This is a rough minute for movers. We’ve all done it. We’ve all made mistakes. But the horror that befalls Tony’s convertible is unspeakable. Tony asks JARVIS to do a thing that isn’t the thing that JARVIS ends up doing, so, you know… reinventing words for technology is fun. Ok, there’s not a LOT going on in this minute and frankly, we’re getting a little antsy for our upcoming SCIENCE MONTAGE!
So, so Latin this minute. From quips to quotes to the high classics, we tie it all to Natasha. Even sculptures are giving Tony a hard time this minute. Maybe he’ll be able to throw away the poison berries? Thankfully, we stumble across the keys to the future because hardware mode is coming.
Dust off that CD player, we’re heading back to the nineties! In today’s episode, Kyle and Rob get melodious as they each discuss the 5 albums that got them through college. No soundtracks or cast recordings here, they’ve come to rock!
Pepper really wants Tony… to leave. Which helicopters have wheels? There’s some confusion about who’s the boss, but it’s really just on Tony’s part. Gwyneth is awesome here, as is Favreau himself, as they head out the door leaving Tony and Natalie behind.
Pepper is allergic to strawberries. There are some serious monitor continuity errors. Background buildings grow logos. What the heck was going on in the editing of this scene? Meanwhile, we learn that Tony has no idea how to apologize. But at least we get a sense they actually care about each other. Where might this go?
Pepper’s packing up Tony’s old stuff, and turns out the model of the World’s Fair is there too. Elger Esser’s photo is hanging up. Who is Burt? Tony tries to apologize but those damn swinging sticks are distracting him.
After Dad’s message, Tony takes a drive. Alejandro Patiño makes an appearance as a vendor and Tony trades his gift watch from Obadiah Stane in the first movie for some strawberries. Pepper works in the office with Bambi Arbogast. They want the Mark II suit back. And yeah… there’s a newscaster in here who’s appearance is now a bit… awkward.
Is Howard’s message to Tony an early deepfake? We think so, made by Nick Fury to sell Tony on this whole thing. Damon Lindelof helped with it too, but it still just doesn’t work for us. See what you think.
Now that’s how you end a season. We’re here to talk about scrap metal bodies, the magic of magic microwaves and the “duties as needed” section of being a Caretaker. We’ve only got thirteen minutes to save the world, so let’s get started!
Young Tony makes an appearance. Shout out to Davin Ransom! Howard clearly doesn’t like filming for long periods of time as he makes a crass joke. RDJ does great in this scene with his simple looks. And he starts getting a sense of who his father was.
