The scenes that you want to see in Iron Man?

[Lone Wolf]

This thread is where we can discuss what particular scene we'd like to see in the film. I'm sure a lot of you have your own ideas, and I'd like to hear them. First, here are a few things that I can see working out perfectly....

1. Favreau mentioned there would be a lot of flight sequences when Stark ends up donning the suit, I'm hoping we get some good shot of his soaring over New York and let along Stark Tower itself. Even with the fight scenes(with who Jon chooses as the villain), the fight should be something that goes toward the New York skyline, and having him crash into various buildings.

2. A Stan Lee cameo must be in it, like all the other Marvel films that have been made. He can probably be one of the citizens that watch Iron Man fly by, and he says something in shock. If there's a scene like that of course.

3. I'd also like to see a bit of the "playboy" scenario. Being a ladies man is something the comics partially depicted him as, so I'd hope a lot of it is included in the film. Not to mention that I don't think Jon has a love interest in mind, though things can change. Either way, that part of the character should also be shown.

4. I want to see Stark really obessing over the armored suit. It's what he's worked for most of his life, to save his life for that matter. Perfecting it until it doesn't need any more perfection, even stressing on it. Along with the Stark Enterprise researchers fasinated with it's capabilities, though mostly Stark considering it's his top secret project. Because it's not Iron Man that makes him "Iron Man," it's Stark himself. He's a genius.

5. Also, a villain that could match wits with him in terms of intelligence and power. Though I have complete faith in whoever it is Favreau has in mind...

[Bullseye]

Villains for Iron Man... I can't think of any.

A Hulk vs. Iron Man scene would be nice but it won't happen.

[ampersand]

I want the suit to really look like a suit of high tech armor, not the skin tight look that many of the comic suits have. I don't want to see muscle through the suit. It should also be around 7-8 feet tall.

Also, I don't want to see anything stupid like it folding up into a briefcase or backpack or anything.

[ampersand]

Since when is Iron Man 8-feet tall???

I don't know if he ever has but thats how I'd like it.

[Marvel Dude]

I'd like to see Iron Man in a scene with War Machine. That would be cool.

[Lone Wolf]

Nice thread! :up:

:up:

- I want the sound efx to be awesome. When Iron Man powers up it should sound really cool.

Especially with the repulsor rays, along with when he uses the jets of the suit to go even faster. The effects of sound that those would make, should be really detailed on screen.

- I want to see Iron Man take out a small army with ease.

Probably an army of mechanical robots in which he uses to test how much power the suit can give him.

- A cool scene where he zooms across the sky faster than the sound of speed.

The flying squences should look very well on screen. I would want to see him soaring around New York, but a lot of that is something Spider-Man would do. With an armored suit like Iron Man has, she should be going around the world.


- A scene where Iron Man blocks an attack using an energy shield.

For which ever villain he faces, that should be a scene worth having. Considering we'll see all the things the suit can do, but the feature of what safety is implanted in it should be shown.

- A scene where Stark passes out from drinking alcohol in a very tragic way.

Favreau mentioned that his alcoholism isn't much of a factor in the first film. But he did however say that it could be explored more in a possible sequel.

- A birds eye view of Iron Man flying upward toward the camera.

There should be a lot of shots of him going in every direction.

- A Stark love scene for the ladies. Just enough romance to keep the females happy but Stark needs to be a pimp, not just charming.

Exactly. I don't think we'll see much of a love interest (thought we might), but the aspect of Stark being the ladies man that he is must be shown.

- A montage of the enemy is preparing to go to battle with Iron Man and him suiting up at the same time.

The suiting up scene should be a bit like that of the animated series and comics. Where it comes on to him from where his arms. legs, center, and head are. And then launches himself into the sky for whatever task is on his plate.

- Iron Man lifting something exremely big like a Humvee.

That would be great. We'd see just how much strength the suit gives him.

- Awide display of Iron Man's various weaponry and very quick and thoughtful use of them to counter-attack villians.

Now there's something that can work nicely. His suit contains weaponry such as, repulsor rays, pulse cannons, missile launching devices, lasers, tasers, the unibeam centered in his chest, even communicating and recording devices. If there will be scenes of him building the various types of suits, the audience themselves should know what they contain. Probably a Stark Enterprise scientist could explain them, or Stark himself.

Villains for Iron Man... I can't think of any.

Just to name a few....

