[@TheNitroG1]

I was more bothered killian healed after being blown up INSIDE A SUIT. That was actually a pretty fitting bad guy death. Until they ruined it with a "he's not dead cliche" just to be killed moments later by a different explosion that would have done far less damage to his body because it was in front of him and not completely surrounding him. You can tell it was added in after the fact just to give pepper a "kickass female moment" because they undermined their internal logic completely.

[@Dead25m]

@@TheNitroG1 The logic is that he can only strain the body to heal a certain amount, he was severely injured after Tony's blow up and therefor couldn't survive another blast again. Besides, the armament that Pepper kicked at him is a more powerful blow than the suit. Though I do agree that his first possible death looked better, however I can't fault them for what they went for, it kind of worked and Pepper got a taste of the real hero-gig, which leads to future stuff being more acceptable.

[@NJH01]

Considering I didn’t know who the Mandarin was I loved the twist

[@pebblesanddirt]

Careful with the generalizations there - I’ve been reading Marvel comics for 35 years, and I thought the Mandarin twist was genius. Was really hoping they wouldn’t use the racist stereotype Mandarin. And considering we saw The Ten Rings terrorists in the first movie, and Shang-Chi will deal with the Ten Rings, they’re keeping the idea of Mandarin around.

[@flatebo1]

@@pebblesanddirt Yeah, I liked the whole fake Mandarin thing. There are some aspects to the comics that you really can't afford to change all that much. And there are others that you can just go totally a different direction with. The MCU guys have been pretty good at figuring out what they need to keep and what they can change.

[@TheGorignak]

The Mandarin was played by Ben Kingsley, a multiple award winning actor best known for his portrayal of Gandhi.

A great actor. Another "must see" : with Ben Kingsley and Sigourney Weaver in "Death and the Maiden" by Roman Polanski.

[@juliodavila424]

At first, I didn't like the idea of a "powerless" Mandarin. Just give him ten alien rings, ffs! Then Kingsley really won me over with his portrayal, and then he completely flipped the script and I loved it even more. I know many people didn't like IronMan 3, but I enjoyed it a lot.

" Even Ironman Can Work From Home " i need this on a T-shirt

[@explody7836]

Many of the problems you complain about Tony having in this movie are the result of his ongoing struggles with PTSD -- the anxiety attacks, lashing out and doxing himself. IT's not really a "grow up" thing, it's a combination of his personality as someone who has never met a challenge he couldn't defeat head-on and some good old fashioned trauma

[@JakkFrost1]

Thank you, that irked me.

[@noodle_fc]

It need not be only one or the other. Let's face it, Tony Stark is not an emotionally mature person. He is slowly-slowly-maturing, but he's been immature since we met him. They could hardly have made it more obvious. Think about the very first things we see the character do, back in Iron Man. Shooting craps in Vegas instead of accepting an award in front of people who are important to his business; keeping Rhodey waiting on him for hours at the airport; then pressuring him to get drunk on the flight when they're meant to be working. He's not a dependable person. He's not someone you'd trust to address important issues. Like, his immaturity is in many ways Tony's defining characteristic. In every single movie, his arc has to do with working on some aspect of himself, some way he deals with the world that needs to change. You could yell, "Grow up, Tony!" at just about any Marvel movie and not be wrong.

[@BrokenGodEnt]

@@noodle_fc I see what you mean, but the first situation in which she said he needed to grow up was during his panic attack, because of his PTSD. Saying "grow up Tony!" in that context seems a little dumb imo.

[@noodle_fc]

​@@BrokenGodEnt I can see how those dots don't necessarily connect. Maturity is often on my mind when watching Tony. As much as I like the character for all his good qualities, I spend a lot of time low-key ticked off at him for his flaws. (Even though a hero without flaws can be very boring, and a protagonist's flaws often drive a story's narrative.) So for me, I interpreted Natalie's comments not only in the immediate context of the anxiety attack, but also the larger picture of, oh, Tony has PTSD _and-surprise, surprise-he's not attempting to address it responsibly._ I'll grant that if you're not already in a judgey headspace, "grow up" would seem out of order.

