Iron man was great
Iron man 2 was the most disappointing thing of 2010. It had so much damn potential and they screwed it up as much as they got the first one right.
People that hear this complaint from me say "they were showing that they were going to do the avengers". Thats fine if its a very little here or there but IM2 was basically punching you in the face that they were going to make it.
But Yes Iron man = Win
I enjoyed Iron Man 2 a great deal. I never understood the hate for that. But then again I love Spider Man 2.
I also enjoyed Iron man2, was it as good as Iron man? hells no, but it was enjoyable enough for a superhero movie. And I have very little love for Spiderman in general.
I want to make clear I am not a fan of Spider Man as a character. I rarely read his books (same with Supes) but with the exception of 3, I quite like Spidey on film. Iron Man has had a way better translation, though.
Spidey was the Man. I had more issues of his 3 or 4 titles than anything else.
The movies were fun, but Maguire was stuck in nerd mode and didn't capture the way Parker grew out of the awkward teen phase and got cool. That happens when you get bitten by a radioactive spider and become stronger than everyone but Hulk. You get cool.
That's what happened when I got bitten by a radioactive business consultant.
Iron Man is awesome. I'm a fan of the second film too, actually. Got it for Christmas on Blu Ray ![]()
Here's my idea for Iron Man 3 (like that matters much ![]()
Act I
We begin with Tony cleaning up, destroying a number of facilities that are basing weapons of war on his design. He avoids killing too many people, trying to maintain his hero status.
ACT II
He finds trouble balancing his Iron Man activities with running Stark Industries and consulting for The Avengers. To reduce his workload he designs a remote Iron Man installing Jarvis as the control system. This improves the Iron Man design as there is no longer the human element to take into consideration. Meanwhile Tony focuses on the business and build the Mandroids for S.H.I.E.L.D.
ACT III
Jarvis goes all HAL, destroying the Mandroids based on the data that they are copies of Stark's designs. Jarvis goes rogue. TOny must build another, improved suit with limited resources. Jarvis has access to the web and Tony must accept help (Reed Richards maybe?) to build a MK VI or whatever. He has to face Jarvis toe to toe in an epic Iron Man on Iron Man battle. Tony then must reconfigure Jarvis.
Wudya think?
Listened to the comm along with the film. Can I just say, when Teague asked 'What is Quantum Leap?' I died a little inside, but when Brian sang the theme tune I smiled.

I've found it interesting that while Marvel heroes have done better live action, it's DC that has had the most success in animation. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the characters themselves, or if it's just who has been in charge of making them. It's not the DC comics I love, but what Bruce Timm and friends have created (and I can't wait for Bruce Timm's Green Lantern TV series starting in the fall)
The thing that always bothered me about super man is that he is practically invincible so there is nothing really at stake other then other people getting hurt which drops the tension. (for me at least)
It is harder to write a good Superman story, and his strength varies as one writer will de-power him to fit his plots and a later one will have him be a god. The animated series did a good job balancing things, and with Darkseid had a bad guy who could defeat him.
My 2¢: The only superhero movie i love is The Dark Knight. I enjoyed Iron Man because of RDJ and the great fx but the story was just ok. The fact i've never read an Iron Man comic didn't help - i was more of a DC guy back in the day.
In the Rifftrax, during the scene in the office with Jeff Bridges they say something like "just fix yourself a caucasian Dude" that cracked me up.
I'm glad we weren't having this conversation live on the show because the first thing I blurted out of my stupid mouth would have been "Is iron magnetic?" And then I would have sat there in shock once my brain realized what my mouth had just done.
