Only problem was that the mask got in the way of his safety and comfort

@@kylief2975Wuss.

Or what they could have done is instead of CGI the entire helmet they could just give him glowing eyes in post and keep the helmet if he really couldn't see

@@NoahSprague cg lights looks bad mixed with practical props. keep the helmet but cg the face mask for accurate cg lighting.

I think he means that they would’ve had to do both. The real thing, plus CGI for the scenes that didn’t show Tony making it. Maybe.

I wish... Though tbh it probably would legitimately be cheaper than what cgi studios be charging these days..

Spared no expense

It may sound logical

Yeah, if its done right a costume will always look more natural even though CGI will make things look more smooth. The early suit also helped with looking more basic if can evevn call hes suit that over the mutch more smooth looking Nano suit he got later on.

I absolutely LOVE that first _Ironman_ movie and most of the Ironman scenes from that film remain some of the best in the MCU. ...but to be fair, that very first "suit up" scene in the newly minted Ironman suit did NOT age well _at all._ The cg was SUPER janky and very VERY bad. At the time of it's release (2008) I remember being awestruck. But rewatching that particular scene the flaws are magnified and very obvious.

Not true.

Are you dense? The cgi sucks

@@RockSleeper Brother this was 2008. Compared to those standards I would never say the cgi sucked, heck it'll even go toe to toe against many cgi based movies of today. But the point of my comment and this short was not even about the cgi so I don't know why you are yapping about it. Jon Favreau used as many practical effects as he could and didn't solely rely on cgi. That's why the movie looked awesome. That's what we are all appreciating here.

it’s went down the fast and furious route wdym

​@@RockSleepercgi only sucks when you know it's there 😂 movies are littered with cgi you just don't know it. Saying all cgi is bad makes you look like a moron lol

They really should bring practical suits back tho

i think its a 50/50 you dont want them wearing the suit the entire time, but you still need them for reference, and it can be important to have scenes where the actor is wearing a full suit because it gives more weight than what cgi would give, its why robert d j had to wear the chestpiece and helmets most of the time because it was the most important spots that needed to look real like with the arms and legs you could just cgi and edit those as need be, its why gwenyth paltrows scene in avengers end game looked so wonky because it was Entirely CGI, they didnt even make a mask mold for her face as reference to make it look right, its why cgi should never be used 100%

The actors who get paid millions of dollars

@@johndawson6057still. It’s not really your decision how much suffering the actor has to deal with per day. If Robert doesn’t want the Practical suits to come back they probably shouldn’t come back.

But they painted over pratical suit anyway. Every single shot of ironam suit is CGI in first movie.

@@majorbombasit’s not?

Well the CG wasn't as rushed. By the time they were working on avengers movies everything had narrow deadlines which left everything looking like ass

Not without doing the work of being an actor who takes the role seriously, even if it is "just comic books"

It was Terrence Howard who recommended RDJ for the part. Marvel was initially reluctant to hire Downey because of his past struggles with addiction. But it was Howard who convinced the studio to give him a chance, taking a $1 million pay cut and vouching for his pal.

​@@deertee1so that's why he demand his paycheck paid way more than RDJ in Iron man 2? How convenient,so now he's the good guy and RDJ is an a**hole?

@@RockSleeperthat’s what he’s saying 🤦‍♂️

Uploader raised the pitch to avoid copyright.

voice acting

Yeah is a bit a weird one... it was the exponential cost! CGI was more expensive BUT was cheaper to achieve the level of "realism" that was increasingly desired at the time, that would cost more and take longer if it was done with practical effects, artists and specialists, multiple models of same thing for different shots massive sets and there construction workers to build them even multiple versions of the same set and re-shoots themselves plus potential theft of those models which often happened and still happens! And you are right because NOW CGI is the 'go to' but they don't but put the money in order to make worth while and it looks shite and jarring after a couple of years! However by just throwing out a bunch of movies like this the make money and they don't care if the movie was bad of look bad they just trying to take care of parents that have no interest but still bring their with kids to see those movies because NOW, it doesn't need to look real! It just needs to sell toys! The opening weekend tickets are just a bonus

Wasn't the early selling point the things you couldn't do without practical effects? There are some things that you never see in old movies because they couldn't do that

Agreed

Downing performance in the Helmet Hud is what sold it. He really does seem like he's flying around and dealing with stuff. Not just looking at a screen and reading lines.

