It makes you’ve think, huh?
It makes you’ve think, huh?
Not really
>Iron Man had a secret identity for decades and was only unmasked by accident
Yeah, really made me think.
Not on MCU.
It's funny, because classic Iron Man had the best Secret Identity scenes and subplots.
...
it's almost like an autistic veteran could murder tony at any time
Who gives a shit about movies? COMICS & Cartoons.
But that has stayed the status quo. Spidey literally had to sell his marriage to Satan to put his secret identity back together.
Well to be picky Mephisto is literally NOT Satan.
He's just a wanker that thinks he is
will we get a movie where toomes goes after tony?
>Images and discussion should pertain to media of Western origin.
Stupid newnigger
Depends on how you phone that question in. Thing about Iron Man is he technically starts out less as a superhero and more as an industrialist who has just developed advanced technology for personal use, he does interfere in a terrorist situation but it's not a frequent thing and afterward the series is mostly about personal problems coming to Tony so defending himself is within his right.
With most other superheroes they're active vigilantes doing shit they have no real authority to, so they have to make an effort to keep their identity and activities separate.
MCU Irom Man also doesnt have monsters and villains coming after him like giant lizards, tentacle men, or anything,
What could he possibly be protecting if he kept a secret?
If only.
if only there were more distinct boards, instead of /cotvpol/
Tony is egotistic, thinks himself unstoppable, he's fearless, a god among men
He'll show his face in public, he won't run from a fight, he fucked your mother
The MCU is the only Marvel thing that matters.
Iron Man has the power of money, he doesn't have to worry about people knowing.
Jesus christ, did Tony fuck your mom and became your step-father or something?
tbf thats only been proven wrong once in MCU
Who the fuck in the one second from the bottom? Miller-Flash?
>It makes you have think, huh?
Poor Peter Parker.
Worst Peter.
I like how Tony expects to be attacked in his home and then is completely unprepared when a few helicopters actually arrives. Was he expecting Mandarin to just walk in and challenge him to a chess match? Where were the scanners detecting hostiles, the security system, the reinforced walls in case of an attack?
Oh yeah, Tony had PTSD until he no longer needed to have it.
Why was this movie so fucking bad?
>remember to all the arguments about how stupid Iron Man 3 is
Tony Stark is really the only one who doesn't have anyone who he wants to protect.
But user, it's actually good because of the Mandarin twist, which was also good.
>he doesn't want to protect Pepper or Happy
Okay man.
>swap a charismatic re-imagining of iron man's most (only) iconic villain with the third white businessman with a grudge against tony
>ruin a perfectly good opportunity to make mandarin cool again in the comics and get people interested in iron man comics
Shane Black was a mistake.
>after nearly dying in iron man 3, happy quits and becomes a chef in a taco van after marrying black widow and gets help from tony stark in his new business
>Aha, I have tricked you! Instead of there being 2 villains in this movie both working to kill Tony, there is in fact only 1 villain! I am a fake villain!
To this day I still don't understand that the point of the twist was other than bamboozling
The twist was to set up terrorists as a cover for extremis testing gone wrong. The idea is good but the execution was shit because Killian was a shitty villain.
>Oh yeah, Tony had PTSD until he overcame it
i'm sorry if internal character conflict resolution is too complicated for you
It wasn't even a big resolution. His kid side kick told him to get over it, and that was the end of it.
My issue is that from the perspective of the audience, early on we already know that Killian is probably a villain.
So now we're worried because Tony is fending off two threats at the same time.
Then it turns out the terrorists were just a charade, and it's really only just Killian.
In principle it could have made Killian seem like an *even* bigger threat because everything ties back to him. Instead it just feels like a quick resolution to some subplot, like basically one threat is no longer relevant, one less thing to worry about.
The whole of IM3 is "I get where you're going with this, but... no."
Why doesn't he wear a mask?
If that makes you think then you watch too much capeshit.
What was the reacton from oldfags?
They all have people to protect. Tony was a lonely faggot
The funny thing about Superman's secret identity is that nobody has any reason to think he has one. He flies around showing his real face in public, he has a Kryptonian name which is usually public knowledge, and people even know he's got a Fortress of Solitude which is where they think he lives, even if they don't know its exact location.
The fact there's a guy working at a local newspaper who kind looks like him is just a novelty. Nobody has any reason to think Superman goes around disguised as an ordinary person.
Can someone solve this for me: Towards the middle of V3, Tony exposes himself as Iron Man to save a dog. Then at the start of V4 (Extremis) he's back to hiding. After that story is over, the prelude to Civil War begins, and his identity is public. So when the fuck did he out himself in 616 canon?
Which is really funny considering Iron Man 3 is the best Iron Man movie.
Garfield?
Chthon and Shuma Gorath are the closest to being the real devil.
Mephisto presents himself as the devil.
Mephisto isn't even a class one demon, he's a lowly class 3. A big part of Mephisto's character is hid false grandiosity and posturing.
