Yeah RDJ is quippy but he's always quippy and it feels more normal in that movie. Like he's just a witty guy in everyday situations more than a guy who is having soft serves thrown at him so he can hit them back.

i guess i don't see the difference with other MCU quippy stuff. like, i copied this from the IMDb quote section of the movie:

Tony Stark: Am I making you uncomfortable?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Oh, no, I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in a room full of people I work with in a dress with no back.
Tony Stark: Well, you look great, you smell great. But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I don't think you could tie your shoes without me.
Tony Stark: I'd make it a week.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: A week, really? What's your social security number?
Tony Stark: [he pauses]
Tony Stark: Five...
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [smiling] "Five?" You're missing just a couple of digits.
Tony Stark: Right, the other eight. Well, I have you for the other eight.

this entire exchange is nothing but an avalanche of MCU style quips. i think it's hard for a scene to get more "typical MCU" than this.

As for "I don't know how I could say people who dislike the MCU would like it" uhhh I say that because it's the pattern I notice among people I interact with I'm not making it up for an argument. So you'd have to ask them (Cap1/Winter Soldier and GotG are the others they tend to like more btw)

yeah, i phrased that poorly. i didn't mean to say you made it up for an argument, i meant to say "how can people who dislike the MCU say this is one of the best ones?" i totally get why they would like first avenger and winter soldier, those are plenty of different from the typical MCU style. i even get guardians of the galaxy - that one also has lots of quips, yes, but it still feels a lot more like a james gunn/troma movie (with an unusually high budget) than an MCU movie. don't get at all why they would like iron man so much, though.
