I do like that they highlighted Tony's alcoholism in this film an element pulled from the comics. Also seeing Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow was a nice surprise, originally introduced as a villain in Tales of Suspense #52 (1964) who would often go up against Iron Man and other characters until she joined Shield. Introducing new hero's/villains in other characters comics is something Marvel has done plenty of times. If people like the character then they'll get their very own comic book run. So having Black Widow show up in an Iron Man movie makes alot of sense as a way to introduce characters who don't have a film. Whiplash is a very interesting villain as he only made his first appearance in Iron Man vs. Whiplash #1 (December, 2009) so just under four months before the release of Iron Man 2 (2010). Seems like cross promotion with the film and comics, introducing a new character in the comics while also writing him as a villain for the next Iron Man movie alongside each other. Also seeing War Machine was a nice surprise. In the comics James Rhodes actually took up the mantle of Iron Man for a number of years during the early 1980s while Tony was going through depression and drinking heavily. Tony then teamed up with Rhodes Iron Man and later took up the mantle of Iron Man again wearing the new silver and red Centurion armour. Rhodes then became War Machine so for the film they pretty much just skipped Rhoses taking up the mantle of Iron Man and went straight into him becoming War Machine.

I knew I had seen Whiplash fighting Iron Man a LONG time ago in the comics. The character Whiplash (Mark Scarlotti) first appeared in Tales of Suspense #97 in 1968. They just changed his identity and backstory for the movie and newer comics.

I think most MCU fans would say the Russo brothers make the best Marvel films. But you haven't gotten that far into it yet.

This film was a take on the very classic Iron Man story "Demon in a Bottle" where Tony Stark comes to terms with his alcoholism.

**Shanelle** I just started but I wanted to say "Thank you" for moving off-center. I think I suggested that to you during the Deadpool 2 reaction. It lets me make my movie window larger and these old eyes don't have to squint. So thanks again.

I thought Spider-Man was the ambassador, they all meet him first.

Yes, John Favreau marvel movies were good, but the Russo brothers and Taiki Waititi movies were the best. I remember a time you said you wouldn’t watch marvel because it was just a cookie cutter plot to make a billion dollars. That made me mad as you did not watch the movies to see the greater inter woven plot and story and character arcs that take place across multiple movies to make the a cinematic universe a fun and exciting place to watch and talk about and theorize. Having said that not every marvel movie will be a banger. I do expect you to trash a couple of them, hell I do. But there are some real gems in here and you have seen two of them so far.
