1
I am Iron Man.
2
The suit and I are one.
3
You're from Earth.
4
You're from Earth.
5
Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit.
6
And what do you say to your other nickname?
7
The Merchant of Death.
8
That's not bad.
9
When it comes to showing off, there's none better than the MCU's undisputed King of Sass, Tony Stark.
10
Who just saved your magical ass?
11
Me.
12
He's got tons of scenes to prove my point, and I'm gonna show you them right now in my Top 25 Iron Man Flexes in the Movies, Volume 2.
13
I had a great idea Tony, but my suit is more advanced in every way.
14
How'd you solve the icing problem?
15
Icing problem?
16
Might want to look into it.
17
It makes sense to kick things off with a film that started it all.
18
Watching the first ever Iron Man film in cinemas was kind of like being part of some revolutionary moment.
19
It felt special and led to an amazing decade filled with endless sass from the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist.
20
Truth is...
21
I am Iron Man.
22
Since it all started here, I'm gonna pick up a critical moment which came in the final battle between Iron Man and Iron Monga.
23
It's no secret that Obadiah hated Tony with a living passion
24
and it showed in his frustration
25
when his employees couldn't replicate in a high -tech lab what Mr. Stark did in a cave with spare parts.
26
That scene in itself showed us why Iron Man is such a legend
27
that he took it a step further when he faces off against Iron Monger.
28
Bro knew his opponent wouldn't even have known about the icing problem
29
and he made sure to humiliate him with a live example.
30
That little boink on the head was the perfect way to establish dominance too.
31
There are many ways to show your enemies down and they don't always need to involve physical violence.
32
Take Tony Stark for example, he just needs to use a random joke and it'll land harder than a plasma cannon.
33
For reference, let me divert your attention to his little chat with Ivan in Iron Man 2.
34
It's his first time meeting the man after their little encounter at the racecourse, and oh boy, he sure didn't hold back.
35
Ivan really thought he was going to have this little moment of victory talking about his dad
36
and stuff but Tony pulled an uno reverse
37
and violated him with sheer mockery it's bad enough to remind him
38
that he failed to defeat his briefcase suit and on top of
39
that he even offered to send a bar of soap to Ivan in prison
40
and that's a low blow
41
and yeah I most definitely mean it as a pun where
42
did guys like Ivan even get the nerve to challenge Iron
43
Man I barely understood what he was trying to say too bro sounded like a wannabe mumble rapper in 15 minutes!
44
What Iron Man is to the Avengers, Star -Lord is to the Guardians of the Galaxy.
45
Their personality traits are quite similar if you think about it.
46
The main difference is probably the fact that Tony Stark is richer than God.
47
Now, there's no amount of money in the world that can buy you wit, but even then, Iron Man one -ups Peter Quill in one of the most hilarious face -offs I've seen in the MCU.
48
I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?
49
Yeah, I'll do you one better.
50
Who's Gamora?
51
Apart from the chaotic fighting, the part where Tony scores Star -Lord for not knowing his geography was top -notch humour, and that was a pretty nasty insult for a PG -13 film.
52
It wasn't just words, though.
53
I still think about what would have happened to Drax if he actually used that plasma cannon on him.
54
Also, let's not forget the iconic, who is Gamora line.
55
I know Drax made it memorable, but it was Tony's question that made him seem authoritative in the first place.
56
Tell me where the girl is, so I swear to you I'm gonna french fry this little freak.
57
Let's do it!
58
You shoot my guy and I'll blast him!
59
Let's go! Do it, Quill!
60
No, he can't take it!
61
She's right, you can't.
62
Oh yeah?
63
Anything else, boss?
64
I'm good, Hal.
65
No, I'll be just...
66
I lost both the kids in the divorce.
67
The toughest battles are often in the household and it's perfectly shown in this little standoff Tony has against Pepper.
68
Of course it's not like a spiteful encounter, although I can't give 100 % clarity on Gwyneth Paltrow's expressions here.
69
I thought you two didn't...
