Hey everyone Flame here.

I just finished watching Iron Man: Armored Adventures and so imma gonna talk about it. I don't know if this will end up becoming multiple parts. If it does then oh well.

First things first imma talk about the general plot/story line of the show followed by the things I liked and disliked about Armored adventures. Before we begin though I would like to say I will be spoiling some plot points of the show, if I get to a part that contains spoilers I'll put this up "Warning!!! Spoilers ahead if you either have seen armored adventures feel free to continue if not be advised. If you do not care however feel free to read. Or at least something like that.

Let's begin. Also Don't worry there won't be any endgame spoilers and yes most of what I'm getting is from the Wiki page.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Iron Man: Armored Adventures (also known in early promotional materials as Iron Man: The Animated Series) is an American-Canadian-French 3D CGI-animated series loosely based on the Marvel Comics superhero Iron Man. It debuted in the United States on Nicktoons on April 24, 2009, and it aired on Teletoon in Canada. The series is story edited by showrunner Christopher Yost, who also worked on Wolverine and the X-Men, and numerous other Marvel Animation projects. The television show is not related to the 2007 animated film The Invincible Iron Man; it has a different voice cast, but some story elements are similar and the show uses the same musical score as the film in some instances. It is the first Iron Man television series since Iron Man from 1994–1996, and started airing after the success of the live action Iron Man film.

The series follows the adventures of teen prodigy Tony Stark and his alter ego of Iron Man. As Iron Man, he uses his technological inventions to fight other similarly technologically advanced threats. His friends, James "Rhodey" Rhodes and Pepper Potts help him on his courageous, and dangerous adventures.

Now the Synopsis is as follows:
When his industrialist father Howard Stark disappears in a plane crash after refusing to weaponize the Earth Mover at Obadiah Stane's behest, 16-year-old genius Tony uses a high-tech suit of armor he has constructed and investigates a charge that Stane may have been involved in his father's death. As Iron Man, Tony spends his time stopping Stane's plans and saving the world from other villains such as Mandarin, Mr. Fix, Whiplash, A.I.M., Living Laser, the Maggia, Controller, Crimson Dynamo, Blizzard, Killer Shrike, Unicorn, M.O.D.O.K., Ghost, Black Knight, and Technovore. He is assisted in his crime fighting efforts with help from James Rhodes and Pepper Potts. Tony's activities as Iron Man usually result in his needing to make up excuses as to why he is constantly late or missing from school and other activities. Dependent on his phenomenal technology for survival, Tony must balance the pressures of teenage life with the duties of being a superhero.

As you can see IMAA (Iron Man Armored Adventures) Is like most teenage superhero shows in which the main character has to balance life of being a superhero as well as teen life. What sets it apart from other Ironman shows however is the fact that Tony who is normally portrayed as an adult is instead a Teenage boy. This also includes most of the other characters like Rodey Pepper and others. But not every character that are normally adults are teens. Nick Fury Hawkeye Black Widow Black Panther Hulk are still normal.

This is basically all the differences:
In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Tony Stark becomes Iron Man as a teenager, and Pepper Potts and James Rhodes are also teenagers. In the mainstream Iron Man continuity, Tony Stark becomes Iron Man later on in his life as a grown man, and is a long time friend with Pepper, whereas in this series, Pepper and Tony have just met.

Traditionally, Tony's parents were accidentally killed in a car crash, whereas in this series, Tony's father, Howard Stark, disappears in the first episode in a plane crash suggesting Howard's death. Howard lives to see his son become the armored hero Iron Man and even helps his son in his adventures in this reality. Howard uses the advanced technology of one of the alien Mandarin rings that he discovers for the basis of his many creations that he later locks away in his vault such as the light armor of the Living Laser. In the mainstream incarnation, Howard never met the Mandarin nor had any of his ten rings.

Tony also injures his heart in this crash, as opposed to being injured by an explosion in war. Tony invents the Iron Man armor at home. In previous incarnations, Tony invented an alpha version of the suit to escape after being captured due to the trap explosion leaving him defenseless. In the show, Ho Yinsen was a Stark International medical specialist who saved Tony by installing the technology that saved him instead of Yinsen meeting Tony in the war being held captive. Ho Yinsen is different from his comics counterpart, he is unaware of Tony's double life as Iron Man.

Now let's get down to the plots of the first and second season. Heads up Spoilers In bound:

First season:
The first season of Iron Man: Armored Adventures has a total of 26 episodes. Tony Stark, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Pepper Potts, Gene Khan, Happy Hogan, Whitney Stane, Black Panther, The Hulk, and S.H.I.E.L.D. all appear in this season.

The first season focuses on the Makluan Rings saga as Tony Stark, Pepper, James Rhodes, and Gene Khan work together to get the 5 rings. Upon overthrowing his stepfather Xin Zhang, Gene secretly works undercover to steal the rings from his friends, and ends up betraying them (which upsets Pepper). The season also features the Madame Masque Saga, which comes to a conclusion in the episode "Best Served Cold". Tony's feud with Obadiah Stane comes to a partial conclusion in that episode as well. The season ends with two primary cliffhangers in the episode "Tales of Suspense". The now-friendless Gene discovers that the original Mandarin had 5 other rings besides the original 5. Tony finds out that his father, Howard, survived the plane crash and is being held prisoner, while the armory is destroyed during Xin Zhang's attack limiting Tony's resources to find and rescue his father.

This season featured Makluan Guardian versions of Dreadknight, Ultimo, Firebrand, and Fin Fang Foom who guard the rings the Mandarin hasn't obtained yet.

Black Panther, Hulk, Rick Jones, Nick Fury, and S.H.I.E.L.D. make guest appearances.

Second season:
The second season of Iron Man: Armored Adventures has a total of 26 episodes, just like the first season. Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff, Hawkeye, Doctor Doom, Magneto and Justin Hammer appear in this season. General Nick Fury, Black Panther, Mr. Fix, Whiplash and Obadiah Stane return.

The second season covers the Armor Wars saga and Stane International storylines. The first half of Season 2 reflecting the Armor Wars has Tony and Rhodey as his definite partner War Machine fighting many people who have stolen Stark's armor tech and seek to exploit the stolen Iron Man specs for their own purposes. The enemies young Stark fights during this version of the Armor Wars include the Ghost who steals Iron Man specs and knows that Tony Stark is Iron Man. Ghost sells the specs to both Justin Hammer and Obadiah Stane but says he will not reveal Iron Man's true identity until Tony turns 18. Justin Hammer makes an armor with the Iron Man specs with the armor being called Titanium Man. Doctor Doom joins forces with Stane to attain the Iron Man armor operating system. Stane builds the Iron Monger armor which is revealed actually to be a direct upgrade from Crimson Dynamo armor (version 3) and is much larger than in the comic book and live action movie realities. The Armor Wars conclude as Obadiah Stane discovers the identity of Iron Man. Stane steals Iron Monger and is intent on destroying Tony once and for all.[

While Tony is fighting the Armor Wars, Howard Stark is shown to be alive and forced by Gene to find the other 5 Makluan Rings. Gene continues to find and secured the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth rings for himself during this time. This part of the season also included Makluan Guardian versions of Melter, Sunturion, Grim Reaper, and Grey Gargoyle who guard the remaining Makluan Rings.

The second half of season 2 showcases the printed page storyline of loosely based on the "Stane International" story arc. Justin Hammer (instead of Obadiah Stane) successfully buys control of Stark International. Stark, Rhodey and Potts all agree to fight against Hammer and his weaponization of Stark International's projects. Unlike the printed page version, Stark and Rhodes reject the title of Circuits Maximus for the new start-up and settle on "Stark Solutions" (opposite to Stark Enterprises of the printed page).

By the end of the second season, Pepper has assumed the armored identity of Rescue.

I know that's a lot.

Now one thing that you may have noticed from the opening theme I put up before all of this was the animation style. The series is made primarily using computer-generated imagery (CGI), in a similar style to MTV's Spider-Man: The New Animated Series and Nicktoons' original series Skyland. The technique is similar to cel-shading animation technique although the detail and resolution are lower. Now some may find the animation kinda off but I still like it.

Reception
The hour-long premiere of Iron Man: Armored Adventures broke Nicktoons Network's record of highest-rated original series by premiering with over 125,000 viewers.

Reviews of the pilot episode have been mixed. Some praise the series for its detailed and layered writing, strong continuity, and character designs. Entertainment Weekly gave the series debut a B+ grade, saying, "What could've been a clunky retrograde reboot works surprisingly well, thanks to some smart writing and stellar CG butt-kickery."

Awards
In 2012, Iron Man: Armored Adventures won the Pulcinella Award for Best TV Series for Teens.

In 2013, it was included on TV Guide's list of the 60 greatest cartoons of all time.

Now aside from Spider-man (who is actually referenced in The Ironman 2099 episode) Iron Man is my second favorite marvel character.

Now let's move onto what I liked and didn't like about the series.

Best to do negatives/things I didn't like first.

Now one thing I like about Iron Man is his armors, sadly there are only 7 armors Tony uses in the Series. His Mk1 Armor, Mk2 Armor, The Silver Centurion Armor, Stealth Armor, The Dynamo Buster Armor/Hulkbuster, Space Armor, and finally the Arctic Armor. Out of all of these armors however the Mk1 and Mk2 armors are used the most, followed by the stealth armor then the Space armor the Hulkbuster, lastly the arctic armor and Silver Centurion armor. The arctic armor and Silver Centurion Armor's were only used once in the entire series. My guess was the writers didn't know what to have them used for but that still upsets me. Secondly I kinda wish we got more armors, like a deep sea armor or a mining armor. If we are to ever get a season 3 I would like more armors made and used.

Something else I didn't like were some One off villains, basically villains that only really appeared once. For example Magneto or The Guardsmen. Ok well Magneto is mainly an X-Man villain so that makes sense but it would have been interesting to see the Guardsmen again......if they didn't get their suits taken away and most likely destroyed.

That's all I really didn't like.

Now let's do what I really liked about the show.

I loved the armors. Even if some were rarely used I loved how unique and versatile they were. The design of the armors were mainly based off of the Live action Iron Man film but they appeared to be more light weight and I love it.

There are also plenty of great villains. I will actually talk about the heroes and villains next time.
See y'all in the next chapter where I talk about the villains of the show.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter make sure to star/like and comment on your thoughts of Iron Man Armored Adventures so far.
Good BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
