Attention Earth 616
...so yeah, I'm totally defecting to Marvel Adventures universe until you get your shit together. 'Cause really, if I want grim, depressing and "gritty," I'll read the frikkin' news.

Off to spend quality time with my new love,

~ Ouri ~

Yes, rather!

I do wish the DCU had something as good but it did have almost a decade of the Diniverse instead, so I guess they've had their turn.

It's just... their timing left something to be desired, you know?

Marvel Planners: "Oh hey, we've got the Iron Man movie coming out - just in case it's a hit, you know what we should do? Horrify and depress all the new fans it'll bring in by dumping ALL THE SHIT IN THE ENTIRE MARVEL U on Tony Stark! Yeah, that's a brilliant idea!"

New Fans: ... ... ... ;____; "noooooooo" *wibble*

Yeah but . . . the movie is beyond good, it's adaptation distillation. Tony, for such a cool character, doesn't have very many cool stories.

I don't even know what they're going to do for a villain in Movie 2, they already used all of Tony's up. He usually borrows Ultron from Hank Pym but since Hank's got his own movie coming I'm assuming Ultron's off limits for now.

...wonder how badass they could make a movie version of the Mandarin? All those fun rings could make for wonderful special effects opportunities. *g* Or a film adaptation of the Extremis arc, maybe.

I would love to see an adaptation of either Extremis or Armor Wars. It sounds like they're going to throw in Tony's alcoholic crash-out too.

Hmm, with the whole remote-controlling of the armor plot? Yeah, that could have potential!

(Yes, that's masked for possible spoiler-dom.)

Would tie in nicely to the demon in a bottle arc! I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see... (although I would prefer a justin hammer arc where Steve is around to teach Tony self-defence... a very important scene in that arc imho!)

Yeah, that would be MUCH improved by the presence of Steve. XD

(And I don't even know why I bothered with the spoiler thing, because I think almost anybody who'd bother reading this knows more about the canon than I do...)

Also yes, they have someone cast for the role of Justin Hammer, saw it on IMDB.

I've heard damn good things about MA, and god knows as a Spidey-fan I kicked Marvel to the curb with "One More Day".

I really, really want to ask them "WTF are you people thinking?!"
