"I'm a DC fan." I knew I liked Rob for a reason XD. I also prefer DC in general (Batman the most), but I do also like Marvel. The Avengers and the MCU is fun and all, but I think X-Men was my personal favorite Marvel franchise. I just always loved the premise of it. Anyway, I'm looking forward to starting this reaction series.

That was NOT Hugh Hefner by the way, it was Stan Lee, the first of MANY cameos in the Marvel movies since almost all these superheroes came from his glorious mind.

Amanda Hymans

It was a joke. He was calling him that because Tony called him that

Amanda Hymans

Yes I know they have been introduced wasn't what I was getting at. I can't say without spoiling it myself.

Luke Fitton

Not the biggest MCU fan but this film is such a strong beginning, i felt more invested due to the perfect mix of realism and comic book influence that this movie has. Very dark too at times. Also just want to mention how badass the mark 1 suit is that tony uses to escape.

Steven Templar

I have not posted any spoilers. I am recommending a good show starring a character to whom they have already been introduced along with the agency for which he works. If they are going to watch an MCU movie once a week or so, they will have seen everything before there are any conflicts with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Amanda Hymans

Yeah that don't need to be said for future purposes. Think about it.

Zreston Costello

See this is true, it's just one of those films majority don't even include on their lists anymore.. but I absolutely get it

Amanda Hymans

Yes they are look the MCU order on google. They are both on it. Why wouldn't they be? They are part of the MCU phases. Not sure where you get they ain't.

Amanda Hymans

Got to . Its part of them and part of the order. Why watch all the first time and see hulk and not know anything cause its not watched.

Steven Templar

I actually prefer S.H.I.E.L.D to the MCU movies to be honest. Especially the M-She-U movies they have been crapping out recently.

Amanda Hymans

They are the most understanding watching by the release dates. That helps a lot. The release order you can get on google.

Steven Templar

I don't understand what you mean. They have already seen the main character and know of S.H.I.E.L.D. I am simply bringing the great show to their attention.

Amanda Hymans

Please don't say to much.

Tom Gerhardt

Thats such an old view, that would be valid if you stop at after Phase 3. Since Marvel Phase 4, they picked it up again. If you want to get all the references you need to watch Hulk.

Aria Nadii

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is an excellent show. I'd be so up for that. It has that Whedonesque humor and pacing that I think R&T already like, being fans of Firefly.

Kim Magee

I don't adore ironman 3 either to be honest but it's all good

Kim Magee

This hulk I agree wasn't the greatest marvel film, and we all prefer the newer hulk over Norton, and I like norton

Steven Templar

That government agent Coulson is the main character in the Marvel TV series "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D". I highly recommend that you watch that series. You will love it.

Aria Nadii

Oh Thank Heavens there isn't a poll!

Zreston Costello

Surprised they're doing the Incredible Hulk tbh.. but it is there so!

Anthony Ancona

I tried getting into the MCU way back when. I saw Iron Man and a few others, but I had no concept of this Universe, and I was overwhelmed trying to keep up and how each film fitted together with the others. During Covid-19, I did watch Wandavision, and I thought now was the time to try to do the MCU, but then I got overwhelmed again because of the different ways to watch the films so you can get the most out of your viewing experience. I tried other reactors, but with you and Trin, I feel like we are in the same boat going in blind, but excited about what comes next. I always feel like I am at the theater with friends when I watch something with you. You make life enjoyable no matter the show we are watching. Cheers to you and Trin for a great 2023.

Alyssa F

Ooooh my goodness, I'm so excited!!! I love Marvel/MCU, and Tony is my man...saw Iron Man in cinema in 2008 and never looked back. Love his character and am very excited to follow your journey now. What an excellent way to start 2023 :)

Bassorelli Chiara

Loved the surprise, I saw the title and I thought that maybe you guys were doing a re-watch or something cause I didn´t believe that it would be a first time reaction, but the fact that you guys don´t know anything about it makes it so much better :))

Take a Ticket

Yeah we promised ourselves to start Marvel in the new year but kinda wanted it to be a surprise cause we get asked a lot about it 😂

Bassorelli Chiara

I can´t believe you guys are doing MARVEL, you just made my whole year. I love this so much and can´t wait for the reactions. TWD and Marvel two of my favorite things ever! I love your reactions so much, keep the great work!

james moore

all im saying is that its not apart of the universe

Amanda Hymans

Yay! I think you will like the rest as well.

Amanda Hymans

No. They need to watch them all. They don't know much about Marvel. So they need to watch all. Especially for after credit scenes. So please don't try to get them to skip nothing.

