Iron Man 3 is very underrated. This film is basically Tonys version of “if you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t need it” advice he gave to Spiderman

The pronounciation of “secret nazis” had me dying

21:32 “you’re not gonna cry.” Well apparently you actually will just not for the reasons 12 year old you thought you would.

You probably won’t see this but ive been a big fan of your content, ever since 2017. Your videos are always well-edited, informative, and fun to watch, whether you discuss movies, shows, or…presidents. You remain tragically underrated, BHL, but it’s always a highlight of my day getting notified for one of your videos.

Love the videos man, keep on going!

Age of Ultron, Guardians, and Winter Soldier happen to be in my top ten MCU films. They've all aged really well (AoU is underrated).

Iron Man 3 and Ant-Man are fun, but flawed. Dark World is pretty ok. Overall, still pretty solid all things considered. Can't wait for the Phase 3 vid.

"Could you imagine a world where the world is taken over by SECRET nazis?" Is probably the funniest but also sadly realest thing you've ever said.

I love the segments with your younger self. They’re so wholesome lol. It’s really cool that you were able to record those moments of what your past thoughts were so you can compare them to your current thoughts.

What it must have been like to grow up as these films were coming out. It’s so hard to explain, but imagine before the MCU & LotR, it was basically OG Star Wars, a Superman movie and a Batman movie. And aside from some other stuff like Blade, that was it. Things have really evolved a lot.

17:25 it wasn’t saturated at all back then. this is the movie that started the current trend. james gunn deserves that credit imo

2014 was MCU's best year. Multiverse Saga should've studied that year.

5:43 Not the garage band😭😭. Thats so nostalgic

1:15 the scenes with him out of the suit are sweet. We get to see him use his intellect and no superpowered suit to invade the mansion which is awesome

Winter Soldier is just awesome. On top of everything you mentioned, having a character for Cap to throw down with to show his fighting chops and casting GSP for it is insanity. My favorite part of that movie

I loved seeing the older videos put in! I've been subscribed since 2016

I love the conversation between Ultron and Vision at the end. Ultron is representing a nihilistic philosophy and Vision represents existentialism. It was a very interesting take on how robots would view humanity.