If he was a hero 24/7 and collected welfare checks you would be right, but he's a guy with a 9 to 5 job, anyone who keeps track of Superman would notice that they see him less on weekdays and work hours. Him not wearing a mask has all kinds of explanations.
nobody gives a fuck about comics
Blame Ike.
Maya Hansen was far more interesting but Ike demanded a male villain.
Fuck Ike; There's never enough Rebecca Hall
IKE, YOU FUCKING KIKE!
This was a story in the 80s with this exact premise, when Lex fed a computer a bunch of info and it determined that his secret identity was Clark Kent...
...which Luthor dismissed as stupid because why would Superman pretend to be a human?
Clark's job isn't 9 to 5. He's quite often out of the office for extended periods chasing down leads, or he might be writing at home, etc.
He's also known for having a habit of running off, generally after leads. Granted, it's implied Perry has guessed the truth but doesn't say anything out of politeness.
I want to see the Juggernaut finger Mephisto to death in an edgy what it.
In my opinion pic related gives the least shits about secret identities.
I mean look at this son of a bitch. He's a wanted felon who is already known to be Venom, and he wears the fucking logo on his arm! It's like he's taunting the law.
>"Hey man, have you ever wondered why Superman is not flying around during working hours?"
>"Well duh, because there are less people walking outside, we are all safe in our offices so Superman doesn't have to worry so much."
>"If there is a crime, he probably has a radio or something that tells him when there is danger"
This exchange or similar is probably lost in some Silver Age comic, somewhere.
>it's implied Perry has guessed the truth but doesn't say anything out of politeness.
It might be a specific trope, but I really enjoy the "Boss knows the main hero's identity but respects them enough not to say anything." , like Ultimate Jameson
Speaking of secret identities, did Captain America ever have one after he was defrosted, or did everyone know that he was Steve Rogers?
...
>"Boss knows the main hero's identity but respects them enough not to say anything."
that's what people liked about this portrayal of Cat.
Hes superman. There is zero reason to think he needs to eat.
In reality governments with satalites, cameras, etc would easily be able to keep track of all the heroes. Hell we already have departments like the NGA whose job it is to do this shit. But we use COMICS as reason why it isn't an issue.
He is also off world a lot. Which would easily explain the time drops.
>It makes you’ve think
>It makes you have think
What's that from? It actually takes the sensible approach, given that some people are going to resemble celebrities and there are probably several people who look like Superman.
and then there's this dumb-ass over here.
figuring out he's the flash is kinda pointless when he tells you himself.
>he fucked your mother
It's ok. I did something else to yours.
It's the first thing ever that made him think, don't be harsh, he's a beginner.
A fun game I like to play is "what would I do if I got X power", and the first concern is avoiding any form of government detection.
Superman's is pretty hard, other than say looking through stuff and heat vision. Or super speed in the comfort of my own home.
Stark had a secret identity for 95% of his history
The movie just changed it
Quips, user. The answer is always quiips.
No it doesn’t
>Iron man is the most boring out of all the heroes
Really makes you think
They made the fatal error of making the red herring more interesting and striking than the real deal.
Too controversial to drudge up such a politically incorrect stereotype of a villain.
Its a shift reason but the only one I can think of.
But it was played completely straight in the trailers, which would defeat that point.
Man, Sup Forums really doesn't read comics.
I guess they just didn't have a clue what they were doing? I wanted the comic mandarin.
I'm beyond fed up with the mcu now anyway.
I just take the highs and ignore the lows
i had to google them to remind myself but Chthon and Shuma Gorath seem closer to lovecraftian entities.
whereas mephisto is closer the classic devil.
Sup Forums is dead user. In some instances the change is an improvement, like /gif/ becoming /webm/ but here it's changed from Sup Forums to /tv2/.
Sup Forums is no longer love. Now it's capeshit CW dramas and shitty movies. I mean /comblr/
>I mean Nu/co/
ftfy
t. literal children
How about "a realistic approach to terrorism in general by having the seeming over-the-top magical "big bad" be merely an actor hired by an actual threat who is person from the world of business operating in the shadows and making billions of dollars from death"?
>Maya Hansen was far more interesting
for your dick. At least be honest with yourself here
The actual threat was already established. You went from having 2 villains to having 1 villain in one scene.
Also are you saying that shadowy CEOs ordering massive attacks on civilizations is more realistic than terrorists releasing threatening videos?
There is more than one interpretation or just do something like Ra's ala Batman Begins.
yee
Oh how far we've come.
Cant think. too much rum & eggnog.
Post examples.
Because rich businessmen profiting off of terrorism literally happened in the first movie and the second movie was about the government willing to throw money at unscrupulous businessmen to have weapons of mass destruction.
What about Azazel? is he even a demon or just an old mutant peole confused with the devil?
they accomplished that already with casting though - the only logical explanation is that they just hated the idea of magic actually being a thing in the MCU...at least until it came time to expand things out to the point that they got around to characters like Dr Strange and they couldn't avoid it any more