[@explody7836]

@@noodle_fc I want to mention that I don't think it is "one or the other." His immaturity is what leads to his impulse control issues, but those impulse control issues are compounded by his PTSD. This kind of anxiety is a new creature to Tony. His fight or flight response is already skewed to begin with, but with major panic attacks in the mix? It's a perfect storm.

It's ok you didn't watch this on Christmas. Movie actually came out in May.

[@Leon-wz1js]

I agree. There's a difference between a "chistmas time" movie and a "christmas theme" movie. Christmas time movie, the time of the year is merely a footnote to the overall story. Die Hard, foot note. Home Alone, footnote.

[@spiderhamilton1]

@@Leon-wz1js Yeah the Christmas theme is not a footnote to Home Alone. It's the impetus for the family vacation and the character arcs for the Kevin and the neighbor. Christmas is integral to Home Alone

[@Leon-wz1js]

@@spiderhamilton1 I'm sorry, Greg, I disagree. The point of a Christmas theme story is for the protagonist to go through a journey of self discovery throughout. The journey for Kevin and the neighbor takes place in five, minutes combined. On his own, Kevin lives like a rockstar, showing how well he DOESN'T need his family, feeding himself, taking care of burgulars, then having a fleeting moment where he thinks about his family. Christmas was simply the reason for the family to travel on a holiday. It could have been any other time of year. Thereby, Christmas was just a footnote, and it wasn't about Christmas.

[@spiderhamilton1]

@@Leon-wz1js By your logic, It's A Wonderful Life isn't a Christmas movie. I think you miss the part where Kevin helps his neighbor or the point of the movie, family a central theme of the Christmas season

[@maniac7770]

@@Leon-wz1js Except it also wasn't, because part of the reason Marv and Harry were hitting the neighborhood at all was because, as Harry had scouted out in his police uniform, so many families would be away for the holidays. Additionally, the personal growth for Kevin does occur through the movie, because the point wasn't just his reconciliation with his neighbor, but also his realization that he didn't mean that he never wanted to see his family again. Kevin talking with old man Marley was just the culmination of that part of the journey: seeing someone who got what Kevin wanted, but realized that it wasn't worth what would be lost. I would argue that Christmas, in that sense, is actually all the more integral to the Home Alone movie because it's supposed to be a time of togetherness, of being able to be with those you love, and if the movie had happened at some other time of the year, that message wouldn't hold nearly as much pertinence as it did.

Remember how freaked out you were about Tony trashing his house? Well every time he did he upgraded during the repairs. Last time he installed a vault underneath the house that was undamaged by the AIM attack. Cleaning crews, clearing the wreckage uncovered the Vault (I don't know how you missed the scene), allowing JARVIS to access the House Party Protocol. Behold, *The Iron Legion.*

[@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328]

As always, great job Natalie!

[@jogvanjakupsson2952]

It’s sweet to see you care so kuch about Tony’s mental health!

[@dwilborn1257]

I'm wondering if Tony doxed himself or not. Maybe Natalie can clear that up once or twice in the video.

[@sherrysink3177]

"Even Iron Man can work from home!" totally cracked me up. :D

[@phoenixforce6595]

Excellent. I've been waiting forever for your next MCU adventure. Another great reaction Nat.

[@GreatSpaceToaster]

"You got a minute to live, fill it with words." "Stop stopping, get her outside." "I seem to do quite well for a stretch, and then at the end of the sentence I say the wrong cranberry." "I've also prepared a safety briefing for you to entirely ignore." "Well, I panicked, but then I handled it." "Honestly, I hate working here, they are so weird." Shane Black knows his way around a one-liner.

[@TedBrogan]

I would say your 2nd to last example also benefitted significantly from the actors delivery. Kingsley had fun with this, no doubt.

Based on your comments from this movie, I'm going to tell you without spoiling anything that you are going to have a very good time on your journey through all the MCU movies. Love, love, love your reaction videos. Thank you and have a great day.

