So far, The Conjuring is winning... and I don't know how I feel about that...
-
Thanks for stopping by today, guys! :) These movie reactions have been so much fun! Love yall!
Watch "RRR"
Its the most entertaining movie of this year
Showing the everyday problems of superheroes and their personal interactions made Marvel comics more appealing to readers in the early 60s.
i absolutely am loving your reactions through this journey you have started, and i and so excited and pumped for you to react to The Winter Soldier after Thor the Dark World
Jackie Chan - police story, you won't regret it
😆 bro!!! If conjuring wins the poll, be prepared to be scared crapless, good luck lol
Tony proves in this movie "If you're nothing without the suit you shouldn't have it. " Even out of the suit he is Iron Man.
I've seen all of the movies, at least twice, and watched reactors view the entire series (at least 8 different reactors).
Hearing that concept, in this movie, reminded me of when we next hear it... and I've NEVER thought of it, before. Really enjoying your reviews.
Arguably, both Captain America and Iron man proved one another's jabs at each other wrong in their post-Avengers movies.
"Big man in a suit of armor... Take that off and what are you?" Pretty self explanatory.
"You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle" Cap proves he has the heart of a loyal hero even without fighting, as he shows he's willing to let Bucky kill him before fighting a friend.
@@smileyhappyface5864 They were both proved even more in Endgame when Tony obviously sacrifices himself to save the world and then Steve is worthy of Mjolnir.
@@randomdudez00This whole series is just every character probing their worth.😊😢❤❤
Passing it down to the next generation
Fun fact about Tony telling the kid, "I loved you in a Christmas Story, by the way." The actual kid from a Christmas Story (Peter Billingsly) was the engineer in the first whom Obadiah yelled at, "Tony Stark was able to make this in a cave!" and he replied, "Well, I'm not Tony Stark."
"WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!"
I think Peter Billingsley was also a producer in all the Iron Man movies
Not really fun.
@@ichiban308 likely. He's good friends with Jon Favreau. Iron Man wasn't the first time he had him play a small role in one of his films. He's the toy maker foreman elf in Elf for instance.
learn something every day
Can we talk about how good the kid is. He's playing OFF of RDJ like a pro.
I was expecting to see a dumb ass comment saying “what is a RDJ?
You should watch Real Steel
The biggest thing to take away from this is the impact that the Battle for New York had on Tony. He is not terrified by falling from a wormhole or seeing lots of fighting... he is terrified because he knows someone sent Loki and that was more like a scouting force than the actual army. He becomes obsessed with what is coming and defending the earth and those he loves from that threat. That fear, that knowledge drives EVERYTHING he does from here on out (arguable everything that happens from here on out).
Age of Ultron definitely hammers your point home when Tony has that vision.
Exactly
Iron Man 3 is such a underrated marvel movie
it is!
In the comics Pepper got a suit she called Rescue, civilians needed protecting during big battles, that was her role. She could fight in a pinch but as a Reserve Avenger she was used mainly as back-up & defence when the main team needed extra help.
Nice reaction. You definitely caught the theme of this one - "Tony isn't Iron Man, Iron Man is Tony." It also has some other key points in it. 1) Tony is fighting some heavy mental anxiety issues - a.k.a. PTSD. He knows Earth won a battle against aliens, but he is stressed out believing it may not be over. 2) The shrapnel is removed from his chest. He no longer needs the mini arc reactor to survive.
There are some continuity errors in this film that drops it a few points for me. Overall the good outweighs the bad.
Remind me what the continuity errors are pleeease
@@Chronal-Rendthe only one I can think of is destroying the suits and then having them back immediately for AoU. I enjoyed the movie regardless but it is kinda strange. It works better as a standalone sequel to The Avengers.
@@iamhawkeye3162 been a while since I have watched AoU, but I don't recall Tony having his suits back (MK 43, 44 and 45 do not count as obviously Tony is still Iron Man and needs his suits for the bigger threats), unless of course you are referring to the Iron Legion, which aren't suits, they are drones who's purpose is to help aid people in the midst of a battle when the avengers are too occupied to grant the safety of all civilians in the area.
Iron Man destroying his suits in this movie wasn't a case of him being done with making suits, as we are told multiple times throughout this movie, they were a distraction for him to escape from his trauma and PTSD from the battle of New York, him destroying his suits was meant to signify that he will no longer spend his time obsessively tinkering with his tech and mass creating suits to focus more on spending time with Pepper and that the only suits he will make are ones he actually needs. With MK42, the latest iteration being gone, his next suit was the MK43, 42's successor, which he needed for his team-up with the avengers, MK44 was already created as a weapon against the Hulk if it were to be needed, which in that movie, it was needed, and then lastly, MK45 was created to be more powerful than MK43 and be better equipped to take down Ultron.
