Technically, Yinsen saved Tony Stark and his sacrifice gave Tony purpose. So, Yinsen saved half of the Universe. You're welcome.

In retrospect, the entire universe relied on Yensen not dropping that palladium

This is why he’s allowed to say, “If you’re nothing without the suit then you shouldn’t have it.”

No stupid jokes, no childish humor, no quips ruining emotional moments. Just a great scene that you can enjoy.

The Tony inventing scenes are some of the most hypnotic aspects of the MCU.

"Relax, I have steady hands." *Doctor Strange cries*

1:37 Yinsen's reaction to Tony meeting him for the "first time" is clever especially since iron man 3 wasn't even in the works when iron man 1 came out. We all know that they met before in the beginning of iron man 3 with that flashback. I think I love the MCU movies so much because the continuity in the plot is fairly consistent.

This is the only iron man movie, that one could watch and still not be aware that it's part of MCU. Very down to earth, complete, and beautifully executed.

Ivan literally built this the exact same way in Iron Man 2. Only he had blueprints, Tony built this off the top of his head

Tony invents time machine. "Every great invention deserves a special, personal name." "Let's call it...the Yinsen." "Why is that?" "Because it gives us a second chance."

Despite all of Tony Stark's MANY personality flaws, he truly did have the greatest brain to achieve the impossible. Miniaturizing his Arc Reactor was just the first of many miracles he achieved through science

"They call themselves the ten rings" After watching Shang-Chi yesterday in theater this simple dialogue gave mi goosebumps :D

The fact that Tony is building this, knowing that the terrorists are monitoring him is such a classic Tony Stark F U.

"That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes." "Yeah. Or somethin' big for 15 minutes." Chills.

I like how yinsen just looked at him when tony said "nice to meet you" cause we know in iron man 3 that he actually already met him before and tony pretty much ignored him at the moment

And they say Shuri is the smartest character in MCU, she had all the tools to work with plus vibranium. Now let's give her a box of scraps and see what she do with it.

If Yinsen survived he would have been a major powerhouse in helping tony with his later on inventions and mental health problems

I love how Tony had this whole arc reactor blueprinted in his mind when he started asking for the equipment

Ivan's arc reactor had about 2 thirds the power Tony's reactor had. It's shown in Iron Man 2 that his reactor produced 1.8 giga joules while Tony's (the one in this scene) made 3 giga joules

so Tony actually knows the design details of his products, majority of the CEOs and company directors has no clue about the technical stuff, only the result numbers and how well they can market that.

The first Iron Man still is one of my favorite origin stories and marvel movies in general. Robert Downey Jr. is outstanding in this role.

"That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes." "Yeah. Or somethin' big for 15 minutes." "Yeah, or a entire franchise for 10 years."

“They call themselves..the Ten Rings” Shang-Chi reference in the very first movie. I love the MCU

This thing never gets old. Still missing these moments. Proud to be that 1st generation which witnessed this masterpiece

"They call themselves The Ten Rings." And all the Iron Man fans went nuts after they heard this, but little did they know, huh...

I like how he’s making all of this ultra-advanced technology with a hand soldering iron 😅

For a character that exists just to save Tony and die. Yinsen is pretty great

"The power of the sun." "In the palm of your hand."

Yinsens reaction to Tony at 1:40 makes you realise after watching Iron Man 3 that he already had met him. Just Tony didnt realise

I wish that guy didn't die..He could be Tony's best helper to build new things..like batman and alfred

I just realised even the microscope used at 2:07 , he built from scratch , good lord Tony.

Coming to this video is like making a holy pilgrimage to honor the MCU now. To the place it all began

Proof that Tony always has a heart.

You know I wish Endgame had Tony flashing back to Yen Sin after using the gauntlet

Otto Octavius - "I can't believe someone completed a Reactor in a CAVE with a Box of Scrap."

Nobody ever thought Electro from TASM2 would use Tony Stark's arc reactor

I think it was this scene that wanted me to go into electrical engineering.... Knowing now, it's never this interesting...