70
Get along.
71
No, that's not so.
72
It's just me.
73
You don't care for it.
74
It's somewhat awkward, as you've got Happy and Natasha both striking off their employer because Pepper has taken over as CEO.
75
The main appeal of this scene is the fact
76
that Tony Stark has lost control of his own company to the woman he ends up marrying.
77
Kind of sounds like an ugly divorce, and Robert Downey Jr. conveys that emotion perfectly when he says he's lost the kids in the process.
78
I mean, technically speaking, Pepper would still need to answer to Tony because he owns the company, but I guess the writers wanted to give her a small girl boss moment.
79
Didn't work though, because Iron Man managed to steal the limelight anyway.
80
I am Iron Man.
81
The suit and I are one.
82
To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to adventurous servitude or prostitution depending on what stage you're in.
83
Can't have it.
84
I tried to bench you, you refused.
85
Unlike everyone else in your life, I don't work for you.
86
And due to that fact, we're now in a flying donut, billions of miles from Earth with no backup.
87
It's always a pleasure to see two great actors engaging with each other in the same film,
88
and there's none better than Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch during their intense argument in Infinity War.
89
Who just saved your match class?
90
Me.
91
I seriously don't know how you fit your head into that helmet.
92
I've always maintained that the two actors have some beef behind the scenes because of the whole Sherlock situation, and we can see their energy translating into hostility as they take some unpleasant jabs at each other.
93
Of course, it's not like Iron Man is just going to let a magician one -up him, so he reminds him of the fact that he saved his life.
94
However, my personal favorite is when Doctor Strange tries to act high and mighty by saying he doesn't work for Tony, but then adds to the fact
95
that they're all in a flying donut millions of miles away from Earth because of that very reason.
96
It's like he's got his responses ready before his opponent can even finish speaking.
97
Tony Stark has got so much sass that even his inventions feed off it and create their own personalities.
98
Case in point here would be Ultron, who most definitely sounds like Iron Man if he ever flipped over to the dark side while reading books on philosophy.
99
Errr.. have you been juicing?
100
A little vibranium cocktail?
101
You're looking...
102
I don't want to say popular.
103
You're stalling to protect the people.
104
That is the mission.
105
You forget.
106
Their little chat before the battle of Sokovia was a nice way to reflect upon their relationship between the creator
107
and his creation.
108
Of course, our man has to flex his superiority, so he tries to mock Ultron and succeeds, despite the villain's massive appearance.
109
The best part about Tony here is that he doesn't let his opponent intimidate him with the new vibranium suit, and he stands his ground.
110
I mean, if you're gonna ask questions like, how much time you got, or mock Ultron for forgetting the mission, it shows that you can stand tall even if you're on the shorter side of the scale.
111
No, really, I think Robert Downey Jr is like 5 '8 or something.
112
That's a little under the average height for American men.
113
Shit!
114
Language!
115
No one else is gonna deal with the fact that Cap just said language.
116
I know.
117
I've dated hotter chicks than you.
118
That's all you got?
119
Cheap chick and a cheesy one -liner?
120
Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.
121
It's no secret that with great wealth comes great female attention.
122
This holds especially true for a personality like Tony Stark because if it were up to him, he'd probably woo every pretty lady on the planet.
123
As a matter of fact, I'd even go as far as to say that his mere presence makes women lose control and explode.
124
Take Ellen Brandt for example.
125
She couldn't get enough of Iron Man, so she ended up bursting into flames.
126
Alright, enough with my innuendos.
127
Let's move on to Tony's.
128
Even without his suit, this man is a menace
129
and it shows in the way he taunts Brandt by saying he's dated hotter chicks than her.
130
If not anything else, at least she should have applauded his wit.
131
But the woman trying to insult his cheesy one -liners
132
and cheap tricks big mistake lady Tony had a line ready for
133
that as well See there's no way you can resist a man with that much sass Whatever
134
She's actually doing a big spread on me for vanity I thought I'd grow her on you know Right yes,
135
well she did quite a spread on Tony last year and she wrote a story as well It was very impressive.
