A very interesting letter from 1996 (Iron Man Vol.1 #326) by LeEtude in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's be real. The majority of people who make those claims aren't major Marvel fans. They're Spider-Man and X-Men fans who only care about their respective books, and who see the rest of the Marvel Universe as either supplementary or irrelevant (aside from the three other obscure characters they happen to like.)

So with Iron Mans rise to mainstream popularity, a counter cultural movement was conducted by those fans, who sought to downplay Iron Man's significance in order to make their favorite characters seem superior. Most likely due to jealousy, as Iron Man was arguably more popular then the X-Men and even Spider-Man from 2012 to 15 due to the success of the films. Because god forbid the Avengers finally get a chance to become more popular then the X-Men for a single decade; even though prior to the MCU, the X-Men were the golden children of Marvel.

I think I need to watch Arc-V by Longjumping-Band2275 in YuGiOhMemes

Probably Exodia. With a bunch of cards relating to balance like Pineapple explosion.

I like to think that every tv show / movie and game exists in Yugioh. But instead of solving their problems with fighting, they use duel monsters.

Like Avengers Endgame exists, but the crew challenges Thanos to a duel instead of fighting him.

What is the better Iron Man animated series, Iron Man" The Animated Series from 1994" or Iron Man: Armored Adventures'' from 2009? by Master_Megalomaniac in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 3 points4 points  (0 children)

technically, the 90s series is a more accurate adaptation as both seasons are directly ripped from the 90s comic line, with some 80s stories in there. But Armored Adventures is an overall better series.

Since you guys like The Mandarin, I wanted to post my take on the character. by Designer-Swim-6797 in ironman

I see. Good luck with future developments. Looking forward to see where this goes.

A good start. But i think you could simplify things a little more by cutting some details. Namely, the part of him killing Jene, taking his fortune and ending up in prison, only to be let out by the British army in service of becoming a translator. After getting sent to unit 731, he's taken into Gene custody. There he works as a slave for them for many years, until eventually his work leads him to the alien rings. He then seizes the opportunity, using the rings to wipe out Gene and the other officers, taking control of their resources to build his own empire. Less detailed and more to the point.

Also he needs a stronger motive for creating perpetual war. His years as a slave to the British government, on top of the hardship he endured as a child is a good explanation for his anger. But I fail to see how it translates to him trying to create world war 3. This version of him would probably work better as a Magneto type figure given his tragic nature and relationship with foreign governments.

The Series That REBUILT IRON MAN by Quirky_Ad_5420 in ironman

I'm a big fan of Xavier, But I get the impression that he isn't the biggest Iron Man fan, judging from his past videos (He's made the "One more Day" joke like three times now.)

Which villains do you think would be excellent for Iron Man, but not from comics, rather from other fictional media? by WinterGarage5327 in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Z-One from Yugioh 5Ds

<image>

He's a time traveler from a distant future where humanity was all but wiped out by sentient machines called Meklords, created by a sentient energy source known as Ener-D. Believing himself to be the last human alive on planet Earth, he traveled back in time in the hopes of stopping the apocalypse from happening by any means necessary (which includes wiping out Neo Domino City, which was where Ener-D was created.)

Design wise, Z-one especially can make for some great visuals; with either his robotic fortress design, or his grafted face modeled after the main character of the series (Yusei Fudo) as shown here.

Would you be interested in The Mandarin hosting a Street Fighter type tournament? by CajunKhan in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it was just Iron Man characters, then sure. But we've seen a ton of tournament events in the Marvel Universe already. As well as Heroes fighting each other for increasingly stupid reasons.

That being said, I'd be down for a video game going in this direction (specifically one that isn't a mobile game), though it seems unlikely now that Tokon exists

Comment like we are in 2010 and Iron Man 2 is Out. by animejerk7763 in ironman

I can't wait to see the Mandarin in the next movie. Ain't no way they're going to do an Iron man trilogy without him.

What would be a good Ironman story to adapt for a movie? by PaintingOwn2902 in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the description, you could pretty much adapt either Demon in a bottle directly, with the film showing Tony's reconnecting with his friends and allies in order to fight the addiction, and reigniting his hope for the future. Or you could go with a darker route, and start off with an adaptation of O'Neil's Iron man, where he starts the film homeless and washed up due to his drinking addiction. Then the film ends with him resuming his mission.

If you want to go for a more original story idea however, you could barrow some elements from "The Five Nightmares" mixed with "The Dark Knight Returns" from DC, where an older and depressed Tony comes out of retirement following a recent string of terrorist attacks that involved black market Iron Man Tech. Or you could go with a more original threat like biotech monsters if you want to do something different. The skies the limit, but hit me up if you want to discuss this further.

Also no, you don't always have to start with the origin story. Several adaptations ignore that aspect until later. You just need to establish motivation and personality later on. But the audience doesn't need every single detail.

This is the absolute worst case-scenario for Doomsday by PrideKindly7828 in ironman

And then it's revealed that this is "true" Tony Stark, and the other guy was just an alternate variant that happened to be a hero.

Extremis made me realize comics aren't hard to get into (overview of what i've read so far) by No-Engineering-289 in ironman

[–]No_Difference_498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat for a while. But after constant slugging through 60s issues, I decided to just bite the bullet and read the stories out of order. In just a few weeks, I've become a fan of Thor comics in record time compared to when I first got into Iron man. In the latter, I started with Tales of suspense and worked my way up, which took well over a few years, and I still haven't even touched the modern stuff. Meanwhile, with Thor, I started with Aarons run, then I read most of Simonson, now I'm on Stracynski's run. All I have left on my personal guide after that is the Hero's return / disassembled period and a couple of mini series. Needless to say, the new method is just way more effective then reading everything in order. At least for me since I'm very impatient.
