FIRST TIME WATCHING IRON MAN!! 

As far as I'm concerned, Yinsen's line to Stark, "Don't waste your life", is the heartbeat of the MCU

The stakes in Iron Man were legit. Serious when it needed to be with a few jokes sprinkled here and there. Phase 1 is still unmatched.

Let's face it, without Robert Downey Jr & this film "catching lightning in a bottle" there NEVER would have BEEN an MCU! Love it to this day & love watching people's reactions to it.

The "I am Ironman" at the very end was improvised by Robert Downey Jr but they loved the idea of it so much (and it perfectly fits Tony's personality) that they decided to go with it and see which way it goes. To me, THIS movie is when the MCU really got started, even though _Hulk_ is considered the real beginning.

From MTV and the NY Daly News circa 2008: "I have to thank Burger King," said Downey in the Daily News article. "It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." The actor then said that at that moment of clarity, he tossed all of the drugs in his car into the ocean and got cleaned up, claiming that the "American cheeseburger" scene from "Iron Man" was a special tribute to Burger King saving his life.

11:40 Go ahead and say whatever pops into your mind. That's what we're all here for. We've seen the movie, your reaction is what we clicked on the video for. Don't apologize for that.

14:24 Just assume that everyone in a superhero movie is more durable than in real life. And the reason they had Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury is because in the Ultimate universe (separate universe from the main comics, it's a long story), the artists modeled Fury after him, on the condition that if there was ever a movie, he'd get the role.

7:26 THIS! In the comics and the MCU movies Tony is basically one of the most intelligent people in the universe. He's a genius with equals counted on the fingers of one hand.

As a huge MCU from day 1, this movie is still one of the best. I'm so happy to see you loving it! It's like when I first watched you react to Metallica, who happens to be my all time favorite band!😁

Your music reactions have always been great, so this series is gonna slap. Iron Man is a very special movie, in that it was such a huge risk. The character was a 3rd tier Marvel character that nobody really was interested in. Relatively new director Jon Favreau staked his career on Robert Downey Jr to do the role. The studio was big time nervous because this was right when Downey was at the bottom of his struggles and coming back from various addictions. If this movie failed, there's probably no MCU at all. Luckily, they pulled it off, Downey WAS Tony Stark, and the rest is history. Oh, btw, check out the play list for music that Downey used for Stark... tons of sick rock from the 80s. The song you wondered about when you said "what's he jamming?" was Suicidal Tendencies, Institutional IMPORTANT NOTE: remember the cheeseburger

This popped up in my recommends and I’m here to go through this journey with you. Marvel is such a great franchise- I mean, I won’t lie that they do have some tragic misses but those are extremely rare. Everyone who delves into the Marvel Cinematic Universe finds something to enjoy about it, whether it’s a particular character or a storyline or a trilogy, I have yet to watch a reactor that does not end up becoming a die hard Marvel and or Superhero fan afterwards. It’s truly a joy to be able to sit back and enjoy someone else discovering a Movie franchise that I’ve loved for decades.

The scene of Tony's first full suit-up in the Mark III armor is my single favorite moment in the whole MCU... closely followed by one particular scene from Endgame (you'll know it when you get there)

Your skepticism about how Stark would avoid injury is pretty solidly based in reality. The thing is, these movies don't use real-world physics, they use comic-book physics. The number one rule of comic-book physics is, "The Rule of Cool." If it's cool, it works. The human parts of the stories are what make these movies work, not the rubber science. Also, Marvel films frequently aren't so much superhero movies, as movies of some other genre that just happen to have superheroes in them. Keep that in mind, and kick back and enjoy the ride. 😀

This movie is literally what made me become a MCU fan.im absolutely stoked to be here for your MCU journey.lets go!🙂

Robert Downey Junior as Tony Stark saying "Lets face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing" is also a cute reference to Downey's real-world problems with drugs and alcohol that largely destroyed his career as a young man. His getting cast as Tony Stark was a masterful MIRACLE for his career.

Yo this actually gets me so excited seeing someone see the mcu for the first time, reminds me of when I was a kid

1:47 There's an old saying: You never hear the one with your name on it. He did! In retrospect, putting your name on all of them may not have been the best idea.

Best way to start/restart a RU-vid channel......MCU reactions.....even if you catch up......there's still TV shows, Movies and animated shows released on weekly basis

at 4:00, the music is Suicidal Tendencies, 'Institutionalized.'

i love the mcu & love you Alex so this is a great combo

Amazing how Jeff Bridges can pull off nastyass villain in this 1 and a lovable major stoner in The Big Lebowski. Grt actor.

