Let's Watch The Iron Man 3 Trailer

- Start date
I think Iron Man 3 has promise, and I say that as someone who didn't enjoy the first two movies quite as much as everyone else. I loved Tony Stark and enjoyed him when he wasn't wearing his suit, but the moment he put it on things always got boring for me. I mean, the main villain in Iron man 1 turn out to just be another guy in a suit, imagine the face-palm I gave after seeing the second movie! I can't enjoy Iron man if hes just fighting more guys in suits or robots, because I know he has so much more interesting villains he could be fighting. It's just really anti-climatic to go to these movies as see him playing rock-em sock-em robots. But Seeing who the villain is going to be in the third movie has filled me with genuine hope that we might get something interesting this time!
One of your bolds actaully is broken. You added in a / in the first part.

So besides the Mandarin (who I'm glad is in this movie, because I love over-the-top Bond villain mastermind types) or anyone who's technically an Avengers villain, which of Iron Man's Rogues' Gallery isn't i) a corporate rival, ii) some kind of spy who probably can't hold their own with Iron Man in a straight fight, or iii) someone in a suit? Living Laser? MODOK? (He'd actually be fun.) Anybody else? I'd love to see AIM show up at some point as successors to HYDRA.xPixelatedx said:
I refuse to watch this video for the same reason I refuse to watch any trailer for a movie I expect to really enjoy- I like my movie experience to be pristine and unspoilt, as much of a tabula rasa as possible. The joy of discovering something new is a big deal for me. There have been a few exceptions; the trailers I saw for Inglorious Basterds gave away absolutely nothing important. For me, such exceptions are a rare treat.
So, Bob, I'll come back and watch this after the movie comes out. In the meantime feel free to do one for a movie this particular Iron Man fanboy will give fewer damns about.

Wasn't there a picture shown quite a while back from the set of Iron Man 3 with an AIM sign? MODOK in a film would be so awesome. They can do Mandarin, why not MODOK?Falseprophet said:
I expect that they'll rename the Mandarin to something a little less blatantly offensive, something along the lines of a CIA case-file name. "The Scholar," "The Teacher," "The Ringmaster," "M," "The Wanderer (My personal choice, as it would give him an opportunity to meet/inspire/arm various IM villains such as The Ten Rings from IM1 and Ivan Vanko in IM2,)" etc.
Regardless, while it will still be a character piece on Tony Stark (let's be honest with this director), the villain will be a much stronger character than the last few (Hammer, in particular, was less of a villain and more of an irritant).

I've been watching the Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated Avengers series (its fucking awesome go watch it) and all its done is make me even more impatient for all the Marvel movies coming. I don't even read comics all that often but god damn is their so much awesome shit to geek out over lol.
What do the movie crews behind Iron Man have against his house? In like every movie it gets trashed. And why would he be at his house, doesn't he have Stark Tower? I mean, if he can keep rebuilding his house every other day, surly he can rebuild his big, important tower.
Isn't that the basic plot of that forgotten film Stealth?Revolutionaryloser said:
The suit used Jarvis as an OS and basic AI (i.e. capable of complex tasks, but unable to act on its own) that uses some kind of interface that goes beyond just tactile and vocal comands, likely connecting directly to his nervous system though the power core. The combination of the illness in IM2 and the supernatural events of The Avengers could have imprinted a crude copy of Stark onto the suit, but it would be way too easy to go that route (again, it's been done a few times).
Something I forgot when I posted above which would be interesting: The Ten Rings organization, which were modeled more after the 1980s Mujaheddin with members from all over the world (Belgian and German were mentioned as languages spoken), could have been an advance team of the (and I'll just call him this until we hear otherwise) Mandarin, who used the power vacuum created by the war in the mountainous region in southern Afghanistan to set up a base of operation under the guise of a standard warlord. It would explain the actions of the group, which seemed keen on securing villages and obtaining advanced weapons technology, as well as explaining who they are and how they are united together and why they seem less interested in engaging US forces like the Taliban and more controlling territory (again, attacking and clearing out villages).
Reading that Extremis article kind of felt like a giant spoiler for all three Iron Man movies. Wow, did they ever take cues from that in the first two, and the trailer isn't looking any less cluttered with pulls from there. I'm now scared for the lives of certain characters, having read that. Will be interesting to see how they handle the post-Avengers issue though. And I can't help but wonder how much of each characters individual stories (not so much Thor or Banner, I suppose) will be matters of pride, of "I don't need to call in the other guys, I can handle this on my own" kind of setups. Though, I'd love to see a line in Avengers 2 of "Hey, heard about the thing. Why didn't you call, you know I'd have come help."
My fragmented memory of the 90s Iron-man TV series runs counter to Moviebob's theory about a self-aware suit. In that they basically boil Mandarin down to a villain whose sole objective is to get Iron-man's suit.