136
I wasn't kidding when I was talking about Iron Man's popularity with the ladies.
137
Bros are literal chick magnet and not the kind you can create in a lab like the Iron Man suits.
138
As a matter of fact, he's so good at this skill that his own girlfriend flexes for him in front of others.
139
Take the scene where Justin Hammer shows up with that journalist Christine from the first film.
140
I'm actually hoping to present something at your ex -book.
141
Well, if you invent something that works, I'll make sure I get you a slot.
142
Mr. Stark?
143
It was obviously meant as some kind of flex from Justin's side, but we didn't even need Mr. Stark to do his thing here.
144
Pepper simply tells him about the spread Christine did on a man last year, and then Tony makes the pun clear by stating she also wrote a story on him.
145
Man, this is as badass a flex you can see.
146
It's hard enough for us mortals to find just a girl in general, and this dude's got his woman defending his.. promiscuity.
147
It's like he's got some God -level cheat code to life.
148
The MCU made a name for itself, not just with excellent character arcs and revolutionizing CGI but also with impressive meta humor.
149
I know they kind of go over the top nowadays with it
150
but back when comic book movies were still good they had a lot of memorable moments.
151
Tony Stark obviously was the pioneer when it came to making such jokes
152
and the Christmas story moment in Iron Man 3 that was a prime example.
153
It's funny in itself because of how Tony mocks Rhodes
154
and proceeds to sign the autographs what most people don't know is that the line dates back to the first film.
155
The actual kid from A Christmas Story Peter Billingsley was the
156
scientist who says I'm sorry I'm not Tony Stark to Obadiah in the first Iron Man.
157
I came across this on Reddit and it blew my mind, especially after I validated the Easter Egg with my own research.
158
Bro literally flexed in real and real life at the same time.
159
I hate to cut you off, do you have your taser on you?
160
Why?
161
I think there's a gal in HR is trying to steal some printer ink, you should probably go over there and zap her.
162
Nice.
163
Okay?
164
Okay, go.
165
You've been called the Da Vinci of our time.
166
What do you say to that?
167
Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.
168
Okay, so do you remember Christine from a couple of entries ago?
169
Well, here she is in her first actual interaction with Tony Stark.
170
We all know how the scene ends, and it's a huge W for Iron Man, but I want to point out a line he says that's both funny as well as sassy.
171
And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?
172
That's not bad.
173
Christine mentions how people like to call Tony the Da Vinci of our time, and he simply dismisses that claim by saying he doesn't paint.
174
Well, there might be truth to that, but the key takeaway is Bro delivers the line with top -tier riz.
175
I mean, he did end up getting down and dirty with a trigger -happy reporter, Even after she tried to call him the merchant of death.
176
Yeah, you can try all you want, you can't deny his giga chad credibility.
177
Tony Stark might not be the one with a paintbrush, but he sure knows how to make a masterpiece.
178
You let your friend fly away with your suit.
179
Now, if I didn't know better...
180
You don't know better, I didn't give it to him, you took it off.
181
Woah, woah, woah.
182
Look, if you do this, and it doesn't work, you're not coming back.
183
Thanks for the pep talk, Pishant.
184
Just because your superhero title ends with man, It doesn't necessarily mean you get to command the same amount of respect as the legends.
185
Just look at Aquaman He's still reeling from all those romantic
186
fish jokes in the case of Scott Lang though He's definitely not on the same level as Tony Stark
187
and he's been shown his place quite a few times remember
188
that mini encounter in Civil War I always said you never can trust a Stark Who are you?
189
Yeah, that wasn't bad enough for Ant -Man He gets violated again
190
when he tries to interrupt Tony's chat with Captain America Needless to say, he got the raw end of the stick, and that too in punny fashion.
191
Being called a pissant is pretty bad in any case, but the fact that Tony specifically chose that word
192
because he knew of Scott's alter ego as Ant -Man was an additional touch of class.
