I feel like I should be more excited for it. I learned to read from reading the first book in the series, and the author is from my home state. Yet for some reason I haven't gone to see it.

Read the books as a kid. Saw it yesterday. Enjoyed it very much. Humor was more for kids, but it still got some laughs out of me. Very faithful to the books style. I didn't think they would use the Flip-o-rama for the action scene, but I'm glad I was wrong.

If you read the books, I highly recommend it.

IRON MAN (2000)

STUDIO
>New Line Cinema.

WRITTEN BY
>Tim McCanlies; Terry Rossio & Ted Elliot.

PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Joss Whedon.

PROPOSED PLOT

>Weapons manufacturer Tony Stark is framed for supplying weapons to terrorists by his business rival Justin Hammer, who then masterminds an attempt on Stark's life by sabotaging his private plane in order to seize control of Stark Industries and its groundbreaking Repulsor technology. Stark, however, survives due to an advanced armored suit and adopts the identity of Iron Man to prove his innocence and prevent Hammer from providing terrorists with Repulsor-based weapons that could change the landscape of modern warfare. While facing Hammer, Stark must also evade elite counter-terrorism operative Nick Fury, who is deployed by the United States government to stop him under the belief he's a terrorist. Once it becomes clear that Hammer is the true enemy, Fury joins Stark's efforts to stop him, and is later assigned by the President to headline a new organization codenamed "S.H.I.E.L.D.", while Stark reclaims Stark Industries and sets out to build a better world.

IRON MAN (2004)

STUDIO
>New Line Cinema.

WRITTEN BY
>David Hayter; Al Gough & Miles Miller.

PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Nick Cassavetes.

PROPOSED CAST
>Tom Cruise as Tony Stark / Iron Man.
>Famke Janssen as Bethany Cabe.
>Jamie Foxx as James Rhodes.
>George Clooney as Nick Fury.

PROPOSED PLOT

>Billionaire inventor Tony Stark uncovers evidence that his family's company, Stark Industries, is selling weapons to terrorists. After approaching his father Howard Stark with his concerns, Tony is severely injured when his car is sabotaged and survives due to an armored suit, which he weaponizes with help from his chief of security Bethany Cabe and his best friend, Colonel James Rhodes. Stark then sets out to uncover the mastermind behind the attempt on his life, while also evading the shadowy espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D. commanded by Nick Fury, who is on his trail to seize his technology.

>Stark uncovers evidence that Howard is both responsible for selling the weapons to terrorists and ordering the hit on him. Howard reverse-engineers Tony's technology to build a heavily-armed suit for himself, the War Machine. After Cabe, with whom Tony had developed a relationship, is caught in the crossfire, Tony and Howard have a final battle which culminates with Tony being forced to kill his father. Tony then reclaims Stark Industries and brokers a treaty with Fury to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. while secretly using their resources to locate and destroys the caches of Stark weapons scattered across the globe as the armored Avenger, Iron Man.

FUN FACTS

>The studio planned for Iron Man to have a transparent faceplate that'd leave Tom Cruise's face visible at all times.

>There were plans to launch a Nick Fury spin-off of the movie, but Clooney declined the role after being given "Nick Fury MAX" comics to read and being appalled by the violent content of the comics. The series was cancelled for costing New Line Clooney's involvement.

>Jonathan Hensleight.

PROPOSED DIRECTOR
>Joe Johnston, later replaced by Hensleight.

PROPOSED CAST
>David Duchovny as Bruce Banner / Hulk.
>Gregory Sporleder as Novak.
>Lynn "Red" Williams as Jenkins.

PROPOSED PLOT

>Dr. Bruce Banner and his girlfriend, Betty Ross, are scientists employed by her father, General Thaddeus Ross, to create weapons for the United States government. Bruce has anger management issues due to a traumatic childhood in the hands of his abusive father, Brian Banner, and is conducting genetic experiments on three death row inmates - Novak, Jenkins and Slater - selected by General Ross, splicing their DNA with insect DNA.

>The leader of the criminals, Novak, masterminds a riot and, in the chaos, Bruce is caught in the explosion of an experimental gamma bomb and turned into a monstrous green creature known as "The Hulk", which General Ross becomes obsessed with capturing. Aided by Betty, Bruce initially attempts to leave, but is forced to come to terms with the monster within to save New York City when Novak and his men, turned into monsters by the gamma bomb explosion, begin wreaking havoc in the city.

FUN FACTS

>Animatronics of the Hulk were actually produced by Industrial Light & Magic before the project was scrapped.

>At one point during the movie's troubled production, it was debated to ape the success of 1994's THE MASK by turning the movie into a comedy starring Adam Sandler as Bruce Banner and Jim Carrey as Novak.

Peter is determined to stop the Vulture and retrieves a Chitauri weapon that Brice had left behind, removing its power core. A tracking device leads Shultz and Brice to Midtown, but Peter and Ned evade them and Peter plants a spider-tracer on Shultz that leads back to Virginia. Peter then rejoins the declathon team and accompanies them to Nationals in Washington, D.C., to follow his lead on Shultz. Peter and Ned disable Peter's suit's tracker and unlock its secret features, including an A.I. interface. Spider-Man then locates Toomes, Shultz and their tinkerer, Phineas Mason (Michael Chernus), intercepting a DDC truck to steal more weapons. Spider-Man confronts the Vulture, but is overpowered and trapped in the truck, missing Nationals and disappointing his friends.

Peter finds out that the Chitauri power core left with Ned is unstable and that his friends are in danger. He manages to escape from DDC's headquarters but is too late to prevent the core from exploding while the team is visiting the Washington Monument, leaving them trapped in a collapsing elevator. Spider-Man manages to climb to the top while evading the police and catch the elevator before it plummets, saving his classmates and proving himself as a hero.

>Spider-Man has to save people from his own mistakes

That sounds about right.

Sounds fun.

Because in most of the planets, they serve as embryos for Celestials, and they're huge assholes. His job is to consume them before they are born. He's basically the god of abortion.

Nah. This is a franchise for fucking children. Why would you force an R rating on the capers of teenagers?

>>93243840
they probably just said "bang a dog up the ass"

I wonder if it was really all that much of an R or if it was like Galaxy Quest where the differences are so negligible that the "R rated" version that was filmed is very overblown especially in comparison to a much edgier script.

I still can't believe all the eye stuff is a complete coincidence

>>93243679
>a complete coincidence

What, you mean it wasn't foreshadowing?

I loved how Reboot did an entire episode that was a tribute to The Prisoner.

BATMAN NEVER SLEEPS!

>>93243363
What about a regular phone? Or the same system the police use?

Why does batman not move closer to the town to respond faster?

Butch Hartman.

OP for meme spouting.

Nah I just think he's taking a break after another long bout of depression as one of his recent videos spoke on the matter.

You'd have to be a total incompetent to die after only 2 weeks of being homeless.

So, probably.

It's not really a retcon if it's not retconning anything either. Until that point we didn't really know where the Avatar power came from
