Yeah it looks very well done. Which time-frame for the origin are they using? I doubt they're using the 60's one, but I was afraid that with a more "modern" setting the first armor made in Stark's captivity would be too high-tech and covered in LED's and the like for a suit thrown together in a metalshop.Ghost Rider wrote:Not bad honestly. I like the fact it's streamlined, but maintain a very bare look. It's one of the things I enjoyed of the original armor...it wasn't this ultra sleek skin tight suit, it was ARMOR.
As far as I know, that's the official comic continuity anyways. He found the rings in the wreck of a Makluan (Fin Fang Foom's race) spaceship.BrandonMustang wrote:Sweet. Mandarin's rings have had a few weird origins of their own. The most movie-compatible is just alien technology found in a spaceship that crashed on Earth a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. With the Venom Symbiote retaining it's outer space origin in Spider-Man 3, Mandarin's rings aren't that big of a stretch.
Quite a few comic movies are already like that but the only ones I know of are DC movies.Shroom Man 777 wrote:What'd be better is if this Iron Man was set in a retro-futuristic world, sorta like Sky Captain.
I don't know, Iron Man has always been a superhero that I thought worked best in a perfectly "modern" setting.Shroom Man 777 wrote:What'd be better is if this Iron Man was set in a retro-futuristic world, sorta like Sky Captain.
Yeah, but that armor there BEGS to just fight crazy flying saucers and shiny robots armed with heat rays that go "weeeew-weeeooooww!"Spanky The Dolphin wrote: I don't know, Iron Man has always been a superhero that I thought worked best in a perfectly "modern" setting.
I don't know of any sort of retro-futurism that was ever prevented for the character, anyway, so such a proposal to me seems to be a bit random and just for the sake of it...
Except, for me at least, that's not Iron Man. That's something else.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Yeah, but that armor there BEGS to just fight crazy flying saucers and shiny robots armed with heat rays that go "weeeew-weeeooooww!"Spanky The Dolphin wrote: I don't know, Iron Man has always been a superhero that I thought worked best in a perfectly "modern" setting.

Set that Iron Man in the 50s, and have him challenge "futuristic" (for the 50s, at least) baddies, and viola! It'd be like those oldschool comic books! The ones where mad scientists actually bothered to use shrink rays and such.
