      "I am Iron man the suit and I are One." Isn't that similar to the phrase from the Lion king 2 Simba's Pride "We are One!!"
      Well the suit doesn't make ironman a super heroes(he has a very advance mind like Peter Parker fighting for the "little guy" taking responsibility when others would lack money,resources and above all knowledge and the vision to use it. As from what I read in the comics any One can build the suit and anyone can Dawn The Mantle(there's quite a few to be honest) but not everyone can be a Spider-Man or Captain America(both of their origin stories are not like other heroes) one version no can access the spider man powers except Peter and that's cause his dad "bio encrypted" the abilities only to their bloodline. Steve Rogers condition was will power and a good heart(not everyone can survive radiation like he could) most of the test subjects would be either dead or they would be so uncontrollable to the point of going mad or crazy. Most of the things that happen with any of this Marvel Heroes were as followed: trauma,gene therapy,natural selection, or being "bestowed with a gift." Nothing more of less..

      Also Shanelle, you fellate Top Gun, but it's LITERALLY a US Airforce/Army/Military recruiting propaganda. Not saying it's bad, I'm actually VERY pro-Us Military (just not at the moment because it's weak and woke infected) and love the Top Gun films. Yet for a woman with a rather childish view on weapons manufacturing morality, seems rather contradictory to be so into films where character or piloting vehicles that have napalmed whole forests of like Vietnamese villagers lol. Did you forget that, Shanelle. They're not just cool for flying around, they're made to KILL!
      Also Shanelle I want to ask you a genuine question: If something like what happened to Poland on September 1st 1939 were to happen to Canada, say one day America just randomly decides to surprise invade? How would you want your government to react? Peace talks aside because in both reality on sept 1st 1939 and this hypothetical, the invading force(s) are not stopping and their goal is SOLELY the capture of your country, how would like your government to react?

    Fun bit of movie trivia, Shanelle: as a fan, they actually condensed about 60 years of the character into the opening scene. Stan Lee made Tony Stark/ Iron Man to see if he could make an unlikeable character likeable. In the 60s everybody was anti-war in Vietnam, so he made Tony Stark an alcoholic, womanizing, playboy arms manufacturer. The original comic was in SE Asia, but he was aided by a guy named Yinsen. With the suits, the suit he breaks out in looks like the original appearance back in the 60s. You see him update his design on his computer as he's refining it.

      actually, stan lee could not have made tony stark an alcoholic back in 1963 no matter how much he may have wanted, because of the comics code authority in effect since 1954. the code barred depictions of drug and alcohol use but gradually relaxed during the 70s, finally expiring in 2011. it wasn't until 1979 that the idea that tony had a drinking problem was first broached.

    I'm a life-long comic book fan, and I can tell you that coming out of this movie (because, of course, I saw it opening day) I had a smile on my face that lasted at least a week. It captured the essence of the character, told a fantastic, updated origin story, and set up the larger world we would see with upcoming movies. In my opinion, there are so many more hits than misses with the MCU that I don't think you'll mind sitting through these "superhero" movies. The characters are just too good.

    Robert Downey Jr actually requested the burger king ad placement himself. As the story goes, once when he was handing substance abuse problems, he stopped by Burger King to have a burger but when he ate it, it was supposedly really bad due to said substance abuse problems. The fact that he could enjoy a simple burger from a place he enjoyed made him really pause and rethink his life, and he decided he was going to really get past his issues with drugs. Reportedly he actually burnt the drugs he had or something like that. He enjoys burger king and gives them a lot of credit for turning his life around, and they give him a card that lets him eat at any burger king in the world for free.

    Perfect reaction!!
    I was a marvel fan as a teen in the nineties, but mostly focused on Spider-Man and the X-Men books, with most "familiarity" of Iron Man occurring almost solely from team-ups, cross-overs and cameos... if I hadn't acquired my uncle's teenage comic book collection (mostly from the eighties) which included a complete original Marvel Universe Encyclopedia series and a small handful of actual Iron Man and Avengers books, I'd have known next to nothing about Iron Man.
    Prior to the MCU beginning with Iron Man, Marvel fans had been treated to several Spider-Man and X-Men films (and the Blade trilogy)... which I thoroughly loved, and couldn't wait for more, since they were my childhood faves... so when Iron Man was being released, never having been invested in his character, I wasn't terribly enthused, and didn't have high expectations...
    And I was blown away. Downey Jr. was amazing as Tony Stark, the effects were as close to perfect as it gets, and the movie was faithful (enough) to the character and his origins, with more than adequate writing and acting... it truly was a joyous surprise to watch this film for the first time... and still remains one of my favorite superhero origin films to this day!
    Favereau really did a stellar job bringing this story to the big screen AND serving up a feature that respected it's built-in Marvel fan base while making it perfectly palatable for audiences unfamiliar to/uninterested in the character and genre...
    And your reaction proves it's still got it 😘

    They did a good job updating the origin. In the comic book since it was the 1960s, Stark is captured and injured in Vietnam. It only makes sense to set it in Afghanistan as that was the current battlefield. He does have an assistant/friend who dies trying to give him time to charge the armor.

    From here through Endgame is a phenomenal run of unreasonably entertaining popcorn action movies.

I get a bit detached in the later films when the CGI takes over a bit much for me, but by then I am so engaged in all of the MCU characters that I love it all. After Endgame, well, everybody's mileage varies from that point.

    A lot of people only know Paltrow from this 'secretary' role and the too-easy cheap-shots made at her and her company, and that's too bad. Having seen her work for years in movies, I'd say she brought so much to this one character than any other person in the movie. It just looks so easy, if effortless, but the mannerisms she brings in each scene is, I'd say, hypnotic.

    It's so funny now that Iron Man was the face of Marvel for over a decade, because he was such an obscure character when the movie came out. Marvel was bankrupt in the 90s and sold the movie rights to their popular franchises (Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four) so they were forced to use their lower tier characters to build their movie franchise. But it also meant the audience didn't have any pre-conceptions, they weren't comparing this version to a previous one.

      Yeah, like, the Avengers were pretty much _all_ that Marvel had left after the comic book bubble burst, though I wouldn't call them "lower tier". They were pretty big characters for Marvel and comic books, probably A or A- on a tier list, solidly bankable because people were, at least, _aware_ of who characters like Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and Captain America were, but not as deeply embedded in pop-culture knowledge as Spiderman or the X-Men

    The characterizations and story style took over.

    The cinematic universe was not a thing back then. Kevin Smith and Star Trek were like the only shared universes, and both had ended years before this flick came out. It was a huge gamble with no guarantee that it'd work, and no practical blueprint to work from really.

A bit like Tony's cover story was that Iron Man is his body guard in the comics for decades. That was going to be his cover in the movie, it's a great nod that now changes everything. This happens so much, keeps it fresh for comic readers whilst pretty faithful for all. Also so much great casting, great reaction too
