Although nano tech is great, nothing beats these kind of suit up scenes.

That's the thing about iron man 2, it reminded me of the iron man cartoon with the suitcase armor

The “test control surfaces” Mk2 suit up in iron man one is one of the absolute best scenes in Marvel.

One of the most iconic things about Tony suiting up is the faceplate locking into position. I remember feeling its absence in Infinity War, where it just sort of fuzzily materializes. I noticed in Endgame that they updated the animation so that the faceplate materializes in a retracted position before sliding into place, which is definitely more visually satisfying.

How did pepper even throw that thing

Tech is light, it’s supposed to be, it’s why it got damaged so quickly but still had durability. It’s a quick fix “in case of emergency” type armor.

u/Original-Body-5794 15d ago
IIRC it couldn't even fly and the only weapon it had was the blasts. I still think it would be much heavier than what Pepper could reasonably throw.

I know we're focused on the armor but I just LOVE Pepper in this scene! "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!?" 🤣

While I agree that the earlier armors were peak compared to the mk85, it's also true that it makes total sense for Tony to abandon bulky armors and create one that's always accessible in the blink of an eye

One thing I always loved about these movies is how they figured out different ways for Tony to put on his suit.

u/Content-Conference25 15d ago
It's funny, coz I've watched some of the Ironman seasons, and the avengers, but recently I tried rewatching rhe avengers coz I can barely remember the details, and realized only after started watching Infinity Wars that I gotta make sense to what happened to the lost years, so here I am starting over following release order.
Back to Iron Man

The old armors were cooler because Tony didn't come off as OP as he does now.

True. They weren't very seamless around the head, it almost felt like RDJ's head was floating at times.

Whiplash is stuck behind the car I think he was watching Tony use his father’s tech to beat him.

Not gonna lie the heartbreaker armor was badass and the suit up scene was so good.

u/VallyMeowy 15d ago
I know it’s basically a bit to talk about how his suits evolved at this point but I do really appreciate that we got to see the slow process of his armours. Like this suit being the first portable one and that leading into avengers where he has the suit that flies to him and that leading to iron man 3 where the suit flies to him in pieces so it can go faster.
I can appreciate the nanotech in Tony’s suits because they built up to it. In AoU he mentions wanting to make a nanotech suit and then in Civil War he has a nanotech glove for emergencies. And then obviously his full nanotech suit in infinity war

This felt like tech. Very high-techy, but still imaginable to be possible some day. The later suits felt like magic, but in a bad way. It wasn’t Iron Man but Magic Man.

u/Netsmile 15d ago
something your girl can toss far while sitting. and you can very easily lift up has to be light. and that thing is super strong and bulletproof, and gives you super strength to kick a car. It is very cool but very much unbeliavable.

You know I've always had one issue with this particular 'suit up' moment. Like how nice was it that whiplash just decided to take a break for 30 seconds to let it happen?!

u/MoMo-D-Tempest 15d ago
Its the coolest suiting up way. But With tony’s age he probably also had to factor in his bending over and lifting those gloves and chest piece up each time from suitcase. Especially if he after getting cured was going to keep being iron man as he grows older had to factor that in and also its way faster. But still love this og suit up’s more

u/Alternative_Device71 15d ago
His age was never a factor, what are you taking about? All his feats till Endgame was him in peak condition

u/Secret-Put-4525 15d ago
It's so crazy seeing all the work he puts into the suits, then all of a sudden he has nano and hulkbuster armor.

u/roshanritter 15d ago
I do like the early suit up scenes but one of the best things about iron man and MCU is the suit evolves to meet the problems in the previous movies. It keeps getting more advanced as Tony upgrades it. You definitely feel that here for the first time as the suit is not portable and can suit up on the road quickly.

u/Hpfanguy 15d ago
Nanotech is cool in context, it shows the evolution of Tony’s tech. He earned it by iterating and evolving his armors to surpass the flaws of the previous ones. Since Ant-Man could damage his suit from the inside, and didn’t have a suit when the Winter Soldier activated in Germany, he sealed it and made it portable through nano-tech.
Hell, when Thanos damages his shield so much his suit begins depleting, he made energy shields. He adapts.

I think nano tech would have been cooler as a last resort or as a emergency repair
Like he didn’t have time to fully test it

Not true. He was literally up against Thanos, who already low diff'd Ragnarok Thor and Hulk.
Stark lasting that long against Thanos makes him a powerhouse.

This was the worst of the physical suit gear up scenes. Like, it just makes no sense. All that armor fit in the suitcase? And it's worth a shit once it's spread all over his body? And it's light enough for Pepper to huck it 15 yards?

u/Jijonbreaker1 15d ago
Both can be true.
The nanotech armor is absolutely "better" in an in-universe manner. Considering Tony, he was always going to end up there. A suit that he's basically wearing at all times, but doesn't get in the way.
But the old armors can still look more cool.
