Senna.
Pals.
What's up guys?
It's Kristen Steffapino.
Coming in with Iron Man number two.
What?
What?
I was so obsessed with Iron Man 1.
And the ending with that clip hanger, I can't wait to get to this one.
So welcome to date night or a girl's slumber party.
Whichever you prefer, I'm cool with.
With that being said, let's get started.
Thor.
Thor.
Sir.
Oh my...
Okay.
Okay, you know what's so funny is I actually was expecting Ironman one to be, to have this kind of feel for it.
I'm glad it didn't.
Now, I know where I'm talking about Iron Man, the first one.
I love how now it's what I thought it was going to be about, like all the action, all the bangs.
Like, I mean, there was a lot of action in the first one as well, but it was just a little bit more, like, simple and like humbling to walk into this new world.
and I feel like in Iron Man too
we're still establishing who Ironman is
and still figuring him out
and I love that we're still taking it slow
he's developing his character along the way
and he's still, he is a prick
and he is still like arrogant
and has like this ego.
I don't know. I'm hoping that as we go
he's going to become a little more humble
I hope he never loses his edge
and that spicy little attitude he has.
He is definitely a wild firecracker.
Oh my gosh, I love, I love Ironman.
I'm obsessed.
I love that Tony and Mrs. Puts, Ms. Pepper.
I love that they're an item because I feel like everybody can see that coming.
Man, the way they argue and their chemistry together is just absolutely fire.
Absolutely fire.
I'm obsessed with it.
And we have Natalie.
She's a badass.
I love her and her character in this, like,
absolutely outstanding. I also like our James, our military guy. He's amazing. I love that they used
his and Tony's relationship and took that to another level. You know, it's interesting because I feel
like the storyline on this one with their friendship is something that that is real. We do have
those friends that we trust, but at the same time, then we every once in a while, you know,
we upset one another and we might try to, you know, kind of like not necessarily get back at
them, but we try to get them to do the right things.
Then we get so irritated that we're like, no, nope, and our stubbornness comes out.
And then when you become a team again in those moments, when it matters the most, that's how you know you have a solid friend and a good one.
The U.S. Marshall, I thought that was pretty great when she served Tony.
I thought that was a really funny scene.
I'm obsessed with the senator.
I love him.
I hope he continues to stay in all the Ironman films.
I don't know.
Like there's something about the senator in the sense of like so lovable.
and he's such a hater.
We need that.
And he gets under Tony's skin.
Like the way he gets under Tony's skin
is just the best thing on the planet
because I feel like not many people
are able to do that.
Normally he like shrugs it off
and he's like, yeah, whatever.
But these two guys get under each other's skin
just equally, which is pretty great.
Okay, Van Vanco, I think is his name.
The other villain was fire.
Like he was a skin.
A very scary ass villain.
They threw that shot in there and he has like nothing but his bottoms like his undies on.
And yo, I would not want to be that close to him.
Even like that, even locked up, he looks like a guy that could just destroy everything and just break whatever he's put on.
And I'm kind of bummed out that he died because I almost wish that he was a character that comes back later or something because I feel like he was just kind of cool.
He was like really cool but scary
And I loved how smarty was
Almost at the level of Tony's
Okay this is something I do wish
I wish that him and Iron Man
Had more
Scenes together
Like more a little bit more conversations
Almost I don't know
What do you guys think?
Only because I love their characters
And I love the way they communicated
So I almost I wanted more of that
In this
As of right now in the Marvel
Marvel world of things
Iron Man is officially
Right now, he's my favorite
And as we go on
I'm going to keep braiding people
To see who I actually like the most
We'll see how Ironman holds up
Because he's just
He's just a funny, fun character
That you can't help but like
His cockiness
Sometimes I feel like
Rubs me wrong
But like I said in the beginning too
It's interesting how
Most superheroes
Don't want to be seen
Right? They don't want to be known. They want to be kind of kept under the table like you know about him, but you don't really know exactly who they are. With Tony, it's interesting because people knowing who he is just keeps getting him in trouble, but he's so damn cocky. He's also very like self-absorbed. And I love that they did diagnosis on him because I also think that he is a narcissist. And you can tell with the way he communicates and the way he banters, especially with Ms. Pepper.
And she's just so sweet.
She's such a sweet character.
She's assertive, but she's also, she's very, she's just kind-hearted.
And so she's a little bit like, yes, no, hot cold, hot cold, but, uh.
And she doesn't want to disappoint Tony, because she, you know, you could just tell
she adores him, but she bends over backwards and then she puts her foot down.
But he knows that he can break her at any point to bring her back to his side, you know,
because he is very charming and he has that narcissist attitude.
too. Like, he is a narcissist, and I feel like narcissists are able to sit there and juggle. You know,
they juggle you, and they're able to do that. With her, it's, it's sweetly dead. And I love that,
you know, we go, we went from the first one to the second one, how, you know, he doesn't really
have family, he doesn't have friends and stuff. And I think in Iron Man, too, you can see he's
starting to acquire friendships and, like, real relationships, which is kind of cool. I like it.
I don't really know much about the guy with the patch on the eye.
I don't know his background.
I don't know his story.
So I'm assuming we're going to get into that eventually.
But all I'm getting from him is, okay, he is boss,
but I don't know exactly what he does other than he is very well connected and knows a lot of things.
You know, he's with like secret agents and all that good stuff.
So with him, I'm like, hmm, I want more.
I want more about him because I feel.
like every time he shows up I'm still a little bit lost and I don't know what to think
other than okay got it you're with the Avengers team you're like head honcho but what
what is it that you actually really really truly do anyways you guys you let me know what