This was the only Marvel movie that seemed as close to reality as a superhero can be. After it, it just got really crazy, a super serum soldier, an Asgardian God, a gamma ray beast, a talking raccoon and a walking tree, a huge jacked purple dude sitting on his chair for like 10 years causing chaos across the galaxy.

Tony invent time heist device : "Shit!" Morgan : "Shit..."

"Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!" What Obadiah didn't know was that the missing ingredient was Yinsen

Cause when Tony Stark works...there's no bullshit, no politics, no whinging...just an engineer tinkering the night away on the latest gizmo until it's perfect

I love tinkering scenes like this.

1:24 imagine if he dropped liquid palladium. we would not have avengers.

“The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand…”

3 gigajoules per sec..... DAMN THATS A LOT OF POWER SON.....

Yensin was a totally cool guy....

The Power of the sun in the palm of your hand.

3:00 talk about engineering drawings in cave,in a Freaking cave. That itself is AWESOME.

Whenever I feel down, I always watch this scene. This makes me motivated to be an engineer.

Am I the only one who thinks that it's awesome that Tony was quickly able to put together a plan to miniaturize the arc reactor and succeed in doing so in the first attempt?! He calmly thought of the suit to escape in while being a captive too!

Proof That Tony Has a Heart - may Tony Stark rest while his legacy lives on

I miss these building scenes from iron man 1 and 2. Sucks there wasn't rly any in iron man 3

2:30 -- Behind Stark and Yinsen -- Iron man's eyeholes glowing in the dark.

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.

The power of the sun in the palm of his hand

3:10 love that little detail of Tony looking over at Yensen to see his reaction or maybe approval Yensen was the first man Tony respected in these movies

"Don't worry I have steady hands, why do you think you are still alive..." *Spills it everywhere* "Fuck...."

"the power of the sun , in palm of my hands ".

Years later...Doc Oct....The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.....hehehe

How I imagine myself while building the replica arc reactor I bought online: How I actually look: *Jamming the wrong size screw in confusion for 20 minutes*

wow such genius. such engineer

4 years old: builds his first circuit board 6 years old: builds his first engine 30 years old: builds world's first miniature sustainable energy

Scientist: the technology doesn’t exist Tony: challenge accepted.

Tony Stark built this in a cave! With a box of scraps! *I have no idea how this became about Shuri, but the girl is a genius and in this house we support all science geeks who succeed in different areas. Take your fragile, hurt masculinity elsewhere I don't care for it. There's like 5 white guys competing for smartest in Marvel but now it's an issue when Shuri comes into the mix? Yeah okay B Y E

For anyone curious enough; 3 gigajoules per second (GJ/s) is an average of 3 gigawatts, which is, 3 billion watts. For comparison, the largest power plants you'll find run at 1 GW. To put it another way, 3 GW is about 2/3 the power output of the entire Fukushima generating complex. Let's say the reactor works with 99% efficiency - something which simply doesn't happen. That means that 1% of the output will be in the form of heat. That's 30 MW (megawatts) of heat energy being produced inside Tony Stark's chest. As a reference point, Anglesey Aluminum, a British plant which produced 144,000 tons of aluminum per year, needed 255 MW, so you've got the heat output of a small (15,000 tons/year) smelter being cooled by Tony's blood. That will work for a (very small) fraction of a second before he explodes into a cloud of steam and flesh fragments. So basically, you need a reactor composed entirely of unobtanium and cooled by massive amounts of handwavium. Aka its straight up impossible - sorry

1:44 Yinsen's "nice to meet you too" along with the theme up beat made it my favourite scene in the entire franchise. It almost feels as if we're hearing the suit introduce itself as the palladium cools down...🙌

Tony is such a genius

The music in this entire sequence is what gets me chills everytime....man what a great movie!

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand

This scene of grown men playing with little circles and fake tools is more suspenseful than any obligatory cg alien army fight sequence

Imagine assisting Tony Stark in his project. You could learn so much from an engineer like him even if it's just watching him do stuff.

