From Iron Man's anxiety in Iron Man 3 going back to his alcoholism in Demon in A Bottle, Marvel Comics and the many writers behind Iron Man have tried to portray Tony as a human being with problems of his own. Let's talk about it.

As someone who has PTSD, is an alcoholic and has read this story, I think you explained the beats in this story very well and explained why they matter in a very meaningful and non-obfuscated way. One of the things that all addicts (whether it be to drug, alcohol, sex, etc) typically use their addiction for is a coping mechanism for other life problems. By taking the time to point out that in the comic his problems did change while he was drinking, going through detox, and a bit of rehab, and explaining how (ie: they got worse) it really highlights the stories strength of its ability to pull from real world psychology and addiction intervention.

[@ZiplockBob]

Also, hello from Tennessee, nice to see someone else from appalachia here.

[@FancyGeeks]

Thank you so much. I really worried about misrepresenting things in this video, either by mistake or ignorance. I'm relieved that it turned out like it did.

[@FancyGeeks]

I lived in Tennessee a couple times as a child, never more than a year. It was this little town called McKenzie. It was a wonderful little place back in the 90s (I dunno about now). It had a nice little town square downtown with businesses around it.

[@ZiplockBob]

You did wonderfully, especially with taking the time to pull from various fields of study and insight. As long as you continue to do that, with a bit of hard work, luck, and humility you should be in the hundreds of thousands if not a million in about a year my friend. If you ever need to look at PTSD from a military standpoint, or have questions about the military for one of your ethics videos, by all means hit me up and I can share what information, resources and insight I can.

[@ot4kon]

so tony stark was robert downey jr before robert downey jr was tony stark.

[@FancyGeeks]

I never thought about it like that before but... yes.

[@GlennJimenez]

Art imitating life

[@AirborneSurfer]

While I wasn't a big fan of the plot of Iron Man 3, I felt a kinship with Tony Stark because of his anxieties and his alcoholism. The character was written and played marvelously while the plot was just lackluster. I think that's part of what I like about the character, though. Stark is relatable (except for maybe the billionaire part), right down to his glaring flaws.

[@natw42]

Came here from Comicstorian... like your vids and that intro had me genuinely lol-ing. Keep it up man!

[@FancyGeeks]

Thanks and welcome to the channel!

[@chasharper]

So Interesting to see the darker side of a hero great video as always

[@FancyGeeks]

Thanks man!

[@tylervermilyer3787]

Comicstorian is the reason I am subscribed to your channel I seen your video like an hour after it was uploaded and yes Tony Stark is an alcoholic

[@FancyGeeks]

I'm glad to have you here! And yeah, he certainly is. :)

[@LoreReloaded]

YAY! FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO.. TIME TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY!

[@FancyGeeks]

I'm glad you approve, good sir.

[@p1nesap]

Good job

[@FancyGeeks]

Thank you!

[@thefatheroflies7921]

Haha, my nephew just got me sicker than I've ever been! Kids. Can't live with 'em... Comics are such a great medium for telling important stories. Seeing Tony vulnerable likely helped a lot of people. I know themes in Martian Manhunter and Vision stories have shaped me some. And no one wants to see that, Steve!

[@FancyGeeks]

...and you just can't shoot 'em. I've considered some Martian Manhunter and Vision videos but I have so many ideas backed up I may never get to them. #SteveIsTheWorst

[@1001johny]

Really cool video.

[@FancyGeeks]

Thank you Johny. You're another person that's been with me for a long time. Thank you.

[@1001johny]

Sorry I'm late to the video. I really like your style and approach with your subject matter.

[@FancyGeeks]

Doesn't matter when you come, just that you do. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@whitejester]

Please make a video about the new Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales pair-up thing

[@metalman3093]

If you have enough material, you should make a video about Arno Stark, the Iron Man of 2020!

[@FancyGeeks]

That's a great idea! When people say "lack of material" I think "chance to go into detail". :)

[@septicbile2901]

Jays back!!! I'll get out of bed now.

[@FancyGeeks]

I know it's been a while but we got 1,226 new subscribers out of it. :)

[@JimmyCas]

Hey I know I’m 6 years late but this video just kinda ends mid sentence

[@FancyGeeks]

Thank you for letting me know! I recently used KZbin's editor to get rid of an outdated end a screen. Something must have gone wrong, I'll fix it as soon as I get back from work.