It's not a continuity error.
This is a long read and I do apologise, especially more so since this comment is a year old.
Such an underrated movie, I love Iron Man 3 for the same reason. It’s humbling and enjoyable to see Tony go through normal people problems like having anxiety attacks. It shows that he’s just like everybody else.
Fun fact: The daughter of the vice president the one with the missing leg is in fact Jenna Ortaga who plays Wednesday
Ben Kingsley, who played the Mandarin, is one of the most skilled chameleon actors in history, and effectively ageless. He won an academy award for his portrayal of Gandhi in 1982. He was in his late thirties then, the age he appears to be in this movie. He was born in 1943 for God's sake, so just imagine how old he must have been in Iron Man 3! In his sixties! Almost 70! Dude's a legend beyond compare. There are so many movies I love him in.
The Vice President's motivation wasn't being evil, it was because he wanted his little girl to be able to be out of a wheelchair, since Killian's process could regrow lost/missing limbs. The completely wrong act for a noble-intended reason.
And very nice to see Yinsen again. Poor Yinsen.
Oh...and he's been knighted. Sir Ben Kingsley.
@@andypickle1584 and hes a salford lad
Ben Kingsley is a phenomenal actor, but he does not at all look like he's in his late 30s here
“What we needed was a suit of armor around the world”
Remember that quote. It only goes up from here my man.
In addition to the movies there are also Marvel One-Shots that were produced during Phase One and Two of the MCU that are all about 5-10 mins long. They aren't required viewing but I think you would really enjoy "All Hail the King" as it gives The Mandarin, aka the British actor Trevor Slattery, a bit more character development and ties the story between Iron Man and Iron Man 3 together a bit more.
No spoilers, but the “All Hail the King” one shot also come into play in a movie in phase 4 😉 not in a must see to understand way, more of a fun, oh yeah way 😁
Tony: I have to protect the one thing. You
Also Tony: tells the terrorists where they live
i also love how tony put up a christmas tree in his lab, especially because no one goes down there but him. he really put the effort to put a christmas tree and lights down there just for it to look pretty for him and i find that so wholesome for some reason
"Plants are way smarter than we give them credit for"
~Groot likes you
I get that it was because he was the villain that you were calling Killian a second-rate Brad Pitt but you should know that the actor's name is Guy Pierce and he is a fine actor who has made some great movies like The King's Speech, L.A. Confidential and Memento.
I'll take Guy Pierce over Pitt any day.
The reactor needs to expand his output to include some classy movies like "L.A. Confidential". Though it's possible it maybe too good for his outlook.
He was in a Australian soap opera Neighbours but the other big movie he was in with Hugo Weaving who played the villain In the first Captain American the movie I am talking about was The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. In marvel movies there have been a few Aussie like older Hulk movie was played by Erica Banner. Wolverine was Hugh Jackman. In the DC was Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. The other television series Guy was in was The Man from Snowy River.
And The Count of Monte Cristo!
In case you didint know, this movie was directed by Shane Black, the guy who wrote The Long Kiss goodnight, Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Nice Guys. He loves setting his stories at Christmas and he has perfected the buddy cop genre. He also loves using verbal banter between the two main protagonists. It is a recipe that works!
Special mention to the Kid who can be seen during Tony's funeral ... you may recall you wondered who he was. he was hard to recognise cos he was so much older.
I'd put this 2nd in the iron man trillogy behind the first movie ...and it was a breath of fresh air becuase tony had to do alot of the detective work outside the suit
Same and Harley for me made it even better. I'm a sucker for adopted child with grumpy mentor trope
If you notice, tony improves his suits in each movie based on past flaws.
...Because Tony learns from his mistakes)
The Extremis compound is a plot element developed a bit more in Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. THat show tends to tie in with the films in small ways, and I beleive it premiered about the time this film was released -- so if you care to view it, now is an ideal opportunity!
5:19 an interesting detail (not shown in the video) when they show Tony handing back the signed drawing he didn’t write his name. He wrote “help me”
Hey alex, back when mythbusters was on they tested the same thing with plants but also with music, and the plants that had metal/classical playing had a much faster and bigger growth than the other tests like pop. Always remembered that episode among many others from mythbusters
I've always really liked this one. For some reason, it's not popular among a segment of fandom, but for me, it's definitely in my top Marvel tier. And I loved that they addressed the stress on mental health that this kind of life would take, even on someone as flippant and kind of arrogant as Tony. It really humanizes the character, and the script handles it in a very graceful way. It was an interesting choice.
