I love how Tony made the whole power absorption mechanic as more of a safety precaution at first, but after Thor shocked him with that bolt in Avengers 1 and accidentally powered up the suit, Tony basically said "let's make this bug into a feature" and made a conduit specifically for Thor on the suit's back
@MusicLover-my6fo
The fact that Tony took three of these mistakes from his life and added as a precautionary measure in Peter's suit after one month of knowing him just showed how much he really cared about him.

Also; because he couldn't reach Rhodes in time when he fell, in infinity war he made a giant jet booster so he can fly faster. Because in Iron man 3 he ended up unarmed without his suit, in civil war he made a watch that turns into a weaponized glove if he didn't have his suit. Because in Iron man 2 warmachine got hacked, Tony programmed more artifical intelligences and upgraded Jarvis's AI, resulting in Jarvis stopping Ultron's attempts to hack nuclear codes. (didn't stop Ned and Peter from hacking into the spiderman suit though)

These details that weren't verbatum mentioned in the movies, but instead relied on the audiences attentiveness and intelligence to spot is what made the old MCU great - and what I believe greatly contributed to building such a fanbase for Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. It feels so refreshing to watch these compilations, knowing that these didn't have to be spoon-fed to us at the time, but we still realised they all happened as part of the story. It's rewarding, satisfying and above all respectful to the audience. And it makes investing yourself in a show well worth it.

Tony showing Peter the heated suit trick was absolutely adorable. Poor kid never fully comprehended the extent of how gifted he truly was to have this man.
@Nobody77246
Back when character development was a crucial point of the plot. Tony was a genius, and geniuses don't tolerate failures.
@1pepituh
Another cool detail for Rhodey's fall: He fell because the suit's power source (the chest thing) got damaged, In Tony's more recent suits, you can see a main power source in his chest and many smaller sources on his arms and legs. This not only boosts the suits' weapons, but also keeps it powered if the main source fails.

7:55 “lost to a guy on steroids and a salad plate” is insane
@Kodiak_P
The biggest improvement he ever made to his suits was increasing the speed at which he could put them on. His first suit took so long to put on and start that Yinsen died. So each of the following suits where subsequently made easier and faster to put on. He believed he failed Yinsen, and strove to never make that mistake again.

This really goes to show that genius isn't about knowing everything, it's about learning and adapting
@MC-qm5jn
this video made me realize the connection between cap saying “take off the suit, what are you?” and stark telling peter “if you’re nothing without the suit then you don’t deserve it”
@explosiveshark2329
7:48 "lost to a guy on steroids and a salad plate" bro did capt so dirty
@bitlasagna8966
Probably the best one is that during Infinity War, he struggled to take the stones from Thanos. In Endgame, he added a feature both in the suit and the gauntlet to ensure an easy snatch should it be necessary
@alfieladdie
In the first Iron Man movie, before Tony revealed his identity, his suit was equipped with a voice changer until later at the end, revealing himself that he is Iron Man and thought that it was not necessary to have one anymore. In Spider-Man Homecoming, Tony thought it would be useful for Peter to have and use a voice changer to protect his identity when he is gifting him his new suit. The voice changer was used in one scene where Peter failed (almost) to interrogate someone. I thought it was kind of a cool small detail and that Tony would really want to protect other people's identity when trying out his gear.

Stands to show, not making mistakes isn’t what makes you better, learning from your mistakes is what truly makes you stronger
@PaddyRoon7
1:52 little detail I liked: Tony tries to blast two beams, but the left one isn't working. Next time, he only raises the hand that is working.
@dank9725
I'm sure it's been said but, I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to implement these changes in the MCU without most of the audience realizing the significance behind these upgrades. I think we just chalk it up to him being a world class inventor and he's always improving on his creations.
@keaganvang2818
He also had issues with his firing mechanism when Bucky was about to escape through the middle silo. So in accordance to this he made missiles that fire independently and targeted specific things.
@ish_ish288
You gotta love how most mistakes he learnt from were added to Peter’s suit. He wants Peter to be better than himself.
