Robert Downey Jr. Says His New Film "Iron Man" Doesn't Stink | Letterman 

Him and Steve-o :)

@@RagdollRalph and now Eddie Furlong joined the list.

“The clothes make the man” is an approximation of an old Latin saying. It’s been said throughout history. It’s a common saying.

@@Hack_The_Planet_ Which is why the choice to use the word "suit" is important. It's both.

@@Hack_The_Planet_exactly. There is multiple layers to it

It's amazing hearing them talk about CGI and how little they tried to use compared to modern MCU flicks.

That phrase is all 5 seasons of mad men

@@patreekotime4578 Yeahhh I know, but it was a helluva run.

@@patreekotime4578 Okay, well you clearly weren't the target audience then. Most people who were fans from 2008-2019 were very happy with the vast majority of MCU films released during that period.

@@keefriff99 Yeah, you nailed it on this. I wasn't much of a comics superhero fan, but Ironman was a surprisingly good film. It's easy to tell that was due to RDJr's input on the script and the character, though I still get a kick out of seeing him giving himself credit for that here.

I saw the Crystal Skull back then, clearly the wrong choice.

yeah fr like iron man was one of the greatest superhero movies ever made 🔥

It was gonna STINK

*"Dave's audience"? LOL! The whole world!*

yeah fr like people weren’t expecting what was to come 🔥🔥

No one did...

​@@Losrandirlol ok

And I believe he was filming tropic thunder too that’s why he has short hair.

Literally THE game changer for Hollywood the 21st century.

Disney really flushed Marvel down the toilet after Endgame. Everyone in that company needs to be fired.

as a kid it made me feel like anything was possible...... man id day dream about flying in a suit of armor

​@@bassage13lol

​@@bassage13you're saying that as if they only made bangers before that one

⁠@@johnwerner69 dude if you gave me a choice to go back in time to where people really thought that Thor was the worst marvel movie, I’d take that every time. The difference between then and now is that they at least “tried” to make a good movie and just didn’t executed it flawlessly. Now all we get is a convoluted mess that hardly even has real “characters” that have “flaws” and overcome them and stuff.

How not?

Nope. It sure didn't.

@@Marcus_1001 again how not?

​@@jeffcunningham0389look up Goop! She believes some strange things

Haha wow. It's uncanny how poorly that aged LOL

Not even B list... Iron Man was C list. Bottom shelf comic. Never even got his own video game. Only one with his name in the title pre movie he had to share the title with XO-Manowar... which only the most obsessive comic shop trolls would know about.

@@DanJackson1977 I wouldn't say C list. Iron Man was continually published as a lead in a title from the early 1960s. Only a few Marvel characters had such a long run. Ghost Rider, Punisher, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Blade didn't.

Antes dos filmes o Homem de Ferro e o Capitão América já estavam muito populares nos quadrinhos por causa de Guerra Civil. Era difícil um quadrinho relevante sem a presença ou menção ao Homem de Ferro. Chamar ele de "C list" é fora da realidade, nem o Namor é "C list" e ainda assim não vendia como o Homem de Ferro.

@@davidlasdon457if they couldn’t even license out Iron Man or Avengers, I’d call that C list. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t published, but he was definitely on the sidelines. When they licensed out all these characters in the 90s, Avengers and the characters attached weren’t seen as hip, they were seen as tired and old. I grew up in the comic shops in the 90s and X-Men and Spider-Man was of course A-Tier. Avengers were seen as ‘for old people’ or too basic and normal (I think only Thor was the stand-out getting some good writing here and there) and no one really cared about some tired old alcoholic Tony Stark. All those titles you mentioned were borderline B-Tier just barely held up by awesome artists.

@@button9you implying iron man never had good writing is foolish.

Underrated comment lol

LOL he did!

Oh god your gonna make me MUC

It's fine, Robert can come back and say it again.

Regression is a hell of a thing.

They had a phenomenal 10 year run for the MCU. At this point you can just ignore everything that happened after Endgame.

@Nawchos Her candles are DEFINITELY not normal.

That's 3 words

By nowadays, you mean 10-15 years ago.

What is it with her ? I've seen like 10 comments like this

I'd love to see Marvel do a limited re-release for the 20th anniversary. I missed seeing it in a theater.

umm.. Superman started it all for me. I'm sure the generation after me saw Batman as the first real superhero movie. Now kids are spoiled with superhero projects, but in my day it was mostly Saturday Morning cartoons and cheesy live action tv shows.

X-Men 2000 for Marvel

Blade 1998

Batman 1989

Spiderman started it all…after Superman, Batman, Blade and X men

"Pepper, we have to save the planet." "Tony, you'll die!" RDJ's voices are amazing.

I heard they are connecting it with the incredible hulk and planning a some sort of connected universe Don't know whats that all about

@@siddharthiyer2177 Oh, wow. Really looking forward to that!!

​@@siddharthiyer2177no way! That could never happen

​@@siddharthiyer2177 Ha! Yeah right, that'll fail miserably!

He's no Ms Marvel, that's for sure!

The difference of quality writing can make. Iron-Man was a revelation and is still viewed as a good movie today. It's not super hero fatigue, it's bad story telling and political messaging fatigue.

Glorious comment.

It's 2008 again already!?!?!? Does this mean I'm in my mid-40s again?

Yeah it was a real flop lol

2016/2019

First Iron Man still holds up, it looks even better than todays MCU films

Not liking it means using it minimally and smartly, which is still a practice in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. There are a good amount of full CGI shots in the original Iron Man film, like the scene taking out the military tank, and the suit up sequences, etc. His films before Iron Man like Zathura use CGI. Times have not changed.

⁠@@YodatheHobbitbut also The Lion King and Jungle Book, which are both almost entirely CG

@@localyocal498don’t you know those are LiVe AcTiOn???

And is likely going to be an Oscar winner in a few days. UPDATE: He is NOW an Oscar winner.

It absolutely needed to be promoted, are you kidding me? Most people probably only knew of Ironman (and the Avengers in general) from kids' lunchboxes and the occasional Halloween costume. Like historically the Avengers were always kind of a B-rated superhero team that fell behind the likes of the X-men or Justice League. Crazy how it all got flipped around.

MCU has been run by the same guy since day one but glad to have confirmation you're talking out of your ass !

Well was a black man once upon a time 😊

The thing is that movie was really good and everyone liked it at the time So the only way it could've fallen off is if the sequel would've completely been bad (it wasn't good) but they kept momentum enough to get to The Avengers just based on charismatic acting Like looking back...were these movies really even good or just fun?
