iron man~~
24 Apr 2011 07:02 pmFinally watched the two Iron Man movies properly. Cynical self-deprecating idiots who are too immature to wear the badge of superhero honour with self-important righteousness is right up my alley (not that that made any sense XD)
So apparently Marvel has a habit of forcing audience to stay for the credits.
At the end of Iron Man 2, Agent Coulson gets out of his car (having taken leave from Tony Stark in the middle of the movie) and seesMewmew Mjollnir embedded in a rock. He pulls out a phone and reports, "Found it, sir."
The exact same scene appears in Thor shortly before Coulson confiscates all of Jane's research and Thor crashes Coulson's swirly construction. It would have helped if they explained Coulson's background a bit more for non-Marvel fans ==;;;; For most of the movie I thought Coulson was a bad guy (it did not help that in classic cannon fodder villain tradition he almost got blown to smithereens by the big Iron Man lookalike). And that he tried to recruit Thor by talking down to him.
Watching Iron Man makes me feel like I must have a mecca fangirl hidden in me somewhere. The coolest scenes (apart from the massively pwning laser beams and the endless arsenal of explosives) are the bits where he tests and constructs new hardware. That, and the movies' always got a sense of humour about it all.
And Tony Stark reminds me of Tony Di Nozzo, but...I guess though they could both manage to be annoying, at least Stark is less inappropriate. Funny that, both being playboys. Must be a Hollywood thing LOL
