Let's Watch The Iron Man 3 Trailer

[Canadish]

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.

Damn it. Now I have to watch that epic guitar-solo of an intro and then shave all the hair off my chest again...

Glad to see I wasn't the only one.

It was an interesting trailer. Glad to see they're not trying to upscale the Avengers. The suit being self-aware sounds really interesting...curious what they'll do with it.

And always glad to see the Mandarin. He may not be PC, but I absolutely love the guy, he's a classic.

If they don't call him "The Mandarin" it's gonna be a sad day for the 9th Art... It's not a slur or anything, the bad guy just goes by that name. Grow up world.

.....checks the wiki....ooooh

so does this mean the movies will do the cuting edge armor next?maybe even towards the end of the movie since every ironman movie and the avengers had tony getting a new suit 1/2 through the movie?

You forgot the best part of the trailer my friend.
If you freeze the trailer at 1:12 you will see something interesting.
Let me help you with an artwork of mine:

Yes, biggest question is where does that giant bunny come from.

Now we know XD

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I think it'll be interesting to see Stark in conflict with his own suit. In the previous movies, it was the suit that always pulled through, even when Stark's heart light was going out or pumping toxins into his blood. I think it was Captain America who asked the question "without your suit, what are you?" I just hope it doesn't come down to the 'kill it with the power of love' plot device that Doctor Who has been using far too much recently. Because I'm sure we all know there is only one show that can get away with using the power of love, and it's a girls' cartoon.

The problem is that it is a name that comes out of a time where race and ethnic sensitivity was effectively non-existent, and sounds like a slightly more sinister version of the the term "Chinaman." Like Bob noted, while he is certainly one of the core villains in Marvel Cannon and the equivalent of Iron Man's Doctor Doom, the character is based on the reoccurring "yellow scare" that pops up in the US every 30-40 years and can be particularly offensive if handled poorly.

Plus, outside of terrorist groups (fun fact: the now-deceased brief second-in-command of alQaeda Central following the death of Osama Bin Ladin was nicknamed The Libyan "alLibi" and is regarded by some to be the reason for the attack in Benghazi in September) and organized crime stories (see "The American"), no one calls themselves by their geographic or racial/ethnic identity. I think he will be renamed "the teacher" for his alias and given a western name for his actual identity.

Indeed.
Sure you, me and many others know the story of this villain that why we don't care so much about it.
But what about the 80% of the other people they watched only the movies of Ironman, not the old comics?
This is a perspective we must think in all the movies and much more we can't even think of.

See the really bad Transformers movies of Michael Bay!
They clearly do a REALLY BAD job for us to enjoy this film cause the movies didn't have the "real" spirit of the old Transformers we had knew from our childhood.
But what about the other peoples they don't wear the Nostalgia glasses?
Also what about the young children they only think the awesome toys will get cause of the movie?

So, even I want to kill myself when I know Michael Bay will make a TMNT movie, but with aliens.....yeah....but I am 90% sure they doing that with a solid reason to make a lot of money.

I can deal with the giant stuffed rabbit being in Stark's Mansion.

...but why oh why does it have tits?

 

[Angnor]

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.

I just finished watching that this past weekend with my son. Is it just me or does the person voicing Tony Stark sound a little like Movie Bob?

Well, typical "epic" music. Bob's gotta love that. Nothing that any of the "cool kids" would have listened to back in high school.

Um.

I'm pretty sure those are arms. Yeah. Interesting where you minds went, though.

OT: I bet that "Suit Grabs Pepper" thing is just one of the nightmares he mentioned. Although it looks like she gets kidnapped later on, so maybe not. It certainly be interesting if the suit took on a life of it's own...But it would also have the potential to be incredibly silly. Still, this looks a lot better then Iron Man 2, whose trailer seemed primarily like an attempt to cash in on good will left over from the first one. (Look! More AC/DC!) I guess I'm cautiously optimistic about this.

One of your bolds actaully is broken. You added in a / in the first part.

<quote=Moviebob>[/b] 01:03 - 01:07[/b] Stark's house, being visited by more news helicopters - oh, wait ...

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed!

What I can say, when I think the "adventures" Tony Stark had in the past......why not?
Obviously I knew it was arms, but I wanted to make it more interesting cause of Tony past.

I'm amazed that I'm the only person I've seen to point out that the Red-White-and-Blue armor is OBVIOUSLY Firepower. Seriously, I feel like the kids in South Park when the adults are all doing something incomprehensibly stupid and won't listen.

Well the guy who does animated iron man intentionally tries to speak and sound like robert downey jr. which he kinda does. I wouldn't say he sounds like bob but they kinda have a similar tone/sound to their voice though I guess.

 

[Smokescreen]

I like Shane Black's movies and I like his scripts (what I've seen, anyway.)

So I'm actually hoping this will be an improvement on the series.

It's Rhodes wearing the Iron Patriot armor as an upgraded War Machine suit. Where do you get Firepower from?

 

[Eisenfaust]

When the Mandarin removes his hood he isn't wearing his rings... production error or notable point? Hmmmm...

Additionally, they'll skirt around the whole "We're racist for calling him the Mandarin" thing by doing what they always do with character names in the new movies:

Iron man: Ironmonger says "We're ironmongers, you and I"
Hulk: Having turned Blonsky into the Abomination, Sterns says "It's an abomination!"

Backhand references to the actual comic book character names that only fans will understand

They'll have someone, off the cuff, refer to the Mandarin as "that Mandarin bastard!", etc, to perhaps be dismissed by another character as racism, but in either case glossed over. That being said, I like it done this way, so I'm not complaining... just pointing out that that's how they might get around offending the Chinese

Wasn't there an infamous Iron Man comic where the suit's AI went insane and ended up committing suicide? Also, didn't the film's suit also have an AI? I'm pretty sure it had a very advanced AI in all 3 films. Strange Bob is omitting something so obvious. Maybe he doesn't even want to consider the worst case scenario.

Yes, there's an Iron Man comic wherein the suit gets an AI, falls in love with Tony, and tries to commit a murder-suicide on/with Stark. No, it doesn't make any more sense with context.

As for the movie's AI, that's a bit more complicated. The AI in the movies is simply Jarvis re-imagined. It's not a suit AI so much as it is "Tony's personal assistant/butler, who just happens to be able to connect to the suit". It's possible that JARVIS could be turned against Stark, but it's highly unlikely. It's more likely, judging by what we've seen here, that either Bob is correct or it's someone who managed to steal the suit.
