Iron Man 2 Possible ARG/Viral Campaign

[Aesop Rocks]

Woodstock.

 

[I Am The Bat]

Is that Stark and Vanko there?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Looks like it. Looks like Howard Stark.

 

[I Am The Bat]

Looks like it. Looks like Howard Stark.

Ok... I'm totally going to go all Beautiful mind all over this... Aren't I? lol

 

[Dr Lee]

Is that Stark and Vanko there?

Can't see anything in that picture....

Just had a form where I put in my name. I thought it would be a collective thing where more and more people had to sign up to launch the trailer, but to my surprise the countdown started as soon as i pushed submit.

Judging from that info, it could be the kind of game where there's an actual winner at the end. And then the SHH! admin would finally get something cool for his troubles.

 

[crimsonspider89]

Sorry, the website has been launched. Talked about a new trailer released today.

starksecretconfessionrevealed.com I believe.

 

[I Am The Bat]

I think the No No - Don't shut Bruce up would work here, but I wasn't around to witness it to know what it was suppose to mean...

A few things i noticed from the trailer

1) 3 of the 4 newspaper clippings used in the viral are noticeable on whiplashes wall. the one with the girl jumping is not there.

2) the numbers 6 and 9 are tattooed on whiplashes hand. so that is probably the year that the stark family did whatever it did to him

3) the blueprints have the word reactor on them so Vanko most likely helped Howard build it and then Howard took all the credit

4) the shot of the warmachine suit being made is being overseen by military personnel. Perhaps Rhodey steals the plans?

5) near the end he is clearly being chased and shot at by Rhodey

6) the "robots" they shoot at all have arc reactors on their chests

It looks like Rhodey steals the Mach I suit and updates it and Whiplash gives Hammer the arc reactor design and he builds it and then builds an army of robots. WM is not shooting at Iron Man but the robots. Watch it again, there is more than one.

Good eye.
2) the numbers 6 and 9 are tattooed on whiplashes hand. so that is probably the year that the stark family did whatever it did to him

Again, Good eye. On one of the pictures "1969" circled.

3) the blueprints have the word reactor on them so Vanko most likely helped Howard build it and then Howard took all the credit
Possible.
4) the shot of the warmachine suit being made is being overseen by military personnel. Perhaps Rhodey steals the plans?
Doubtful- Rumor has it (my rumor at least), Rhodes talks to Hammer and Hammer talks to Black Widow. Who steals it.
5) near the end he is clearly being chased and shot at by Rhodey
Yeah, that is clear. But the reason remains unknown.
6) the "robots" they shoot at all have arc reactors on their chests

It looks like Rhodey steals the Mach I suit and updates it and Whiplash gives Hammer the arc reactor design and he builds it and then builds an army of robots. WM is not shooting at Iron Man but the robots. Watch it again, there is more than one.

More likely after Stark went public he had to cooperate with the government a little and gave them the Mark II suit. Remember Mark I suit was built in the cave, which later got into Stane's hands which allowed him to reverse engineer it into the Iron Monger suit. Stane had the suit but not the ability to power it, because none of his engineers could shrink down the arc reactor technology.

Ironically we see that Whiplash is the opposite, the miniaturized arc but no suit. Pure power but no where to put it but those tentacles. Which is odd since Stane couldn't build a mini-arc but this prisoner could? Only other person who could do that was the "great Tony Stark"...hmm...

 

[crimsonspider89]

I don't consider Stane's the Mach I. That was the prototype, his first test suit was Mach I and the one he fought in was the Mach II and his new one in the movie is the Mach III. Whiplash built it off of his father's blueprint using the same tools Tony used while he was in the cave but probably updates it later. Yeah, I think Black Widow will be the one who steals the suit and Whiplash gives the ark reactor technology to Hammer and the government who build a robotic army under the control of Hammer. Maybe Whiplash does it in exchange for his own suit.

 

[Staxeon]

Remember this movie poster?.

And on Whiplash, if he hates Stark enough maybe Whiplash will just give the reactor to the one with the best chance of killing Stark? If vengeance is his goal money might not matter all that much, in terms of "selling" the tech.

 

[Heretic]

I'm still laughing that the viral was such a colossal failure that one of the people behind the viral had to "solve" it in order for people the trailer.

Either latino review simply forgot to put their clue up when they were supposed to, or no one goes to that site to have seen it. I find it odd that right after the riddle was "solved" the last photo appeared all over the place. As if to say "hey guys, you missed a picture".

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Are you really that pretentious?

 

[Heretic]

Explain why any of what I just said is wrong.

You cant prove that Im wrong at all. The person who solved the riddle is the same person who revealad a clue!!!!!! Or at least a part of the same source. And, if you can show me debate over the fourth picture BEFORE the website was already found, please prove me wrong.

Once that fourth picture was found, the website would have been immediately located...but it wasnt...because the website was found before the picture was circulated...even the Hype Administrator claimed to have no knowledge of the 4th picture before finding the site.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

You actually think that this "viral" matters, don't you? Like it'll be the next Dark Knight viral? It won't be, they were just having fun before they released the trailer, gave us, the fans something to do while we waited for the trailer, SURE, it might have been a waste but had we known that going in, none of this would have happened and the trailer would have just "popped up" online. They made it fun for us while we waited. Sure the clues were pointless but what if they weren't, one of the pictures is still missing and we have NO idea what they were for. Maybe the viral isn't over, who knows? they wouldn't have made a Stark Enterprises website for nothing, now would they? Last I checked they made the website and nothing came out, picture or info wise for a while, that site will still have something. But, it's people like YOU that say "lawl, its died". Simply because "Why so serious" isn't splashed across the screen.

basically, you are admitting that it was poorly done...admitting that it was pointless...and STILL defending it's merits. Have you NO standards?

I cannot believe that I'm having to argue in favor of quality, and people are actually arguing against quality and saying that mediocrity is better than nothing.

 

[SuperHeroHype]

For the record, I had no idea that Latino Review was going to put up a fourth clue, nor was I aware that there was a website that would "launch" the trailer. Right after I saw the fourth clue at Latino Review, I put the four highlighted words together and tried different URL's. When I found the site it asked me to put in a four digit code, which is found on Latino Review's clue. I was pretty surprised that I got there first, to be honest, and I would have handed this to another fan gladly. I was not aware that my name would be posted at Apple. In the end, you all got to see the trailer as soon as possible, so it seems like a win for you guys.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Which I thank you for, was the code 1969?

What I'm saying is, you're expecting, no, need it to be on the same level of The Dark Knights, right? Maybe they don't give a **** about a viral and was just looking for a way to release the trailer a little more unusually.

I bet you were all sorts of torn up inside when the teaser didn't have the Jokers handwriting all over it.

 

[SuperHeroHype]

Yup!

Did you mention the fourth picture at latino Review when you initially claimed credit for unlocking the trailer?

If not, how long was it from the time you spotted the picture that no one else had seen until you informed us of the picture?

Im just trying to clear the air for others who may think that the thing was rigged since a partner in the viral solved it. Other sites are likely to cry fowl over this.
