More likely he's controlling his armor with the Extremis virus.
I just read the six issue story arc of Extremis, and didn't find it that impressive. What am I missing?

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!
If the second one was 2 hours of the Iron Man / War Machine back to back fighting, it would have been great. But Hammer ruined the whole thing imo.

The only problem I had with Iron Man 2 was the anticlimactic ending. The whole chase scene between Iron Man and the robots was too long. I'd have rather had a longer and more interesting final showdown with Whiplash.

The whole movie was an anti-climax. Whiplash was underutilized, Hammer was comedic relief and never a threat, and the poisoning was easily rectified. The whole thing felt like a set-up for the Avengers and Iron Man 3 without any real meat within. Still a better movie than most comic related properties based on talent alone.

Saw the new trailer last night when the wife and I went to see Jack the Giant Slayer (very meh movie there..).
Was nice that my wife has gotten into the Marvel universe to be cognizant of and ask any why there were so many different armors, and nice to see one of my favorites get a second of airtime.
I'm putting the odds at 75% that one of the Mandarin's rings ends up being an infinity gauntlet gem.

The rings will be merely symbolic and have no true power. Mandarin is a terrorist who just has a passion for ancient china. He'll be like the joker in the dark knight... Grounded in reality. Mysticism and sorcery are only in thor and a future dr. Strange movie.
Btw, anyone think the hulkbuster armor looks a hell of a lot like a space marine terminator?

If they roll with "The rings are just ugly jewelry" there will be fanboy riots.. And they've gone to pretty considerable lenghts to make sure they didn't set off that level of rage. Although I could also see a "He didn't realize how powerful this one particular ring really is..." angle as the post credit teaser.
And yes, the HB armor did have a lot of space marine vibe to it. Assuming that was really the HB armor and not his "ultra deep sea" gear.

I think that could have been said about all of these Marvel movies so far, especially Thor and Captain America. All of them turned out to be at least decent movies.

Scale is different and it's all mysticism and magic and the supernatural which I think just generally feels very different from most other superheros.

I have said it once and I will say it again... Constantine sequel.
Although a Dr. Strange movie would be interesting, I am not sure how the masses will accept the magic and mysticism on a large scale.
Then again Thor did all right and Marvel has built up a lot of cred with the movie going public lately.

I guess I just don't see why people would be hung up about magic and mysticism. I mean, look at the Hell Boy movies. Those had all sorts of weird creatures, demons, magic, and they were really well received. Assuming they craft the movie's world well and create a believable setting in which magic can exist I don't think anyone would bat an eye.
The only problem I foresee with a Dr. Strange movie is if they try to tie it in to the others, because then you have this clash of the largely sci-fi world of The Avengers with the purely magical world of Dr. Strange.

This was my problem with Captain America. That movie felt like it had no point other than to set up for Avengers. I loved Avengers, but I didn't want to sit through a few hours of Cap being boring to set up for it.

you have to understand, studio producers are quite possibly the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.
Completely made up trending as law.
Tons of magic movies get put out constantly. yet, we keep seeing this insistence on trying to ground the magic in comics in science. Even Thor, and Asgard, was aliens and advanced science.
You can't explain it. there is no logic.
When things like trublood, Twilight are super popular. and are straight up magic.
Starwars, the most popular Sci-fi of all time, was firmly based on MAGIC. and fans even got pissed when the magic was retconned to science.
So yeah, any attempt to say, you can't have magic in this stuff. just slap anyone that says that. its stupid.
At worst, you can do a handwaving, ala Thor, and Clarke. any sufficiently advanced science...
