undeadpool Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 he does look awsome but it just makes me sad that they picked the worst villains for the ironman movies, i mean how come cap gets redskull and arnim zola, thor gets loki and the destroyer and ironman gets bondage whip guy and suicidal old man in tin can?

karamazov80 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Well. . .Iron Man's enemies suck in general. Sorry. Would Melter have made you happier? Edited March 4, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If the Red Skull sucks then I can confirm that it's not through his nose . That ol' guy in the tin can was really old though .....extremely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 i think ironmans villains are some of the coolest ones youve got the big ones: the mandarin crimson dynamo titanium man ghost blizzard and the cool not as popular ones: fing fang foom MODOK spymaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you want to say the derivative Iron Man rip-offs and bad-taste Asian stereotype are your bag, we'll just agree to disagree. But Blizzard?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Blizzard?? i dont care about the characters background i just think their costume/powers are cool and would have made for a better movie with a bigger fan following. im not saying the movies werent good im just disapointed we didnt see his arch-enemies like cap and thor are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) With Cap and Thor, you really don't have a choice. They've got a single arch-villain. Iron Man's closest counterpart is probably the Mandarin, and though I thought the Middle Eastern guy from the first film was supposed to be analogous to Mandarin in some ways (he talked about "the ten rings" or some such thing), he isn't very well known or important to the character in the way that, say, a Red Skull to Cap is, or Magneto to the X-Men. As such, the producers had lee-way to do whatever the heck they wanted without fan backlash regarding the choice of villains. Maybe you are right and this was detrimental to the success of the films, but I personally don't think subbing Blizzard or Spymaster for Whiplash would have put many more butts in the seats. Just my opinion. Edited March 4, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 It is not for me to speculate why it's OK to feature Nazis & pseudo-Nazis in the Cap movie whilst the old Chinese geezer is considered too bad-taste to be featured in the Iron Man movies but I can guess. I've been reading Thor (off & on) for decades & I also know my WWII history pretty well & you won't be seeing too many Nazis wanting to fight Norse gods in any Thor movie anytime soon ....I'm not looking for applause for my candour I'm just telling it how it is. Skrulls seem nice & safe to me ,I have a couple living next door along to me & they seem very nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I for one was completely satisfied with the Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash/Blacklash combination in IM2. I thought Ivan Vanko worked for the story. I agree that IM doesn't have the iconic villains that Cap or Thor have, and most end up feeling like IM rip-offs. And in the movie-verse, Iron Monger and Whipdynamo were both treated as exactly that. Here's hoping any IM3 movie doesn't feature an armored foe running on stolen Stark tech. That Red Skull looks amazing. I can't imagine a better real world rendition.

Trekker 42 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I don't want to join in on the "Does Iron Man Have Good Villains?" debate. But I must say that a Spymaster/Ghost team up would make for an interesting challenge. A villain Iron Man shouldn't have much trouble beating... if he could just catch the bastard. Ghost might take on Kitty Pryde qualities too with the ability to destroy electronics through phasing. Basically out of Iron Man's villains, they'd make the most interesting actual challenge for Iron Man I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I came across this cool retro Captain America poster. Turns out these were made as gifts for the crew of the movie and will not be found at your local cinemas. Personally I think it looks very cool and I love the tip of the hat to the cover of Captain Ameica # 1. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Rumor has it there is a referance in the film to Cap punching out Hitler either a photo or newsreal film footage. To see Cap punching out Hitler will be worth the price of the ticket alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Man that suit looks AWFUL!!! Which is, of course, kinda the point. So in that respect, I LOVE IT! Wait a damn second here... ... HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! I swear, if it wasn't for the wings looking different I'd say they just took the suit from THAT movie and used it as the USO uniform!

MiniFiend UK Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just seen the USO uniform and I know I'm supposed to hate it but I like that its a nod towards the comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I dig the cheesy feel of the costume. It seems period appropriate. *sigh* Must every Marvel hero be flanked by a row of matching backup dancers? :biggrin: You say it like it's a bad thing?

karamazov80 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't think that Tool song works very well in the trailer, but the rest seems pretty solid to me. Looking forward to this one, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
