What does /m/ think of the Iron Man portion of the MCU and all the various suits?
>>13830883
I think they are entertaining.
>>13830888
>>13830883
I seem to be in a minority of people who actuallyliked Iron Man 3.

OP here. I still need to watch IM3 myself. Yeah I know but I wasn't interested after the relative disappointment that was IM2. I'm thinking about watching it very soon though, maybe even this week since I'm getting caught up on the MCU.
Fuck if the Iron Man and War Machine suits aren't the coolest thing though.
garbage like all non syd mead western mechanical designs

I really think the Iron Man movies and the MCU in general is probably the best depiction of powered armor in fiction so far. They're so cool-looking and they're really badass, being realistic enough so that they seem logical enough to a point, and also so that they carry a lot of weight in battle and such, but also just crazy enough to be like something out of an anime.
>>13830936
I really love the corporate military-industrial backdrop for the IM movies. Makes a lot of sense and really gives it that sci-fi 80's mecha anime feel.
They all look the same.
>>13831119
If you're blind, maybe.
>>13830894
IM3 is the second best American mecha movie
>>13831575
What's the first?
IKUZEEEEEEEE MINNA
FINAL DYNAMIC SPECIALLLLLL
The first Iron Man is great and by far the best MCU movie, 2 and 3 were okay. The designs look pretty nice as far as Hollywood goes, they're sleek and "realistic" without being Bayformer-esque overdesigned monstrosities.
>>13831711
Robot Jox, duh.
3>1>2
>>13831711
>>13831769
Expected either this or Iron Giant.
I wish more love were given to the really good designs. Like Silver Centurion and Prometheum.
Mark III was best and most solid movie design.
>>13832085
To this end - how the fuck is Iron Giant NOT #2?
>>13830894
I can see what they were trying to do with the Mandarin, accept it even. But it hurts the movie as a whole when the villain who replaces him is nowhere near as charasmatic or intimidating. This is coming from someone who has no connection to the comics.
>>13832153
You've got a point, but I sort of have a soft spot for villains who are totally self-obsessed chuuni poser wanksticks.Say whatever you want about TFA, but I really like the idea of Kylo Ren.
>>13832174
From the sound of things, that's actually not that uncommon a sentiment on the guy.
A lot of it's just the fact that, as he is now, he's also fun to rip on.
Personally, still interested in seeing where his arc goes from here.
>>13832153
Unfortunately, this has been the problem with a lot of the MCU's villains. Despite tending to cast some usually pretty talented actors to play their villains, they all too often squander them in stock 2-D roles that never really get the chance to shine.
One of the reasons I liked Kingsley in IM3. Besides his actually making the Mandarin interesting while just being a talking head, he also still manages to make the role fun once he's been outed as a fraud, even if only for the sight of a critically acclaimed award-winning actor playing a comically drunken burnout.
>>13832153
>This is coming from someone who has no connection to the comics.
That might be a good thing, because with the comic connection it's becomes a long time villain who gets replaced by a guy who appears only in one page of a comic before offing himself, which sounds even worse.
I think they look great, but they're getting a bit too "round" for my taste.
>>13831760
>The first Iron Man is great and by far the best MCU movie
Eh, I'd give that Winter Soldier. It's definitely #2 by a wide margin though.
Who hype for Civil War here?
>>13832085
>>13832132
You're right, IM3 is only number 3
>>13832981
From what I've seen, which is everything but Thor 2, IM3, and Ant-Man, the top three are:
>The Winter Soldier
>Avengers 1
>Iron Man 1
>>13833011
Me, but not for any /m/-related reasons. I'm hyped as fuck forBlack Panther.Unless he counts.
>>13833224
>Thor 2
I was actually pretty impressed they somehow managed to make an even worse movie than the first one. Plus, it's the least relevant movie in all of MCU. Also Loki pretended to die and is currently posing as Odin. There, now you can skip it if you weren't planning to already.
Ant-Man is wonderful though. Well worth a watch.
>>13833318
Ant Man was a pleasant surprise after the massive hype about Almost a Week of Ultron. Like >>13832230 alluded to, James Spader was wasted in that role.Is Ultron /m/?
>>13833623
Ultron is a robot, so yes, he is /m/.
>>13830883
I fucking love the 2nd one if not for the suitcase armor, and the drones. The third one was eeeeh with the exception of the multiple suits flying around and Tony jumping in and out of them will nilly. That shit was awesome.

First Iron Man movie is god tier.
Second is mediocre, third is just okay.
>>13833224
>Unless he counts.
Probably not??? I mean, there's not much mecha about his suit other than the fact it's made with metal. As far as I know anyway, which admittedly isn't much.
I just think Civil War is going to be a great movie.
>>13833318
The only problems Ant-Man suffers from are kinda rehashing the plot progressions of the first Iron Man, and also committing some of the most obnoxious cases of unsubtle foreshadowing I've ever seen in a work of fiction.
They outright spoil what the finale boils down to.
>>13833011
I am so hype that even a shred of disappointment could crush the East coast in a singularity of despair.
I hate the Iron Man movies cause I hate Tony Stark.
He is such a effective, insufferable douchebag that I just can't watch those movies. And that PTSD side story in Iron Man 3 was cringe tier.
>>13834835
Don't be a pussy.
>>13834839
Nah. Can't wait to see him get a sweet beat down in Civil War.