@@TheDalinkwent There was a lot more to his 11 years as TS than shots of him with the HUD. I understand if that's what you enjoyed the most, but that alone didn't make his character the heart of the franchise. He couldn't be in the suit and give his best performance. The CGI was going to take over regardless of what he wanted anyway.

@@dasupertramp5855 My overall point is if theres a distance between Downey in and out of the suit..the whole thing doesnt work. We need to believe Robert is in the suit to sell the danger and action and Roberts performance sells it.

"If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it." Such a good statement

@@leftoids.are.cringe Meh, I don't care. He's the one in the suit having to deal with it. It's all well and good to point the finger and call him spoiled, when you're not in the suit having to deal with the problems, first-hand.

@@Jeremiah_Johnson139 Yeah if I was getting paid what he was getting paid, after being handed a second chance at fame/fortune from drug abuse, you’d better believe I’d wear that suit in my sleep. Keep running D for celebs that don’t even think about you though. It’s cute.

@@chumbopshop Damn, if only he could have asked them to dim the lights or add the lights in post rather than removing the entire practical effects of the suit. Red herring. Next.

Tony Stark was always improving his suits, only because Tony learns from his mistakes.

And even the CGI suits looked less fake because they were based on a real practical suit.

Yes, but I’m also willing to accept that there’s some actual verisimilitude going on. In the first movie, he’s wearing the first three marks and just learning how to use them. By Endgame, he’s got years of experience wearing the suits, is on the 85th iteration, and it’s made out of nanomachines, son.

It was a mix.

Watch the behind the scenes. He never used a fully practical suit. They used parts of it and the rest was mocap suit+CGI.

@@The_Curious_Cat, depends. What suit are you talking about. He did wear some of the full suits a few times. There were also multiple versions of each type of suit.

Exactly

They could have just hired a stunt actor to learn RDJ's mannerisms and have him do all the suit scenes. Would have saved millions

I thought the same thing after watching lol

Iron Man has famously been using nanotech in his suits in the comics for a long time.

Iron Man armor model 29, a.k.a the Extremis Armor. First appearance 2005. It was essentially the first sort of nano-tech/compressed-tech suit that he had in the comics and it was 3 years before the first film even released. So no, RDJ isn't the reason anybody has anything in the MCU, it's all just showing people shit that existed in the comics already... Furthermore, going from physical props to CG overlay is infinitely better for both the actors and the filming process as it reduces the amount of cuts you need to make for everything to look seamless, and the physical props need a bunch of editing done to make them look "right" anyway so they're not just 1:1 using the thing and showing us how it looked on set.

They should’ve use a real nano tech helmet or something?😂

@@Noa_persico I'm not sure what you are getting at. Nano-tech or not, the problem is that they don't add size that match the thickness of the helmet. Even if it's nanotech, it has to still build up a thick layer so it actually has rigidity and strength. So this is why the suit looks so much better in the first movie, because it is made based in a real suit built up around RDJ's body. It's a similar story with e.g. Master Chief's armor in Halo. The only armor that realistically makes sense is the one from Halo 4, as that one is the only one bulky enough to actually fit a human inside of it. While I love and prefer the looks of the Halo 2 and 3 armor, the size of the person inside that suit has to be very skinny.

​@@Wistbacka I totally agree with you. I hate how thin those "costumes" are. It just doesn't make sense.

He never really left bc in spite of his drug use, he was always professional and still got given parts to play. The odd disparity between the 2 states of being were much discussed in Hollyweird, yet it was proven time and again. He lost plenty of roles as well from studios not wanting to take the chance but he is the only one that didn't let his personal life ruin his professional life. So at least he had that going for him.

They sped it up so the pitch is much higher than his actual talking voice
