There's a scene in the trailer cut to look like she's inside some kind of torture device. But later they show 8 soldier-looking men in similar devices, like some kind of armor fitting stations. I get the feeling the movie will be a lot less grim than the trailers suggest. Hopefully they give Pepper the pink armor.

The IGN article (actual movie spoilers) confirms she gets to be in a suit for a short time during the mansion attack. No idea if she gets to do it again at the end of the film

I meant of quality equal to his song from The Muppets, mind you. I've also never heard anything from the Spider-Man musical so I can't say whether there's anything of value there.

There is one, and only one thing that I want to happen in Iron Man IV and that is Pepper Potts having her own suit and fighting as a badass. You cold give me Demon in a Bottle, you could give me Avengers 2: Bigger and Better, you could give me anything and it would not satisfy me as a viewer in the same way that Pepper getting her own armor and becoming a hero would. I think in Iron Man III rumors confirm that Pepper apparently gets to wear one of Tony's suits for at least a brief moment, but that isn't enough. Not nearly enough. Empower some goddamn women, Marvel.

I was getting kind of an Edward R. Murrow vibe from his performance. I can't really figure out how that could possibly factor in to his character, but there it is.

Isn't a huge part of her getting a suit in the comics it not having any combat abilities. As in, she didn't want to kick rear end, her super-hero name was Rescue.

I'm starting to feel like the only person who cannot stand Kingsley's faux-ethnic accent. I guess this is how the people pissing about Bane's voice felt. I really hope I end up as wrong as they were, and that it turns out to actually be mostly alright.

Yeah, it's sounding to me like Pepper in Iron Man 3 wears an armor to escape the mansion destruction, which delays Tony in escaping because he has to suit her up. Then she gets captured and rather than getting to wear a suit again gets Extremis, which in this version of the storyline is basically a nano-tech version of the super soldier serum. I know the above is speculation, but it's incorporated some pretty big spoilers from various sources, so I thought I'd play it safe for folks.

It almost sounds Native American in the sort of sing song way they're described as having. Also, having Kingsley be Osama Bin Laden but with Aviators is the best costume decision.

So is this rumor true that the movie is going to be so "grounded" that the Mandarin won't even be using his rings? I sure hope not.

If you go frame by frame in 1080P you can see the head lock on mid fall. When I originally saw it I thought he was trying to jump on something else, not into something.

Why bother limiting the Mandarin's powers to being grounded when Iron Man lives in a reality inhabited by loving aliens from space and Norse gods?

Yeah, just because the other Avengers characters make that a potential excuse doesn't mean the first two Iron Man movies would've been better off with those sorts of elements. Iron Man 1 and 2 had villains who were essentially just smart (?) dudes with money and resources and they're generally sticking to that it seems. Mandarin seems like he's have some endearing eccentricities to be memorable and fit well without needing to shoot beams out of his fingers. Although if any scenes/post-credit teasers involve Guardians of Galaxy or other space adventures,, magic rings from a crashed spaceship might facilitate that.

Eh. I'm not a fan of Shane Black's treatment of the Mandarin, really. This character doesn't really sound like The Mandarin at all, just a brand new character that only shares the name with the comics character. It's like, for instance, taking Green Goblin, taking away his glider and gadgets and corporate background and just making him a smart and strong street thug that hates Spiderman because he didn't have to 'work' for his power. Could that Green Goblin still be a good, interesting character and foil for Spiderman? Sure - and I'm sure Shane Black's Mandarin will be an interesting character and foil for Iron Man. But it feels like this could hardly be further removed from the Mandarin of the comics - the Mandarin of the comics is not realistic in the slightest, with his alientech rings and Chi-based, do-anything Kung Fu. Trying to make him realistic is about as useful as trying to make realistic Guardians of the Galaxy; they're characters that are going to be campy (which isn't a bad thing!) unless you change them to the point of unrecognizability, at which point you might as well just make brand new characters.

He looks like one of the dwarves from The Hobbit. Like, literally, I'm not going to be surprised if he comes at Tony with throwing axes in the climax. e: Anyway the comic book Mandarin is a ridiculously out-of-date racist caricature and they need to stay as far away from it as possible. I'm kind of shocked they're using the name "Mandarin" in the film at all.

Wasn't Norman still a great villain even after he stopped being the Goblin? He's more defined by being insane now, I think.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Mandarin is a dogshit character nobody cares about. Yeah, I don't know much about Iron Man villains but a Chinese stereotype who uses rings from a space dragon's UFO doesn't seem that marketable to me, so I see why Marvel is scaling him back. From the new trailer he seems a lot like the comic book version of Ra's Al Ghul, which is fine by me.

If Pacific Rim is a success, I hope Iron Man 4 goes copycat and features the construction of a giant Iron Man suit with which Stark battles Fin Fang Foom.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:You also have to remember that before the Iron Man movie came out, nobody cared about Iron Man, either. That's true, but Iron Man's appeal is easy to see even outside the films; he's a brilliant, wealthy playboy who uses high-tech armor to fight bad guys. It's a simple concept that works. The Mandarin is really a character who can only exist in comic books unless you bring him down to earth a little bit. I mean, villains like Gorilla Grodd can be fun but they don't really fit into films like Iron Man 3, because seeing them on the page and seeing them on the screen are entirely different.