193
The tone was pretty dismissive, but to be fair, it's not like Scott was adding any value to the conversation.
194
Show your belly every time somebody snarls.
195
Only when I've created a murder bot.
196
We didn't.
197
One thing that's for sure, your privates need to be made of steel if you think you can provoke the Hulk.
198
It makes sense that the one to do it would be Iron Man because, well, I guess it's kind of in his name really, isn't it?
199
Listen, I'm not supporting the idea of creating a murder bot, so I'm definitely with Bruce Banner on that, but even then, I couldn't help but laugh when Tony angrily rebuked his partner in crime for being so gullible.
200
It was pretty insulting too.
201
Rolling over to meet someone's demands is a very personal insult, and if the angry green giant had heard this, we might have seen the Hulkbuster a lot earlier in this film.
202
I'm sorry.
203
Having said that though, Tony did prove that he's not the type to step away from his ground just because he's outnumbered.
204
Bro might not be able to commit to the ladies, but it's a whole different story when it comes to the flexes.
205
A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space.
206
We're standing 300 feet below it.
207
We're the Avengers.
208
You have reached the life model decoy.
209
Let Tony Stark please leave a message.
210
This is urgent.
211
Then leave it urgently.
212
Getting a hold of Tony Stark is no easy feat.
213
I mean, it's not like you can find billionaires in the local Yellow Pages and on top of that, dude's freaking Iron Man.
214
So if you do manage to get his cell, you should at least do him the courtesy of getting to the point quickly.
215
Phil Coulson found that out instantly when he tried to tell Tony he had an urgent message for him.
216
Iron Man's response was obviously hilarious AF, but it was the swiftness of his reply that really had me rolling on the floor.
217
Bro really wanted to get nice and comfy with Pepper, didn't he?
218
I would have placed this one a little higher on my list, but then Phil actually invades his privacy, and we find out that he and Pepper are friends, so I'm not sure if Tony really came out on top here.
219
Alright, I'm gonna give you a chance to escape.
220
Put down your weapons, tie yourselves to those chairs.
221
I'll let you live.
222
In 5, 4, bang!
223
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
224
Told you.
225
The Mark 42 is probably Tony's most infamous suit in the MCU.
226
That thing was never really able to stand out because it just kept failing.
227
Even then, Tony Stark managed to redeem the suit and gave us a few memorable moments, like the one where he escapes from Killian's captivity.
228
The essence of this scene lies in the humor, but it's also presented with a nice hint of sass, especially after some of the parts finally reach Tony.
229
It's nice to see the evolution of the suit as well.
230
In the first film, Tony had such a hard time with the suit's flight mechanisms, but here he can fly with just a couple of repulsors.
231
The genius of this movie was that Stark's technology was constantly failing him in multiple situations, but he's still able to come out on top.
232
This shows that it takes more than just the suit to be Iron Man.
233
Now I understand why he used that line on Spider -Man in Homecoming.
234
A father must always take accountability for his son, but Tony Stark is a whole different breed.
235
Not only did he refuse to take the blame for what happened with Ultron, he tried to make another version of the robot without knowing whether he'd succeed.
236
However, even somebody as tough as Iron Man couldn't help but acknowledge the fact that Ultron was his child.
237
I liked his entrance in this face -off, and that line was an example of peak level sarcasm.
238
I think you're confusing peace with quiet.
239
Yeah, what's the vibranium for?
240
They even made it a little dark by having the father destroy the son after their battle.
241
On a side note, what was Thor even doing there?
242
He could have easily taken down everyone in the opposition with minimum effort.
243
And yes, that includes Wonder too.
244
The writer hadn't given her all that ridiculous power till Civil War.
245
Nobody has to break anything.
246
Clearly you've never made an omelette.
247
Beat me by one second.
248
Don't forget, I'm half human, so that 50 % of me that's stupid, that's 100 % you.
249
Your math is blowing my mind.
250
We're in the top 10 zone now, and I'm kicking it off with one of Iron Man's most sarcastic lines ever.
