cap_ironman | Trailer for upcoming series

With the whole Rhodey (so where's the black girl?) and Stark's dad being alive thing. I'll just consider this 1616 canon, and even then, it's dodgy cannon. But if it gets the children to read the comics, and expands the character to a younger audience, that's good, I guess? I have a fear that the comic book will die out when us older folk do.

I'm rather torn, because there's already going to be a new Avengers cartoon (with Ironman as the leader. LOL! I love Stark, but him leading over Captain America? Hahahahahahahaha.... no), and I really don't want Stark to be over exposed. Another reason why I'm rather stink eye at this cartoon is the whole Mandarin thing, because Mandarin is powerful, and boy! Stark taking him on? No.

But I'm glad that there's some Daddy issues in this cartoon. Stark wouldn't be Stark without said issues, you know?

Nope. Still does not compute.

Teenage!Tony?! And wtf Mandarin!?

Daddy Stark is "alive"?! Arc reactor?! WTF!?!?

I can't help but feel that this is A Bad Idea on Marvel's part.

LOL.

Well someone has been reading too much Ultimate Iron Man, me thinks.

No, I kid. The animation is pretty good, and, well, yay for new market, but I'll always be doubtful of teen!clean-shaved!Tony. Because that's just wrong. (And what would Tony be without him sleeping his way through the Marvel universe?!)

I saw the first episode of this - it came with my copy of the movie.

It was unwatchable. Absolutely painful. So bad, in fact, that I turned it off and watched the old school cartoon. It was THAT bad.

I dearly hope the new Avengers cartoon is radically different >

I lasted five minutes into the pilot episode when it aired last week.

Five minutes was all I could take. SO.SO.BAD.

...America, I could've sworn we'd had the talk about attempting to capture the youth market with a generic, badly-made, badly-written, anime knockoff, i.e. that you shouldn't, because it results in...well, among other things, in creating a generic teen hero who has none of the character traits that make Tony Stark memorable. (Characterization: learn you some.) Man, I could do better than this!

I also saw the first episode of this on the Iron Man dvd. This looks like a cold POS.

Kid!Tony just doesn't work for me... he doesn't have enough life experience to make the Iron Man gesture believable if he's just some kid with some toys.

Marvel. X-Men Evolution was horrible. This is also going to be horrible. Stop it!

Oh, man, I don't know. I try to give new things a chance, I really do, but out of all the old-school Marvel superheroes out there, Iron Man seems like the worst possible candidate for a kid-friendly reboot. Pretty much everything that makes the character interesting depends on him being an adult, with an adult's flaws and problems.

This clip looks and sounds as if somebody stuck Spider-Man into Iron Man's armor, which is just wrong...

That trailer was pretty fun, but I saw part of the episode they shipped in the DVD set and it was eye-gouging. I couldn't hack it and turned it off.

Anyway, Tony's backstory is a big part of the appeal for me, so Teen!Tony gives me the meh. If I wanted to read about a totally different person, I'd slog through Ulimate Iron Man. Which nothing on earth can make me do.

(Wow, bitch, bitch, bitch. ;) I should mind my manners and thank you for posting the clip. I did enjoy watching it. :D)

Hey, there, OP! It's you! :D I snagged one of the Tony icons you posted on that 100 page a while back. It's very pretty!

(I credit you in the comments and I credit you here. Thank you! :D)

The fact that Tony Stark is so young however, just makes everything that much more disturbing. Spiderman can't help but have the power he have, and after Uncle Ben, what he does is therapeutic.

Here, we have a child soldier...why isn't Howard doing something about this? His son doesn't have any superpowers and can and should live a normal life for now.

Looks very cool.

OH i had NIGHTMARES!

It hurts to look at....

Why does Marvel do things like this? Is it because they want to hurt me?

I want to know why Marvel thinks it is okay to do stupid s*** like this. Seriously...What. The. Eff.

Also, is this supposed to be a movie, or a tv series of some sort?

i'm yay and blah at the same time, it's odd.

This is more Orson Scott Card's Ultimate iron man than 616 one
