Spoiler: show

the Pepper "dying" scene lost almost all its effect for me knowing that she was being treated with the super soldier serum whose name is escaping me at the time

Spoiler: show

Did I miss something? She survived because she had extremis

Spoiler: show

extremis is the name I forgot. It's essentially a super soldier serum, no? Like satchel said, it made for a lame death scene

[Peeps]

Spoiler: show

yea in the movie they made it a super soldier derivitive but i dont think anyone who was watching the movie thought she died as everyone realized she was injected with it.

some easter eggs

the chick who had extremis. her name in the movie ellen brandt (scar on cheek) was the wife of Man-thing, who was created by....AIM

the ball of metal in his lab is actually the formula one race car from IM2

This was the film it needed to be. An almost total break from the established format.
It was scary. And super tense. It also went on a bit too long bit I can forgive that.
I know it said tony stark will return but I fell like they should leave this here.
It's perfect as is.

I don't feel like starting a thread, this is the closest thing to an Avengers thread. Did everyone already know that Spader was playing Ultron in the next Avengers movie? Just read that yesterday.

They announced that yesterday....its a really good choice. There was a rumor that Ultron was going to be Jarvis, played by Paul Bettanny.

[bune]

Ultron could still be Jarvis, just with a voice change from Bettanny to Spader.

Ultron could still be Jarvis, just with a voice change from Bettanny to Spader.

That would be weird.

[Peeps]

not weird, and heres how

backstory of ultron

Spoiler: show

created by henry pym. used his own brain imprints to give it AI. turns out it kept making itself better and better and wanted to show "father" how great he was so he set out to destroy his fathers "best" creation, the avengers

one of the rogue suits could have jarvis downloaded into it. jarvis is pissed that his creator decided to destroy all the suits. so he is hell bent on destroying the avengers. to show he has no allegiance to stark he changes his personality and voice to something of his own choosing

That was hinted....but why change the story so much if they are going to make an Ant Man movie?

[Peeps]

i dont believe the antman will be hank pym ant man but more that civil-war ant-man (his name escapes me right now) but hes a jerk of a guy from shield who got his hands on the ant man uniform and used it to sneek into the ladies locker room or something and then it went south from there so he was on the run from the authorities

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[bune]

That depends. How much do you like Shane Black Movies®?

[epilogue]

I adore the third one. Which pretty much assures that you're gonna hate it, trag.

[bune]

Also: do you really want to know who that random kid from the funeral scene was?

[epilogue]

I really like Shane Black movies! I really enjoyed the first Ironman, but here’s everything I hated about the second one:

The party while wearing the Ironman suit

The brawl at the party with don cheadle

Basically everything with Don Cheadle (whom I usually love, just hated his character)

ScarJo

Nick Fury

The nonsense with the town plan model hiding the key to Ironman’s wellness

Overall just a huge piece of crap. I like the gadgets, the playboy lifestyle, and Sam Rockwell is always welcome. The attempts to build on the mythology of the character mostly fell flat.

We seem to be in agreement on most of IM:1 & IM:2. I think I can tolerate 2 a little more than you and I don't remember disliking ScarJo or Nick Fury in it. But it's been a long time.

If you also like Shane Black, then I think you might enjoy three. It's a completely different movie, which is why it's so divisive.

[bune]

the town model...man, I had forgotten about that. That was so dumb. It's supposed to be a collider but then - for reasons? - he can pull it apart and it still works.

I also love Shane Black movies and three is one of my favorite Marvel movies.
