I don't like the new comic armor. The gold along the shoulders kills it for me.

[Hot Coldman]

I can't see the problem with it. Mute the colors for the big screen adn it would look fine. His movie armor is way too busy for my liking, especially the new suit at the end of the Avengers.

Each to their own. Like Technomancer, the form fitting thing really bugs me. If they never used that the majority of the models would look far better, personally.

[StarCreator]

I love how the design of the armor in Iron Man 1 absolutely shits over all these designs. Movie designers > comic book artists

I was pretty sure Adi Granov (one of the comic artists) was consulted heavily for the look of the armors in Iron Man 1.

[ViewtifulJC]

Who's chasing it? Looks like some sort of mixture of War Machine and the Destroyer. It aged really badly. I can't see movie Iron Man suffering like that.

Well, he's in the middle of a big storyline involving The Mandarin(probably his biggest villian) teaming up with Ezekiel Stane(Obadiah Stane's revenge-fueled son) and crooked government General Babbage are all working on slowly dismantling Tony Stark and his company. They're using old Stark tech to rebuild some D-list rogues(that's probably who's in the picture) they've recruited to distract him from their real plans, namely Tony Stark got drunk and they've leaked the info out to the press. People don't like relasping alcoholics being behind the wheel of multi-million dollar suits of destruction, so Tony's been forced out of being Iron Man for the time being. Who knows what happens next?

Movie Armor really is best armor.

But that's soon being replaced by MYSTERY IRON MAN. Who is the man behind the mask!?

Need context/info nao.

EDIT: Beaten.

I always liked that, since the armor was supposed to be really thin on the arms and legs (and hence able to fit in a suitcase).

Agreed. It's immensely sexy and fun to look at. Though I liked Mark IV the best thus far. When I'm feeling drunk or silly enough, I'm going to buy the Hot toys model.

I guess it depends on what the armor is, I don't know what it was meant to be when that design was first published. If its literally just a suit of armor then the form-fitting thing as a design advantage makes sense, but if its meant to be powered at all, like increasing his strength and such, then the lack of bulk just bothers me. Mechanics take up space

[Sentry]

The latest Iron Man armor in the comics may be my favorite

His current armor is pretty badass:

Yeah, although i'm not particularly font of the heroic age Avengers in general, the new suit design was probably the best thing to come out of it.

Too many lights. Why all the lights? There's a light on his calves.

[Slayven]

I hate how they brought the jazzhands thing into the comics.

In fact, don't read this text, these few comic panels kinda sum up Stark's current situation, including how he sucks at making breakfast

[Raging Spaniard]

Looks like it was lifted directly from the movies. So yeah, it looks cool, but only because it's almost identical to the movie armor.

Nope. The extremis armor design came out well before the movie.

[Parallax]

His current armor is pretty badass: Plus it comes out of his bones.

im fine with the upper portion of the armor. but the legs.... eh. i cant feel that.

Thaaats what I'm talkin about

im sure granov can make any suit of armor look awesome. has he done a variant of tonys current armor?

[Hawkian]

I love how the design of the armor in Iron Man 1 absolutely shits over all these designs. Movie designers > comic book artists

Adi Granov designed it -_-

It's based on the Extremis armor.

[Slayven]

Always a fan of the Prototype armor. Marvel technically owns this.

[G-Fex]

The King of Games has finally seen this movie.


Truly this is the KING Of comic book movies.

I felt like a child when I saw my favorite super heroes on screen kicking ass.

Marvel needs to relauch the ultraverse and merge it into 616

Explain!

Does Fox or somebody still own the Silver Surfer movie rights? Maybe there's a contractual loophole that links Chris Evans and SS.

Hoo boy, if Avengers 2 ends with an after-credits shot of the Surfer hauling ass towards Earth I will just lose my shit all over everybody near me.

Why is this "Marvel's Avengers" and not "Disney's Avengers?" Is Disney keeping the label separate for now? If so, why?

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Has there been a higher res version of this released? Talking over 2048p, for an ipad display yo.

[Hot Coldman]

Why is this "Marvel's Avengers" and not "Disney's Avengers?" Is Disney keeping the label separate for now? If so, why?

I think Disney's strategy so far is to keep the relation between the Disney brand and the Marvel brand on a solely corporate level. The Marvel brand works well enough without support from the Disney brand.

Also, the Avengers is a Marvel creation. Calling it "Disney's" is a bit off.

[Jintor]

[richiek]

Why is this "Marvel's Avengers" and not "Disney's Avengers?" Is Disney keeping the label separate for now? If so, why?

