That Hulkbuster armor...how does one even stand in it? That does not look comfortable!
The space armor looks slick, though.

Feige already said that Mandarin has been operating behind the scenes since IM1. I suppose it's possible that it's really Killian that's the head of all this, but I put that possibility at around 1%. It would totally kill the Mandarin character to have that happen.

The Deep Space Armor is gorgeous. Guess we might be seeing Stark in Space soon, as some of us speculated before el whatever's "scoop". That Hulkbuster armor is too weirdly designed. How would a human being even wear it when the back is so bizarrely curved? Normal people can't hunch their backs like that. If the artist had drawn it upright it might look okay.

I agree that including him as the character in the comics would never happen because he is that racist caricature/stereotype and would never be allowable, and that this middle eastern tyrant (which we all know have been threats in modern day) is a better/safer way to go. But it's also hard to ignore that even though they never knew HOW that they were going to add him to live film, they have been setting out a map to include him for both IM 1 and 2. In regards to what I bolded: I don't think they're going to make him some sort of nit-whit who's mindlessly going about carrying out tasks for a higher up. I don't think Mandarin is going to be just a false image for Killian to hide behind in order to cast a shadow over his main plans. We'll have to see ultimately.. I can really see either side of the Mandarin - Killian relationship working out really well on film. Just enjoy chatting about the possibilities of each side. Don't want to come off as snotty or something haha ![]() Last edited by mkilban2; 02-22-2013 at 02:41 PM. |

So why can't Killian and Mandarin just be partners/associates again?

My guess is that Killian is a contractor for Mandarin--his science wing, possibly even one of the 10 rings in the organization.

when are two villainous people ever actually buddy-buddy? haha One is always essentially above the other or trying to best the other for his own personal gain.

The Deep Space armor will be my favorite suit if it's in the movie and looks like that.

I really hope we see Tony at least testing the Space Armor in film.

I'm wondering if we'll get the next trailer in March or April. Can't wait for this film!

What if the first thing we see in IM3 is Stark testing the Deep Space Armour...?

Where did I say they would be buddies? A mutual beneficial relationship does not equate to being friends. It's business. They have a common goal. It's not always evil mastermind and henchman.

Marvel is setting up the foil of the Mandarin to Tony perfectly. The Mandarin was originally created during a time where it was America vs. China, Capitalism vs. Communism, and the antagonism between Mandarin and Tony represented that. Tony was the embodiment of American ideals and capitalism, Mandarin was Chinese and Communism.
Now, Marvel is taking that and updating it for today's world. The Mandarin is a caricature of every type of third-world Orientalism, while Tony is a product of the first world western culture. This adaptation of the Mandarin works on so many different levels and is the perfect representation of the comics in spirit. It's genius. The Mandarin understands these cultures, and he's lived in them, which is why he can challenge Tony the way he does. Mandarin will not be some retard man-child that Killian takes advantage of. He will be a cunning, eccentric villain. The Mandarin will be using first world technology, Tony's own technology, against him. His rings will be based off of Extremis tech and he has one of his goons steal Iron Patriot for a terrorist attack. He is going to be a true terrorist. Goddamn Marvel.

hence why both Sam and I have our theories on one of the two being the bigger piece of the puzzle. |

Anyway, it doesn't make Mandarin "emasculated" to find out that he's not the head honcho after all. It just makes AIM that much more sinister and powerful. Quote:

Also on that note: I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that Raza had at least a rudimentary prototype of Extremis implanted inside him. In retrospect, it would explain the curious exchange in IM1 where Stane used a device to paralyze Raza, and Raza displayed those dark veins that seem to be associated with the Extremis virus.

What you're suggesting is the equivalent of making the Joker a puppet of the Mad Hatter. Possible, but in no way probable.

although the AIM point you bring up of them being a threat to deal with is also something I didn't really think about, they will be playing a pretty large role in phase 2 I assume so it could make sense that Killian could be bigger than Mandy. gosh I can't wait for this movie and next trailer haha |

After watching the trailer to this again, I can't help but hear the same whaling noise that was in The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer...
Am I the only one? Or late to the party? |