251
Star -Lord's on the receiving end once again, as he tries to explain his math logic to our heroes, but only ends up proving that he never really had a legitimate education.
252
A genius like Tony Stark will obviously not take to such idiocy, which is why his Your math is blowing my mind line is such a savage bird.
253
Are you yawning?
254
In the middle of this while I'm breaking it down?
255
Huh?
256
Did you hear what I said?
257
You know, we live in an age where people resort to foul extremes just to add weight to their insults, but if you use your brain like Iron Man, you won't ever have to rely on profane language ever again.
258
I genuinely believe this is one of the best jokes ever written in the MCU.
259
I really want to know what happened to these writers in Phase 4.
260
Like, did they not get a raise or something?
261
We gotta call us, because if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude...
262
Dude, don't call us plucky.
263
We don't know what it means.
264
See, Happy is hoping to get bumped up to asset management.
265
He was before he had a security, and before that he was just a driver.
266
A private conversation.
267
Iron Man takes the cake, even if he's only around for a few minutes in another superhero's movie.
268
The fact
269
that the superhero in question is Spider -Man only goes on
270
to show how much of a commercial juggernaut Tony Stark was for the MCU.
271
None of this would have happened if you would just listen to me!
272
If you even cared, you'd actually be here.
273
I did listen, kid.
274
Since we're looking at Flexis here, I want to bring your attention to how he violates Happy by calling him a driver when he just joined Stark Industries.
275
Of course, he does say nice things about his most trusted employee, but even then, you don't have to do him dirty like that, bro.
276
Here's a fun fact.
277
Jon Favreau, who played Happy, was the one who fought tooth and nail to get Robert Downey Jr. hired for the role of Iron Man.
278
Yeah, that was probably the best decision ever made in the MCU era.
279
Peppa Ponce is actually a very likeable character.
280
She can run Stark Industries in Iron Man's absence, she stands up for Tony even if it's to show off his side chicks, and she even saves her lover boy from the oddly overpowered Killian.
281
Man, I'd do anything to get a woman like that.
282
However, for a man like Tony Stark, I guess that's just the norm when it comes to relationships.
283
He even says it to her after they get rid of Killian in Iron Man 3.
284
After everything that happened in this sequence, the fact that Tony still had time to crack a joke shows why he's such an alpha.
285
I mean, his girlfriend is literally at risk of bursting into flames, and Bro just went on like, yeah, that's what happens when you date me.
286
I'm the best.
287
My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you.
288
I know you're a coward.
289
So I've decided...
290
that you just died, pal.
291
I'm gonna come get the body.
292
We all love...
293
Batman don't we?
294
In my personal opinion he's the best character from the DC universe and it's mostly because of how calculated he is.
295
Bruce Wayne hides his face behind a mask
296
and lives in a Batcave just so he can avoid the villains coming to his home.
297
Iron Man on the other hand Here's my home address.
298
10 -880 -Malibu -Point -90265.
299
I'll leave the door unlocked.
300
That's what you want, Frank.
301
Fill me.
302
Well, he reveals his true identity and even hands out his personal address in front of a live audience.
303
I mean, he's for guys like Thor, the Hulk, and Thanos, so people like the Mandarin wouldn't really be a threat to him.
304
However, what I loved about this scene was the dialogue.
305
The way he openly told the Mandarin that he's coming to get his body sent chills down my spine.
306
And of course, the added sass came when he smashed that reporter's phone and told him to send the bill.
307
It was like a hat trick of flexes.
308
Now that, yeah, you really killed the glass.
309
I was aiming for the bulb?
310
You can't hit a bulb this distance.
311
My mom already left for the diner and Dad went to 7 -Eleven to get scratchers.
312
I guess he won because that was six years ago.
313
Tony Stark is an ideal role model, not just for adults with ambitions, but also for kids with daddy issues.
314
I mean, he did have it tough with his dad when he was a boy, but he managed to grow past it and focused on becoming a successful human being capable of unsurpassable feats.