Crimson Dynamo
Titanium Man
Madame Mask
Mandarin
Justin Hammer
Sunturion
Stane

A Hulk vs. Iron Man scene would be nice but it won't happen.

Would look great, if done right. But it's likely that it won't happen. Perhaps maybe a mentioning of another hero could work though...

I want the suit to really look like a suit of high tech armor, not the skin tight look that many of the comic suits have. I don't want to see muscle through the suit. It should also be around 7-8 feet tall.

Another thing Favreau stated was that we were going to see Tony first use the greay suit, and then find his way to the current more modern look. Perhaps we'll see him test out different models which include the "big bot" version, as opposed to the comics.

Since when is Iron Man 8-feet tall???

He isn't. Stark himself in 6'1", but when he's in the Iron Man suit it makes him taller. Around 6'6".

I'd like to see Iron Man in a scene with War Machine. That would be cool.

War Machine should first be introduced as Jim Rhodes, then possibly don the War Machine armor in a sequel.

[Iron Man™]

Damn, Batman great ideas. :eek: And being the Iron Man fan that I am, I had no idea he stood 6'6 in the suit....

Anyway, I want to see this scene.

My fave villain for the film if he's in it would be Justin Hammer. I want a scence where he's rivals with Stark Enterprises, and jealous of the fact that Tony kicks way more ass than he does. :o

[cage715]

I want to see a very specific scene from the comic books. I still have it infact from one of the original comics it shows stark in a flying craft and than he jumps out with a suit case with the armor inside. Before hitting the ground he manages to change into the armor and fly off to take care of some baddies. A really cool scene in the comic book that should be brought alive.

[blind_fury]

Also we should see Iron Man's point of view from his helmet. We should see what Iron Man sees. Data read outs, maps and positioning, and more.

[U.S War Machine]

I want to see him use this! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/Ironman07.gif/180px-Ironman07.gif

[Dark Phantom]

I want to see him use thishttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/Ironman07.gif/180px-Ironman07.gif

Hellz ya!

I think their should be this major weapon of some sort that threatens NYC. And only Iron Man can stop it. So he has to come along with the heavy artillary. Mainly that:up:

[rickprague]

Batman who started this thread has good ideas!

I want to see the weight of the suit in the flying scenes. It should be graceful, but not seem impossibly light, able to change direction mid-air at a moment's notice. We should get the impression that Tony is steering this suit through the air.

There are a handful of classic Iron Man poses that should be brought to life. A lot of the Granov covers are great inspiration, particularly for the main 'flying along in a straight line' pose. Granov is great at capturing emotion and character in his poses, something to pay attention to when your main character's face is not visible.

Speaking of which, I think the best way to show emotion when the suit is on is NOT through Spider-Man-style Power Ranger physical acting. The Spider-Man films fail miserably when you see Spidey ridiculously overemphasise every single movement just because you can't see his face. In Iron Man we can see his face. Just shoot footage of the actor 'inside the suit' whereby we can see various computer readouts reflected on his face. OK so technically there wouldn't be room for the camera inside the helmet of course, but this is a movie...

And we should definitely get an Iron Man POV shot, with all the HUD flashing up, sort of like Robocop's POV but, well, less 1980's...

I want someone to refer to him as Shellhead, just once!

We should get to see Tony working on the suit himself, tinkering with the mechanics. He is a genius after all, so let's see that. Maybe we can see some stuff not work properly in the first version of the suit, so he goes back to the drawing board to perfect them...

Maybe he's not exactly the world's greatest pilot for the first time he puts the suit on? Maybe he's actually pretty crap, and flies dangerously out of control, a bit all over the place? Could provide a few laughs...

As a total geek I want to see in exact detail how the suit fits onto Tony. I want to see it in all its fetishistic glory, sliding and clunking together. It has to be able to work physically. I've always thought the suits in the recent CG Appleseed movie were so much fun to watch, and I'm so happy to read that Favs is watching that for reference!

[Radford]

scenes i want to see:

- the war flashback, Stark taking a piece of flying shrapnel to the chest
- scenes establishing his larger than life status with Stark Industries, etc (maybe some boardroom scenes/technology designing scenes/etc)
- experimenting with 'failed suits'
- the armory, as in many of the comic covers, a room with all different iron
man armors in the background
- lots of flight, some over ocean, over cityscape, over desert maybe, gotta show how fast he is and how far he can go in a short time
- picking up things like tanks, gigantic steel girders, etc
- hints of alcoholism, being a playboy, etc
- lots of artillery being used against him (possibly at first, hes mistaken as a threat, or something along those lines)
- scenes of him and the villain crashing through buildings/bridges/mountain/into the sea/etc

theres so many more, but i think you get the idea. :up:

[AlteredEgo]

i want to see iron man be a social satire in which tony stark is an up and coming air-guitarist whose only chance of beating the odds is over-coming his fear of commitment. :(

Before hitting the ground he manages to change into the armor and fly off to take care of some baddies. A really cool scene in the comic book that should be brought alive.

