Iron Man 2 The Official Whiplash Thread

[Ipodman]

Hope thats not real.... he needs to be more flexible

 

[sabetoonth]

thats true, i hope he ends up in something like that above posted pic of his new comics look. though preferably something distinct enough to the film

 

[Ipodman]

Maybe Hammer lets Whiplash try out different suits... and asks him which one he prefers. In the end he uses the triangle mask design to fight Iron man

 

[TheVileOne]

None of those are what is in the movie.

 

[sabetoonth]

how do you know?

 

[Thunderball]

Does whiplash get upgraded armor? If so, what does it look like? (for anyone who has actually seen the film)

 

[kedrell]

He's seen it.

It looks pretty cool dude, not like this bad concept art, which was shown recently, and not like minimates version either.

Is it Crimson Dynamo-ish?

Is it Crimson Dynamo-ish?

A little bit, but definitely not Iron Monger-ish, which is great. The armor is pretty movable and powerful.

I know because I saw the movie last week. I'm using spoiler tags for safety because I don't want to get nuked in 5 seconds:

Spoiler

-It's full body armor. Including a helmet and the whips. There's no extra set of arms.

-It looks a little clunkier sort of like the Drone armor but it was also very maneuverable for Whiplash.

-It can fly.

-It basically looks like Whiplash customized his own armor for himself on the side from the Drone set while he was building the drones.

-So there's no open parts of it like the new Whiplash from that miniseries. There's no open cockpit or extra arms like that stupid videogame picture.

-It does a little Crimson Dynamo/Titanium Man-ish.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I heard that Whippy is easily defeated which worries me. The fight should be long and have lots of dialogue about the squabble between Tony and Ivan.

Mr. Earle:

It's not a 20 minute knockout dragout brawl. It is good though. It's pretty realistic as well so no there aren't a ton of quips. There is some banter with Iron Man and War Machine though.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I dont want quips, but there has to be some talk about why they re fighting. Something like:
- You stole my father's designs.
- No, your father was a troll.
- No Tony you are the trolls.

Something like that anyway. It cant be just action.

You will be disappointed then because most of that dialogue kind of happens earlier rather than in battle. Listen guys this is a movie. Generally guys don't quip and talk a lot when they are trying to murder each other.

It's about the same amount as the first one as Iron Monger and Tony did talk a bit but not a lot. Iron Man and War Machine do banter though a little bit.

[Boom]

Stellar .

Spoiler

The metal "skirt" over the legs is very Gundam-esque.

 

[TheVileOne]

That is the Whiplash Mark II from the movie.

Spoiler

Note that it is a little reminiscent of Dynamo/Titanium Man. You know sort of clunkier not as sleek. It's got the whips in there too.

I got to hand it to the production team, they did an EXCELLENT job of keeping things like that under wraps until now.

Think about it. We haven't even seen any toy designs or anything of that armor. When Spider-man 3 was coming we saw statues and figures of Venom and also the Sideshow stuff of Venom.

 

[RetroNaz]

Does anyone know if Whippy is killed in this? (apologies if this has already been answered, I'm playing catch up)...

 

[TheVileOne]

RetroNaz, you'll just have to see the movie .

hehe fair call my friend. it's probably best that the ending isn't spoiled...but then again I did just stumble upon the damn novel thread...

 

[TheVileOne]

Let me say this, don't believe the novel spoilers.

A lot of what's it in the novel is WRONG and not accurate to the movie.
