Love the mention of Shane Black buddy-cop movies. I wonder if War Machine will say "the line"
This was bad news for me. The stupid slapstick ruined Iron Man 2. Why can't Iron Man be serious, huh?!What do they mean the film isn't serious?? It's light hearted? It's less serious than the previous two? I think they're covering for when it comes out and isn't as "dark" as TDKR or Skyfall...

First one blended the seriousness and humor well, but why can't Marvel go all Empire Strikes Back?
I love how Feige says, ""It's not a serious movie, but we seriously dig into exploring more of Tony. The trick is just trying to make great movies. We try to make them all great, all different and all fresh. What you'll see in Iron Man 3 is some very unique directions that were taken;" and the next day, the whole geek blogosphere is erupting over "ZOMG IM3 IS A COMEDY WTFBBQ?!?!?"

Then why release a trailer with a serious tone to it and have it be doom and gloom? You know a movie is in trouble when they release a trailer and start making execuses for it shortly after. I like ironman as much as the next guy but I always felt these movies needed a more darker touch, granted stark is the polar opposite of bruce wayne so we kinda get both ends but It would be interesting to see them take the movies seriously. Ironman 2 just went way off the beaten path and suffered from an identity crisis. If this movie really has the edge there showing with stark all by himself and trying to survive and take down the bad guys with minimal dumb humor then Im all over it. I just pray there is very little bickering between pepper and stark this time because It is so uncomfortable and not interetsting when they do that crap.
... because a trailer is suppose to spark interest... and it did just that
i think you're over-reacting just a smidge
It definitely sparked interest but I fell for this trick once with ironman 2 with the old switch and bait of being a serious movie and in the end you saw the outcome. Not really ovverreacting just responding to fieges comments, I mean why come out and say that at all? I cant remember a studio at all coming out and stating the mood of a film after a trailer.
not a studio. a person. a person that happens to be the head of a studio, yes, but it is a studio that produces two movies a year and the person in question is personally heavily involved in the production of every single one of them. as he is personally heavily involved in the production of IM3 he sometimes gets asked in interviews about details of the movie. and this time he answered a question about the mood of the film. all he stated was that humor will be included, which was expected since Black and Downey both are people that like to joke around and the first two movies as well as Avengers introduced us to a funny Stark.It definitely sparked interest but I fell for this trick once with ironman 2 with the old switch and bait of being a serious movie and in the end you saw the outcome.

Basically. I thought that was the biggest reason Black was perfect for this. Also didn't hurt that his sense of humor meshes well with Downey's.If this movie has the same buddy-cop tone as Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, that's exactly what I'm expecting from Shane Black and what I'm hoping for.
I don't know, how about that suitcase scene at the racetrack.What exactly are you speaking of here...?
Also, Tony's birthday party... C'mon.
