Marvel Confessions

Confession #2316

"I despise all the people that didn't like the fact that Tony Stark was barely in an armor in Iron Man 3. It was a great plot device which helped us answer Captain America's question: "Take [the suit] away and what are you?", not to mention there has been numerous times in the comics in which Tony Stark had to relieve in his wits rather than his armors, like during the "Demon in a Bottle" or "World's Most Wanted" storylines."

Confession #2308

"It would of made more sense and better if in the end credits of Iron Man 3 instead of Tony telling Bruce (who can blame him for falling asleep) that instead it shows Hank Pym offering Tony a chance to work on Ultron."

Confession #2275

"I prefer the Iron Man 3 depiction of the Mandarin (the asian-style terrorist being a cover-up for the true mastermind, Aldrich) than the comic book depiction"

Confession #2271

"I'm just baffled that neither Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D did not even attempt to save the president in Iron Man 3. You'd think that the leader of the free world being captured by terrorists that the symbol of America and the leader of SHIELD would be all over this."

Confession #2200

"Just got my Iron Man 3 DVD and I can't wait to watch it. It's like a textbook on how a work can subvert a viewer's expectations in a smart clever way. Is it completely loyal to the comic? No. But it's an incredibly intelligent clever film. Also is it too much to ask that Trevor Slattery somehow makes his way into Earth 616?"

A Character You Relate To And Why

"I relate to Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies, mostly in 3. 1, because I have anxiety attacks, and 2 because we both have that one person we can't live without."

Confession #2144

"I think Ben Kingsley's character should of been Mandarin period and should of kept with the terrorist angle and either Aldrich Killian was hired to create the Extremis or he has the ten rings and has a badass fight with Iron Man, not easily beaten by Pepper."

Confession #2062

"People who think The Mandarin was racist in the comics? Yes because white washing him and using the chinese features for the stupid ass actor subplot is SUCH a great change"

Confession #2016

"people need to get over the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. the original character is pretty racist character so to him properly would be inappropriate"

Confession #1997

"In my humble opinion i felt Iron Man 3 was made for people that don't like superhero movies."

Confession #1974

"Iron Man 3 was literally the worst movie I saw this year."

Confession #1244

"I read that someone said thought The Amazing Spider-Man films were turning into rip offs of the Ultimate Spider-Man comic series because of the scientific approach. I don't understand how you could say that. Doesn't that mean every superhero movie is a rip off of the comic? Origin stories are rip offs. IronMan 3 is a rip off of IronMan Extremis. None of these movies are rip offs since they've already happened to the hero. They're just versions of stories we already love brought to the screen!"

Confession #906

"I don't understand why people hate on IM3 so much. I can understand people's frustration with what they did with the Mandarin (although I didn't personally mind it), and there was far more Tony Stark than there was Iron Man, but you can't deny that it had great character development, a well paced and relatively in-depth plot, and was damn hilarious. They may have "butchered" your favorite Iron Man villain, but understand that the MCU is different from the comics."

Confession #903

"I really like the character development of Tony Stark after the events of New York in IM3; like the reactions of Tony after he hears anything related to NYC."

Confession #895

"I can't stand when people complain about the movie version of the Mandarin. They changed him from a racist caricature to a rich white American guy. IM3 is one of very few action movies without a foreign bad guy!"

Confession #870

"I think Iron man 3 was a really bad movie in every way"

Confession #861

"Iron Man is my favorite super hero, but I was very disappointing with the movie series compared to the earth 616 comic books. They royally screwed up the Mandarin and that upset me."
