It strikes at the core of what makes us human: nobody likes getting out of bed earlier than they expected to.
It's too bad they've shied away from booze hound Stark, then the could have just cut in some Less Than Zero.
But in Futurama and Idiocracy, people sleep past their wake up time and trouble ensues.
Now I want a movie where one passenger wakes up late and discovers everyone has moved on with their lives.
Throw in a few of the interactions from the comics where Rocket points out that Tony is essentially an ignorant savage from a backwater planet (while casually disassembling and rebuilding tech Tony can’t yet wrap his head around) and I will probably leave the theater with a smile that lasts a few days.

I was feeling really bummed today, then i saw this. ahahahahaha thanks!
Funny enough, that’s exactly what I thought!
He’s not really succeeding in making me not want to watch it.
That scene, and pre-“Finn” FN-whatever talking to himself as he’s helping Poe escape, were the two most obvious examples of the movie basically taking Robot Chicken’s “Gary the Stormtrooper” schtick and just running with it. To the extent it almost feels like Seth Green, Matt Senreich, and Donald Faison should’ve had…
“Donald Duck freakout” is the perfect way to describe his rage-a-hol. I love it.
like the analogy to Donald Duck. Hadn’t thought of that.
I thought that was great too. Lots of fans were saying he looked like a Vader wannabe... but that’s what he is in-universe too.
The best shot of the movie is when he’s pitching a fit and two stormtroopers come around the corner, hear/see the rage, and just turn around. It spoke hilarious volumes on how much they baby/indulge this little tryhard wannabe vs. the badass motherfucker he clearly wants to be seen as.
I totally agree. I watched it again last night, and I love that the first time he takes off his helmet, he’s just a regular person. Not a monster, not scarred (yet), not anything but a screwed-up young person dealing with a lot of internal anger and a lot of people trying to tear him in every which way because of how…
What fascinates me is that he’s being seduced by the light side. Which is something I've never seen done.
I kind of love that though. Kylo Ren is unlike any Star Wars villain we’ve had in the past, this weirdly impotent, angry young man who is enraged that his legacy, his destiny (the most powerful concept in Star Wars, after all, is prophecy and fate), has been denied to him.
Now, see, to me this plays as him trying too hard. He’s overcompensating in a really morbid way, using this to say, “Look at me! See how evil I am! Dudes, so fuckin’ evil over here!!! Guys? Anyone?”