I made a thread about a scene like that. If Favreau does infact include it, I'm sure he'd do a magnificent job. He already knows where the character is from, and what he's about. Let alone already having everything for the film well in tact. It'd be very sleek looking on screen, and add to the "American James Bond" scenario greatly. Here is the issue. (http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=33027&zoom=4)

Also we should see Iron Man's point of view from his helmet. We should see what Iron Man sees. Data read outs, maps and positioning, and more.

There was a panel in New Avengers in which he's talking with Jessica Drew, and we see all the things that he sees when the helmet is on. It'd be nice if it actually happens. Aside from all the things you've listed which should be shown, villain statistics would be another. Say if he's out testing the suit and runs into something that grabs his attention, he can already read his oppenents weak points and strength levels.

I want to see him use this! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/Ironman07.gif/180px-Ironman07.gif

I'd imagine he'd first test it out in Stark Labs while developing the suit. Also showing some of the other Stark Enterprise weapon designs.

Granov is great at capturing emotion and character in his poses, something to pay attention to when your main character's face is not visible.

I want to see him doing all kinds of different poses when first flying in the suit. Testing it's full movements, and how far it can go whenever he is/isn't in danger. But there should be one particular pose he takes on, which enables people to then call him "Shellhead." The "flying along the straight line" pose would be the ideal. As well as him keeping his arms back if ever in full throttle while in the sky.

- lots of flight, some over ocean, over cityscape, over desert maybe, gotta show how fast he is and how far he can go in a short time

Favreau did mention that with a suit like that, Iron Man goes around the world....

[Sasquatch]

I would like to see many many whores.

[U.S War Machine]

[Lone Wolf]

Well what about the Uni Beam!?http://moortala.tripod.com/images/ironman-chestbeam.gif

The image isn't appearing. However either way, I'd like to see the Uni Beam as well.

[chiefchirpa]

3 Words:

Uni Beam Unleashed.

Maybe in the final scene in the fight, while palm repulsor and guided mini-missiles are used many time.

[U.S War Machine]

The image isn't appearing. However either way, I'd like to see the Uni Beam as well.Who said it had to be appearing

[Sasquatch]

What about the Dual or Tri Beams?

[psycho]

I think it could be cool if he had a small staff, maybe 5 or 6 people at most, that know he is Iron Man and operate as his tech support.

[ampersand]

I like the "tech support" people idea, but I think his identity should be public.

[3dman27]

i 'd like a scene where shellhead faces his foes and says
"man i'm gonna NEED this armor"
and ampersand i ratherim be tonys SECRET ID

[Lone Wolf]

I like the "tech support" people idea, but I think his identity should be public.

Favreau actually already confirmed that Iron Man will be Stark's secret identity, when asked if it was going to be public.

Eh... Oh, well...

Is Iron Man going to be Tony Stark's bodyguard as well?

[Sasquatch]

It would be nice if Iron Man were a low brow critic of Stark... though all would probably know that the tec for the suit came from Stark.

Throw in Curious George and you have one for the ages.

[Drakon]

I'd like a First Person shot from inside the helm.

[Sasquatch]

You know we'll get that. We have to.

[Drakon]

I'm sure of it. But I still want it.

[Sasquatch]

That'll be awesome to see the readouts, displays, Pac-Man running across the screen...

[Iron Man™]

Ignore the dialouge in the page, but I want to see a scene like this. :cool:

http://www.capvsbats.com/Parodies/IronMan2/im-02-01cvsb.jpg

[Iron Man™]

There was a picture I once saw of Tony having parts of the suit on table talking to himself. It's really old, but does anyone have it?

[eXperiment]

I just want him to kick some major a**

[Iron Man™]

LOL, we all do. :D

[Syncos]

Hrm. I know it probably wont make it into the movie, but i'd like to see something similar to in the Ultimate Avengers animated movie, There's an army pointing weapons at Iron man, and he deactivates them and starts to fly away and he's like "looks like stark sold you shoddy merchandise" or something. I think it'd be neat.

