The IRON MAN 3 News & Speculation Thread - Part 5

[Wolvieboy17]

Well it can, because if this armour is like the Extremis armour, he can assemble and summon it all on his body at will. That would potentially be very difficult with a giant, cumbersome jetpack (which IS the downside of the Jetpack). It could simply get in the way.

ugh. IMDB all over again.

Also, how about you not be a baby and reisgn yourself to the fact that sometimes people aren't going to agree with things you say. Doesn't make you wrong or the other people wrong, it's just a disagreement. But asserting that there is something wrong with the whole site just reveals your own narrow mindedness.

I mean, I may feel the way I feel but I also accept that we're arguing over something that is not only speculative without hard evidence, but is also an entirely FICTIONAL character.

If you get butt hurt over that to the point where you feel the need to be a dick about it, then I'm afraid the problem is with you, not the forum.

im just trying to get people to acknowledge that there is no reason not to have the jet pack.

no one said what you just did, about it not working with extremis, which needs to perhaps be as streamlined as possible given the way it works. people were simply saying that the jet pack wasn't a big deal, which is fine, but it ignored my points on why not include it.

in my original post i acknowledged the possibility that there is a storyline justification for it not being there, but no one ran with that idea. they just came back and said that it wasn't a big deal. which i tried to rebut.

[TheVileOne]

LOL, who cares. It's just a design addition/subtraction.

I thought it was a neat variation on his latest armor design in Avengers. Doesn't mean every design has to have it.

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I mean the suitcase Armor was inferior to the Mk 3, doesn't take anything away from it as a suit though. It has a use based on certain contexts and I'm sure it will be the same here.

Word on the boxoffice.com forums is that a rough cut of the film will be screened at Disney/Marvel on January 24th. We may get some rumors about its content and reactions after that. I can't wait!

mark 2 to mark 7 were all upgrades, with the exception of 5 which was used for emergencies. is this new armor more like a mark 5 than a mark 6 or 7? not in my opinion, no, it is meant to be a new, proper armor.

so add a damn jet pack, there is zero reason not to. it'd be like the new armor not having any missiles because another armor has one. what if he needs missiles all of a sudden? a futurist would make his armor have all the bells and whistles of the preceding model, plus upgrades.

his Extremis armor can be better in every way possible and not have a jet pack and you still won't be happy. what if he found a way to fly and shoot but not have bulky armor? yeesh....just wait for the movie..we have yet to see what this new armor can do.

the jet pack itself has no down side, so why not include it? how can anyone not see the logic here?

as for his other weapons, he eventually runs out of ammo in his missiles etc not in his hands. his hand repulsors are limitless (they run on the power of the suit itself) so it makes a whole lot of sense for him to want to be able to use them whilst flying.

ugh. IMDB all over again.

has no downside? it makes him bulkier.....

You would be wrong.

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

man I can't wait till this movie gets here. Frigin stoked

[kaijunexus]

Something just occurred to me...

If we are indeed seeing Tony utilize the Extremis virus in IM3, and he could therefore control his suits with with his mind alone...he won't need to bring Jarvis along with his armors anymore.

Will Jarvis now be relegated to nothing more than house duties from now on? Seems kind of sad...

[Brian Braddock]

Unless Jarvis' programming then has something to do with the creation of the Vision..........

It's too bad Paul Bettany would never sign on to play Vision.

Depends on if Stark wants to keep the virus. I'd be willing to bet the general consensus is that, by the end of the movie, Extremis won't be worth the risk and he'll 86 the virus and go back to tried-and-true JARVIS-driven suits.

[TheVileOne]

I don't know I think he'd still use Jarvis for stuff.

Keep in mind, Jarvis seems to have the ability to assemble and paint his armors as well or directs all that.

[SpideyFan866]

i wouldn't be shocked if in the film, J.A.R.V.I.S. is compromised.
It would make sense considering the way the armors are blown up.
They look like they've been programmed to self-destruct rather than being blown up by a missile hitting the mansion.

And J.A.R.V.I.S. is the only one capable of programming them to do so outside of Stark himself.

this would also make sense as every armor except the one controlled by tony's mind gets blown up.

[Repulsor Blast]

I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Tony.

[HighFivingMF]

"Remember when you urinated into your suit?"

*Opens Tony's mask and crashes him into sewage treatment plant*

[ThePowerCosmic]

Lol!! ^ Then after the raw sewage water's in the suit, Jarvis can lock down the faceplate and swish it around in there with Stark.

I believe the jetpack allows him to fly and fire repulsors at the same time. I say this because I dont ever remember him flying and using his repulsors in 1 or 2 and also he has said while in flight they are flight stabilizers

When he destroyed his Missiles in IM1 he was airborne

According to Navigate Hollywood, “Caged”, which we know is the working title for Iron Man 3, will be filming additional scenes in Hollywood on Monday, January 21, overnight.

The shoot will cause street closures on Hollywood Blvd., between Highland Ave. and Orange Dr. Highland Ave. and McCadden Pl., will also be closed on Monday, January 21, 2013 7:00 p.m. – Tuesday, January 22, 2013 4:00 a.m.

The filming may include re-shoots at TCL Chinese Theater (formerly Grauman’s Chinese Theater), located at Hollywood Blvd and Orange Dr. If you remember, last summer the movie recreated a similar theater at National Gypsum in Wilmington, N.C.
