I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of a thrill ride.

To be honest Tony Stark was a recovering alcoholic with his own personal demons; so Morton Downey Jr. may have something to bring to the character.
I like.









Time to hit the shops and buy up back issues. the value is gonna go up.

Am I the only one that felt some indifference to the trailer? Yeah, the CGI looked good, but when he's running with the jets, it just seemed a bit silly (oh, like comic books and comic book movies are supposed to be realistic).
On one side, you got your first Superman (Superman with Christopher Reeves), your first and later Batman (Batman and Batman Begins), your Spiderman, your XMen. On the other side, you got your Electra, your Daredevil, your Catwoman, your Hulk. I'm not convinced from the trailer which side this one will end up on.
Side comments. I never followed Iron Man, but I remember seeing him at least once as a black man. He and Spiderman were talking about their nonracial appearances with costumes on. Were there other iterations of the guy?





There was a later Iron Man that was a black guy, character's name is escaping me. It's Stark's friend though, and I think that's who Terrence Howard is in the movie.
Also...MORTON Downey Jr? You guys crack me up. It's Robert Downey Jr. Morton was the obnoxious chain-smoking big teethed talk show host from the late 80's/early 90's.
waffles are just pancakes with little squares on them.




you're thinking of jim rhodes. he took on the role of iron man when stark was injured/paralyzed waist down.
i do like how marvel fleshed out their characters in recent decades versus the old but dc also did some of the same. iron man has been fiddled with a little too much though (alcoholic, parapelgic, secretary of defense, etc.). oh boy.
but i always thought it would make a good transition if they could do the cgi right. and ever since jurassic park and then matrix, i thought they could.
i agree with jay i'm not sure how the story/movie will end up but the cgi's frickin' awesome. so who cares?naw, i'm hoping the plot and flow are really good. i hope.








I think I will have to see this, just because they played "Iron Man" in the trailer!! Brought a smile to my face....
I never realized that he has his own theme song lol!
heavy metal theme song for a heavy metal hero.... lol
I've come a long way since I believed in anything, and I've come half way around the world.
Where you come from is gone.
Where you thought you were going to was never there,
and where you are, ain't no good unless you can get away from it.

Letting Robert Downey, Jr. play a snarky ass... what a reach for him.
I love it already. =)

"In life, we DO a lot in order to accomplish mundane trivial things before we die, but it is in death and after death in memories that we will truly live, because it is in the level of care and detail that a person paints of us with stories from their memories and experiences with us that give us meaning."
Re: Black Iron Man
This happens all the time (to different degrees of effectiveness). They sidelined Tony Stark for a while and Jim "Rhoady" Rhodes took over. When Tony came back they didn't want to get rid of the Rhoady Iron Man so they came up with War Machine. The same thing happened with Green Lantern over at DC a while back. They tried this with Spiderman, too, but all it did was run the books into the ground, drive people away from Marvel in record numbers, and give rise to "Scarlet-Spider." The most redundant Marvel character ever.
Trailer looks good. Tony Stark is supposed to be a boozer, so Downey fits. As for the Villian of the film, it's got Jeff Bridges listed as "Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger" on the IMDB site. Considering how overtly racist most traditional portrayals of the Mandarin are, i just can't see them using him. Sometime in the 90's they had him somewhat decent, though, so who knows. I don't know a whole lot about Iron Man other than the 'Ultimate Avengers' stuff, so beats me as to whom his major Villains are (I have no clue who Iron Monger is, for instance).