[Roaring_Hulk!]

I want to see a glimpse of te hulkbuster-armor.

Although it may be better for part 2, you know. in the first movie we get the origin and early days of Iron man, i guess. Maybe the second movie takes place a few years after the first, and in those years, tony has created more varied suits for more varied situations.

[Lone Wolf]

I doubt we'll see the Hulkbuster armor. Only because Favreau mentioned that he was having Iron Man revolve around "the real world" rather than "the Marvel Universe," when asked if there would be a mentioning of any other heroe(s) in the film.

[Kmack]

I want to see Tony falling through the sky (dropped out of a flying plane maybe?) while trying to hurry and put his suit on before he falls to his death. I think that would be pretty climatic.

[kedrell]

I'd like to see just how invulnerable(the armor) makes him without the added protection of energy shields and what not.

[Lone Wolf]

I want to see Tony falling through the sky (dropped out of a flying plane maybe?) while trying to hurry and put his suit on before he falls to his death. I think that would be pretty climatic.

That scene is a popular choice isn't it? If done right, it would make a gracious one. I see it working if and when he dons the more modernized armor, and it should be a private jet like in the original comic.

[ampersand]

I'd rather him not be capable of putting the armor on by himself, not to mention while falling. The Ultimate route with a tech team is how I think it should work.

[Lone Wolf]

The way he was able to put on the armor while falling, was due to the fact that it was nothing like the armor he has today. I think the tech team should be used when he's putting on the suit for the first time.

[kedrell]

I'd also like to see him in a dog fight with a jet(or even better...jets) since one of the things his armor does is make him kind of a one man airforce. I think it'd be cool for him to dodge an incoming missile with a lateral roll, while in the meantime prepping a half dozen micro-missles and as soon as the roll is over he lets loose a can-o-whoopass! It would help show the versatility and maneuverability of the armor.

[Lone Wolf]

Agreed. I'd really like to see how the suit functions itself whenever Stark is manuvering in it. Favreau mentioned there would be a few minor "hiccups" along the way. As for the flight scenes, I'm not worried at all. He mentioned there'd be plenty, so hopefully we'll see something like you've described.

But the comment I'm looking forward to, was when Favreau mentioned that Iron Man goes around the world with having an armored suit like that.

[kedrell]

Or space. Hell, Stark's company probably has many satellites in orbit. Having that suit probably saves him a fortune since he can just fly up and repair them himself rather than pay NASA to do it like every other company.

[TheBlueWolf]

How about a scene where Stark is testing out the Suit...flying around, and all of a sudden, there is a power spike or something, and he looses control of the suit, and it just plows right through a building or two down towards the street, like maybe Time Square...with HEAVY vehicle and pedestrian traffic...and he ends up KILLING an innocent civilian...which pushes him over the edge to take up the bottle!!! Or a scene where he is fighting some bad guy, but in advertantly causes the death of a CHILD...or PREGO chick...something like that...which makes him want the bottle!!! Or a scene where he gets into his suit while he is DRUNK and gets his butt completely handed to him by a super villain like DYNAMO or someone of equal strength...

I also want to see some scenes where IRON MAN goes under water...and into SPACE.

A cool scene would be to have a laser or something shoot right through Iron Man...piercing his armor...maybe in the shoulder region...something really FREAKIN powerful to make you go HOLY ****, that laser cannon shot right through IRON MAN!!!

And for some reason, i want to see someone take a sledge hammer to Iron Man's head...just to show how strong his armor is from crushing damage.

Gotta see the UNIBEAM!!!

[kedrell]

I am also very interested in how Jon is going to set up the "revealing of the hero to the world" scene that every superhero movie has. The movies that I thought did the best job at this traditional part of superhero lore would be "Superman: The Movie" and "Batman Begins".

[Red X]

I want something that implies his alcoholism

[kedrell]

I want something that implies his alcoholism

Oh, I'm sure we'll see him take a drink or two.

[EnSabahNur]

I want to see him get the crap beat out of him by his enemy(s).

[Gambit_Fan]

i would love to see this as a scene

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/Sedgwick29/IronMan12.jpg

but as its gona b an origin film i really doubt it

Especially since each of those suits costs like what, 10 billion dollars?:eek:

[Gambit_Fan]

isnt that still like pocket money to him tho

[Lone Wolf]

Or space. Hell, Stark's company probably has many satellites in orbit. Having that suit probably saves him a fortune since he can just fly up and repair them himself rather than pay NASA to do it like every other company.

