I mean, it is a comic book film, a little suspension of belief is kinda demanded. Looking good, and I'm hoping it lives up to the first two (well, one, the second was merely ok, though Sam Rockwell is awesome), and it's looking like Tony is drawing attention that a sharp wit can't save him from. Interesting that they went with the Mandarin - I saw some interviews saying that since they've had the Thor stories they think magic storylines are more acceptable to the general public, so they won't be some kind of tech. I do wonder if Rhodes will fully become Warmachine - another character for the Avengers? And will Hank Pym be making an appearance, or will he be saved for the Avengers 2...? | ||

But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes the right person for the job doesn't exist. Kingpin was white but Michael Clark Duncan was probably still the best person for the job. | ||

Yeah like I said, I understand that it's a comic and it's supposed to be fiction and I don't mind the guy flying around in his suit and shooting lasers from his hands. It's just that building the thing in a random cave is ridiculous on a different level. I think it's kind of plausible that with enough technological advancement people could some day make a suit like that and fly around, which makes it an acceptable story overall for me. However, a guy building that in a cave is 0% plausible :D. I'll still watch the movie, though, can't resist the mancrush on robert downey jr :3 | ||

The original suit he built wasn't couldn't fly around like jets (it fell apart after rocketing away just one time) or shoot lasers out of his hands. | ||

Earlier in the trailer you can see Tony with some something around his head and a suit behind him already turned on. Later, you see the suit grab Pepper while Tony is sleeping. After the explosion on his home, I don't think he had enough time to put on a suit and I think it's the other suit with it's own AI/Tony's conscience. That is if everything in the trailer happens in order. The suit grabbing pepper seems like a nightmare that Tony's having, cause it's highly unlikely a suit could walk into his room without him waking up and knowing about it. But your idea seems cool too =D | ||

I love Iron Man, probably TOO much. So I can't even begin to explain my excitement about this, or even my excitement after I watched the second movie, that there was a third one on the way too. OMG. :D | ||

If they wanted to dodge the whole super natural ability / magic aspect of the villain since it never works as well in motion picture format than it does in comics why not just pick a villain better suited for the modern age Ironman to deal with. Oh well gotta wait to see if they actually do something interesting with it, I sure hope so. | ||

See the reason why mandarin was ironman's main villain from the beginning was that they had completely contrasting abilities and ideologies, ironman was all about technology and conquering problems with advanced weaponry and ingenuity, and mandarin was all about magic and the super natural. It was probably the only reason why he even worked as a villain. Same with how spiderman's villains were just a side show to what social / personal problems they would impose on peter parker. If they wanted to dodge the whole super natural ability / magic aspect of the villain since it never works as well in motion picture format than it does in comics why not just pick a villain better suited for the modern age Ironman to deal with. They won't dodge Mandarin's abilities. Marvel waited for Thor and Avengers to introduce magic and the supernatural into the their cinematic universe. The audience is generally comfortable with it now and make no mistake, Mandarin will have his ten rings of power and there will be pew pew. Marvel knows what they are doing and I have confidence, especially with Shane Black writing and directing, that this will be the best Iron Man yet. Phase 2 will be a lot of fun. | ||

Don't forget that the Mandarin's rings aren't actually 'magical' by nature. He finds them after discovering an ancient alien's spacecraft, and they were used as the powersource to fly the ship. He discovers their individual powers by training with them, but is basically technology based, just out of this world technology that is beyond the understanding of humans. He himself, believes that technology is the true means to which he can achieve his goals, and often, while using his rings, manipulates the latest technology to destroy things. So claiming that he's all magic and tony is all tech is technically wrong. Mandarin just uses his for personal gain to try to take over the world for all of the wrong that occured to him growing up, while Stark uses it for good, to protect those he feels deserves protecting. | ||

I also wouldn't be surprised if they incorporate the storyline of the Iron Man suit(s) becoming self aware. | ||
