Possible Captain America and Thor connections in Iron Man

[Bubonic]

For sure I saw some sort of prototype of Captain America's shield in Iron Man, just went to see the movie again, and was looking for it.

Oddly enough it seemed like an unfinished piece, almost a prototype, as it was see-through, like it was made of glass which was painted on.

Could it be that he'd been commissioned at this point to make the shield??? Would this hint that Captain America won't be a time piece, that he's "invented" in that current era?

Or was it just some toy model Stark was amusing himself making?

I don't understand why they'd bother making it glass, should be vibranium right?

Anyways, my Thor connection is even more obscure and purely out of my ass, but, during the climax of the battle with Stane, an immense surge of electrical energy blasted into the heavens, sending electrical shockwaves rippling threw the clouds....

Now I ask you, if you blast a nuke into the sea, Namor is going to be in your face about it.... So if you send a gigantic bolt of energy into the sky, when technically it is Thor's "job" to control thunder and lightning, could it somehow offend the Gods?

Or maybe it was justa visual sight gag for rabid Marvel fans to notice.

I was thinking the same when I was watching the movie for the second time.

I thought it was a "virtual projection" or whatever on his table. Was it actually something physical?

Well it really was nothing more then a 3 second glimpse, put I don't see why it would be a visual projection... It was on a work table, and oddly enough it look like it was fiber glass, because the stripes could be seen threw, and now I forget if the star was completed.

Gonna get closed pretty soon... check other threads before posting something you see in a single scene that might stick out to you... the discussion has been going on for a good week almost.

sorry, been having big time troubles with my internet, can hardly keep up with threads... if you'd be so kind as to point out where these discussions start, i'd be happy to join in.

I Spy With My Little Eye Something Under Stark's Iron Clad Armpit

The folks at io9 (movie news site) were astute enough to catch this little nugget and you can check it out below.


First Picture is taken from one of the Iron Man Trailers notice below his arm there is nothing, just a table.

But in the second picture which is taken from the best CAM copy of Iron Man on the internet notice there is shield shaped object below his arm on hi s desk, notice how the lamp on the table blocks out half...the star on the shield. Yes people have noted were is the red on the shield but take into account it would probably be a prototype.

I thought the blast into the sky was more a visual effect mirroring Tony's Uni Beam, just on a much bigger scale, being that they were both produced by the same type of ARC generator

Yes. If you watch the animated clip, you can clearly tell a disc shape with the red/white striping.
