Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 13 March 2011

Hello and welcome to the weekly [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman/[community profile] cap_ironman newsletter.

In case you've missed it elsewhere, there's fandom auctions to benefit Japan currently ongoing: [livejournal.com profile] help_japan, [community profile] help_japan and [livejournal.com profile] fandomaid. I haven't had a chance to look through for Marvel stuff, but I'm sure it's there.

Mostly ramping up to Fear Itself in terms of news these days. However there's been a few rumours about the Avengers script flying around. Here's some fun plot speculation (Possible Spoilers, and Cap casting spoilers if you scroll down).

What are you all reading for Steve'n'Tony comics? I'm quite liking Iron Man 2.0 (seems like we should be keeping an eye on that Nick Spencer chap) and some of the Steve one shots.


[livejournal.com profile] brummel posted an intro and wrote Anniversary
[livejournal.com profile] bethany_cabe wrote What Have The Vikings Ever Done For Us?

[livejournal.com profile] hohaiyee posted a cracktastic and NSFW scan of Iron Man from the '80s.
[livejournal.com profile] dinahqueen posted a link to Meowvel vs Catcom

Finally, if you're a new or recent member, hello and welcome! Our rules are here, and in the profile; this includes our warnings policy, so please read. If you're interested in the ship, you may want to read the Ship Manifesto, and consult the list of Slashy Moments (Now at one hundred and fifty moments). If you're planning to write for the comm, there are some tips on writing the pairing here, and the Avengers in general here; if you're having trouble finding a beta, or would like to offer your services as a beta, our beta list is here. If you're looking for the comm archive, it's Tales of Suspense, and it's automated - you can create an account and upload your fic. If you're looking for a particular story, why not try [livejournal.com profile] cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me, [livejournal.com profile] garrideb and [livejournal.com profile] valtyr.

And feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please.

Off topic, but geeky still: I love the Shatner quote at the very end of the plot speculation link. Oh, Shatty, you're the best.

I'm looking at the cast list

...and they have a rumoured role for Maria Hill, but no The Wasp? Black Widow sounds cool but why is she first listed when she wasn't even close to the original avengers? ??????

I saw Iron Man I, and I don't want to see II because they replaced Terrence Howard, I swear if Wasp is written out I will just see the intro movie with Steve and Ignore the rest!

Unless Steve and Tony make out, maybe.

What is going on here, I keep posting before I'm finished?

ARGH.

Anyways, Howard's Rhodey was the one who pulled Tony out of the desert, that's, really emotional, so change is not something I can accept in this case.

Dude, that desert scene, was soooo believable, that they were longtinme friends, they way Rhodey couldn't take his eyes off Tony...and did you see the extras scene with General Gabriel? Like, when Rhodey was questioned over whether he is going to go on another desert combing flight for a friend that went missing 3 months ago? So emotional.

I try watching Cheadle, I was several seconds into that clip where they were on a plane and something funny is suppose to be going on, but I can't even watch beyond that, because dude, he does not have the presence.

I agree. Cheadle!Rhodey had some good chemistry with Tony, and I liked that he was so protective of Tony, even if it was very understated. I wasn't too thrilled with the cast change at first either, but it was still a great movie!
