Question - Iron Man Discussion
1. Tony Stark is one of the central characters in the MCU. What are your first impressions of him in the opening Humvee scene and in the flashback segment in Las Vegas? Does he come across as heroic? Why or why not?
2. Is Tony Stark a round or flat character (i.e., does he have psychological complexity/depth or not)? Why? Is he dynamic or static (i.e., does he change during the story or not)? Why?
3. Discuss the use of sound in this film. In what way(s) does sound contribute to the cognitive effect or emotional response of the audience? Use at least one specific scene to support your answer.
4. What is the central theme of this story?
5. Released in 2008, Iron Man successfully launched the MCU franchise, paving the way for the over 20 MCU films that followed. Why do you think Marvel chose Iron Man as the character for the first MCU film?
6. On paper Stark seems more like a super villain than a hero. He is an arms dealer, a narcissist, and a billionaire. He's irresponsible, vain, and arrogant. So why is he such a popular character?
