Iron Man 3 - Caravan Of Garbage 

Guess what we're doing next week? You get one comment each

The weirdest bit was in one of those Chinese scenes where Tony looks directly at the camera and says “Wow I guess it is true that Hong Kong and Taiwan are part of and subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China, all hail President Xi the magnificent!” and then just carries on like nothing happened.

This movie always reminds me that Tony stark retired 3 times in the MCU. At the end of Iron Man 3, at the end of Age of Ultron, and then between Infinity war and Endgame.

Can’t wait for Shang chi to reveal that the mandarin was actually Happy Hogan the whole time

Tony's PTSD leading to him overstocking on Iron Man suits and being hyper defensive to where he almost hurts Pepper in his sleep makes sense. Him only having the least capable Iron Man suit he's ever made on hand right after issuing a request for a duel at his house makes the opposite of sense. Also, the lack of SHIELD in this one makes it seem like the authorities just sort of shrugged when their local superhero REQUESTED a terrorist attack on his own property and had no response ready when it did happen.

I think if Ben Kingsleys twist was literally it, and after that the mandarin was left as a “if this guy isn’t the mandarin who is?” Type thing it would have worked 1000X better

When James said Yinsen’s corpse should’ve been one of the people in the iron man suits I could not stop laughing.

I just wish they'd let Aldrich Killian be more cool. He's so cool at the beginning. So so creepy and weird - AND THEN HE JUST BECOMES A FLASH VILLAIN LOL

This and Thor: The Dark World felt like films with darker themes that then went through a rewrite to make them more "fun". The PTSD angle for instance.

My favorite part of the movie was when they revealed that the Mandarin was really Corn of Coblin

I love the final fight with all the suits because it's a perfect example of advancing story through action: After spending all movie freaking out about having a suit for every possible emergency/wondering who he is without them, he goes from suit to suit, throwing them away as they break down and moving on to the next one

The real Mandarin was Ike Perlmutter

Those chinese exclusive scenes are the most Disney things I've ever heard lmao

3:11 oh god, he left Cillian Murphy on the roof right next to Aldrich Killian? That's a dastardly team up!

The skydive scene is so great because it’s so rare to get a scene like that anymore. A scene of a superhero not just saving the day by fighting the bad guys, but literally going out of their way to save a few specific people. A super hero, saving people in a super hero movie, crazy right? Super hero movies have gotten less and less of those scenes over the years, because I guess it’s not as entertaining as watching the hero beat up random henchmen. That’s a big reason I like Spider Man movies from any era, they never really lost sight of that aspect so you have multiple scenes of Spider Man saving civilians in every movie.

my favorite part was when they revealed that the mandarin was john krasinski

I remember thinking this felt like the final film with Iron Man when I first saw it, and with you mentioning the behind the scenes details that makes sense why. Had that not been the case I feel like they maybe should have had the reveal of the Ultron program be an end credit scene in this film. Based on how this film ends I feel like Age of Ultron would have been a lot more interesting if he didn't return as Iron Man until the third act, he's still helping the Avengers but he's more of just the tech guy, which I get isn't exactly within his character but maybe if they elaborated on the fact that he destroyed all his suits for Pepper at the end of this film, then it would make more sense that he was making a conscious effort to change for the better, only to then accidently create a bigger problem with Ultron. That would have made the Ultron program more believable for why he did it other than just his trauma from the first Avengers, and added more meaning to the end of this film, so when they reveal that Pepper left him at the beginning of Civil War it's because he went back to being Iron Man at the end of Age of Ultron. I just like the concept of Tony trying to be a better person only to get punished for it, that I think would have been an interesting arc for him in Age of Ultron since I feel that he should have shown more regret at the end of that film for creating Ultron.

Last time I was this early Cillian Murphy was still the Mandarin

ProZD in a Mr Sunday Movies video; the most ambitious crossover since Endgame.

The Ben Kingsley twist was great, the problem was that instead of the bad guy being the real Mandarin, it was some fire breathing nerd.

So.. When is Ben's video on IM3 coming out? I could feel his blood boiling behind the edits.

I never noticed how his beard connects to his sideburns in this movie before. Damn you guys.

Did anyone else notice James calling Aldrich Killian "Cillian Murphy?"

The next caravan of garbage should be for the Legend of Zorro movies...

Surely Tony's ex-girlfriend corps would be a small army. They would have defeated Thanos almost immediately when it turned out Tony didn't get dusted. Universe saved.

I cant wait to hear all the great things James loves about Iron Man 3.

When Extremisman yelled "I am the Mandarin," I always took it as meaning "I'm your enemy, I'm the one doing all the bad things..." but not as formal as I typed that.

The real Mandarin was the friends we made along the way

I liked how the final fight wasn't between two dudes with similar abilities. Just Ironman using his tech against a super powered Aldrich Killian.

