IT'S HAPPENING. OMG IT'S HAPPENING. EVERYONE STAY F*CKING CALM

At the time Iron Man came out, Marvel Studios was on the edge of bankruptcy, and Robert Downy Junior was a recovering addict who was struggling to rebuild his acting career. This film was a moment of redemption for both Marvel and RDJ, and the start of a partnership that would see both parties flourish.

It's really significant that you pointed out the casting in this movie. It's largely down to the casting director Sarah Finn who has cast every MCU movie bar the Incredible Hulk. She has an uncanny knack of identifying the perfect actor for each role and has quietly fought her corner numerous times. As a result the whole series absolutely nails the casting almost every single time.

Fun fact: the cheeseburger bit is about how RDJ once has a Burger King cheeseburger so bad it made him quit drugs and get his life together

2008 feels like such a different time, just the Myspace reference alone made me feel incredibly old and dated as hell 😭😂😂😂

31:51 no, the next one you watch is the Incredible Hulk. Then you watch iron man 2. Then Thor. Then captain America. Then avengers.

Shield is mentioned: Caleb: 😁😁😁

The genuine excitement and investment you guys bring to these reactions makes me excited to re-experience the MCU all over again! ❤

To this day, this is probably in my top 5 of the MCU. It's absolutely amazing what they've been able to do in terms of translating the comic books to live action film and TV. Glad you're about to be one of us.

It'll be a rollercoaster ride from here on out!! I'm so glad you guys decided to do this series!!

I was in my 30s when this movie came out, and to that point in my life this was the best superhero movie I'd ever seen. It's astounding how well Marvel handled this whole MCU thing.

You guys are in for a crazy journey through the MCU. While I know more about DC than Marvel, I love both universes. I just wish most of DC's live action movies could be looked at on equal grounds with the MCU movies. However DC's animated universe is amazing. Flashpoint Paradox, Batman Under the Red Hood, Justice League Doom and Superman Red Son are just a few of my favorite animated movies. Hope you guys might consider watching DC stuff as well Also your reactions are so adorable

Spider-Man Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man 3 The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Venom Venom Let there be Carnage (Before watching No Way Home) And before watching Hawkeye you need to watch Daredevil S1-S2

I’ve watched a lot of these from different channels. This was definitely the best reaction I’ve seen!

“I am Iron Man”. THE line that defined the last 10 years of geek cinema. Hope you enjoy this wild ride.

4:40 Mark! Howdy! 🤠 I see that missing from your list is Leslie's series! Her character from this movie is the hostess or anchor of a popular culture news series, similar to "Entertainment Tonight" and "Access Hollywood" that keeps viewers up to date on what's happening within the "MCU"! 😎👍

PLEASE keep 'em coming guys. OMG your reactions are so great. You are going to be blown away by this journey and I can't wait!

You're in for one hell of a ride

I AM IROOOOOOOOOOOOON MAN still a great film after all these years & this is just the beginning

Gosh it is always so weird to go back and watch the first Iron Man lol

The SWAG RDJ had in this role was off the charts he was BORN to play this role him alone. Just like Ryan Renolds Deadpool and Hugh Jackman Wolferine and so on.

Terrance Howard is replaced by Don Cheadle as Rhody in future films. There's a few reasons, mainly involving payment. It was honestly for the best as Terrance has had a few unfavorable allegations against him in the past. He also inventied his own methematiacal equation that proved 1x1=3. It was heavily critisized and rejected by everyone.

omg wow less gooo!! this is just the start its gonna be a hell lot of crazy after this, you are gonna fall in love with marvel movies. Looking forward to more of these reaction videos, much love to y'all❤

Well, thats how we call a good honest reaction. Loving how you are venturing these movie titles. I hope you enjoy them thoroughly

Was going through alot mental health wise this weekend and watching this was the first time I felt good again. Thank you for the feels Meg! 🤗

its worth to say that both Rhodey (Tony's friend) and Hulk (the next movie) are recasted in next appearences.

This was great. Glad to see you are having fun with it!

Amazing reaction! Can’t wait to watch this journey!

You guys are in for a treat. Such an amazing experience watching the mcu for the first time and completely worth it.

She’s a keeper man. Keep her close. U guy are perfect

PS: Oh! You're "Jaime Somers, the Bionic Woman"! 😊

I am so here for this! Loved your playthroughs of Dragon Age and now this!

Wow I just found your channel! and I love it! Great reactions!

1 down, 26 to go!!!! 😎😁

Just found your channel thanks to the algorithm. You guys are a lot of fun. I enjoyed this a lot. I look forward to following your movie reaction journey.

Marvel is really good at making you care for all the characters

Welcome to adult humor in pg 13 movies. It's been there all a long. And I hope it never ends.

Nice reactions on MARVEL (I've watched some of them...) I'm subscribing now. Thanks from Sweden.

The nanosuit and the other compact suits are cool, but nothing beats the heavy mechanical feel of this first suit.

Tony Stark went from mark1 to mark 85 his last suit after his death in Endgame.

I just found your channel. I'm looking forward to watching y'all as you watch these MCU movies.

I know it will take a long time for you guys to get through the entire universe but I absolutely cannot wait for you to react to Moon Knight.

Is this the start of the MCU journey? These would be a very very long journey 😂

Glad I get to watch other people's journeys into the MCU

This was before Disney, when Paramount had most of the MCU movie rights.

I never liked and subscribed as fast as this before!

2:51 Well, I guess that's the trouble with being an arms manufacturer: Many, many of them have your name on it.

Every time someone pronounces GIF properly, an angel gets his wings. She failed.

This is so chaotic 😂😂❤

Now this is a thing I didnt know I needed!

oh wow from dragon age to marvel movies how lovely!

