I just watched IM1 and there are so many things I'm just picking up on this rewatch.
In my mind, due to all of Obie's physical intimidation, I always imagined Obie as bigger. But he's actually not as huge as my memory had made him out to be. Regardless, there were definite moments when I felt creeped out by him. What a great villain he was.
I forgot that whole scene where there was a video predicting Stark Industries tanking and making a huge joke out of it. I kind of forgot how much media attention there was on Tony and his company.
I love Tony talking to his bots in fic and I forgot how much he does it in this movie. He talked to them so much! To DUM-E the most!
OBADIAH PLAYS THE PIANO! I know there's fan theories of Tony learning to play from his mum. But what if he learned from Obie? Another pseudo father-son moment. I'm basically making Obie's betrayal even angstier to me. :P
Tony testing his Iron Man suit is even funnier and funner than I remember.
Tony's shoulder to waist to hip ratio is pretty damn amazing. There's this shot from behind when he's in a tank top...wowwwza.
There's a scene where Tony talks about how clear his purpose is now... that was probably the moment where Tony has the most clarity in all the movies. Later, the issues and PTSD all start kicking in. :(
Tony does seem to have a flight suit! He's distinctly wearing something flight-suit-like in one of his suit-up scenes, but it's mostly visible on his legs.
You know, I think IM1 really wasn't afraid to be more disturbing and awful as compared to later movies. Like the scenes in the cave, I remembered the waterboarding torture, but I forgot how awful the other things were, like Tony's surgery and the car battery thing, Yinsen being threatened with torture... Yinsen was such a great character. He was definitely a pivotal character in Tony's life.
I think in all the MCU deaths so far, Yinsen's was the one that moved me the most. Maybe IW will change that!