315
His ideals and thought processes were seen in his interaction with Harley Keener in Iron Man 3, especially when he told him not to be a wuss just because his dad left him.
316
Look, I know that's a horrible experience and no one should ever have to go through it, but life's tough, so you gotta be even tougher, right?
317
That's exactly the kind of mentality that Tony Stark instilled into Harley, and it clearly had an impact on the kid's life.
318
After all, he did attend Iron Man's funeral.
319
If I was building Iron Man and War Machine...
320
It's Iron Patriot, huh?
321
That's way cooler!
322
No, it's not.
323
That man has no regard for long maintenance.
324
Thor and Iron Man have always had a kind of topsy -turvy relationship,
325
but they never really had an intense bond like the one Tony shared with Steve Rogers or even Bruce Banner.
326
However, one thing's for sure, Iron Man would always find a way to flex on the God of Thunder.
327
I know I've mentioned the Shakespeare in the Park moment in my previous videos, but today I'm going to talk about Tony's comments on Thor's lawn maintenance skills.
328
Sure, it looks epic and stuff, but his transportation method does leave our heroes with a messy Garden and Iron Man held nothing back on his Comet.
329
Also he and Captain America were already roasting Thor because of the Mjolnir situation with Vision so this just made it funnier.
330
If he can violate the superior brother, it is but obvious for Iron Man to humiliate the weaker bro as well.
331
Loki never should have tried his hand at being the villain and Iron Man's flexes have proven it time and time again.
332
I know the god of mischief was winning the fight against Captain America
333
but come on He's probably just a little stronger than Arnold Schwarzenegger.
334
It was Iron Man who showed him his place
335
and even called him Rock of Ages for added insults after they captured Loki.
336
There's just something about the acting that enhances this scene, and that's exactly why nobody else can ever replace Robert Downey Jr. What just happened?
337
Please tell me nobody kissed me.
338
I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
339
Thanks.
340
People might fear Bruce Banner because of his anger issues, but Tony Stark feels otherwise.
341
No surprises.
342
Ow!
343
Hey!
344
Nothing.
345
As a matter of fact, he even went on to praise how Bruce loses control of himself and transforms into the Hulk.
346
It was such an abrupt statement, but still managed to land and, once again, it's all because of the acting here.
347
It was pretty funny to see Iron Man trying to provoke the Hulk too, but it's the line delivery that totally sells the scene to me.
348
Honestly speaking, I'd love to see Tony trying to have a conversation with the angry Hulk.
349
Yeah, that's right.
350
I'm not talking about that softy they introduced in Endgame.
351
He's not the real Hulk in my eyes.
352
Agent Romanoff, you miss me?
353
Sir, there are still terabytes of calculations needed before an actual flight is a - Jarvis, sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.
354
With the way AI is evolving, it really looks like humans and robots are going to be working together in the near future.
355
Iron Man though has always been a step ahead with Jarvis in his Iron Man suit.
356
Bro ended up teaching his AI about motivational thinking by making him run before he could even walk.
357
Of course, that is just a figure of speech because what the two of them are actually doing here is freaking flying.
358
I love the confidence on display even though it's fairly evident
359
that neither Tony nor Jarvis can predict how it's gonna turn out.
360
It's completely wrong.
361
Either way, it gave us an epic flex and an unforgettable memory.
362
Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me going.
363
You throw an Iron Moon at me, and I'm gonna lose it.
364
Doesn't matter if you're a mad titan with unimaginable power, shouldn't piss off Iron Man.
365
He communicated that loud and clear after Thanos threw a freaking moon at him
366
and it earned him the respect of the MCU's most threatening villain.
367
Look, I'm not here to comment on the fight that happens after this little chat.
368
For me, it's about Tony's fearlessness and his absolute determination to save the world from a crazed supervillain.
369
The tone of his voice had a strong sense of anger in him
370
and if you can display that kind of confidence to a guy who makes the freaking Hulk look like a child, then there's no better of flex in the history of flexes.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
