Been a while hasn’t it people. I’d like to call this a triumphrant return, but we both know that’d be a lie now whouldn’t we. Yea we would.
Now I know, many of you want a conclusion to the story I posted, so many months ago. Well you’re fuck out of luck here guys. I’m going to be compiling the whole, plus extras and the last part into a full ‘story’ as it were. I’m working on that along side my wedding speech for Jeff.
Reasons to read the new version. There will be more details, to the best of my memory at least added. Other then that, the only other reason to read it would be to get a deeper understanding of who I am, what I’ve become, what have you. But I digress, I’m simply trying to build it up to be something that will all let you down.
Without further ado, the real reason I came to post, I have to talk about IronMan, I need an outlet for my comic book nerdiness, and I’ve choosen the internet.
After reading a review posted on the Somethingawful forums, I did a little bit of further research into the movie, release dates of the obvious sequel, etc. You know the drill. I want to warn you guys now though, that there will be spoilers abound in here, I don’t care about you if you haven’t seen it. If you don’t want it ruined, leave now. The movie itself, great. Translated well from the comic (of what I know at least) to film. Updated accordingly and appeared to work. Casting, Robert Downy Jr. perfect, in fact all the cast was good. Tony Stark, a genius that drinks too much, parties like a young rich cat would. Gets blown up (in so many words) comes back changed, wants to help the people he’s hurt, blah blah. That said, the telling of him build his first suit, etc. Told amazing, puts you right into it, then pulls a flash back to show his life style leading up to his kidnapping. All worked beautifully. Even after he escapes, flows great until about halfway through making his new suit. It goes from “Oh yea, I can fly” to “Hey look, I’m done, let’s paint it pretty colors” Seemed rushed, could have used a little more detail, but then, also could have used so more action, the last maybe 30 mins maybe was him in the suit. He takes out some bad guys, tells his Army buddy (who turns out, Warmachine) that he’s in a suit, then all of a send, his Dad’s friend is stealing his heart-keeper-aliver and then, the end and we have our sequel line “I am IronMan” cue Black Sabbath. Not to seem like I’m trying to put down the movie, it was good, I liked it, can’t wait for the next one. Just seemed like a lot of build up for little pay off.
There is my rant, but to put the icing on the cake of the next one, is Sammy Jackson, in Tony’s house after the credits roll. He introduces himself as Nick Fury (which hey, I’m ok with that I suppose. They made the Kingpin black in Daredevil, worked great with Duncan-Clark. He also had the look for The Kingpin though. Large man, bald, works. Nick Fury is a war hero from the 40′s that’s taken chemicals to reduces his aging, has dark hair with greying sideburns. Sam Jackson is a loud black bald that slapped on an eyepatch. It will make all those Ultimate Avengers/Ironman people happy though. Guess I’m too old school for that stuff. But I digress.) head of S.H.I.E.L.D. talks about the Avengers. Which through my research I’ve found that, IronMan 2, will be out sometime in 2010, around April. Paired closely with The First Avenger: Captain America (working title) followed by The Avengers in 2011, using the established characters and introducing new ones obviously.
And there is my second rant. And I’m go for the night.
