Marvel Movie Minute

This is a rough minute for movers. We’ve all done it. We’ve all made mistakes. But the horror that befalls Tony’s convertible is unspeakable. Tony asks JARVIS to do a thing that isn’t the thing that JARVIS ends up doing, so, you know... reinventing words for technology is fun. Ok, there’s not a LOT going on in this minute and frankly, we’re getting a little antsy for our upcoming SCIENCE MONTAGE!...

So, so Latin this minute. From quips to quotes to the high classics, we tie it all to Natasha. Even sculptures are giving Tony a hard time this minute. Maybe he’ll be able to throw away the poison berries? Thankfully, we stumble across the keys to the future because hardware mode is coming.

Pepper really wants Tony... to leave. Which helicopters have wheels? There’s some confusion about who’s the boss, but it’s really just on Tony’s part. Gwyneth is awesome here, as is Favreau himself, as they head out the door leaving Tony and Natalie behind.

Pepper is allergic to strawberries. There are some serious monitor continuity errors. Background buildings grow logos. What the heck was going on in the editing of this scene? Meanwhile, we learn that Tony has no idea how to apologize. But at least we get a sense they actually care about each other. Where might this go?

Pepper’s packing up Tony’s old stuff, and turns out the model of the World’s Fair is there too. Elger Esser’s photo is hanging up. Who is Burt? Tony tries to apologize but those damn swinging sticks are distracting him.

After Dad’s message, Tony takes a drive. Alejandro Patiño makes an appearance as a vendor and Tony trades his gift watch from Obadiah Stane in the first movie for some strawberries. Pepper works in the office with Bambi Arbogast. They want the Mark II suit back. And yeah... there’s a newscaster in here who’s appearance is now a bit... awkward.

Is Howard’s message to Tony an early deepfake? We think so, made by Nick Fury to sell Tony on this whole thing. Damon Lindelof helped with it too, but it still just doesn’t work for us. See what you think.

Young Tony makes an appearance. Shout out to Davin Ransom! Howard clearly doesn’t like filming for long periods of time as he makes a crass joke. RDJ does great in this scene with his simple looks. And he starts getting a sense of who his father was.

Tony digs around in his dad’s old trunk. Art department easter eggs pop up on the blueprint. Turns out Howard was a comic book fan. But Antarctica? Tony may be using a Compaq iPAQ? So where is Jarvis? And Dad leaves a great big telegraphed hint for Tony.

Justin spends almost this entire minute talking about the RDX missile he’s pitching to Major Allen and Rhodey. And Kyle breaks out yet another attempt at an accent. There’s talk about the Eiffel Tower, the Pietà, the Sphinx, and Ulysses. And Rhodey makes the big purchase.

Why are we talking about hippies and beatniks? Because otherwise, it’s straight-up gun porn in this minute. Clearly, Hammer knows his guns. And what’s amazing is that the screenwriter Justin Theroux was feeding Hammer’s speech to Sam Rockwell through an earbud. Crazy.

Rhodey and Major Allen pull apart the Mark II suit. It’s Justin Hammer’s birthday because now he’s got an Iron Man suit. And now he’s chatting with the military about firepower. There’s weapon talk as Hammer does his salesman pitch. He knows his stuff!

We try to figure out exactly what Tony and Nick have been talking about these last few minutes. Would Howard and Nick really have had this conversation about Tony being the perfect one to solve the arc reactor power problem? It really doesn’t make sense. So that means Nick’s lying... and Tony likely knows but is interested anyway. So that’s pretty interesting... right? And how old are Nick and How...

The exposition dump just keeps on a-dumpin’, but Nick throws out something a bit more... poetic. There’s more daddy talk. Agent Coulson’s back and SHIELD’s been on guard this whole time. And Howard Stark apparently handed down his... robe?... to Tony.

The arc reactor is a stepping stone to some greater source of power... but never talked about again. We go on a tangent about Val Kilmer and Sly Stallone. We get some backstory for the Vanko family and its relationship with House Stark. And what’s going on with those bad conversational edits? And yeah, Kyle does some bad accents again.

What is Ivan’s plan? Is he completely winging it still? Are there too many villains in this film? Or is it ACTUALLY Tony himself? We talk about a goofy War Machine deleted scene but one we would’ve liked to see in the film. And how about Delta Force? And WOW is there a lot happening in the MCU right now!

What is Ivan up to with the suits? Does Jack seriously think he can get his head in there? And how about using Justin’s own words against him? Way to go, Ivan!

Checking back in with Hammer, he shows up to check in on Ivan, busy at work on his suit, and presents him with his bird... but it’s not his bird! Or is it? And we explore the relationship between Justin and Jack. And let’s not forget that Justin sees something mysterious in the suit. What could it be? And do you want to touch my monkey? Film Sundries Watch this film: Disney+ • iTunes • Amazon • Yo...

Fury and Romanoff inject Stark to help him feel better, revealing that they’ve not only known what’s going on with him all along but also managed to figure out how to ease Tony’s symptoms a bit. We talk about a lot of the awkward editing throughout this scene and some of the bad takes used. And what are these mystery elements SHIELD is using?

Stark and Fury continue their donuts and coffee date, but is it actually Nick Fury? Who knows anymore? And hey, it’s Black Widow! Why is she introduced that way? And why is Nick greeting her this way? Oh dear… Film Sundries Watch this film: Disney+ • iTunes • Amazon • YouTube Join the conversation on Discord Script Transcript Original theatrical trailer Original poster artwork Iron Man Tony Stark...

Rhodey meets the military to turn the suit over to them. Tony eats a donut and chats with Nick Fury. That’s right. Samuel L. Jackson is back! We celebrate actors gaining notoriety in their careers after 40 and crazy contracts that actors might be offered to play multiple roles. Not to mention actors who played the same character a LOT of times. Film Sundries Watch this film: Disney+ • iTunes • Ama...

Rhodey does a fly-by at Edwards Air Force Base, but why did he take so long to get there? We talk about that, try clearing some things up between the Mark II and III suits, chat about why the suit is so shiny, and debate when we should start calling him War Machine.

Cameras are amazing. Eye, oracle, concerned friend... we celebrate camera movement hard as we hit the 1-hour mark! There’s a significant question of the work ethic of our AI aid. We’re still working through the geography of Tony’s house, now anchored in the kitchen. And of course, we must express concern at a key piece of technology that Tony allows to simply fly out of his house. Film Sundries Wa...

First a correction: we were wrong about geography! But as usual, fixing one thing breaks another. So, this minute, we pull apart Tony’s fantastic house with a celebration of a terrific soundstage. Once again, a Marvel crowd has a difficult time gauging when their health and safety is on the line. This minute gives us a great action beat as the music beat drops... hard. Iron Man roars.

It’s Rhodey v. Tony in the living room this week as we take on the legacy of famous sidekicks that lead us to James Rhodes in the suit. Plus, we get one of the most famous Marvel promotional clips used in just about every MCU reel since its release. There’s a weightlifting fight with wacky sound effects coupled with an off-screen fight between music licensing attorneys, and a blessed continuity er...
