Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Not good enough.
He’s Tony Fucking Stark, quite possibly the smartest man on the planet who revolutionized energy technology.
He’s a Goddamn magician of science. Possibly a God or a deity or well something of that level.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."It's just more fun that way. He's Iron Man, you're being given a license to get away with a lot, here. Go a little crazy, even.
I'd like to see the Hulk just WAAAAGH together a spaceship at one point. Just yell at it until it formed itself out of a Sakaaran junkpile.

On the other hand he was stress and tony really do bad stuff when he is stress.
posion heart? a string of bad choices.
PTDS? plenty of armours
Wanda mind vision? he build ultron.
By this train of logic, by the time his child is born, he will build a fucking death star just to release stress.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Nah, Tony will "just" create another super powerful robot as a bodyguard for his kid. Said robot will then become the MCU version of The Fury.
Tony Stark did not build a Death Star. No, he built a goddamn Dyson Sphere
.
Unsung: no, the ening will be this
Cap: we defeat thanos!, now tony, give us the gauntlet to reverse this......
Tony, give us the gauntlet....stop looking like that...tony....nonono-
SNAP!
...roll credits....finall words....we are in iron man 4 now...
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I still think it'd me hilarious if Harley grows up to be Kang.

I assume he did, but only after he mopped the place up. Superhero stories (and action movies, for that matter) tend to feature a certain lack of trust in the capabilities of police to get the job done.

Hmmm. I always forget that scene.
Right there with Cap landing on the grenade, the punch-up he and Bucky had with Tony, the elevator fight in Winter Soldier, Iron Man's first take-off, Thanos beating the snot out of Hulk, and Strange using the Time Stone it's one of the best scenes in the MCU.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!I don't even remember the skydiving scene in IM 3. And honestly, I don't know whether IM 3 is agood Shane Black movie, as I never watched any Shane Black movies other than IM 3, and I honestly don't plan to. For me, IM 3 failed in pretty much every regard, not just as an Iron Man movie.

Tony building a stun gun out of home electronics would be impressive... for someone who wasn't already Tony Stark. As it is it's a bit like Superman dramatically lifting a motorcycle over his head. It's sort of the bare minimum of what you'd expect him to be capable of.
It's not a bad idea to have Tony cobble together some DIY weapons together. It's just a bit of a letdown that they're not more spectacular than what we saw. Knowing he built the first Iron Man suit in a cave out of scrap metal, you kind of want him to at least build some little Batteries Not Included attack drones out of kids' toys or something. Or whatever, something a bit more over the top.