Alex: "I like this guy!" Don Cheadle: "Hold my beer."

The place were ark reactor is ,is the heaviest armoured place . So the fire power that it attracts is not harmful. No one in that panic would try to shoot the eyes .

that guy is agent colsin from sheild. and a dirty martini had olive juice in it instead of just the olives in a normal one.

The armor is most thick on Batman's bat symbol on his chest meanwhile Tony has no armor over his arch reactor which is keeping him alive. Why dose no villain ever target the shiny light on Iron Man's chest 🤔

watching this again after a year ...Alex my man u have come a long way n we all r with u for the road ahead ...luv u bud

Hey Alex Fun Fact for you: The guy that Tony mistakes fir Hugh Hefner, that's Stan Lee, the man who was responsible for creating the vast majority of the marvel superheroes

Starting at the beginning looking forward to the journey Thanks for all your efforts I'm sure you did a great job editing this one as you've done all those other ones. appreciate you!

Rewatching this after finishing his reactions to the entire series till now... It's amazing how far, how excited these reactions are!

Humble beginnings of the best and most popular series on his channel.

Mr. Clean. I see The Dude, a multiverse variant evil version where he took his Rubik's Cube fortune and invested in Stark Industries with plans of world domination.

Love it! Keep 'em comin'!

Really love your enthusiasm dude, can't wait to binge all your videos!

In the comics, Tony owns a huge majority of the stock, and it’s kind of funny watching in boss people around

Lone Survivor with Wahlberg as well

Starting this journey here can’t wait to watch you all these marvel movies I’m about to watch every marvel video you have posted so far😭

Bro really uploaded his first youtube video in 2022 at 720p

Think about this regarding continuity. Tony had to practice flying even with his super precise details. Obadiah flew in his guesswork suit like he was born in it. Makes no sense, but...there it is

hitting an eye is very hard compared to the chest

4:00 The Song he is listening to is "Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies"

A dirty Martini is made with gin or vodka, vermouth and olive juice. The olive juice makes it a "dirty martini".

Wow this just came into my recommendation and man i love ur energy keep them reactions coming . And also y iron man is so special bcoz he could be any of us. My brother became a engineer after watching this movie

The bald guy is Jeff Bridges, who was in Starman. A great movie.

Your channel came up today and omg…so excited for your marvel journey!!

Great reaction! The opening story of the creation of the Iron Man suit is lifted directly from the comics, though it was obviously updated from Vietnam War era to Desert War era. The same thing that happened to Yinsen also happened to the native person who was helping him in the Vietnam War era story, and it sucked. A dirty drink means extra alcohol. I've never had a drink in my life and I know that. :-p But I am much older than you, so...? :-D Admittedly, Howard Stark, Tony's dad, was a great inventor, a great scientist, and a great . . . well, he had a lot of great points to go along with his flaws. But, to support Obadiah's line, Howard Stark was NOT a good businessman because he had zero interest in running a business. That was Obadiah's strength and why Obadiah could say that he built this company up from nothing, which is true. And which is why Pepper is there as Tony's do-everything factotum: Tony is much like his dad: genius, inventor, scientist, but burns through money like it's nothing because he's an awful businessman. The Starks provided the materials but Obadiah is the one who made it into a successful business. And, with Obadiah gone, it'll fall to Pepper to keep that legacy going. Don't envy her for that either.

”Yanking your willis” had me dying!

Well done on these. Keep em coming!!

Loved watching 😁 your so enthusiastic

The entire War Scene at 19:16 is my Favourite in this Movie I love how "pissed" he looks at 19:59

Comin back to this. Think I’m gonna do a full rewatch of these reactions. Been way too deep in the trenches mentally lately and I need a pick me up. Always my go to guy.

titanium man was a villain he fought in the comics. paul mccratney wrote a song about it. this is pop culture, with roots.

You really have give a wide way to logic with super heros. In comic books and movies. A lot of things are possible... just because

The first song where you asked "What's he jammin'?" was 'Liar' by Henry Rollins.

An eye shot (especially with armor around the eyes) is much MUCH more difficult than you think. --Sgt of Marines

Iron Man was my favorite "super hero" as a kid, loved seeing it in theaters and then a dozen times since lol

Arc reactor is what is keeping him alive. It's what the battery is hooked up too. Keeping the shrapnel from the heart.