Count Monte-Cristo

Yes! Yes! Yes!

james moore

yes everyone knows Tony is Iron Man. His ego too big to keep that a secret lmao. And marvel movies are all full of comedy as well as action/drama

Kim Magee

I kind of agree, but they also have a responsibility to live a life and be happy, Tony started very out of control, but he did the right thing, with major risk to himself, what I love about stark is we see him mature over the years slowly :)

james moore

you guys have to be the best reactors out . By the way, I believe if you do a poll, everyone would say skip the Hulk. Hell Marvel even pretends it didnt happen

james moore

yea the whole Marvel universe is amazing

Kim Magee

Yeah I started making a list of the ones I was excited about and started with Guardians and Thor and Hulk and The Avengers an ant man and then I thought oh s*** I'm just naming all of them deleted the comment lol

Scarlett Monrow

I remember watching Iron Man cartoons on TV as a kid and when the announcement came out that RDJ will play Tony, I was really surprised and unconvinced. But after the first 10 minutes - RDJ was Tony for me. Great time watching this movie and that's even though I didn't like the character of Tony Stark. I can't stand geniuses that waste their potential on drugs, booze and women. If you are so smart and rich, you have a certain responsibilities before the world.

Eisbär

Ok, important detail, the man you identified as "Hefner" is actually Stan Lee, the one who created the universe and all the comics, look out for him in the movies, he always has a small appearance :)

Laura Dawson

Happy New Year! Thank you for this wonderful surprise! I love This movie, it’s such a great introduction to fun-vee that is the early Marvel Cinematic Universe. So excited that you’re watching these. Robert Downey Jr was perfect casting for Tony Stark and his charisma is - I think - a big part of what makes the Iron Man movies so entertaining. Can’t wait for the next one!

Papi Dillion

youre in for a long journey of beautiful cinema

Aura C

Yes, please do all of them ☺️, there will be a lot of fun, especially with Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy and Dr Strange .... Avengers.. All of them are nice

Happy New Year, Cindy 😊

Hey Shelley 😊 well I speak fluent french, fluent arabic, not sure if my english is that fluent 😅 but practicing it with Rob helps^^, I understand italian and a little bit of german. I always loved languages in general. Very nice you get your daughter in learning another language 😍

Sherry Bandito

First time watching, was better than I expected

Cindy Clarkson

Oh, I forgot: Happy new year to Rob & Trin and all Patreons!

Zpitzer

Oh no :) Now you have to watch the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Zpitzer

Trin is French

Shelley

Hey Trin not to be nosey but I caught Rob's comment asking you what they where saying at the start of the film. Can I ask how many languages you speak? Obviously by your accent you're not British 😅 but you speak so fluently. Sorry if that's nosey. I just find that so cool. I've learnt/learning sign language for my little boy as he's non verbal so I'm obsessed with spoken and unspoken language at the minute. My daughter has Spanish lessons every week too, I want her to have possibilities when she grows up.

Josh Tiley

Oh and yes, these all have those mid or post credit scenes so keep an eye out

Kim Magee

Faith would prob want to kill me for posting this, she is 15 now, only wears black, no dresses, no photos, her twin is the opposite except no pinky colours

Shelley

Whatever days suit you both best. Don't put pressure on it just film them when you can untill you both find a time slot that's best for you. Won't lie - I'm excited for this new marvel journey and your reaction to this film was just the best. So glad you where pulled In with the ACDC music from the first scene. Didnt take you for such rock stars 🎸

Cindy Clarkson

Great movie and the first 30 to 45 min. are in my opinion a fantastic example of nearly perfect writing and pacing of a movie!

Take a Ticket

Happy new year! Yeah we wanted to start them in the New Year and we had 1 more week until we start movies from the poll. Now we just have to figure out what day we do the Marvel ones 😊

Happy new year! 💕

hahaha looks so cool

Kim Magee

Oh forgot we started with Edward Norton as hulk, not one of my fave films from the marvel universe, but so many laughs coming

Kim Magee

Oh and Happy, Monica's boyfriend in friends is Jon Favreau he is amazing, he is the executive producer of Iron Man and many Marvel movies and Disney live action and Star Wars in the mandalorian as well as being in a lot of stuff to I love Jon Favreau he is in an awesome movie called love and sex,so funny

Kim Magee

I have to share a funny video of the iron Man experience that was at Disneyland, they turn you into iron Man on a screen, you fly and shoot, mix that with a 6 year old on the spectrum, which we didn't know then, iron Man with a difference https://youtu.be/WypnuXdVqKQ

Kim Magee

Happy new year guys, 🎉 had to rush off to watch your iron Man reaction before i really posted, I love iron man and omg love Robert Downey Junior, this is what got his career back after his jail term, and he is so great

Miss Timi Fantastico

I love how you so casually dropped this wonderful surprise!

ln_wanderbooks

Happy New Year! Bonne Année 2023! Everybody is always asking for Marvel. Believe it or not, I only discovered them last year XD I tried Iron Man and Thor when they came out but never liked them, it will be more fun to watch them along with you. I could never go through any of the Iron Man. The following ones with other superheroes are great though (personal taste of course).