[@justinchavis7764]

Skip to 8 minutes if you want to watch when she actually starts watching the movie

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

yes, that was a little bit of annoying being so long. 4 minutes tops would be good, but then again I can fast forward.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

A not so subtle thing about this and Spiderman Homecoming is "if you're nothing without the suit then you're nothing."

[@TedBrogan]

Oh man, she is going to LOVE Homecoming!

I haven't been on this channel too long. But to see her have a good amount of subs and a sponsor, she's come a long way so far!

[@JakeToll37]

[@Torterra625]

This is definitely the best Iron Man movie after the first one.

[@joeblankenship377]

Agreed. Mickey Rourke was such a blah villain in part 2.

[@jasonpratt5126]

There's an extended joke scene in the deleted scenes from this movie, where Rhodes and Trevor are riffing on the idea of him being an actor, and Rhodes telling him to prove it by doing different accents. Which he does. It's hilarious!

[@FireflyMyLife]

"Even Iron Man can work from home!" ahaha! - Excellent viewing! I think I remember that right after this the TV series Marvel's Agents of Shield premiered, and it has some Easter eggs and tie-ins to the movies, including this one. Such a great show, and my favorite composer, Bear McCreary, does the music :)

[@teigannyman196]

Also, this time, it kinda was different with his villains. This one was kinda one of tin man Tony's inventions, except this wasn't actually an invention, it was actually created from his arrogance. So, yeah, you got something slightly different this time.

[@imisinjan]

The actor who plays the mandarin is the legendary British actor Sir Ben Kingsley.

[@davidbergfors6820]

YAY! Nat continues the trip down the MCU! I am here for it!

[@rockabye274]

Nice job on this one. I also enjoyed this movie; it's one of my favorites in the MCU. It has a plethora of "twists and turns" and Tony has to find creative ways to extricate himself from some very perilous scenarios.

[@javieryanqu5919]

the people hate this movie, because of the mandarin. But for the point of view of people who didnt knows the comics, its a great movie, good twist and killian is a great villan, the plan is good too. I really like this movie, but i understand the people who hate this one.

[@andrewe2057]

There's a difference between people who *know* the comics and people who *read* the comics. I've talked to many who have been reading comic books for decades and they are used to characters being reimagined completely differently every so often. So for them, the villain bait and switch is something they're accustomed to and most of them really enjoyed it. The people who complained the most were people with roughly my relationship with comics, which is that I have spent about 20x as much time reading wiki articles about characters and events than I have actually reading comic books. For people in my boat, I think the reason they get upset is that they have no plans on reading the comic arc, but they'd like to be told that story and shown that villain who is so iconic and loved by the people who DID read it. So I understand. But I get why they decided to reward the comic readers in this instance.

[@lucyehmann1526]

Natalie: It's okay, he's going to be fine. We're in a movie, Pepper. Also her: TONY HURRY UP, TONY COME ON! ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

I liked your laughter, your reaction to everything that happens throughout the film. I would like to note that I liked your reaction to the nightmare of Elm Street the most.

28:10 Tony lost the upper portions of the house, but the Armor Vault survived. Once the heavy lifting was done, the telepresence unit Tony wears allowed him to summon the suits en masse.

[@Atlas_Redux]

[@Low_on_nothing]

People who watch movies probably like the Iron Man 3 more than people who read comics. People were a lot outraged about The Mandarin, because in comics he’s a one of Iron mans major villains.

[@slayer45670]

I have too many opinions about adaptations of comics, books etc. honestly those people need to stop and let movies do what they need to. A lot of things in written media don’t translate anyways. Adaptations are meant to emulate the source material closely for a new audience, not a shot for shot remake for already existing fans

[@slayer45670]

Idk, I’m a comic book fan and movie fan but I have to keep my love for them separate to enjoy them both fully

[@joeblankenship377]

I'm fine with them reigning in some of the magic stuff when they can.

[@ninjanibba4259]

If people don't get that the MCU isn't comic accurate on purpose by now....idk what to say to them but to get over it

[@TedBrogan]

Also because at the time, comic book readers had no idea Marvel would be doing Shang Chi and the 10 rings.