Love the pizza oven shade thrown. We all know *that* guy who decided to become the artisan pizza guy.

I can hear James shout "I am the Mandarin!' a thousand times and it's still going to make me smile every time.

The thing I don't like about this is how easily his suits break

Having Chris Nolan be there when Maso is explaining when the armor may have left is a genius pull Ben! Also I would love to see a Ben the Editor follow up on why this is the best Ironman movie. I agree,I just would love to see the argument you make

Tony: "ima give up being ironman" Also Tony: "i tried giving up being ironman. Didn't work. I guess I'll just give up life in general" Woah that blew up thanks guys don't think I've ever got that many likes on a comment before😄

Someone comes to Tony's house to fight and he throws a fucking piano at him. Its awesome. Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin was amazing. I hope Shang Chi follows up with her real one and we see the conclusion from the Short film with Trevor and Terrible Terry Tate meeting the real Mandarin.

Ben's little editor's notes are how I ALWAYS feel when dunces are dunking on something they didn't pay enough attention to. Love you Ben ♥️

Oh... James isn't a *_Chuffed Dad?_*

I wasn't even a fan of the comic books, and even I was let down with The Mandarin. Ben Kingsley is such a good actor to waste, and the trailers gave a great feeling of dread from this very human, but very deadly, adversary.

I was just talking about how much I like this movie with a coworker and I forgot that it was up for Caravan of garbage this week! I rewatched it yesterday and it did not disappoint! Can’t wait for Ben’s “why iron man 3 is the best iron man” video.

Jarvis was shut down for most of the movie, while he’s running about in the snow. That’s why he couldn’t call the other suits

That sequence with Happy stopping Tony from committing an statutory crime while the FBI is breaking in was fucking gold. Ben (and Lawrence) you are gods.

I didn't realise Guy Pearce and Cillian Murphy was the same person

Now it’s time for the National Treasure movies to be Caravan of Garbage’d

21:18 Well… that aged brilliantly.

Killian announcing he's The Mandarin is just him taking credit for it all, no? Like you can take it literally if you like but he's just saying, "I created this fictional terrorist...but I suppose in a way I AM THE MANDARIN....because actually it was me...behind it all"

The best way I can describe the "I'm the Mandarin" twist would be like if when Nolan teased the Joker at the end of Batman Begins, but then did DKR and instead of Goul, Bane was hinted to work for someone else. Then DK opens up with Heath Ledger Joker and it the same just pass the nurse scene only to reveal he really was just mental patient... Then Jim Carry comes out in green spandex saying "What is a Joke, but a Riddle with a punchline?!"

Thank you editor for saying the things that the comment section really wants to as they're getting things wrong lol.

the crusty demons having stark repulsers in their bikes would be epic.

I’m not a fan of the Ben Kingsley twist but he plays both characters really well

As far as the standalone movies go this one is one of my favorites. Some really inventive scenes and at the time I really felt there were really stakes at play.

That suit is going 92,495 km/h. The fastest commerical airliner in the world, the Boeing 747-8i only goes 1,060 km/h

Time traveler Loki: *Sneezes* Thanos: I am inevitable. Killian: And I am... THE MANDARIN! _snaps fingers_

If you keep saying “I am man” for 10 times really fast , it will sound like iron man

I’m glad Ben edited in some places to make some slight corrections to what you guys missed in the plot lol. Love it

"He has that PTSD that he has to like, get over in like 2 hours" lol

“They were buried under rubble. But it’s fine I’m not mad.” That was amazing!

The airforce one crew rescue is one of the best action scenes in MCU.

9:54 - the reason he didn't call his suits to him earlier is because they were being dug out of the rubble covering the hall of armor entrance in his Malibu home. Jarvis alerts him during the 3rd act that they are able to deploy, and he then activates the House Party Protocol. BTW this actually might be my favorite IM movie - we did an awesom cosplay of this at Disneyland a few years back where my wife was bra and yoga pants glowing Pepper Potts with one IM glove, and I went as 'The Mechanic'. I've done many more difficult cosplays at DLand for Halloweentime (back when it was still in the main park - pre-COVID) but I think this costume set got the most love from the DLand staff. Much love!

“You left Cillian Murphy on the roof and now he’s a dragon man!”

Drinking very heavily. That’s is what people are doing at the EPCOT center.

Iron Man should've had a clean shave in 1999 since he had no beard in the photos in Iron Man 1.

Every time one of you says “Go on” I smile cause I know something good is coming lol

Every time I watch “Iron Man 3,” I like it more and more. I love the Mandarin twist as well.

the sky dive scene really is awesome, though. I’ve grown to appreciate this movie a little more, over the years.

The Ben Kingsley reveal is the worst twist in any movie ever. No one will convince me otherwise.