I doubt there would be a space scene involved in the film. But if there is, I'd imagine that it would be to test out the suits durability in that sort of atmosphere.

After is when he'd have to come back down to Earth but the suit does something along the lines of this as he's trying to begin landing:

http://i4.tinypic.com/16bk3n5.jpg (http://tinypic.com/)

I want something that implies his alcoholism

I hope they atleast foreshadow it to show that he does have a problem. One or two drinks at the most. Then it comes back as one of the main factors in the sequel.

[Overman]

well i want to see something like spider-man 1 in the end when Parker fights with half suit, i want whoever the bad guy is to break his armor in some places like the half of the mask one of the arms...

[The IronMan]

I would like to see him suiting up like he did in the 80's Chest piece on. gloves .the arm gets covered .then boots .legs get covered.it probably wont happen just some i personally would like to see

[Lone Wolf]

well i want to see something like spider-man 1 in the end when Parker fights with half suit, i want whoever the bad guy is to break his armor in some places like the half of the mask one of the arms...

Whoever the villain Favreau has in mind, I hope the fight scenes in the film are really climatic. Especially considering if the villain has the ablility to fly (like Crymson Dynamo), Iron Man and him square off in the sky. Knocking eachother in all sorts of directions, even if possible, being smashed through any buildings surrounding them.

I have faith in who he'll choose, already he's taken the character and the film in the right direction.

[Kvott]

If you want to make a good superhero movie, you gotta have good fights. With that said, here is how I'd like the Iron Man movie to go. And btw, I'm a true Iron Man fan, even though some of the suggestions I make are going to deviate from the comic book.

1. From the onset, the Iron Man armor should be red and gold. The original armor never looked that good, and since we are in the high-tech environment, this is the way to go. Besides, old iron man was clunky.

2. Iron man's main villian, IMO, should be some other suit of armor or mechanized threat. I'm thinking Ultimo. Yes, Ultimo...or maybe Crimson Dynamo. In either case, you're allowing Iron Man to use his powers at full throttle. Plus, Ultimo nearly killed Iron Man as I recall (cracked his suit all up, gave him a heart attack, etc).

3. The plot should be fairly simple and also an origin. Tony Stark is a dying man. Brillian Inventor, but dying. The reason he is dying is subjective. In the comic books, he was hit by shrapnel from a grenade, causing him to use the suit also as a form of life support. I think this is a great idea to continue.

Have Ultimo or Crimson Dynamo attempt to destroy one of his labs, and give-him a near-fatal injury. This ignites his attempt to save his own life with the Iron Man armor, and creates the Iron Man.

4. Alchoholism: Yes, add it. However, don't emphasize it in the first movie. Just put aspects of it there. With an origin in the works, you can't throw too many angles in there or it will get muddled.

5. Special Effects/Battles: Just make one thing clear, don't make a 2 1/2 hour movie with one and a half hour of no Iron Man. Get Iron Man in there in the first 30 minutes. Fighting, Repulsors Rays, The Chest Beam, Jet Boots, this is what we want, plus other gadgets.

6. War Machine: It would be possible to put War Machine in there, just make sure that it works with the rest of the movie. War Machine would be great, though, as part of the sequel.


The Mandarin is often the 1st true choice of villians for Iron Man, but I'd request that we pass him up. He's a product of more mystical things, his 10 rings of power, Fin Fang Foom (sp?), etc. Whiplash is nice, The Unicorn is nice, but let's be frank...You want Iron Man to have an all out battle and do some destruction.

What do you think?

[3dman27]

sounds reasonable to me

[Trolt]

Hmm i actually perfer ironman against NON-tech/mech villans (though this is unlikely).

I like how it sorts represents how mankind can overcome superpowered enemies powered by gamma radiation, thundergods, radioactive spiders by using his intelligence and preparation in making an armour.

Then again a dr.strange movie would be magic vs magic..so unfortunately iron man woudl most likely end up tech agaisnt tech.

[Lone Wolf]

1. From the onset, the Iron Man armor should be red and gold. The original armor never looked that good, and since we are in the high-tech environment, this is the way to go. Besides, old iron man was clunky.

Favreau already confirmed that the original gray suit will be in the film. Then through it's progression, it'll work it's way up to a more "modernized" look. Also, we can expect the classic red and gold.


