Iron Man 3

To help promote the release of Iron Man 3, there was an "interactive experience" virtual reality game called Become Iron Man. It enables users to step into Stark's shoes and experience the Iron Man armors' functions, including flight, combat, and even customizing the armors. And this image is taken from it.

Just thought I'd put that out there for those who create the articles.

My Top 3 favorite Marvel Movie post-credits scenes include:

1. Captain America: Civil War Post-Credits Scene #2 (When Peter tells Aunt May about his fight, then discovers his Spider-symbol)

2. Iron Man 3 Post-Credits Scene (When Tony talks to Bruce about his life as if Bruce is his therapist)

3. Thor: Ragnarok Post-Credits Scene #2 (When Grandmaster - Jeff Goldblum - tells the rebels that “it’s a tie”)

What is your favorite Christmas scene in a Marvel movie/show?

Happy December 🎅🌨🦌

My Top 5 favorite Marvel movies are:

1. Spider-Man: Homecoming

2. Iron Man

3. Iron Man 3

4. Captain America: Civil War

5. Avengers: Endgame

I like Spider-Man: Homecoming because it showed how Peter Parker lived as a high-schooler and as a superhero! I love how Peter single-handedly took down a crime ring. I also like how it showed Tony and Peter’s friendship begin.

Iron Man was a great movie to start the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I like Iron Man because it had a great plot and I love how it didn’t just rush into him inventing the Iron Man suit. It showed him being unlikable at first, then showed what happened in Afghanistan, then - he was Iron Man…

“Big man in a suit of armor, take that away and what are you?” Iron Man 3 perfectly answered Steve’s question! Iron Man 3 is particularly my favorite Iron Man movie because it showed Tony fight without the suit, actually displaying smart and strategic fighting skills. I also like how he formed a relationship with Harley Keener. Plus, Tony finally got that shrapnel out of his chest!

I like Captain America: Civil War because the fight scenes are so vivid, you feel like you’re experiencing it in real life (we have the Russo brothers to thank for that)! The Airport Battle is my favorite scene in this movie! I know both teams have their reasons, so I can’t pick a side.

Finally, I like Avengers: Endgame because it had a great storyline - The Time Heist. I love the time travel movie conversation between Scott Lang, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, James Rhodes, and Nebula. Plus it had Tony Stark being a dad to Morgan. And Tony finally hugged Peter back!

Those are my Top 5 favorite Marvel movies and moments! What are yours?

Mines are Project Insight, Taking A Stand, “Thor: The Dark World”, “Iron Man 3”, & Thor Kills The Destroyer.

These are my top five favorite scores and as stated in a fellow MCU Fandom user’s thread, Theme repetition is not a good thing with the MCU. When you hear these themes they absolutely scream Iron Man, Thor & Captain America. What are you guys’ favorite Scores/OSTs of the MCU?

This is just my list, not trying to push it on anyone. I just want to write it down.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

2. Avengers: Infinity War

3. Black Panther

4. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

6. Thor: The Dark World

7. Avengers: Endgame

8. Iron Man 3

9. Black Widow

10. Iron Man

Runners-Up: Captain America: Civil War, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Far From Home

In particular, I noticed how the design of the Mark 15 Iron Man armor in Iron Man 3 was the realization of the "Stealth Armor" concept art seen in The Art of Iron Man book. As such, I keep wondering if the Mark 7 War Machine armor might be the realization of this initial concept art of the Mark 5, as seen in its article.

Obviously, this is just speculation, as not much more has been revealed about it, but it's got me thinking for quite a bit. But what do you all suppose?

What was his story arc that started from Iron Man 1 to Iron Man 3?

What was his motivation for developing a hatred for Tony?

This probably isn't a fair comparison, but does anyone feel like Love and Thunder is the Iron Man 3 of Phase 4? By that, I mean both of them have been some of the MCU's most divisive work yet. Probably, because they're two of some of the most director-driven movies yet.

I've had this idea of perhaps fan casting and naming Harley Keener's unknown sister.

Her name would be Abigail (Abbie) Keener, born November 14th 2006. (Harley's January 2002)

She's a sporty normal girl, with dirty blonde hair and chestnut brown eyes.

