IRON. MAN. TWO.

[usullusa]

YOU GUYS. IRON MAN. I CAME SO HARD. ahslkjdfhalkjsdfaskj
This is mostly an incoherent reaction-to-the-movie entry. Comments may contain spoilers. Please tell me what you thought or just keyboard smash incoherently. Both are fine.



THE SHIELD. HSADLFJSFD
I want to know why it's all half dismantled and obviously not one piece of metal. Also, did Tony just invent Vibranium?

The movie had such massive Demon in a Bottle overtones. Tony wasn't exactly a raging alcoholic (although movie!verse Tony clearly still has a drinking problem), but it was definitely zeroing in on his self-destructive excesses.

I love frightened, plaintive Tony. He tries so hard to do right by Pepper and perpetually fails. I think she is the only person who can cow him.

The bit with Howard Stark's model was excessive. And I called that "the secret" was hidden in the map a good ten minutes beforehand and I called that it was going to be a new element soon after that. I am really bad at predicting things in movies. This must mean it was way too obvious. At least there was that touching moment with Howard.

Mickey Rourke's Russian was atrocious. Almost unintelligible. Probably not the case for non-Russian speakers but it threw me out of the movie every time he said something in "Russian".

But mostly: AHslJDHALSJFDS RDJ. Tony Tony Tony, you crazy, self-involved party boy. And yet you are the exact opposite. How does that even work?
Insert unintelligible flailing regarding Pepper and Black Widow here. Natasha needed WAY more scenes than she got. I heard she had more but they got cut. Sad times.

THE ONE-LINERS. I WISH TO QUOTE THIS ENTIRE MOVIE VERBATIM

Did they really play Robot Rock? Why, yes they did.
I'M ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELLLL

:KLJSLGKHJFJKGHFDLKJGHDFKLJG KJLFHG SO GOOD AAAAAAAAH.

I was shipping Pepper and Natasha so hard, but also Pepper and Happy, and also Tony and Rhodey, but mostly Tony/his sense of humour, and aaaaah it was hilarious and entertaining and HERE LET ME SPAZ INCOHERENTLY AT YOU, IT'S 3 AM AND I HAVE TO WRITE A SCRIPT BUT I'M ON LJ INSTEAD.

also I was totally wondering that, about Vibranium. also the shield aslkjdskgfs SUCH PERFECT BALANCE. Tony's gonna fix it and give it back to Cap and Cap's gonna be all WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THIS and Tony'll be all GREAT NOW MY ATOM SMASHER DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

It is physically impossible to get anything done after two hours of that level of AMAZING. I know because I tried.

TONY/HIS SENSE OF HUMOR IS MY OTP. Also Tony had sexual tension with EVERYTHING. He had sexual tension with INANIMATE OBJECTS.
Actually, everyone had sexual tension with everyone. It is now part of my head canon that Pepper and Natasha hooked up while Tony was off imploding.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE BUILT A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR IN HIS GARAGE.
He would say that. And then sulk like a small child not because he cares but because he likes the attention.

YEAH SO DID I. IT DIDN'T GO SO WELL. sleeping didn't work out either.

YES MINE TOO. AND IT IS SUCH A GRATIFYING SHIP, TOO. and he really did. The weird pendulum sculpture? Oh hell yes.
But yes. Pepper and Natasha definitely hooked up. IT'S CANONICALLY PLAUSIBLE. NATASHA DIGS BOTH CHICKS AND REDHEADS.

I KNOW RIGHT. I was like, he's not gonna, no way, AND THEN HE DID, AND HE USED CAP'S SHIELD, AND HE ACCELERATED SOME PARTICLES ALL RIGHT 8D
and then there would be witty banter!sulking and Cap would verbally deliver the smackdown and Pepper would be all OKAY WE'RE KEEPING HIM.

The movie was awesome!!
Natasha, however, cannot fight. Omg. Flying crotch attack does not work, and you cannot do half the things she did and have them work. At all. Oh well, hotness covered it ok.

And, yes, the map being the design was really really obvious. Didn't pick up on the atom, though.

My reaction in short:
music, good. tech, good. robot fighting, awesome. Happy fighting, good. Natasha fighting, pathetically wrong but hot. villain believability, good. villain intelligence, awesome. physics mistakes, almost ignorable (aka good enough).
SO MUCH FUN.

totally going again Saturday. and Sunday night. :)

Shutup. Natasha was so freaking hot that it was okay. I'm having a hard time being outraged at Ton'y blatant sexual harassment because UNF.

He built. A particle accelerator. In his garage. What.

I love that AC/DC is the unofficial band for the Iron Man movies.

TONY STARK BUILT THIS PARTICLE ACCELERATOR IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

EEE EEE EEE EEE

so i know the plot was full of ridiculousness (and yes, everybody in the entire world called the secret being hidden in the map like 10-15 minutes beforehand) but the script was SO FULL OF WIN. The scene where he bumps into the journalist from the first movie again at the party...oh, my god i nearly died laughing. also, the first scene with natasha in the boxing thing where tony is like *maneuvers* and pepper is like *WHACK* was SO well done.

i also loved SO MUCH the moment were tony's dad was like "I want to show you all...my ass" and you're like "OMG YOU ARE TONY STARK'S FATHER" and OMG the daddy issues everywhere good lord.

ALSO: i think it is a new rule of life that everyone wants to sleep with tony stark. that is all.

THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT TONY'S DAD. NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TONY GETS IT FROM. That was one of my favorite character development moments.

Even God has a crush on Tony Stark.
