this movie is still the most satisfying "man building his own technology" movie I've ever seen

"Its a flight stabilizer, its completely harmless" Famous last words

This is why Tony is one of the best geniuses in media. We actually see him work on the tech bit by bit and we see him fail, making him more relatable than someone who just gets it right first try. He makes mistakes but he uses that to improve his work, he doesn’t simply say “This is good, but it could be better”, he actually encounters problems and then goes on to resolve those problems to stop them from happening again.

Tony: “Start at 10% power.” Boots: *Activate Yeet feet.*

He's not just building a suit...he's really building the foundation of the Marvel Universe.

Goodness, this movie aged like fine wine.

The fact that those first iteration thrusters were only at 10% and threw him into the ceiling is mind blowing and it fully makes sense that his more advanced suits could eventually go into space

The fire extinguisher gets me every time. He's basically doing this all by himself and his machines he built to help just have the same sarcastic personality as he does.

As much as I love Vision, I still miss JARVIS. Tony and him are a match made in heaven.

Hard to imagine just how many future engineers were inspired by this scene alone.

This is what a True Engineer looks like; the amount of Passion for his craft and the feeling of inventing something new is Extraordinary 👌

1:55 I don’t know why but that background score and his effort while making his project.. makes me inspiring..like goosebumps..

They may be less advanced, but there’s something more satisfying about his early suits * just to clarify from all the comments I’ve gotten, I’m talking about the suit up sequence. It’s less practical and versatile but just looks so awesome to me

**repulsor blows him back** "I didnt expect that." Every engineer in the world: i felt that.

1:48 Just now realizing THAT was only 10% thrust meaning he'd have to only use like .005% just to hover. That's crazy.

This Scene is WAY more entertaining than building 'end game's time machine '.

How my grandma sees me change the HDMI cable.

whether you like Marvel or not, you gotta admit they are spot on picking actors for each role

“It’s completely harmless.” *Proceeds to blast himself off screen with one shot. “I didn’t expect that.” I love how he stayed so calm during that whole interaction.

The thing I love about Iron Man 1 was that we saw a character who is a engineer actually being an engineer. As in: - Having a rough idea of something and trying it, seeing it worked somewhat, kinda, and realising it could be much better if he did a proper version of it (Mk1 Suit) - Designing a new version piece by piece and experimenting - Making mistakes and discovering things working better or worse than he expected - Spending time actually doing the work, sitting around coding, designing, welding, soldering, wiring, etc - Taking the final version for a test run, encountering some 'bugs' and making adjustments based on that This is actual engineering, this is what an actual engineer does. It might be amped up to fantasy superhero level, but this is actual engineering.

This movie's technology is still ahead of current time.

Am I the only one that miss his robots buddy that were helping him around?

I like how his technological issues isn’t that his builds aren’t working or aren’t good enough. It’s that they are TOO good. Way beyond what he expects. It’s kinda of a funny twist to trial and error while also showing his intelligence

I was 7 years old when this movie came out. And while my love for iron man has faded. 15 years later 2:02 is still seared into my brain. When I think of the MCU and watching it throughout my childhood this is the image I think of. And how young me thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Everything from the visuals to the music is perfect.

And who would have thought that Tom Cruise almost play Iron Man. Apparently Tom Cruise was the safer choice but they took a risk with RDJ and it pay off. He’s now the face of Marvel and it’s hard too see anyone else as Iron Man

I just love how on board Jarvis was when Tony was deciding on making the mark II suit with no questions asked, like Tony just woke up one day and decided on making a weaponized flying suit and Jarvis was like “ You son of a bitch I’m in”

Even people who aren't fans of superhero movies loved this one. Speaks volumes

The scenes of him making his first couple of suits are truly iconic highlights of the Iron man movies, the attention to detail, watching a genius design an iron suit is so satisfying.

This scene proves that Tony Stank is smarter than his own computer.

No matter how little progress you're making always remember: Even Tony Stark screwed up multiple times making his power suit.

The beginning of era, a legend.. I am so glad I was born into the MCU era.

