Chef - A Movie REALLY About Iron Man 

Please make ben edits of all past videos I.e. just the clip where you appear

Make another channel

amazing essay Ben! An incredible analysis :) I'm a new subscriber - a fellow Canadian

Have you seen Chef?

2nd video of yours I've seen here on the channel, both of them phenomenal As much as I love this channels regular content, I think your talents are being wasted if you just spend all your time editing videos for the guys

Yeah and it has the most Easter eggs

@@shaquezr.9541 Because of the famous scene where they make easter eggs!

My name's chef

Still better than iron man 3

Gods Hand bruh it’s better than all the mcu movies no difficulty

This comment has 69 likes and that’s the only reason I’m not liking it

Who said this? 🤣

@@PittsburghSonido Ben (probably)

@@slashedthighs Fucking brilliant, mate.

My name chef?

"[...] just watch but don't see"

Viper Higgins is an avid movie review enjoyer?! Brilliant

nice thought, but have you seen chef?

Hash

@@tintinthereporter4391 first thing i wanted to write when i read the comment then saw you did it. nice

John Favreau is the unsung MVP of launching the MCU

Tom Cruise? what?

@@porc1429 lol yeah no shit. Tom Cruise is an incredible actor but he really would’ve fucked up the MCU

Kevin Feige was fighting for him, too. Ike Perlmutter was the true villain of the early MCU.

There's a deepfake of Tom Cruise as Iron Man video. It looks so cool.

Double Meta

guess you can say Ben and CHEF are the original odd couple

"my name a chef"

Mind blown!

They better mention this comment

Wish fulfillment

he could do better

@@grantezell9497 hell yeah he could

You know this MIGHT also include a little something something Scarlett Johansson has to say about choosing NOT to climb leg and rely on your actual acting skill instead. And that though love can bloom anywhere, sometimes the case is it ISN'T blooming. Sometimes it IS. Just in case people thought that whole mutual responsibilty theme just fizzled out into nothing when jsut the right conditions were met.

@@sboinkthelegday3892 he gave himself hot wives for the movie

I think that's supposed to be like "I am Iron-Man"

Can I have a hot dog boss?

Cause funny, my name Jeff

i mean, iron chef is a thing - it was right there for you

Yeah he was talking about Extremis in Iron Man 3

Seriously, I'm watching the video thinking, where's the Aussie accent?

@@owie4070 me too!!

I had forgotten I was watching a Mr. Sunday Movies video until he showed up...

It made it in the video, so I doubt Ben missed it lol But yeah, that's hint no.2!

I AM THE MANDARIN!

Later in the movie he literally says "I am Marvel's Iron Man 2 (2010)!”

I like people with long brain. I have long amount of disl*kes btw. Why? Maybe people with short brain disl*ke because jealous of my long amount of subscr*bers. Please have long brain, dear cae

@@AxxLAfriku I don't know maybe it's because you spam self promotion in other peoples comment sections. Deserved

I laughed so hard when he said "don't we, Mason" and Mason actually replied. I can't believe James himself has never come up with that gag.

You meant, Di Mandalorian season one? The other season was not even remotely as good ( excluding a couple of episodes, robbing of a ship, namely )

Mandalorian already fizzled out by episode 4. It's just kinda boring

I don't know about that last season though

This is what happens when James doesn't yell at him to get off his phone

Tbh Scarjo is too good. I bought into her and him so strong in the first act that I kept waiting for them to get together.

All the cast was good. Percy wasn't annoying at all, John Leguizamo's character is the friend we all wished we had, Favreau himself does a good job, etc.. Just such a solid movie. And as a guy who likes to cook a lot, really enjoyable for the actual chef parts of it too!

Scarjo is absolutely stunnning in this movie

My name chef

@@BigMikeMcBastard exactly. It was pretty relaxing and entertaining through out the entire thing but also had pretty good emotional impact and good cooking scenes. A solid 7 or 8 in my books

SAME! Is that legit or just talk lol

That's exactly why I'm in the comment section lol

Lmao I thought have gone on a deep dive to find the answer and idk

Still no answer, guys?

