When Iron Man... Now I just want to start by saying I liked this movie, and I am simply trying to explain how the MCU has lead to the Iron Man series inability to live up to the initial installment.

When Iron Man came out back in 08, one reason people connected with it so well was because, despite some superheroics, for the most part it was rather grounded. The superpowers in the films universe were high tech and the whole thing seemed like it could happen. S.H.I.E.L.D. was a bunch of guys in black suits, Tony had a long trial and error process with the suits, people reacted accordingly. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking that it was like they were trying to do what Nolan had done (at this point) with Batman Begins, but in a more fun adventurous way.

Now the franchize was in a position to inevitably have to connect with the likes of the magic universe of Thor and the giant green monster the Hulk, and this sense of realism would have be adjusted accordingly. One of the big things I noticed immediately with Iron Man 2, was not only how much it was setting up with cameos, but with tone. Things were much larger in scale and much more over the top, right from the beginning with the completely ridiculous in scale Stark Expo. Of coarse they had to change the dynamics of the world in order for us to believe that Thor could coexist with Iron Man, but it has been a bit detrimental to the series.

No longer is there a technopunk kind of vibe on the screen but rather just that of another flashy comic book movie. It has become more difficult to believe whats going on, hence it has become more difficult to as effectively connect with the hero. Anyway am I alone in this observation or has anyone else come to a similar conclusion as well? ]]> Iron Man 3 BenKenobi http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=458371 http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=458249&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 03:18:40 GMT This is a continuation thread, the old thread is 457215 This is a continuation thread, the old thread is Here ]]> Iron Man 3 Thread Manager http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=458249 http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=458201&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 01:22:44 GMT When will someone screencap the entire movie.

Ones that come to mind:

"Heroes. They do not exist."

"Do you want an empty life...or a meaningful death?"

"This is the last day of what's rest of your life."


Any others you can think of? This sort of stuff happens all the time where they cut stuff. I've noticed it countless times before but it's usually just that they go with different takes of lines. Never before have the lines that were cut seem so...prominent in the trailers. It'd be like having "You have my permission to die" never appear in TDKR after hearing ti over and over again in the trailers.

Thoughts? Almost makes you wonder if what they ended up doing with Mandarin was originally planned from the get go or not given how much serious, dark, and cool dialogue we heard from Mandarin in the early trailers. ]]> Iron Man 3 Spuzz http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=457595