Also, I'm definitely in the Harley fan club. :D
Yeah it's still so confusing for me. When I first watched Iron Man 3 I went into it expecting a mediocre time but it ended up being one of my fav movies of all time.
As somebody who struggles with PTSD it really hit hard and well, Tony *is* Iron Man.
I forced my friends to watch this movie lol, it won them over. Have no idea why this had such bad word of mouth. To me its the best of the series and one of if not the strongest individual hero movies Marvel has to offer.
its because in the comics , The Mandarin is a fan favorite and theey "butchered" him according to fans@@ot7biasedmashups
They absolutely BUTCHERED the villains in this movie. But that's my only gripe
@@jason8897386 It's because of the whole Mandarin thing, there is nothing in this movie with 10 power rings, that was not Mandarin, this movie would have been a lot better if they had wrote it differently, but that is why it is tainted and mostly hated among the fandom, I like it a bit..but you know like I said..
Tony having PTSD and panic attacks is totally relatable. After everything he has been through, it really humanizes him to see the effects of all the missions and stuff from previous movies has had.
really cool to see a superhero be so relatable!
Did anyone else know that the kid was in the funeral at the end of end game but he's grown up now 😊
We all know that lol
“She’s high as Argyle in Stranger Things.” 😂 Oh man, that’s hilarious.
I’m so glad you love Happy! He’s one of my favorite characters.
This movie is SO underrated. It should be called "Tony Stark" instead of Iron Man, I love that we get to see his strengths&flaws outside of the suiy
Funny thing about this movie is when Tony goes to Miami, they ended up actually shooting in Miami. They did their shoot at Vizcaya, a mansion and art museum located in Miami and ended up closing the place for their shooting period! It made me happy to know they have shot MCU movies where I lived for most of my childhood!!
In the comics..
Ironman was a secret identity,
And Tony wasn't beyond just killing someone If he saw fit...
Tony used Extremis to heal his condition and destroy the metal fragments in his chest. He later removed Extremis to remove the power and possibility of corruption.
It's so dope watching someone genuinely react to the entire marvel universe for the first time especially when it's you my boy!!!
Fun fact: Tony telling everyone his address on national tv is actually a really great idea for a plot. Tony Stark is experiencing severe ptsd but to the rest of the world he’s an invulnerable billionaire who isn’t fazed by anything, so he not only says it to keep up appearances of being fearless, but also because he’s in denial of being afraid and trying to convince himself he’s not👍🏽
The suit is made from Titanium, one of the strongest and most expensive metals on earth, yet it's incredibly light weight.
thanks for that info!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault it's also a nonferrous metal meaning that it's not magnetic. So the whole Magneto vs Iron Man thing is ludicrous.
36:00 Not a stupid parallel at all! A great way to relate to the message of the movie. The very fact you understood the message so well shows you're quite intelligent, in fact. Seen many heads it went right over...
i’m a huge mcu nerd, and now hearing him talk about the real message of the movie about tony makes the suit not the other way around, changes my entire perspective on this movie
granted this was always my favorite iron man movie out of the three since the year it came out, but yeah it went right over my head
Glad you made this channel and went on this MCU journey!
thank you so much for the love!
The star of A Christmas Story, Peter Billingsley was a producer on all Iron Man films, so when Tony talked to the kid, it was rather meta.
I've already watched all these movies, but seeing you watch them for the first time is a lot of fun. looking forward to more!
Iron Man is is also my favorite character! I personally just love a good redemption arc
that's Guy Pierce, the actor from " the Count of Monte Cristo" and "Hurt Locker" :-)
I LOVE Iron Man 3. I love how funny it is and also unexpected.
17:53 22:32 I *love* Tony's suits/ tech, but it was *really* cool to see him fight w/out his suit to show how badass he is.
The human aspect that you talk about is Tony's PTSD from the avengers. The movie handles it pretty well but they do cure it a little easily.
Do they really cure Tony easily?
It could be argued that Tony is never really “cured” of his PTSD.
I am not even sure if someone can be cured 🤔
Tony has definitely learned how to manage it, but as future events and films will show, Tony is far from cured, at least that is my take away🤷♀️😁👍
@@cheshirekat528 my problem with it is that he no longer has the same detrimental effects. He does show some instability but his panic attacks and general anxiety are mostly gone. The paranoia that he shows in later movies is in line with how he was beforehand.
