Why Ironheart SUCKS - A Scene Comparison

I have been watching some "MCU suck now, this is why" videos and this was a breath of fresh air. All those videos jumped on and fueled the hate wagon (which sells tbh) for the extra attention. Gets boring quite fast, if I didn't agree with the idea already, I wouldn't watch any of those. What is your point? This guy on the other hand makes spot on arguments, don't use any provocative language whatsoever, backs his points with valid comparisons and proves WHY the "thing" with Marvel nowadays is wrong. Most importantly, the video IS entertaining. Thumbs up and thank you for the video.

It’s crazy how 75% of the first iron man movie didn’t even feel like a super hero movie. It’s just genuinely a good movie

Rewatching Iron Man was a very weird experience. You can feel how far Marvel has strayed from making special characters.

It would have been acceptable if the kid from Iron Man 3 took the mantle as he's the one who makes much more sense than what we had.

One of the best ways to make a believably intelligent character is to show them encountering problems, failing, and then innovating solutions to those problems. That's something Tony does all the time. There are entire youtube videos devoted to listing the number of features in his creations that are actually solutions to problems in previous films. Everything from different ways to summon his armour to the fact that Peter's suit had a heater in it. I somehow doubt Riri is ever going to fail in a significant way, let alone have opportunities to improve and make sure it doesn't happen again.

If she’s already built an iron man suit and a vibranium detector, I wonder what she’s gonna be able to do after she finishes learning differential equations

2/3 of the original Iron Man is watching him develop the suit(s) through trial and error. It was fascinating and when he uses it to save the hostages it all feels so earned.

The funny thing is, RiRi's teacher in the comics DIDN'T tell her she couldn't do anything, she said she could be anything she wanted, and in the comics riri was UPSET because she wanted to be held back so she could prove someone wrong. She WANTED a chip put on her shoulder. Her origin reads more like a sociopathic villain than a hero, especially with how she steals iron man suit designs.

I think the reason why Tony Starks death was so devastating was because we knew this character really well, and we watched him change his ways. Now the mcu is a 80s sitcom where the main male character used too much hair gel and they have to crack jokes every 10 seconds or else it just becomes very boring.

I like how, after Stark's story is so perfectly straightforward, five seconds into summarizing Ironheart's introduction, there's already glaring questions such as "How did she build a detector for a substance that is essentially absent from America... where she developed the detector"

It says a lot that they knew her comics introduction was so bad that they had to completely re-write it, and they still managed to make it arguably worse. Good job, DisneyMarvel.

Tony's trauma: Losing both his parents, being ambushed by terrorists using his own weapons, being abducted by those terrorists, being tortured by those terrorists, watching Yinsen his only companion during his captivity die for him, being betrayed by his business partner, having his suit damaged and almost destroyed by the son of his father's former business partner, flying a nuke into a rift portal above New York City and almost dying, being kidnapped by a different terrorist group, seeing his partner be injected with a mutagen by the leader of that terrorist group, creating Ultron, fighting the Hulk, causing the deaths of hundreds of people at Sokovia, almost killing his best friend, learning the identity of the man who killed his parents and being unable to take revenge, realising what having created the Sokovian Accords actually allows the government to do, being beaten and almost killed by the genocidal alien, having his "son" Iron Boy Junior die in his arms as he was killed by said genocidal alien and being stuck on a broken down spaceship for a month. Riri's "trauma": Her teacher once told her "You will never be... Tony Stark." when she was a child.

Tony Stark is such a good character that legitimately halfway throughout this video I ABSOLUTELY FORGOT that Ironheart was in here somehow. I was too invested in the breakdown of such a good character I genuinely forgot the video was a comparison.

"I am here for the Vibranium detector that you built for the CIA" This line sounds like it was written for a fanfiction

My question is, "How the hell could she afford building a suit"? I think Tony spent millions of dollars on his.

6:32 - That burger king shot was a call back to Downey at his lowest in his career going through a drive through and sitting in his car eating a Whopper and contemplating how low he had gotten. He said that's when he turned around.

Best thing is, even in the comics Iron-Heart was always considered a terrible character.

It start with "Doesn't waste your life" and ended with Tony used his life to save the entire galaxy. He is the real ironman.

One minor detail that Iron Heart lacks is the way her suit plays out, Tony's suit felt heavy, complex, but most importantly realistic, it was a mix of fiction and reailistic along with pretty good visuals, while Iron heart Riri's suit feels looks and feels completelly CGI, and doesnt give the audience an impression of realism

I think what also helps iron man’s case for believability is that he built his suit out of desperation. Whereas Riri just kind of, does it? You know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention.
