Hey all you Iron-Heads!
I have been checking out that MTV video with Downey and Favreau. I have been pausing the video and noticed some nice small details that are pretty cool. The best one is on the top of the helmet. it has a air intake! (Kinda jet-like)
I thought i saw it on the first released photo
of the suit a while back, but wasn't sure. Now after seeing the video you can clearly see it. It is little details like this that help ground the suit in reality while
still looking totally bad@$%&@! Can anyone convert this to quicktime
as it is much easier to freeze frame what i'm talking about. Check it out!

Air intake would also keep the actor in the suit from suffocating since, unlike in the comics, I doubt that suit really has a working micro air conditioning unit on it.
 
Yeah doubtful. :)

If you look closely, Stan Winston's team did a great job putting vents and screen work all over the suit in order to keep the actor cool. I found several places where it probably lets in air. I am an industrial designer and work
on ergonomic issues all the time. That suit looks pretty ergonomically
sound, actually. Again, Stan Winston does awesome work!
