His character had a great ending, let's leave it at that please.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

I think it's inevitable. The only question is how desperately sad they are by the time they try to wring a few last splashes of cash from the worn-out teat.

Wouldn’t surprise me if like in the comics, he comes back as an AI simulation version of himself to mentor next generation.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Or just alternative universe Tony. We are heading in that direction anyways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Altered Carbon style AI // human integration for immortality isn't overdone yet and more the Stark style, plus they can keep milking Tom Holland and Zydaya or whatever here name is in the storyline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm fine with more Tom and zendaya. I like em both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I wouldn't be unhappy if they stayed in those roles for a few more movies...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Okay, in today's lesson we will go over the topics "how to be born an insanely brilliant billionaire", and "how to weld."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Hollywood: LOL, no.

"Actor says he would enjoy another large paycheck."

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

I too would enjoy another large paycheck.

Moon Knight in Secret Wars: "Somehow, Stark returned."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

God, are we ever getting more Moon Knight? That was a great show.

Follow up question, can we have more Scarlet Scarab, please?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It’s doubtful, since the show wasn’t that well received.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I'm hoping that Ironheart ends up being good and that she fills that need.

The post infinity saga MCU is exciting to me, but the execution has been at best half-hearted and at worst downright terrible.

I want WandaVision episodes 1-8 quality programming, not WandaVision episode 9 and absolutely not Dr Strange 2: This time I'm a mother not a monster boogaloo quality.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Same feelings here and i also wouldn't mind a bit of Loki quality thrown in the mix.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's a good point. I loved the first few Ms Marvel episodes, too.

There's lots of good stuff started, but they feel uncommitted to quality writing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

We're bound to keep getting some hits in-between lots of misses. At least they throw enough money at everything. Some of the series looked better than any of the movies imo. But, yeah, the writing has been all over the place, with a few exceptions.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I see nothing wrong with bringing in an alt universe version. It worked with Gamora. You just have to make sure it's clear that it's an alternate version and they don't just replace the original.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And have that version be the obviously not evil version of the two...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He could be their version of Captain America. Call him something like Iron Patriot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Humm.. isn’t that kang?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'd be happy to do anything for 75+mil too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty willing to do most stuff for $75...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Would you go $50?

"There are only three characters that are never coming back: Bucky Barnes, Jason Todd and Uncle Ben."

- old comic book reader quote

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And it only holds true for Uncle Ben anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they bring him back in madame web?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

He never returns permanently. Bucky and Jason are running around fighting crime.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Probably comic book sacrilege, but I'd like to see him return as a version of Doctor Doom. In this scenario, Doom has already been reveiled with a different actor in a Fantastic Four movie (this will later be handwaved as being in an alternate unverse...) Rumors and spoilers for Robert Downey Jr being in a new marvel movie are deliberatly circulated (e.g. they owe him one more under contract, are just trying to use his name to revive the brand, it will be a flashback, etc.)

Then in a major scene of an avengers like movie. The heros (most of whom had a close relation with Tony Stark) are facing off against Doom. They start giving the usual heroic speech about saving the world and whatnot, critisizing Doom for prioritizing his own nation over the world, when Doom replies with something like "what good is there in saving the world if you have to sacrifice the ones you love" as his iconic Doom mask fractures in a pattern similar to the Ironman mask, and Tony Stark's scarred face is reveiled.

This version of Tony would be from a universe where in the confrontation with Thanos, just as the stones were fusing with Tony's glove, something (obscured and kept from the audience) hit him and he failed. Thanos immediately grabed the stones, snapped, and that universe was destroyed. The residual stone energy in the suit transfered Tony to the main universe where he becomes Doom.

His role in this "phase" would be to force the heros into considering uncomfortable truths, but also to work on a meta level as a commentary on the Marvel movies as a whole. Doom would outright call out (in universe) the same issues fans (and anti-fans) have with the series and nearly break the 4th wall.

There would be an especially tragic scene with Spiderman (forced to confront his hero turned villain.) And a scene with Pepper where she starts off confronting him in hopes of using their emotional connection to create an opening, and in a scene reminiscent to the near kiss from Iron Man 1, there is a brief moment where it seems they might actually fall for each other all over again, then Doom says something like "close, but you are not her" disengages and triggers an action scene.

If Disney had a writer like you their audience engagement wouldn't be tanking. 10/10 would watch or read this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m patiently waiting for it to be revealed that Stark didn’t actually die at the end of Endgame and has been in the Illuminati ever since.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What the f.... Spoiler alert!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's been 5 years. You could have watched it for free by now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago
