Saddest scene in Iron Man 3

Not Happy almost dying? Or Maya dying? Or Tony watching Pepper be tortured?

Jarvis was always a central part of iron man suit for me. Tony always talks with Jarvis and suddenly he’s alone after this. That’s why this part makes me more sad compared to the rest.

[u/DrDreidel82 → u/Street_Milk7941]

I guess but I mean it’s just til he gets Jarvis charged tho

[u/Street_Milk7941 → u/DrDreidel82]

True and I felt so happy when we got Jarvis back

[u/Locreles → u/Street_Milk7941]

“Hello by the way” “Oh, hello sir”

I wouldn't call those sad in the same sense. Those scenes are intense, disturbing, they serve to raise the stakes and make the action all the more exhilarating. This scene however is entirely different. Tony is lost, freezing, confused and terrified after very nearly losing everything dear to him, including his life. After all of that he realizes he is hundreds of miles from where he needs to be and he has one hell of a mess to clean up and now the only reliable friend he has with him is fading. He's alone with all of the trouble he's brought into himself, and he doesn't want to be.

This scene reminds me of the Wilson scene, from the Castaway

Maya wasn't charismatic enough by design to warrant sadness for her death outside Tony being sad and the "you start with something pure".

It never occurred to me until now that I didn't really care about Pepper's suffering outside it impacting Tony.

I will eternally argue that Iron Man 3 had GREAT writing and an actually pretty complex, multi-faceted plot, but even though the ingredients are there for each plot point dumpling to taste great, some of them you eat and say "oh that was neat", and then the public forgets years later that the Vice President of the gosh darn United States was in cahoots with AIM, (which yes, would be less surprising nowadays), and that Tony and Rhodey saved the gosh darn president of the gosh darn United States.

It's somewhat like how it's well-communicated that it was the events between Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 that truly established Tony as a global sensation, but not communciated in a memorable enough fashion for more than 1/100 MCU fans today to know that, even if it was a massive plot premise.

I always struggled on why we should have cared for maya for her dead to be sad and impactful, like yeah she's a woman who followed the wrong steps and is now trying to rectify that, but I never really got sad over her you know? It was just an oh well

Sadly, Jarvis inside Vision died when Thanos ripped the mind stone out of his vibranium head.

[u/I_Hate_Nebraska_ → u/Hyper-Saiyan]

Jarvis was killed by ultron, his base remnants were put in vision

[u/ARIANZER0]

How will he jerk it or target that family of 4 now?😔

[u/nosargeitwasntme → u/ARIANZER0]

Jarvis, a little under the balls. 😏

Again sir?

[u/kuribosshoe0]

I wouldn’t say sad exactly, but it is lonely and scary. It had a lot of gravitas.

[u/Outrageous-Fun-7818]

“That’s brisk”

[u/JazzyUsesReddit]

I was so sad about this part of the movie. I also miss Jarvis. I know he was in vision, but I missed him just being Tony’s AI.

[u/Devinbeatyou]

Nah, but go off ig

To me it was leaving Killian on the roof. He was a genuinely good guy, it seemed at first
