The best Iron Man movie. Y'all just hate fun.

A modern Christmas classic

I want what Tony and Jarvis have

seeing a superhero having a panic attack will never lose its impact for me

Please point me in the direction of more superhero films which deal with trauma, and/or post-traumatic stress.

IT’S A BIG BUNNY, RELAX ABOUT IT

pepper and tony are the blueprint for the girlboss/malewife trope. know your herstory

hot take: tony's character development in this is the best thing the mcu has ever done.

this is still far and away the best Marvel movie. tackles American exceptionalism and imperialism so cleverly. the villain is a rich white capitalist who invents a vaguely Middle Eastern caricature to distract Americans from his wrongdoings. the character War Machine is painted the colors of the flag as part of a rebrand as Iron Patriot, literally masking a war machine in the guise of patriotism. suicide bombings, a staple of 21st century terrorism, are carried out by American veterans on American soil.

and then there's the deconstruction of Iron Man's symbolic significance. the film treats Tony and Iron Man as disparate elements, and debates which one can really be considered a superhero. Tony keeps remotely piloting suits, sending them out on his behalf. Iron Man can withstand trauma in ways Tony can't, emotional trauma most of all. this movie is brilliant and it's so much better than all the other MCU movies. it's mind-boggling that anyone thinks otherwise.

No one writes better for RDJ than Shane Black.

Do you ever think about how Shane Black made a movie grappling with his years in Freudian analysis that was also part of a superhero franchise

Every time someone calls this one of the worst mcu films a part of my soul dies