2. Iron man's main villian, IMO, should be some other suit of armor or mechanized threat. I'm thinking Ultimo. Yes, Ultimo...or maybe Crimson Dynamo. In either case, you're allowing Iron Man to use his powers at full throttle. Plus, Ultimo nearly killed Iron Man as I recall (cracked his suit all up, gave him a heart attack, etc).

Don't forget that Ultimo was controlled by Mandarin. As much as I'd like to see him as well, in my opinion, if he is then Mandarin should be included. I see it being the type of storyline where Ultimo is sent to kill and destroy Iron Man. With Mandarin pulling the strings as well as being the real threat of the film.

As for as who the villain in the first will be, I have faith in who Favreau has in mind. I'm personally hoping we'll get Crimson Dynamo. Wishful thinking is also having Justin Hammer appear as Stark's industrialist rival. And who also adapts the "Dynamo" project in hopes to go toe to toe with Iron Man.

There could be a lot of good quality arial fight sequences.

3. The plot should be fairly simple and also an origin. Tony Stark is a dying man. Brillian Inventor, but dying. The reason he is dying is subjective. In the comic books, he was hit by shrapnel from a grenade, causing him to use the suit also as a form of life support. I think this is a great idea to continue.

Life support was already mentioned by Favreau as the soul purpose of the armor. After Stark visits Afghanistan.

4. Alchoholism: Yes, add it. However, don't emphasize it in the first movie. Just put aspects of it there. With an origin in the works, you can't throw too many angles in there or it will get muddled.

I hope they atleast foreshadow the alchohol. Just enough to show that he does have a problem, only to be explored more in a possible sequel. One drink at the most, with him asking for more. Or two if be. The alchoholism didn't come until much later in his life. That dilema should be taken the same way in the character's film version.

5. Special Effects/Battles: Just make one thing clear, don't make a 2 1/2 hour movie with one and a half hour of no Iron Man. Get Iron Man in there in the first 30 minutes. Fighting, Repulsors Rays, The Chest Beam, Jet Boots, this is what we want, plus other gadgets.

Favreau also mentioned that the uni beam is a big part of the script. As well as there being plenty of flying. I'd imagine the same goes for all the other features of the armor, with a few malfunctions along the way.

6. War Machine: It would be possible to put War Machine in there, just make sure that it works with the rest of the movie. War Machine would be great, though, as part of the sequel.

Jim Rhodes in the first. War Machine in the second.

What do you think?

You have brilliant ideas.

They've got to use this scene in the movie, with Tony having a drink in his hand, foreshadowing what's to come.

and a scene with Stan Lee is also a must have:up:

I can see a scene like this working out well. Even if he is in or out of the armor while doing so. Probably even looking outside of a window while having the drink in hand. They really should foreshadow the alcoholism. Just enough to drop vague hints about a potential sequel storyline.

People at Favreau's group proposed the idea of having War Machine in the sequel. If there is one. Also coming up with titles such as Iron Man 2: War Machine. Even Favreau himself said it was a possibility to have Rhodes don the armor, while Stark probably deals with his alcohol problem.

I personally wouldn't mind in the first film seeing the War Machine armor next to some other prototypes. Or, for a tease at the ending, Stark or perhaps one of his associates says there developing something new. The War Machine project.

Either way you look at it, atleast he'll be in the first film as Jim Rhodes.

Favreau mentioned before that he loved the past Extremis arc. As well as it's take on how Stark was hit with the shrapnel. This quote really should be in the film. Not exactly like it of course, but something along the lines of. It really just shows how his life lay in the balance.

"That landmine put shrapnel two centimeters from my heart. My every movement allowed it to inch closer. I had to design a system to hold that shrapnel where it was. And incorporate it into a self-defense solution to get me out of captivity. It was the first time I'd had to design something that saved lives. It was a stopgap at best, I got home and put my money into a suit that'd keep me alive. I spent years in various versions of the breastplate, holding the shrapnel in magnetic fields. Until medical science caught up with me, and I could get the damn thing out. But I kept the suit. Kept tinkering with it. And I'm not sure anymore. Except that it wasn't about the future, but my future. And it allowed me to pretend that I wasn't a man who made landmines. I went from being a man trapped in an iron suit to being a man freed by it."

That could actually work. Even though if that ever does happen, we should still be able to see the playboy side of Stark. IMO, if they were to choose that direction, she would have to be somewhat of a femme fatale. Like Madame Masque for instance.

