Here is a fun little game lol – I have no idea how to work Penn State sites so the movie poster will unfortunately not be in the middle of the blog post, that is my bad.
A little late but here nonetheless I finally watched Iron Man 2. I am normally a big defendant for sequel movies, however, I do have to say that this movie was nowhere as good of a production as the first Iron Man movie was. Despite Clara’s hot take of not liking Tony Stark I think his performance remained commendable it was the plot that was lacking.
The plot did not seem to be very original in comparison to the first movie and quite frankly I don’t think it was the sequel that we all thought we needed. The subseries could have very well have been capped off at the first movie as I do not really even think that the second Iron Man movie really added to the plot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although, I know there is a third Iron Man movie within the cinematic universe I can safely say it is not a movie that I am looking forward to watching unfortunately. Hopefully, I am pleasantly surprised by Iron Man 3 but I do remain doubtful.
I am choosing to skip past the One Shot content provided by Disney + as I have been told they are not really necessary. Therefore, the next movie that I have to watch in order is Thor. Needless to say I may or may not be excited because I am a big fan of Chris Hemsworth’s appearance. I did also hear it was a pretty good movie. The only background knowledge I have on this segment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on Thor’s hammer so I am hoping that after watching this one I will have a solid background on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s storyline.
While I know I have not been getting through the content in the Marvel Cinematic Universe quickly, I am chugging along and have enjoyed it greatly thus far.
Yeah agreed. I LOVE Marvel and I can’t recall a single plot point from Iron Man 2 or 3. I stand by my hot take though, Tony Stark becomes more like-able (at least to me) later on. I just can’t get over his sexist and entitled behavior. Like come on, you’re shocked your billion dollar international weapons manufacturing agent makes bombs that are used to kill civilians? Please. Again, I like later Tony Stark. In “Captain America: Civil War” he gets dad vibes and that’s where things look better.
I completely agree with Clara. I live for Tony Stark’s dad vibes that become even more apparent with the appearance of Spiderman.
Also, to be honest, I don’t even know if I watched all of the Iron man movies because I don’t remember their plotlines oops.
Overall, I’m glad that you’re enjoying the MCU so far!