Or should she be McKenna Grace?

Iron Man wasn't the only video game that was made to help promote the film when it came out in 2008. There was also an iOS/mobile game titled Iron Man: Aerial Assault. If we could somehow also have an article on it here, that would be just awesome. (I for one would particularly like to know who did its music).

Also, I really hope that we could also have an article dedicated to Lego Marvel's Avengers. Given how it adapts Marvel's The Avengers Assemble, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (with some of its D.L.C.s adapting (parts of) season 1 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ant-Man, and Captain America: Civil War), and features the archive audio, voice, and music footage of all those films, while altering some aspects to fit its Lego aspects, I think it also having its own article here would be great.

I’m sure this has been debated before on this forum, but the Disney+ Facebook page just posted this question:

Is Iron Man 3 a Christmas movie or not?

MOVIE REVIEW :

What we wear becomes social shorthand, a way to discern and judge and often misjudge the people we meet. An oil-stained shirt and pair of overalls tells us something. An Armani suit says something else. An emblazoned T-shirt might trigger a chuckle or a school suspension. We cover ourselves in cotton and cashmere and designer labels, and there’s a danger that we can lose ourselves underneath it all.

For years, Tony Stark has been defined by his suit—not a cotton or wool or silk number, but a blend made from exotic metals and embedded computers and super-powerful mini-engines. Sure, he may still be a genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist underneath it all. And yet, strip the iron from Iron Man and you have, merely, a man.

Stark is feeling all too mortal these days. He can’t sleep. He’s subject to debilitating panic attacks. His Avengers-sponsored sojourn to New York left the man a shell of his former self—funny, given that the man’s self-made shell has embodied him for so long.

But evil cares little about Tony’s lingering psychoses. Whenever Iron Man strikes down one threat, another rises to take its place, and this time it’s embodied in the Mandarin. Bedazzled in rings and cloaked in mystery, this bin Laden-style leader hijacks America’s airwaves and promises to shower death and terror on the nation’s people.

And when one of his attacks injures Tony’s longtime bodyguard, Tony’s had enough. A furious Stark calls out the Mandarin in the media, inviting the terrorist to stop by for a taste of terminal justice. The Mandarin does—by proxy. Helicopters blow apart Stark’s Malibu mansion, burying the billionaire’s high-tech toys in rubble or ocean. And while Iron Man still lives, his metallic shell has been rocked to its core, energy sapped, defenses breeched, computerized brain useless.

Tony Stark is a superhero emperor without clothes, a genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist without a supersuit. He lives, yes. But without his metallic cocoon, is he still a hero? Can he still save the world?

VIOLENT CONTENT :

After Pepper kills a bad guy (for what would seem like the 14th time), she turns, horrified, to Tony. “That was really violent!” she says.

And she’s right. In fact, the whole movie is really violent. And while we’ve certainly come to expect a level of chaos and carnage in these sorts of superflicks (I’ve yet to hear of a superhero film based on the exploits of the Avenging Pacifist), this one comes with more of an edge than you might expect.

The first act of terrorism we witness takes place in Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre, filled with innocent tourists who are (mostly) utterly vaporized. (We see Tony’s bodyguard lying on the ground, his face severely gouged.) The scene might make some moviegoers think of the Boston Marathon bombings, and indeed, the Mandarin makes it a point of pride to hit America in the fashion of a terrorist—striking out at civilian targets and gloating over the results. He talks about how his men attacked a Middle Eastern church filled with the spouses and children of American military personnel, comparing it to the 1864 Sand Creek, Colo., massacre (when American troops killed Native American women and children while the braves were away).

But even discounting moments of uncomfortable real-world parallels, some of the scenes here are still downright disturbing. The evildoers don’t make use of mere suicide bombers, but people who actually explode—heating up from the inside out until they pop like kiln-heated sausages. There is very little gore, but the people in the throes of this transformation are obviously in horrible pain, and we see the heat radiate from their skin, eyeballs and mouths. We see veins and bones outlined by the literal light from within.