Yep

*have you seen chef?*

*have you seen chef?*

That's why we had Cake serie

@@connorxdrye8510 Chef? Hell yeah

Never understood why that was a meme for them haha

Lol

I'm happy that he is happy, however mandalorian has shit-tier writing and is pretty bad as the result

@@victorfox2972 ratio

@@victorfox2972 I disagree.

@@gljames24 the whole series was basically this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_lZHXuBXOUI.html

It’s always nice to find more Avatar haters!

Bruh, Ben's always been great

Ben's awesome. This just gives us further proof

Avatar for life!

He is editor king

I’m so lost. Is this actually his son? I feel like it isn’t

he isnt

Why did he say that?

Bruh I FELT this - when he started talking that way with 2 minutes left in the video I was like "Oh man, here it comes...." but thankfully, it never did.

It was surprisingly good

John Leguizamo characters always pull that shit. Yea great movie though!

@@VolTheProducer Jon wanted to show realistic characters. No one in the movie was actually a villain just people doing what they think is best.

Wow I never felt for a moment there wasn't anything other than love between those characters.

@@MrHeart12 Reason being, was because the movie was *so* feelgood and a bit sappy up to that point that my cynical self was all, "No way this lasts. His best friend will scam him". I'm glad he didn't!

I love where he's ended up. He's still picking up a big paycheque and working on a big franchise... but it's on something a lot more intimate and personal like The Mandalorian. And this had to be his choice to do too. It's kind of wild how this man went from blockbuster movie directing to showrunning. Normally that would be seen as a big step down but The Mandalorian is so amazing that this dude is gonna be beloved for it for generations.

Exactly because unlike other filmmakers who had falling outs with Marvel in their early years, he kept being creatively influenced as the role of executive producer and even plays a beloved reoccurring character.

I've been realizing the mediocrity and cookie cutter nature of the newer marvel movies, i completely agree with john wanting more creative freedom in these movies so im glad he isnt returning, I am a fan of mcu and still is, but if feige aint gonna let directors and writers completely take full control and stop using the stupid 3 act formula with the cg battle in the end and the corny jokes every few seconds, more and more people arent gonna watch it and be fatigued I watched jack howard and he mentioned something i completely agree on, The corny jokes worked for avengers because it was subversive for its time, you dont get that kind of superhero movies that don't take itself very seriously back then, but now mcu have rehashed this formula too much to the point that the subversive jokes becomes predictable and not subversive Anyway, I'm not feeling phase 4, they will be good movies here and there, but overall, if you watch other shows and movies you'll realize how lacking these marvel movies are, feige needs a change of plans, make a movie like Joker and Logan, the crossover gimmick should take a backseat for a while, make a good movie without the need to shoehorn crossovers,corney jokes, cgi battle. Give us character study, touch greater subjects, give us creative action setpieces etc, in conclusion give a director enough freedom to do what they want

@@vanne-necashionofbread9095 After Eternals which had the most supposed freedom ever VS spiderman which was an even bigger crossover and jokes, maybe the restaurant owner was right.

Is this true?

@@kddakid6 Sadly, no according to Google, Favreau's son is called Max

he's also my dad

@@thatoneguy24530 What is this f*cking joke I'm about to kill someone.

@@aFoxyFox. jon favreau is Ben's father. jon favreau is my father. jon favreau is your father, if you accept him.

His name isn't Ben asshole, his name chef

hey it's jack! 👋

🔥

@@Xxsnipedawg72xX what?

@@tacobobthecat bens name isn't Ben, it's actually chef and he's been hiding his real name so he doesn't have to chef anymore

I did too. He gets to be in the movies he loves as a character he created (I think?) And be a fan favorite character

@@dobson. Happy is actually a character from the comics, but Favreau made him just a movie character people love!

@@KnowYourMarvelNews Ahh, thanks! I wasn't a huge fan of Iron Man comics until the first two movies came out

James Cameron the Alien movie dude? Googling.