Stark could meet her first as Whitney Frost. But doesn't learn of her connections to a secret Mafia group, known as the Maggia, until the story progresses. And later finds out of her other identity.

^I like it.

[Ironman24]

Jon mentioned that there are going to be three armors, the Gray armor, like above^, very nice. A Red and Gold flyer, most likely a classic look and the final would be a weapons platform, which if I'm not mistaken, War Machine is a weapons platform, maybe Mr. Favreau gave away a little by saying that.

[Wige247]

I want to see Stark as the head of a weapons company that's being sabotaged by a rival who uses soldiers wearing an experimental line of exoskeletons that are strong but not as strong as Iron Man will be.

Stark's rushes a proto-type Iron Man suit (gray) and beats the exo-soldiers (some ground support, some aerial), but then comes up against the next-gen suits, which is like the Robocop vs. that big robot in Robocop 1.

Stark gets his ass kicked, left for dead, James Rhodes comes and brings him back home, where Stark upgrades to the final red-and-gold, and lays the smack down.

Or, the grey suit is a prototype that is being shopped around, and that's why he's sabotaged by a rival, which leads him to unveil his red-n-gold, and later the weapons platform to beat up some gigantic mech.

That would be a movie that would show off everything Iron Man has to offer

[Lone Wolf]

What do you all think of a crash scene for the film? For instance how there was in "The Aviator". Stark is often compared to be a cross Howard Hughes and James Bond. If there ever was a crash scene, it shouldn't be exactly like the one in Aviator, but something to that effect.

Favreau mentioned before that Stark would be going through a few problems with the armor. That there will be parts in the film where we'll see him "tinkering" with it here and there. After all, it can't all be perfect. But if a crash scene were ever to occur, it would only influence him to keep rebuilding the armor. Until eventually having him think he's reached that perfection.

This could also happen when he's testing out a few prototypes. Then the introduction of the red and gold armor comes along.

[3dman27]

sounds logical

[MaskedManJRK]

I'm not sure if the quote would fit right in the movie--it is an origin movie, after all, and that monologue is far ahead of that--but I hope they use the Extremis origin, damn near to the T.

That's probably the best origin he's ever gotten--it shows his brains, his determination, and the development from smart-guy weapons designer to a fighter himself. I want to see him make his gray armor out of s**t that shouldn't work right that terrorists probably scounged up in battle-scarred cities and using it to take them out and escape. I also want to see the doctor that helps him like the story, I found him to be pretty humorous, espicially in the beginning when he tells Stark that he'll probably die soon, but he "is like John Wayne's old cowboy boots and will never die." :woot:

Also, a good way to hint his potential alcoholism in the first movie is a line I remember from the second volume of the first Ultimates series. Before they all go take on the aliens, we see Tony and Black Widow (who could be replaced by some female love interest or even Jarvis or Rhodes) as Tony's tech people are prepping the suit. Tony's having a few drinks and BW asks him if he should before he goes into the suit. Tony looks at her and says (paraphasing here, because it's been a while since I read it), "Are you serious? To step into that thing, you HAVE to be a bit sauced."

Something to that effect of the quote would be nice. Hence why I said before something along the lines of. The quote itself shows how much the suit means to him. And Favreau mentioned before that he liked the Extremis' interpretation of the origin. How the armor is the only thing keeping him alive. Testing his vulnerability.

Agreed. The gray suit was confirmed to be in the film, of course, along with Stark moving on to the red and gold armor, and then eventually moving to a more War Machine type suit. Favreau already has a good sense and direction of taking the film in the right direction. So far, everything he's said about Stark's characterization in the comics, the alcoholism, to the birth of constantly tinkering with the armor, working to improve it step by step, has been on a positive. I'm sure he'll handle the origin well with with the shrapnel, Yin Sen helping Stark build the armor, Stark finding Rhodes with both men escaping, and Stark wanting to make the armor even better.

Yeah. The alcohol in some way should be atleast foreshadowed. Like the way you described it from Ultimates. Who, by the way, I can see Stark talking to either Pepper or Joanna Nivena. If not, Rhodes or Jarvis. One or two drinks at the most. Dropping vague hints that he does indeed have a problem. I liked how Favreau understood that Stark's alcohol problem wasn't until later in his life. That he wanted the audience to get a good grasp of who Stark is first. To also explore the alcoholism in a possible sequel.