I absolutely love this whole scene. To me, there are so many small critical details and moments in this scene that define it as one of the most important scenes to literally kick off the entire MCU. This film will always define greatness. Also, watching this movie ESPECIALLY this movie is so important before watching Shang-Chi. Just my opinion

Tony Stark solved 2 of the biggest mysteries of modern physics, clean infinite energy and time travel

"The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand." -Doctor Otto Octavius.

0:52 "Don't need this." *YEET* xD

"They...are your loyal customers, sir." That line is so damn powerful in this movie. Edit: Let's remember, this dude went from being kidnapped and tortured to finding out his weapons were killing innocent civilians by the thousands daily, his business partner was a traitor to his country that made it possible (who then tried to kill Tony, and in the process, almost killed Pepper and intended to use his "anti-weapons" device to kill even MORE people), then having a ghost from his dad's past coming back to ruin what he thought was becoming his perfect life, AGAIN using his design to kill innocent people and almost kill the woman he loved, all while he knew he was dying fast with little to no hope of finding a cure, to having to save the whole damn world from an alien army and an evil God (and 'sacrificing' himself in the process), fearing the return of said army for years to come, almost dying AGAIN while he thought the woman he loved was betraying him for another man, dealing with his own mortality and having his fear of the NY incident (Avengers 1) beginning to cause potentially fatal anxiety attacks at the mere memory of it, and THEN having to fight his best friend and childhood idol while chasing his parents' murderer (who happened to be said best friend's best friend), his few friends being torn apart and separated, and finally-his world is shattered as his greatest fear is realized: Thanos is coming. The army is coming. The end is coming. He is not prepared. He doesn't know what to do. Peter Parker died, a kid he saw as a son, and he felt at fault for it. He failed. Not just Peter, but everyone. They LOST. When he finally achieved happiness after years of dealing with that failure, he had a chance to fix everything they lost-at the cost of everything he loved. In the end, he died, and knew he would if he did what he planned to. We love you 3,000 Tony.

"Tony Stark were able build this in a scrap! With a box of caves!"

Tony build the first arc reactor from scraps! And now Doc Ock calls it the power of the sun in the palm of his hands!

"Impressive.... have you considered enrolling as an art major??" 3:08

1:49 me watching the smart kid do the group project

"The call themselves the Ten Rings" After seeing Shang-Chi, little one liners like this make me wonder how many other Marvel characters they have weaved into the other movies.

Tony commitment on his inventions inspired me to be more productive

Avengers 4: Thanos: "Tony Stark built this in space! With a box of scraps!"

0:27 “they call themselves the 10 rings” 👀

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand

"They call themselves the Ten Rings." *Wait a fucken second.*

The soundtracks have always been amazing in these films.

And here we see Tony Stark building this in a cave, with a bunch of scraps.

It's 2022 and I'm just realizing that the group that kidnapped Stark was the Ten Rings

12 years later and this is still the coolest scene in the MCU. IMO, this scene really shows how smart Tony really is.

"If my math is right, and it always is.." I fucking love this character.

When Yinsen says "Nice to meet you too.", he laughs because that's not the first time they've met.

These "humble" origins of the Iron man make every iteration that comes after feel so earned.

Quality is amazing. its like watching a tv at the tv store!

What I love about iron man is it does depict Stark's genius in a realistic relatable manner. You always see "geniuses" in superhero movie. You hear a bunch of science babble but you never believe it and its often a silly trope. In the case of Stark, you do buy him as charming whizz, tech-head, engineer and hands-on mechanic capable of building a computer out of sand!

The Power of The Sun in The Palm of My Hand

I like Iron Man films for these inspiring scenes. I do not care about bombing aliens or fighting Thanus, for me Iron Man is about sitting in your workplace and creating technologies.

This MCU is much different than what we have now. The first Iron man movie seemed more serious and plot driven, and not afraid to be a little dark. Maybe its because Disney hadnt bought it by then.

best scene of ironman 1

There's something about the scenes where Tony invents stuff that is just so satisfying.