You get to make a movie on someone else's dime. When you have enough clout or your own money, then you can do whatever you want. You have clout when you have a proven track record of success at the highest level, e.g., James Cameron, not Favreau back then but Favreau now. Even then, making a movie is a huge financial risk because the studios have to get a bunch of investors, i.e., it's not all their money going into the project, and failures make it harder for them to get investors for other movies. Success begets success; failures scare people.

Fr

It's not terrible, not as good as the other two but definitely better than the first two thor movies

It's the worst iron man mcu movie, But I like it, the story of tony going off the deep end because he is dying, but going off the deep end pushes everyone away, and this leaves him alone and dying Is quite unique to the mcu

Release the favreau cut

It's the worst MCU movie right up with there with shit like Thor 2

It's ok to be wrong

You were probably quite young when you watched it

@@mrevilducky yeah possibly.

I don’t get the hate for it too, don’t think it’s one of the best of the mcu but still an enjoyable movie

You are not alone.

I got really confused... 'cause I don't know if it's real or not. According to Google it's not, but I kinda want it to be.

Yeah that was weird. Like, for real? Seems a bit odd to make this kind of video in that case, just go ask dad if chef is about iron man 2

I came to the comments specifically for looking a comment about it lmao

He used the term ‘Dad’ a couple of times and like others, it sent me straight to the Googles to confirm. I’m confused.

im commenting on here hoping for an answer. lol

Yup. Even more accurately, Ike Perlmutter.

@@CrowTRobot So even further in this logic, Nick Fury in Avengers was Feige, and the council he had to report to and who wanted to nuke New York were the Disney execs. THAT's pretty meta !

Yes finally someone else gets it. 👏

I feel the same way. Bravo, Ben!

Fantastic!

So good, Ben.

Erm this is not an original theory about Chef/Iron Man 2 - but yes, certainly an excellent essay

@@passiveagressive4983 I can't decide if using "erm" makes everything that you say false or if using "erm" makes everything that you say true.

My name chef

And I. Indomitable

Was this a joke?

I too, am confused.

It's a running joke from the podcast if I remember correctly

@@Szaman180 oh I'm a few eps behind haha

@@Szaman180 but the joke from the podcast is bob iger is mason's dad

Holy shit that sounds like a good idea.

Lol true but back then twitter wars probably wasnt that big of a thing.

Chef is a great movie and the Chef Show on Netflix is a great show.

Ikr

Hope the sandwiches are big

Analogies?

@@ewan80 The analogs between Chef and working with Marvel. What the video was asserting. I didn't know anything about that.

Yes!!!!!!!

😂😂

For what it was, that movie was entertaining

Damn turns out I'm a huge Jon Favreau fan

Me too, he cooked with prawns, which is an obvious reference to District 9, another movie about cowboys and aliens

Forgot he directed that but I do remember that it's awful.

Spoiler

I was going to say Die Hard but ok

Calling Elf the greatest Christmas movie is… wrong. Yes it’s an interesting movie from a filmmaking perspective but I cannot stand it personally.

​@@dubbingsync Elf is actually a biopic about Will Ferrell.

@@danielbob5191 😂😂😂

Same. It's interesting that he viewed him as feige and not perlmutter especially when James brought up all the ike perlmutter stuff last week with iron man 3

I think his name chef

If you look up more current pictures of Ike Perlmutter and his appearance, and then see Dustin Hoffman’s look in this film, it really becomes apparent. The grayish hair, the fake tan. It’s all there.

Thank you. I like Ben and this video, but that bit bothered me.

@@JozannaHanawalt Holy crap you're so right. Kinda shocked Ben didn't pick up on that too because Ben is the originator of the "Ominous Ike Perlmutter Donald trump sound" joke.

I also get a Barry feel to Ben, that's so weird

I think we're just so used to James and Maso being gut-bustingly funny, spinning gold out of nothing, that I forget about the genuinely great and thoughtful media analysis that Ben gets up to!