Subscribed! MCU is the GOAT

9:34 "C'mon, men! This is you classic ambush scenario!" "I agree! Unless, wait, are we the ambushers, or the ambushees?" "Can you ambush someone who's trying to beat their way through metal plating to get to you?"

Because of Pepper Hawke??? 🥰🥰 Great reaction 👍👍 Please do watch the post credit scenes in these movies. They set up the next movie.

They filmed the middle east scenes around my home town! It's always weird seeing it in this movie.

20 some movies later and this is still one of my favorite MCU movies.

You guys are cute as buttons. The first 2/3's of this movie is arguably the best parts of the mcu.

This particular cool guy, is the chef of explosions. He made those. Of course he doesn't look. Heh

With the post credit scenes, assume there's going to be more. Some of the movies only have one just before the scrawl, but some of them have three, and the last one's after the entire scrawl, way after everyone's left the cinema.

Great reaction! Now if you just watch 10 movies a day you'll be done in about 8 months 😂 I am so impressed with Marvel, there's almost not a single miscast role in the whole bunch. And it's SO much fun to see how all of the different movies and characters interact and play off of each other's stories. And there's only like a dozen more movies before you meet my favorite character of them all 🙂

You may want to consider jumping into Agents of Shield after you get done with Iron Man 3, since it picks up immediately afterwards, regardless of whether or not you decide to film reactions to the show or just watch on your own. Not only is it a fun show that's one hell of a ride, the show and movies play off of each other quite a bit through the first few seasons. You can find watch lists online so you don't get lost or jump ahead or fall behind.

NGL, was a little sad this was winning the poll you put out, for reasons I don't want to get into because I was wrong! Great reaction, I loved your guys' analysis on the themes and character moments. It was great seeing your enthusiasm for this world, and I can't wait to see your journey with these characters.

Hey. Old man and his dog here. You two are charming. Made me smile. Happy to subscribe. Slainte!

Missing the best line of all time by Pepper is bordering on criminal.

i am so excited for this!!!!

Omg how am I just finding out about you two, you guys are great and so was this reaction, please make sure you react to all the MCU productions😁

Just to let you know when Tony Stark flew away from that cave he would be dead from impact.

14:13 look how quickly his laugh changes

oh my godness here we are again on the mcu marathon

WHAT IF THEY DIDN'T CAST RDJ? WELL CATCH UP TO DOCTOR STRANGE 2 AND YOU MAY FIND OUT.

Wonder if Full Length Watch-Alongs via Patreon might be a future thing....👀🤔🤫

Very fun reaction!! Will yall also be watching the marvel tv shows along with the movies?

lol your crush on tony is adorable

As to the cheeseburger being from Burger King, that was actually RDJ's idea. At the depths of his addiction, he found himself hungry one night and ended up munching on a BK cheeseburger. In his assessment, it was awful, but it was in that moment of clarity he realized he had pretty much hit rock bottom and changed his life from there. Get the parallel?

You said the next one is Iron Man 2. No Hulk?

Watch The Incredible Hulk too 🥺

The next movie in the MCU is The Incredible Hulk...Iron Man 2 is after that. Too many reactors skip Hulk.

oh and Mag is gonna love Peggy im sure

29:49 - Ask Edward Norton

RELEASE ORDER IS THE ONLY ORDER, AND YOU MAY NEED TO GET INTO SOME OF THE DISNEYPLUS SERIES FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE.

The Incredible Hulk is the next MCU movie.

YES! I’m so excited for you to experience the MCU for the first time like we all did at one point, how often do you think you’ll be uploading these reactions? I’m already so excited to see you react to the very first Avengers movie :)

You guys are great but you gotta watch the post credit scenes AND watch for Stan Lee cameos!

Caleb looks like Colin Jost. (That's a compliment.)

Great reaction. You are a very cute couple. Enjoy your Marvel journey!

If you're doing reactions and get tired of the mcu, watch The Princess Bride if you've never seen it. Also I loved this. Your reactions were great.

Subbed for mass effect, stayed for, well, everything else

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WOMEN YOU'VE SLEPT WITH BUT DRESS SHIRTS ALWAYS HAPPEN, AT MY PLACE.

Hey guys! Welcome to the Marvel Universe :D really excited to see ur reactions as well as inspired to re-watch everything too from the beginning too lol. Hope you will consider reacting to other great TV shows on your channel too such as The Expanse especially if you like Sci-Fi and Mass Effect ;) Altered Carbon on Netflix (if you like Cyberpunk 2077), Game of Thrones (if you like Dragon Age, The Witcher) and Squid Game, in the meantime.. have fun!

And if you ever going to do some movies reaction, then you have to do some noire movies! For example Double Indemnity (one of the best classical noire movies ever) or my favorite Chinatown which is really really great!

MORE FOR KIDS, NOPE, GET READY FOR AN EMOTIONAL RIDE. NOT FOR KIDS.

If You wonder what to play next then here is the answer: MAFIA 1 and 2, you WON'T regret it!

🎶"cool guys don't look at explosions"🎶. I've never looked at an explosion myself, just saying. 😏

New subscriber here, can't wait to see your reaction to the Incredible Hulk next :D

Supposedly a genius engineer who doesnt know how much is 10% of the power output is.Its not guess work, its Engineering lol

"Doing a piece." He and "Pepper" have an even BETTER exchange about "Christine" in "Ironman II" while in Monaco. Classic...

Are you guys going to start doing movie reactions on this channel? Or just the Iron Man series?

Is there a reason you guys stopped with the MCU after Endgame?

You and your husband are so nice together, really sweet. Just had to say that lol :D

The serious tone in Iron Man is something that is so missed in todays marvel films/shows. Which are basicially comedies.