[Warhammer]

I want to see these:

- (Probably be in Iron Man 2, if there is one) Tony Stark walking into a room full of different Iron Man suits.
- Tony Stark putting the hammer down on his armor.
- Iron Man's flying out of out his laboratory/landing pad. (Kinda like what Iron Man did on one episode of Spider-Man: TAS)
- Iron Man using his repulsor beams "Doc Strange style".

[deathshead2]

I would like to see Tony falling out of a heilcopter and while falling he is tring to put on the armor and as he falls he keeps speeding up so fast the cam can't catch up the next shot is of the ground and then you see the briefcase hit the ground and IM just floating there inces away from the ground. Then blast offf he rockets into the air.

[kedrell]

Tony Stark putting the hammer down on his armor.

Well, considering that a hammer is a very low tech tool, the only place where it might not seem silly is with his very 1st armor he uses to escape from the terrorists. Everything after that would seem really out of place to be using a hammer on something that runs on nano-technology.

[ZeroCorpse]

I would love to see Tony beating some really minor third-string villain, and then mugging for the cameras and being a real smug butthead about it.

You know- Throw Paste-Pot Pete, Red Ghost and his Super Apes, or Unicorn into the movie early on, and let them get trounced, giving Iron Man a false sense of his own power.

[terry78]

A la the Capcom Marvel fighting games, have him say the phrase "superior tech!" at least once when beating someone. :D

[Hypestyle]

hmm.. I'd like to see great feats of strength, like lifting a nuclear reactor core or something..

oh, and some kind of James Bond-gunsight-type opening.. instead of a pistol, Tony reveals a gauntlet that blasts his onlooker with a repulsor ray.. heh-heh-heh-heh...

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I would like to see in the middle of a battle abpve the clouds the Iron Man suit malfunctioning and loosing power, so Iron Man/Stark starts tumbling toward earth at a really fast pace, trying everything to get the power back on, then just as he is about to hit the floor, the power comes back and the jet boosters kick in. Would be a really tesne and awesome scene IMO.

I do like this, although I doubt he'll have repulsors in his very first armor. More likely a regular type of gun built into the armor or he may just pick up one of the terrorists guns.

Reminiscent to the scene in the Iron Man #118.
Both of those suits being in the movie would be awesome.
Well the gray armor has already been confirmed to be part of the origin. Described by Favreau as a "clunky" and "low-tech" type of armor. Then afterward is where we see Stark working to improve the armor, later adapting the red and gold color scheme. And later the "weapons platform" armor.

Yeah. Favreau already hinted more than once at the possibility of Rhodes as War Machine. Of course, for a sequel. And having the alcoholism introduced as well for Stark. Hinting the possibility of War Machine at the end of the first would be a decent touch. Or, a scene with Stark and Rhodes walking through different types of armors, and Rhodes eventually having a fascination with the War Machine armor.

I'm pretty sure the first armor(grey one) he built in captivity didn't fly. He basically had to walk back to friendly areas during which he first met Rhodes and his busted helicopter. I wonder how close they'll stick to that concept.

I believe that the original armor allowed him to jump a lot higher. In Tales of Suspense # 39, "Iron Man is Born!", page nine, he refers to the "transistor-powered (sic) air jets" and then uses them to "soar into the air".

And then...there's the hard evidence. Tales of Suspense #40. Tony is still in the gray armor, and Iron Man once more uses transistor-powered air jets to soar upward and thinks, "Now to land right smack in the middle of the other cats!" It sounds like controlled flight (albeit clunky) not just jumping. Then issue's villain, Gargantus, then hypnotizes the whole town, and Iron Man thinks that he must find Gargantus somewhere in the crowd. He raises his arms and there is a Whoooosh sound effect as he takes off. When he flies, local police officers who are under Gargantus' spell shoot at him. (This is also the same issue where Tony paints the armor gold).

There's also Tales of Suspense #41. Iron Man once more soars, and uses magnets in his hands to juggle cars while poised in mid air. Later in the issue, the villain named Dr. Strange, hypnotizes Iron Man into releasing him from prison and the two soar away on Iron Man's air jets. In fact, Dr. Strange says "We've flown far enough, Iron Man! Land at once!"

In the original Tales of Suspense run, which should be the definitive origin story, shows Iron Man in the early stages of flight with the gray armor. Did he fly? By the strict definition of flight: Yes. Was it the easy flying around that you see today with Iron Man: No.