I'll admit tho, the scene where Tony talks to Jarvis and they say the house party protocol and the scene when you actually see what that is, are 1 of my favorite moments in the whole of the MCU. it's probably not all that iconic to most people, but by the Norse gods themselves, I do love it.

He can’t do the House Party Protocol after the attack on his house because JARVIS is offline.

I loved the Kingsly reveal. I wish they had put the “actually there is a real Mandarin out there” reveal in the post-credits. But I really think this movie would hold up better if they hadn’t just kind of ignored it as the MCU moved forward. Like, it would have been very cool if Tony deciding to resume his Iron Man stuff as a story point instead of just something off screen had been a part of Avengers 2.

7:00 I enjoy the fact that actor Scoot McNairy gets a shout-out.

There’s a moment in which Jarvis basically tells Tony in code that something something is ready. So the “house party protocol” wasn’t operational until that moment. It’s just very hard to get, a few seconds of an AI with speech impediment saying random words. So I guess it’s more of a poor execution rather than a plot hole.

“I think it’s pronounced mavel” W H E N ‘ S M A H V E L

"you left Cillian Murphy on the roof".... Something's wrong, I can feel it

I feel like a lot of the "We don't wanna touch The Mandarin" was less about him being weird and silly and more about the racism

I agree with Ben, this is indeed the best Iron Man movie

Here is a controversial statement: Iron Man 3 is the best one. I love that it’s over the top action (with and without the suit) mixed with good comedy and decent twists.

I actually genuinely like Iron Man 3. It's a classic Shane Black film, action and big explosions and shit you can enjoy with your brain turned off, but also a surprisingly soft and almost deep side, dealing with Tony and his traumas. I liked that they actually didn't magically solve them at the end of the movie, Tony just learns to live with them and make the best of his life.

The after credits scene should of had the "fake" Mandarin sitting in jail when someone slips a small box into his cell containing the ten rings. He puts them on, they start glowing and he looks at the camera and says "when you least expect it"

"Why don't you build something?" "Why don't I build something?" "Yeah." "Do you know how many things I built since New York? I was being nagged at constantly for spending too much time building things. Also, how many Marks for the Iron Man suit I blew past between now and then? You really should have your shrink license revoked, kid." ------ Okay, they need to get Cillian Murphy into the MCU. Somebody find a role for him, asap.

Once i heard the song "I'm Blue (Dab-Da-Dee)" by Eiffel 65 at the start, that made me almost laugh out loud in the cinema, also the way Guy Pearce has his hair styled and wears tons of white suits... I thought he was Ron Moss a.k.a. Ridge from Bold & The Beautiful.

Hello James and Mason please have a nice comment to trick the youtube algorithm

I remember Iron Man 3 being filmed in Wilmington, NC. I live close to the loading dock that was used in the finale of the movie and the hospital where Tony Stark was visiting Happy.

Jesus My dad has so many crusty demon vhs tapes. That brought up memories.

i think that "a man with a weird beard" in an Australian accent is the most Australian accent-y thing i've ever heard

There’s some great moments, but the bad parts rlly hurt it overall

I think this is the film where Rhoades really came together as a character Also how great is the fact that his first reaction to being broken out of his suit is to just start kicking the shit out of the closest guy?

This movie is far and away the Best example of the MCU actually showing the mental consequences of being a superhero.

Can't wait for the in-depth Ben video on why Iron Man 3 is the best Iron Man movie

I’m slightly worried that at this point I’ve seemingly been conditioned to instantly hit Like when James tells me to.

Unpopular opinion: Ironman 2 > Ironman 3…. I cannot get past the fact he has an army of suits he just leaves stored in the basement, while trekking through the snow for half the movie.

You gave it 10/10, little did you know 1 was the highest

The facial hair: Tony Stark always has a goatee in comics, and RDJ can't really grow one. Hence the mid-cheek bridge

11:11 It’s actually Malibu not Miami so it’s even longer (about 3.5 hours)

I saw this movie at El Capitan theater in Hollywood. They had an even where they showed iron man, iron man 2, avengers, and then finally iron man 3. In between movies we had guests show up on stage including the Clark Gregg, Ty Simpkins, and the main man himself Stan Lee. I miss that moment.

If you’re nothing without the suit, then you don’t deserve it

that freeze frame of ben defending this movie is me defending this movie to my friends sigh i feel u ben

Yo that Aunty Donna reference made me chuffed

this film stands up better after Tony giving peter the same lesson in Homecoming, and solidifies that mentorship a lot more

Watched this movie recently after I liked it the first time, and I was kinda surprised by how much it...just doesn't quite work. It's got a lot of interesting ideas, none of which are particularly well developed, and when taken in the context of the other films, this does mostly feel like wheels being spun.

I feel like the payoff for Tony's PTSD is the creation of ultron. It's those fears and hesitations that Wanda uses to manipulate him.

The real mandarin was the friends we made along the way
