Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:10 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...
Starting point is 00:00:32 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
Starting point is 00:01:03 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
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:47 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
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:48 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
Starting point is 00:03:05 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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
Starting point is 00:03:57 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
Starting point is 00:04:11 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
Starting point is 00:04:26 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
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:25 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
