iron Man movie games one day. I have always said the Wii/PS2 version of the first one is just okay. And the second one is well just not great.

Just found out my subscription also has their youtube videos. So thats nice.

Welcome to the club. We are better than everybody else.

[@JordanClark616]

I know you guys have probably already recorded for next week’s video, but I hope you guys talk about Chef (2014) with Iron Man 2. I feel like there’s a lot of parallels in Chef that can easily be applied to the critiques of Iron Man 2, as well as the studio interference and time constraints Favreau was under.

[@maismade6013]

They didn’t even talk about the movie step by step lmao they just talked about behind the scenes.

[@stickiedmin6508]

At this point, it's a fairly reasonable assumption that anyone and everyone watching already knows the movie inside out . . .

Iron Man/Tony Stark is still my favorite MCU Character

[@li-limandragon9287]

It always baffles me when people rag on Tony just because the egotism on the surface and don’t acknowledge his depths. He’s kind of fictional character Marvel does best, the flawed hero who improves himself along with world. Early Spider-Man comics are the same.

[@johnreynolds7996]

The thing I liked most about this movie was, well, a little thing. The moment I saw that Tony Stark was sharing his prison cave with Ho Yinsen I thought: you can't fool me, obvious double-cross coming up. And so I waited, and waited, and waited for the moment when Yinsen would do the dirty on Stark. And..... holy cow, no, I'm wrong, he is exactly who he says he is and... oh, crap, they've killed him and Tony is mighty pissed off. Expectations totally subverted; what more can you want from a movie?

Please next to cap series My opinion : the cap films is the best trilogy

[@li-limandragon9287]

To be fair, Cap’s trilogy wouldn’t have be as awesome without Tony and the rest coming in for the third.

[@chandy7072]

@@li-limandragon9287 I beg to differ , I love civil war but out of the three it’s my least favourite

[@li-limandragon9287]

@@chandy7072 Winter Soldier is in my top five but the then follow up Captain America Serpent Society wouldn’t have been as epic as Civil War. Russo Bros really made Cap’s trilogy the best. I do really like First Avenger but there’s something about the Russos directing that’s truly special.