It has to do with Disney signing the deal with Paramount to distribute the Avengers and future MCU films. Paramount is contractually obligated to have their name in the credits, even though it's Disney who's marketing and distributing the film.

[johnsmith]

Why is this "Marvel's Avengers" and not "Disney's Avengers?" Is Disney keeping the label separate for now? If so, why?

Branding. Disney's The Avengers would just seem really weird. They kept the Pixar name after they bought them, and that would have melded with the existing Disney canon a lot smoother than Marvel. Though eventually I can see them branding the movies as Disney Marvel like they do Disney Pixar.

[sharbhund]

Why is this "Marvel's Avengers" and not "Disney's Avengers?" Is Disney keeping the label separate for now? If so, why?

In this Fortune article, Bob Iger talks about how Disney has five key brands (Disney, ESPN, ABC, Marvel, and Pixar), so it sounds like they are going to keep the brands separate.

[shanshan310]

lol, this really bugged me =/ Plus the crowd looked very american. If you're going to set it in Germany, at least make an effort to make it seem at all German.

That's not the Extremis armor, it's the Bleeding Edge armor.

http://marvel.wikia.com/Iron_Man_Armor_Model_37

Known weaponry includes repulsors, uni-beam, pulse bolts, and an energy blade. Defenses include deflectors. Other type of weapons and upgrades seems to be created by Stark's imagination, such as a boxing glove. This entire armor is kept inside Tony's body until mentally commanded in which it manifests itself as the Iron Man Armor. The armor is made up of Nano-Machines that can now be commanded to turn into any type of structure upon Stark's skin. For example, the nano-machines can turn into clothes, other armors, or even different beings completely, by having the nano-machines change their properties into whatever Stark wants them to. It can also dissociate to transform into the Iron Man armor whenever Stark wishes. The armor and Stark's own transhuman body are powered by the high-yield arc reactor mounted in his chest. The high output of the arc reactor has greatly augmented Stark's intelligence and provided him superhuman-level multitasking and learning capabilities. Unlike earlier armors, this new armor does not appear to rely on motors and servos for motion. Instead, the nano-machines create a second layer of artificial muscle over Stark's body, upon which additional structures are assembled. This also enables the armor to self-repair and be almost invulnerable as the armor is capable of transforming and healing itself, by having the constantly replicating nano-machines replace anything that is lost or used, as long as the power output from the arc reactor isn't interrupted or terminated.

dat comic book science.

Pepper could have had that good armor, but she wanted to be a goddamn hippy with her armor.

[Manmademan]

I was under the impression this was to keep the IP separate from the old UK "The Avengers" series (with emma peel, etc) that got a movie relaunch a decade or so back

[Escape Goat]

[Dai101]

The only armor she needs are DEM DAISY DUKES

[LakeEarth]

Are there any pics of the Iridium rock from this movie, someone said it is in the shape of Serenity but it might just be another rumour.

[XiaNaphryz]

Has there been a higher res version of this released? Talking over 2048p, for an ipad display yo.

I don't think we ever did 4K renders, so why would there be a bigger one?

[Jake Tower]

Iron Man is pretty much Green Lantern now.

And it's dumb.

2K is still pretty much the film standard, though we're seeing more 4K stuff as time goes on.

It was shot in Cleveland. How do you look German anyway ? lederhosen ?

[ultron87]

Saw it for the second time tonight. I love that you can see the shawarma place at one of the places Iron Man touches down at.

Has nothing on Cable replacing his old powers with the internet up until he died.

Wait. What? I read a bit of Cable's stuff right before Second Coming.

[AlphaDragoon]

Damn, that armor is badass. Really like the look of it too (also preferred movie IM armor to the comics, and this looks very much like the movie versions).

Anyway, saw this movie yesterday (my mom wanted to see it for Mother's Day, so my brother and I took her). Fucking amazing.

[Freshmaker]

Wait. What? I read a bit of Cable's stuff right before Second Coming.

During Deadpool and Cable's run, his powers were burned out for a while. He called it something else, but he was essentially projecting force-fields etc with the power of the internet.

[Cloudy]

Saw this over the weekend. Totally amazing movie and the buildup in the other movies was totally worth it :)

RDJ as Iron Man is one of the best castings ever :D

[TrAcEr_x90]

I was pretty sure Adi Granov (one of the comic artists) was consulted heavily for the look of the armors in Iron Man 1.

That he was, and his best run was the extremis series. Which iron man 3 is gonna be based off of.
