I used the real movie, so the synch should be great. I know there's lots of blur so let me know your experience with this one and if it's too hard to sync I'll rework!

IRON MAN 3 WATCH ALONG!

When I say I’ve been waiting for this, I mean, I’ve really been waiting for this. As a lifetime comic book collector going back to the 70s, these films mean quite a bit to me. And honestly, I would really love to see you increase the number of MCU reactions you’re doing per month. But that’s just me.

Iron Patriot (Rhodes) Seeing the Iron Patriot suit worn by James Rhodes was a lovely surprise. The Iron Patriot suit first appeared in Dark Avengers #1 (March 2009), a suit worn by Norman Osborn in a storyline that saw the villains becoming the heroes post-Secret Invasion storyline. Yet to reach the trivia part of the reaction so I imagine it covered this little detail. Its a fantastic storyline, but Sony legally owns the movie rights to Spider-Man, and anyone connected to his rights. Thus, Norman Osborn is a character locked off from the MCU unless a deal was made. So, the next logical step was introducing Rhodes as Iron Patriot, which worked so well that Marvel made James Rhodes the Iron Patriot in the comics, taking up the title in Gambit #13 (May 2013) with the same armour design you see in this film. The Mandarin Drama: I remember people being very mixed with the Mandarin in this film simply because it's revealed that he's not the real Mandarin. He's a big Iron Man villain extending to other Marvel characters, so it would be like if The Joker in a Batman film turned out to be a "fake" Joker played by an actor. Marvel did redeem themselves with the short All Hail the King (2013), released after this film. It gave insight into the backstory of the actor playing The Mandarin, confirmed that The Actual Mandarin does exist within the MCU, and gave fans hope that we'll see him somewhere down the line. And moving forward into the MCU I can say that people were happy in the end. Overall, I enjoyed Iron Man 3 and how it explored Tony Stark's PSTD after the events of The Avengers. The film gets a lot of hate, mainly from the Mandarin drama, but looking back, it's still an excellent film. Next is Thor: The Dark World.... Well, after that, we have Captain America: The Winter Soldier, followed by Guardians of the Galaxy, so that's super exciting, two of my favourite MCU movies back to back and they couldn't be more differant than eachother.

I actually would want just to do MCU and not stop this month, I'm feeling torn by some negative reactions. But trying not to care! 😂😂

Re: the Iron Patriot being Rhodes is very cool! I can't even believe that's different from the comics! Feels so strong. And the WOAH I did NOT REALIZE that Mandarin stuff. It was such a strong statement for me honestly, I thought they were poking fun at Americans and their fear of other races, while the white dude is the "bad guy," but I'm known to read into absolutely everything. As a fan of the comics i might've hated that twist

Ben Kingsley's character of Trevor Slattery is really good, people did warm up to him afterwards for reasons I can't get into moving forward. So I feel like the heat of the whole Mandarin Drama has died down allowing fans to embrace Iron Man 3 alot more than it's release. But yeah the Mandarin as a character was very much a product of his time showing up in Tales of Suspense #50 (Feb. 1964). Embodying America's negative stereotype of East Asians, trend you'll find across comics and media before and during this time. The character did thankfully leave alot of that origin behind him, developing more depth and a visual style that comes off as less stereotypical.

For context here's a clip from the 1960s Iron Man cartoon featuring The Mandarin as he first appeared throughout this decade. You'll see right away what I mean by negative stereotype of East Asians, thankfully my introduction was the 90s Iron Man series, much better era for the character. 60s Mandarin - https://youtu.be/ijm_EI5R-sQ

I don’t think you need to JUST do MCU reactions, but do ramp it up. Maybe one per week. Don’t let negative reactions get to you. Also, from here on out, each successive MCU film gets better and better.

Just a random piece of info: the head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige - the last name is pronounced "Fay Gee" (hard "g" sound like "foggy")

Yup, solid Iron Man movie, but first one is still my fav. We can clearly see it in your face that you did not like the stereo typical bad brown guy, but it brought a smile to my face knowing the twist that would come and hoped you would see that it was all a setup to make for an easy to hate guy. Sadly Dark world is next. But once you get through that it is all up hill. I can’t wait for Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy, so much fun to be had. Screw the haters, I’ve been having so much fun rewatching the entire MCU with you after a 6 year absence.

it felt inappropriate but also like it was on purpose so I'm glad it had the payoff it had, and the twist made a lot of sense to me. It felt like the filmmakers were building that out from the start so it worked. Comics aside I think that was a super strong plot point for me!

I forgot how much I loved this movie. The vulnerability of Tony after what happened in Avengers adds depth to a wise cracking hero. You also mentioned about how this feels more real, I think because Tony is a man and not a god or magical being. I think Thor 2 will feel like a change of pace and then Captain America 2 will bring that feeling of realness back in with a wonderful spy drama. And Shane Black's 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' stars RDJ, it has narration, witty dialogue and would be an excellent feature on your channel. Keep up the great work. I'm really glad I joined the Patreon. Goodnight from the UK.

thanks for writing!! I loved this one, and I'll be gearing up for some fantastical fun in Thor. I'm also very interested in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!

Just FYI. You're about to watch what most consider the worst MCU film (Thor: The Dark World) of the "Infiniti Saga" (Phases 1-3). It has some bearing on the saga though, so you kinda gotta watch it. However, the film after that (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) is widely regarded as the best film of phases one and two, and possibly the best until the end of Phase 3. It's definitely one of my top 3 MCU films.

Why are you spoiling her enjoyment? I'd rather hear her honest opinion. We have our opinions. Let's wait to hear hers without influencing her.

I've not read any of the other replies because I'm worried about negative reactions....This was fucking fantastic!!!

I've not given this a re-watch since I saw it on opening weekend, and at that time I thought it was just OK, typical run-of-the-mill MCU world building, but on this re-watch I realized that it works like gang-busters as a standalone Iron Man movie! It's a serious bastardization of the Mandarin and Extremis story lines from the comics, but I'll be goddamned if they don't mesh perfectly together as presented here. Shane Black, in my humble opinion, is a ridiculously underrated screenplay writer, even though he gets mentioned all the time as being fantastic. He just has a way of creating worlds and situations that seem 'real' no matter how fantastical the world may seem. If you enjoyed this, and it seems like you did, I can't recommend The Long Kiss Goodnight enough. Gina Davis, Sam Jackson, and a script by Shane Black...are you kidding?!?! This movie is good on so many levels! It would also serve as a nice 'pallet cleanser' before heading into more MCU movies (probably just my opinion). Regardless, this was an amazing reaction to what I now consider an amazing film....thank you for that and for your continued work as a content creator! I have come to love you and all that you do!!!!

I agree with you!! This is a great stand-alone, and I do love how they took the criticism of the Mandarin being racist and spun it to just be the cover villian. I was a big fan of this and how they handled everything. I think in my outtro I geeked out pretty hard and then tamed it down for the youtube version. I dont get why people wouldnt love this as a great film