1:49 This part gets me every single time! 🤣

1:00 Tony Stark built his best friend. Someone that takes all his verbal punishment, can't talk back but doesn't get hurt by it and is always there when Tony needs him. Saved his life too. Amazing robot buddy.

I kinda miss the tinkering, showing Tony's intelligence and mechanical/engineering skills. Now it's just implied how smart he is, and simply pressing a button on his chest to suit up.

The fact that if he launched above 50% thrust capacity he would be dead 😁 1:43

Look at when he fires the flight stabilizer at 2:44 , the arc reactor brightens and sends an impulse to the repulsor, very cool attention to detail

This is how I feel like when I make a arduino blinking led

Peter Parker was only 5 years old when Stark made this first Mark II suit. Holy shit.

The Iron Man Suit is badass, but lets talk about how Stark programmed his computer's trash can to actually rattle and make a sound like a real metal trash can.

1:07 and Ultron took that Seriously. Now I understand why Ultron hates Stark so much.

In Iron Man 4 we'll see the entire MCU is just a dream Tony had in his coma caused by the events at 1:50 He'll be back

1:48 A real life test would probably break some bones, at least! 🦴

i loved the 'heat' or distortion just before it goes off (you can see Pepper through a haze of sorts) little details like this are like little gems to discover the more you watch it. awesome details

I loved these scenes, I remember seeing this movie back in 2008 and I was 11 and it inspired me to get into coding! Such a great film!

this is the moment where MCU inspired millions of young men to pursue an engineering degree and later in their life will shift to business management after realizing they forgot the "fiction" part of "science fiction"

Drax was in this scene, but you can’t see him.

Is it me or watching tony build a suit is so satisfying

His voice was so calm, he knows what he's doing, he's on top of the situations even when things go beyond his expectation.

Tony Stark: "if my math is correct (and it always is)" Also Tony Stark: "let's see if 10% thrust can achieve lift doing no calculations whatsoever prior and not wear so much as a helmet to protect my skull in case I go into the wall at speed of yes"

*Arm repulsor blasts him off screen with a loud crash "... I didn't expect that..." For some reason I just love that part, especially hearing Tony off screen.

I just realized, he made his own vocabulary so in case anyone hacks his computer, they won’t be able to tell what the notes mean

The most iconic scene in MCU! Love this movie ngl! ❤️

Tears streamed down my face after seeing Spidey doing the same thing as 2:10

1:49 “delete that footage!”

I really like the heroes that; instead of having powers, they build their equipment. It spoke of genius, hard-work and perseverance. The physical manifestation of Edison's: "I will not say i failed a 1000 times, I will say i have discovered a 1000 ways that can cause failure."

And thus, Tony started learning from his mistakes and became the Invincible Iron Man

tony launching himself into a wall is an accurate representation of why woman have longer life spans lol

What I love the most is how much trial and error Tony went through to build his iconic red and yellow suit. Learning from his mistakes until he had the basic blue print that would serve for all future Iron Man suits really does give it that engineering feel.

I always loved all the scenes where he was building something, being the genius he was. Love Tony always ❤

I always picture Stan sitting in the theatre (hopefully) thinking "This is it! This is Ironman! He's got it!"

2:37 is how you make a guy in a metal suit shooting energy blasts from his hands at terrorists and aliens believable.

1:49 *Iron Man theme plays* *Roll Credits*

I remember watching this movie 4 times in theater (in France, if you go watch movies the morning, the price is reduced and as student AND disabled person I had multiples cards to reduce the price so it costed me like 1/4 of the full price of 4 watching), these scens always make me laugh even now when rewatching them. I really loved how they modernized Tony and Iron man. I even consider Tony to be more heroic in Avengers movies. RIP Tony.

No MCU movie has this kind of depth apart from this one.

