Barely matters, I have total faith they'll make him look every bit as badass and terrifying as they did with the Lizard in the first one.
Oh yeah, nailed it.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Oh yeah, nailed it.
Did not read whole thread so this is probably covered already - but did Iron Man's armor seem absurdly weak in this movie? And I'm not just talking about the prototype he was stuck with most of the time either. In the Avengers, he could take Thor's hammer to the chest. Here, it seems like a really hot touch to the midsection can disable the whole suit... Some of the suits seemed to be made of solidified butter.
I liked the movie overall, but really could have used more "Iron Man kicking ass with gadgets" time.

I think that part that was intended design of the prototypes... if you look at the scene with Pepper in the bedroom during his nightmare, he makes one well placed strike and it dissassembles...
As for the suits melting to "the mandarin's" touch... he could have also just floated a couple meters (out of fire breathing range) and light him up without repercussion, but nope. MOVIETIME

Yeah that was a pretty weird scene. Design awesome superpowered suit to fight aliens and gods. Ensure it breaks apart to one well placed karate chop...
nope. in one scene he karate chop an armor and cut it in half from head to pelvis. Tony had midair jump out of it to avoid that if i remember well

He's talking about the bedroom scene, not when Killion slagged it. Tony doesn't actually chop the suit, he just has it programmed to disassemble when he does that two hand chop motion. Same as how his little kung fu pose summons the thing.
And I agree, suits were weak as a motherfucker. Was pretty disappointed he didn't end up in the Hulkbuster armor and at least kick a little ass.

You have to admit that the choice of clothing is definitely interesting though. I doubt she wore the same outfit every issue, so that's clearly a strange choice if they aren't going to film that scene.
Also, comics need more of that shit. Everyone being brought back to life takes away all tension.
You know this discussion got me thinking about the parallels between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. They are very similar characters, obviously, but in the movie Tony was like the anti-Batman. Where Batman has some elaborate strategy planned for every possible instance, most of Tony's plans either backfired on him or didn't account for what actually happened and he was blindsided. I just realized that. huh

Not to mention he is very open about who he is. He is the same person in the suit as he is out of it. Bruce Wayne and Batman are very different people.

Tony is the scientist who creates his own shit to help him fight while Bruce is the consummate fighter who has others make his shit to help him fight. (Which has never really been explained in the comics)
Since Tony has the Iron Man armor, he doesn't need even half the fucking gadgets that Batman does, no batmobile, batboat, batcopter, batbreather, batbombs etc.

I think that's part of the appeal of Iron Man. Tony Stark is who he is, there's no fucking around with the standard secret identity or double life or whatever you get with Bat/Spider/Super-man etc. Not that those ideas are bad as such, they can be used in an interesting way, but they've become really overplayed in the last decade or so of the comic book movie explosion.
