quigonejinnSaw Iron Man 2 for the third time today, and goddamn, I really enjoy the movie more each time I watch it. I really think the first time that I saw it, my issue was (i) expectations and (ii) hysterical squee.
1. Tony can apparently do really awesome science only when he has had his heart broken. The cave, right? He has just realized how much of his arms end up on the black market. Iron Man 2, it's after the scene where he goes to see Pepper in the office, and he brings her strawberries, and then she rejects him. And Natalie and Happy reject him. And Rhodey rejected him, too.
That idea just kinda breaks my heart. Science. It's what he has when he has nothing else.
2. Also heartbreaking: Tony's face, my God, on the race track when he looks at Whiplash and is about to step into the briefcase suit. It's just total goddamn heartbreak. He can't get away with it. He can't. Tony thought he was going to get to die on the racetrack, but no, he is going to die in the suit or people that he loves are going to die, and the moment. The moment. Oh God.
3. Holy shit, guys. The scene with Tony and Natasha getting ready for birthday party? Up until that point, Natasha's face is just goddamn stone cold. The intro scene with Tony signing over? Stone cold. The scene in the dining room at the Hotel de Paris? Stone cold, arms behind the back military attention style. And then, you see her face change right before she tells him that she would do what she wanted, with who she wanted. It's the first flash of real feeling you get from her, and it kinda breaks my heart.
4. At Rudy's Donuts scene, Fury describes Natasha a SHIELD shadow rather than a SHIELD agent.
5. When Tony is standing in what used to be his living room and Nick Fury goes, Phil steps on the scene, and Natasha goes. Even though Phil is directly across from Tony, he watches Natasha go. I'm going to read this not as guys watching superhottie Scarlett, but as you know. TIN HAT EVIDENCE OF MY SHIP.
6. Coulson has his own access code to the lab. Or does he use Rhodey's? I didn't remember to watch.
7. When Natasha steps away in the diner scene, she says "Good luck." When Phil walks away from Tony in the remains of the living room, Phil says "Good luck," too. It's the standard SHIELD sign-off when starting a mission, isn't it?