Why can’t he just use a normal keyboard like the rest of us

engineer lvl = god

From this to Nano Tech I will never forget this Iron Man

Almost 14 years and like 26 movies later and this is still either my first or second favorite MCU movie(possibly behind Winter Soldier but if it is it ain't by much) and scenes like this are a major reason why..i remember seeing this in theaters may 2008 and this is the part where I really fell in love with this movie ..i mean we got to see Tony and others talk about how smart he was and we kinda saw it in the cave but watching him build the mark 2 from the ground up was when I realized his superpower is his mind..i mean i knew it from the comics but it's just as cool if not cooler seeing him design and build this suit as any action scene in the movie...they showed his genius in the second and third movie and really in all his appearances but it was so fresh as i had never seen it done like this. Though I wish it was longer..good thing Tony didn't go with 15%...even in 2022 i can't think of any movie,comic,tv series etc that made being a genius look so damn cool..I'm glad the MCU has become so successful but i do miss the more down to earth(no pun intended or maybe it is)MCU movies

Remember when Superhero Movies were funny? This is pure gold 9 years later.

This is how Iron Man should have stayed, grounded in reality somewhat and extended it a bit from there, instead of a cartoony CGI suit. Also it was cool to see him talking about having a private server like he knows how to code and to see him soddering pieces of his suit together. Stuff like that is awesome

This video itself is the epitome of "Tony Stark learns from his mistake"

Can’t imagine anyone else playing Tony Stark than Robert Downey Jr. Guy does an amazing job as the smartest guy on Earth.

We need a scene of Morgan watching these recordings

As much as like the bleeding edge armor and nanotech, there's just something awesome about Tony building his markII armor, the engineering process just can't be matched.

I just realized a minor theory as I rewatch these, which btw are still so fun to rewatch, never gets boring. I think Tony has been so used to making such high destructive weapons without limits that his idea of “limitations” is so skewed. So when he does 10% or a non-weapon, he’s forgetting how incredibly powerful his past creations were. It’s like if Tony were to say that 10% of the Hulk’s strength is a flick. Lol

“I didn’t expect that”…gets me every time

2:45 Yo you could see heat waves forming when the beam started to fire

When Tony gets blown across the room just like his father was back in Captain America's movie, like father like son. XD

Scenes like this is what the newer MCU is missing. No big CGI just some cool practical effects and a good script.

Still way way way cooler than nano suits scene, those circuit sounds just hits different

I really wish there were more scenes in the more recent movies showing Tony actually building everybody's shit.

1:40 ~ Even years later, the "10% thrust & fire extinguisher" bit still cracks me up every time I see it. :D

Man the music captures the feel of Tony so well, wish they carried it over..

Tony Stark is the perfect archetype for the Maker mindset and nobody can convince me otherwise

It’s amazing that almost 15 years later this technology is still ahead of its time.

1:49 *Skull fracture with epidural hemathoma* *Tony is dead*

Peppers reaction was flawless. What a amazing actress.

The graphic of the heat pushing off his hand before the repulsor blast goes off is so good.

Tony came a long way from experimenting what works with the repulsor technology to fighting a bald purple alien with 4 Infinity Stones

I love the practical-ness of this all. Feels real, like it was constructed. I really dislike the helmet morphing in the later films. And the instant suits over other suits

No matter how many times i watch this scene it is satisfying to watch each time

Just started studying aerospace engineering and honestly, some of the stuff we're doing makes me feel like im tony stark

2:38 "I thought you said you were done making weapons..." "It isn't. This is a flight stabilizer. It's completly harmless." *BOOM* "I didn't expect that to happen." Haha lol. This movie shows how awesome Iron Man truly is.

"Jarvis you up?" "for you sir always" So touching. I hope vision will be as close to Tony as Jarvis was.

I love to come here all the time anytime I need a huge dose of motivation from him.

i still love watching this movie even though its from a while ago. I've watched it like 100 times

Oh thank fuck Tom Cruise didn't get this role..

This movie is underrated by this point it’s still one of the best Superhero movies ever and it’s a miracle how well it works. I miss the score we had in the first 2,the noises her armours made,his garage and focus on his relationship with pepper. Robert Downey Jr is Iron Man.

I keep coming back to this masterpiece even after more than a decade

This 60fps is beautiful, that was my first thought on the video starting
