That’s disappointing news. I loved the first two. Maybe my huge celebrity crush on Robert Downey Jr. will make up for it.. Plus I’ll take most any excuse to eat popcorn and chocolate!

And this would be you

They need to make a proper Punisher movie, get Tom Jane back for a start, maybe kick on from his film.

A Hawkeye movie wouldn’t go amiss either.

Marvel are not running out of stories to tell. You don’t realize all of the past story arcs to Iron Man, his villains, how he crosses over with the Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers and many others? It’s not that they’re running out of stories, they just don’t have people with adequate ability to TELL those stories in movie form. Yes, the Extremis virus was neutralized in pepper, she’s not superhuman anymore, as for the shrapnel in Tony’s chest…I’m not sure how they did it NOW when seemingly they could have long ago. Sure, tony blew up the suits at the end but you’d have to think that he does have some other suits in development or IN MIND that were not part of the clean slate protocol. I.e. The Space Iron Man suit he creates in the comics (apply this to the movie world) to go into space after he learned of the requirements and limits after being the in Space at the end of The Avengers. Also Rhode’s War machine suit didn’t blow up. And yes, Iron Man 3, Thor 2, CaptAm 2 and the Guardians of the Galaxy movie are setups and tie-ins to The Avengers 2.

Haha yeah, I understand what you meant and were saying, Ides. The shrapnel was a duality in his life. A metaphor as a constant problem that he’ll have to face and overcome at some point and a physical reminder how fragile the human body really is and how constantly close he is to dying from them. Mere inches from his heart. Yeah, I get it that it’s an attempt to be more normal and there for Pepper, after she had a taste of being superhuman and experiencing the potential of the suits among other traumatic events, and Tony being knocked down to nearly square one and coming back. If I were him I’d probably be thinking and feeling like “Ugh…enough!” As for potential happenings in Guardians and Avengers 2, that sounds…very likely. Knowing Marvel and Joss Whedon.

Yeah, I agree with Skittles. There’s really no need to ‘fix’ Tony Stark’s shrapnel problem. In fact, by treating it as a character flaw that needs to be fixed undermines the existence of the problem in the first place. It’s a symbolic metaphor that even with a heart problem, he still has a heart.

And you know, with the third Iron Man movie, my problem with it isn’t only with the Mandarine, but also the overall pacing of the film. First, there’s the trite villain backstory (The Incredibles’ Syndrome, hello?). Then, there’s rather a lack in character development. From the trailer, I was honestly expecting a character-redemption kind of movie where he questions his own morality like in the second movie (which I liked quite a bit, by the way, despite the poor execution). Instead, I got a ‘fun’ buddy-cop movie that’s supposed to be paying homages to old buddy-cop movies or something, I guess. Yeah, look, Shane, this isn’t Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Lethal Weapon. Please remove your homage-obsessive compulsion from an important instalment like this.