Time for my new binge for marvel reactions after Sebscreen ahahaha

I love backgammon, too. I ordered a nice backgammon set a few days ago. Waiting for it to be delivered.

At first Iron Man was "hated hero"... playboy, millionaire, weapon dealer, alcoholic... you know all things people hate when he was created.

"Oh, you know your social security number? Prove it." Alex, probably.

Its funny you said the "taking value from these movies' thing in the beginning because I dont even really like marvel movies or super hero movies all that much in general. however I find myself binging your marvel mondays lmaooo thank you for the great content :)

At first i didn't think Ironman will do well having Robert Downey playing the role. This was when Robert had lots of personal demons.

If it hasn’t been said, the Song you hear during the first 5 minutes is called “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies.

Gravity Industries has a functional real life flight suit just like Ironman

No wonder Alex is so empathetic! Between this and Captain America, how freaked out he was at Red Skull, it's clear he's got a crazy mirror neuron connection going on. He FEELS it. It's highly correlated with empathy in emotional situations too. Super cool to know.

The song you asked about is "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies....you should listen to their best album "how will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today".....one of the best alternative metal albums ever.

"I've never watched this movie before..". *don't believe the lies, deceit...".

@2:54 you said "vibrato". I think you meant "bravado". Otherwise, great video!

I want that shirt! Also, you gained a subscriber. Love ur reaction vids!

As you've probably heard, the final line was an RDJ adlib and totally chanced the course of the MCU.

You love automotive. Dennis Weaver in “Duel” 1971- Is so badass

In answer to your question about Tony's request for a Dirty Martini, it's a a martini that has olive juice added to it

i think im gonna binge all your reactions lol

nick fury in the after credit scene is one of the most hype things to happen in the mcu

25:29 damn a call back i missed out on. antman said that to tony later on. of all the callbacks and references made in future films i didn't realize that was one of them.

If you're going to watch all of these superhero movies. You need to watch "Constantine" 2005 with Keanu Reeves. It has a after credit you must watch.

All persons have a right representation when the law seeks to convict one of a crime. Period. Even if it's totally obvious. They still get a defense.

my favourite character if all time just god the emotions I have watching you watch my mannn

"DISCHARGE???" LMFAO!!!

Why does Tony have a thing in his chest is because to keep the pieces of shell bombs goes to his heart

11:49 "I guess I'm like a sceptic, I don't know" Spoken like a true sceptic.

Pretzel crisps hell yeah i love those

You know Obediah is evil when he doesn’t even remove Tony’s shirt when stealing his arc reactor😂😂 man just rips straight through it

Great start. Let's go

I’m indeed the “whatchu know bout coach Carter” commenter 😂😂 BUT.. I dig the banter so i decided imma stick around so I came to the beginning. I should’ve started here b/c I would’ve stayed b/c of the pretzels 😂🤷🏽‍♂️ let’s get it! 🤟🏽💯

such a perfect, gung ho, innocent journey for the MCU. wait, i know what they are doing. tony stark is the FOOL, card Zero from the tarot. starting his journey, no clue where he is about to go. you could map the tarot onto the MCU. they for damn sure collect enough characters.

ABOUT F*$KING TIME!!!! WOOHOO!!!

4:00 Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies

Missiles dont exode if you shoot them

Iron Man 2 is blocked on your channel in Australia. ☹️

3:58 "What's he jammin?" Suicidal Tendencies - "Institutionalized"

Yay to your nurse’s! 🎉 I’m a nurse too. ❤

this IRON MAN film owes so much to ROBOCOP for equivalent scenes- a first attempt that doesnt work properly, a disabling scene, 2 villians one corporate and one more street level both working together, corruption industrial espionage, & even surprising reveals that come from know where. BUT I DO like IRON MAN it has its faults- too much time wasting silly banter between Stark & Potts, slowing the pace, but a very impressive costume and interesting exciting action set pieces,

A dirty Martini is just a Martini with a splash of olive juice added.

Great first for the new channel. You could react to trailers first then see how film companies mislead us. Start with Judge Dredd (Stallone) followed by Dredd (Urban), great contrast...bet you end up watching Dredd🏍️🔫👮💀😁👍

The last line was improvised

Remember to watch Hulk and Incredible Hulk

Also, bro when Obadiah scared the shit outta you 😂😂 jumped outta your skin, damn near

I enjoyed ur reaction

Alex?! "What's he jamming"?! Dude, Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies!