You can probably guess from all this that the body count is pretty high, what with the innocent civilians destroyed by the Mandarin’s men and the scads of evildoers laid low by Tony, Rhodes and their phalanx of armor-plated suits. People are bashed and smashed and crashed. They get hit with fists and feet and bullets and jet-like weapons and flying metallic gloves and grand pianos. They’re burned or superheated or submerged in water or thrown into walls or plunged into massive fires or flung from aircraft.

We see someone’s mangled body hanging lifelessly from telephone wires. Another person has an arm sliced off. An attacker is choked with a pair of handcuffs before her neck burns through the metal. It’s suggested that someone takes a bullet to the head live on television. We see images of war and violence on TV. A man is strung up above an immolating pool of oil.

Tony spends the majority of the movie wearing blood on his face. He painfully injects sensors into his arms. He crashes in his suit. His suit crashes into him. Pepper is manhandled, nearly strangled and, in a way, tortured. And I should note that some of the bad guys are gals, which triggers some pretty serious, pretty up-close-and-personal—violent—battles between the sexes. We hear how someone contemplated suicide.

CRUDE OR PROFANE LANGUAGE :

One s-word. Four or five uses each of “a‑‑,” “d‑‑n” and “h‑‑‑.” (A couple of those come from the kid in Tennessee.) We also hear “p‑‑‑ed” twice and that same number of “bloody.” There’s one use of “b‑‑ch,” one of “p‑‑‑y” and one of “d–k.” There are more than a dozen misuses of God’s name (once paired with “d‑‑n”).

DRUG AND ALCOHOL CONTENT :

A villain admits to having substance abuse problems before his evil employees found him. Tony asks if they helped him get off the stuff. No, the villain says. “They offered me more.” We see him drink beer. Others down wine and champagne. Tony lounges in a huge wine cellar.

So, honest question, is there an actor who has been previously in another MCU project, who you would like to see recast as a different character?

Personally, I would like to see Ben Kingsley, Erin Moriarty and Sigourney Weaver back. My idea is Sigourney Weaver for Abigail Brand, Erin Moriarty as Magik, and Ben Kingsley for Magneto.

For all those fans who bitched and moaned about this guys portrayal in Iron Man 3 clearly don’t understand that the mandarin WASN’T in it, was never GOING to be in it, and for all intents and purposes, shouldn’t even BE in it. You guys honestly wanted to see an accurate depiction of a racist fu manchu caricature that was made to promote violence against Asians in this modern day and age? (But why couldn’t they let Ben Kingsley play him then?) because then you would accuse the film of whitewashing, so you see you just can’t have it either way. And really, like I said, the theme of the Iron man movies is of dealing with the sins of the past and demons we create, and you guys honestly wanted him to fight a racially insensitive space wizard? That would seem really out of place and not fit in with the theme of the Iron man movies. (But he’s one of his most iconic enemies) here’s where your wrong on that, Iron Man doesn’t have an impressive rogue’s gallery like Batman or Spiderman does (I mean really, the melter? The living Laser?) Iron Man’s greatest demons and enemies are usually his inner demons and the ones he usually creates on his own, which is something we have seen in these movies, hell there was even a story about him fighting alcoholism. I’m fairly certain that Marvel didn’t want to glorify violence against Asians and wanted to make a new villain that just so happens to have his name but not the actual character himself, plus isn’t the fact that he’s going to appear in Shang Chi more than enough proof that they do care about these characters? (But it feels like Disney...) no they didn’t. That’s not how it works, Disney doesn’t tell Marvel what to do, everything Marvel does is of Marvel’s choice. I found the misdirection to be brilliant and a way to keep us the loyal fans of the comics surprised and not give us the same old crap that we’ve seen before. And you guys are complaining about a portrayal of a character who wasn’t even in it! And besides, the fact that we are getting the mandarin in Shang chi is more than enough proof that they do want to use this character but in a way that isn’t offensive.

Happy eighth anniversary to Iron Man 3!

In Ironman 3 he undergoes surgery to remove the pieces of shrapnel embedded in his heart.

In Iron man 2 he could have undergone same rather than creating new element..
