Forget the fat lady. You're obsessed with fat lady.

Welcome to Earth!

I keep coming back to this comment and laughing in a way that a simple upvote doesn't convey. Well done :D

Doom burned his own face. The explosion just gave him a scratch. He then intentionally burned the rest of it off by putting his mask on fresh from the forge because the perfection of his face was already ruined by the scratch.

That…is a journal of madness. It's what insanity looks like. Dear lord.

Well yeah, I wasn't denying that part :)

It seemed like they were going in the Demon in a Bottle direction in the stand-alone Iron Man movies, especially the second one, but then they just kinda left it alone. He'll just stay a high-functioning alcoholic instead of losing control of it, I guess.

No, I mean, he was literally a thug until he won a sports scholarship to college. He led a street gang and everything. He's always been a guy who thinks with his fists. That's why his battle-cry is basically "It's time to hit people!"

Not at all. It's more "no one should have to hide who they are" just using super-powers instead of an actual real world social cause. The villain literally sends a giant murder robot to destroy a city at the end, solely so he can show up and save the day and get the masses to praise him as their savior. He has no…

I'd say that Demon in a Bottle is a much more defining arc for the character than Armor Wars, if only because I had forgotten all about Armor Wars until you mentioned it.

They'd have to collaborate with Marvel studios so the villains of the movie could be the Council of Cross-Time Kangs.

The villain was a murderer who was going to use those devices to set himself up as a king, THEN start distributing the devices to the unwashed masses as a fuck-you to the hero. You may have missed some dialogue.

I must have missed the three hour filibuster in the movie, was it after the credits?

How about The Incredibles?

The weird thing about this is that the Thing actually is supposed to be brooding and depressed most of the time, particularly in the early years before he gets over it. He's just also supposed to be a thug who deals with his emotions by getting into fights.

It was an all-year blockbuster. It stayed in theaters until like the next October. It kept coming BACK to theaters that whole time, as well, as the buzz about how great it was doing continued to bring in new audiences.

Science Hitler is the worst of the Council of Inter-dimensional Hitlers by far. Nobody wants him leading the Fantastic Four.

Google Books has been a godsend when I need to source my information. So long as I can remember the precise phrasing the book used, something I'm pretty good at, a simple Google search takes me right to a scanned copy that I can immediately link into a discussion or cite as a reference.

I love American Pickers because I would love to do what they do, just rummage through barns full of stuff that a family has collected over generations and see what neat things are there.