@@alistairgrey5089 fair enough
I love how you call Guy Pearce the Great Value Brad Pitt😂
Or the Brad Pitt from Wish! 😂🤣
After the 1st one, this is my favorite Iron Man... seeing Tony have to rely on Tony instead of Iron Man is awesome. Seeing Tony suffer anxiety attacks, fear, relationship issues, weakness... he feels so human, like one of any of us would. And it makes Iron Man so much more bad ass to have gone through that and realized he doesn't need the suit... because HE is Iron Man.
Iron Patriot is a reference at Norman Osborn. Is when norman became the leader of the dark avengers...he wore the patriot suit and went by that name.
These are so fun! You make Mondays a little more bareable. I actually have something to look forward to on Monday now. They only get better too!
I Love seeing all these great qualities in this movie that the majority of people overlook or don't catch when they critique Ironman 3.
means you smart!
These videos are always the best thing to watch to start the day/week! Always fills me up with the serotonin I need to get through my day. Iron Man 3 was actually my favorite Marvel movie of all time (Before Endgame and No Way Home) because it was just so good! Awesome reaction as always, buddy!!
Shane Black was the genius of writing this movie. He wrote some of the best action/comedy ever. If you haven't seen The Nice Guys, you should.
Now power through Thor 2 and the next many movies are some of the best! Winter Solider, Civil War, etc. is where it really gets amazing. Enjoying this journey with you!
It was funny watching this movie with ya. Now I'm watching all of the movies you posted up. 🤣
thank you so much!
I really enjoy your reactions. Based on what I've seen, you're a quality guy. Wishing you and your family all the best. Cheers!
same for you!
26:48 “why is that girl an amputee?” Lmaooo what type of question is that
29:10 I absolutely love the Scene when Tony calls all of his Marks to Fight!
Good stuff bro! CAN NOT WAIT FOR MORE MARVEL!!!!
I honestly think this is the best Iron Man movie. I really really enjoyed it. Loved your reaction aswell, one of the best out there!
thank you so much! :)
Yeh this wasn't too popular with fans when it first came out, but I was like you, in that I liked it as a change of pace and really loved seeing a movie with the theme of "if this character gets their power stripped from them, what are they actually like underneath?"
The comics would do this ALL the time, it would release issues where we just saw their human side and their life outside of superhero-land. This is a great movie. I love it too. :)
Casting Sir fcking Ben Kingsley in this role was one of the best casting in history...
Eiffel 65's Blue came out in 1998. Best time of my life until the day of 9/11 (the world changed after that day). 17 to 19 years old.
Literally subscribed like 3 days ago and I love the content keep it up 🔥💯👍
thank you so much!
The hype when I first saw the iron legion scene cannot be described
“If you’re nothing without the suit, you shouldn’t have it.”
This movie makes me think of a quote by Geto "are you Gojo because you're the strongest or are you the strongest because you're Gojo".
Reminds me when Snoop Dogs is accepting his Walk of Fame place and during his acceptance speech he says, “ I THANK ME, I appreciate me, I did the work, so I thank ME”. And that’s right, you created your channel and your the one did the work, it’s your personality that shines. People always thank everyone else but in all actuality Tony Stark, Snoop Dog, and yes Alex Hefner did the work. Great job.
Man I Can't Wait To See Alex's Reaction To Captain America 2!
In the early comics, AIM were sometimes as big a threat as Hydra.
Love that you examine the themes of these as individual movies. After Ultron is my favorite stretch gotta say
Harley Keener (The kid) makes one more appearance in the MCU which doubled my appreciation of what they accomplished. 😉
You really, really need to watch the Marvel One Shot "All Hail the King." Us fans of the Mandarin were .... very vocal about how terribly Marvel treated the character. This short story was an apology and a promise that the real Mandarin would make an appearance.
Dude I'm way late on watching your videos, but now that I am I got to say, they're extremely entertaining. Especially this one, making all the jokes about Aldrich Killian. I've literally laughed out loud every time. I was kind of having a rough day and your jokes made it better. Thank you
Welcome to Phase 2! Love your enthusiasm for the MCU. One fun bit of continuity to watch for in phase 2 is that in each movie someone gets an arm cut off. Killian in this one. It is a nod to Star Wars in that in the second movie (Empire Strikes Back) Luke loses a hand.
"Normally 2 and 3 are not a great movies"... You're gonna go crazy watching upcoming Captain America movies, man 😅
This is my favorite YT channel by far. I love watching your reactions!
Welcome to the family! I love that you’re a fan of the channel!
The kid that helps Tony reminds me of Sean Astin in "The Goonies."
I'm glad you understand the theme of.this movie. So many people don't like it or ask why he didn't just use all his suits in the beginning, but the whole time he stuck with Mk. 42 as a shell of armor to protect him and needing to prove that he didn't need all those others suits. Then by the end end he's like fuck it, i made them, i am iron man.
Yeah, this, and Die Hard, and Lethal Weapon, are on my Christmas Movie list.
"Plants are way smarter than we give them credit for". I am going to pretend you didn't say that!
lol
I saw this at the premiere in London just after meeting RDJ, the place went crazy laughing when they revealed The Manderin and an English Actor, still cracks me up
This movie is SO underrated. And I think it came up to have more sense as if advanced through the Spiderman Movies and the Man vs. Suit conflict. And it ended up as Peter making his own suit, no features or anything and coming to have to realize that SpiderMan IS Peter Parker, as Tony says at the end of this movie, as he IS Ironman, meaning he was successful on getting that into Peter.
First MCU Christmasy entry, but it’s not the only one!
Great job you’re the first person to recognize Yinsen , also if you haven’t seen Frailty I think you’ll love it
Fun video! I feel like it needs a little "OMG" counter in the corner. Every time Alex says "oh my gawd!" it should increment by one.
i love how banner is the only person tony respects enough to be his therapist
I think you nailed it.
Tony stark makes the suit, the suit doesn't make him.
He even says in Spiderman "if you're nothing without the suit you shouldn't have it"
"Well Jarvis what do you propose?!?" that was hilarious dude
Deadliest duo known to history, iron man glove in one hand, uzi in the other
So much fun watching you react to something we’ve loved for a while now. You’re such a joy to watch. I’m really looking forward to more Marvel movie reactions from you so.. please say you have a moderator!! Someone to catch those damn spoilers!
lots of fun!
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault Yes it has been!
This is one of the most underrated Marvel movies, people usually crap all over this, but I think it's a rather great movie. I was not in love with it coming out of the theaters back then, but the more I watch it, the more I like it. They say a movie is only as good as its villain, but this is a big exception, I don't care at all for Aldrich, I think he's a rather uninteresting and uninspired character, but it doesn't matter, because it's all about Tony in this one, it's more about his inner conflicts and character development, and it just works. It's fun, it's funny, it's great.
Man the part when all the suits showed up was so awesome!!
"seeing real life problems in a superhero movie" .... yeah that's pretty much been the secret to Marvel's success ever since Stan Lee started writing most of the comics many many decades ago. That's what made the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man so different from anything DC had going at the time.
Yeah, if you like Trevor Slattery's character, definitely check out "Hail to the King," a Marvel one shot. It's entertaining, and expands a bit more on his character.
And it connects to a movie in phase 4
🤐😉
Tony doesn’t need the arc reactor in his chest to power the suit. They have their own internal arc reactor since iron man 2
I agree! I loved this movie. So many online comments said, "oh, it's the worst one..." Bullshit. The humanity of Tony Stark in this movie was the WHOLE movie. I think RDJ should have gotten award nominations for this, at the very least.
You are totally right about the success of your channel. You really do make these videos great as in we love to watch you react and comment on these movies and music. Marvel is great for you because like metallica you dig into the subject and take note at the details. Dope stuff yo.
Crazy I remember when I first found you I was looking for people that first heard, Tribe Called Quest Electric Relaxation. And now you're catching up with the Marvel Universe. I see you kid! You'll get there. I love your search for brand new things in the culture. Being a hip-hop nerd and a comic book nerd! I've been there for like going on like the last 30 years. Welcome to the fold! I love, Always being in a place that appreciate fantastic things and fantastic art forms! You have taken your first step young Jedi we appreciate you! Now go forth and make s*** fantastic!
First off, love your energy in these reactions, Alex! Iron Man 3 does bring out a lot of emotion and depth in Tony Stark’s character, which is really fascinating. I totally get what you mean about that human side. You nailed it with how he struggles but also protects those he loves! Also, I have to share-while I think Iron Man is an awesome superhero, my favorite will always be Deadpool! His humor and unpredictability keep me hooked every time. Can’t wait to see your reaction to Thor: The Dark World next. Keep up the great work and stay awesome!
Movie's about to end..."NOW I KNOW WHAT THIS MOVIES ABOUT!!"😂
Just want you to know that this boy who helped Tony, attend to his funeral in End Game. That was awesome
Honestly, Marvell Mondays are something for me to wait through the week at this point ❤️
