Ehhh...just hire Ken Watanabe to be the Mandarin and play him as a smart but evil godfather type figure and you're good to go.
This movie looks good assuming it doesn't overload with supervillians. If Sherlock Holmes turns out to be good RDJ may become my new goto actor.

There is so much silly or borderline racist baggage with the Mandarin Just be glad the Avengers won't be facing the Yellow Claw.  |

Fin Fan Foon? or whatever the space dragon was called would go over well with the public.
Fin Fang Foom will be appearing alongside Iron Man soon, and under the direction of Jon Favreau, but in print, not the big screen. Favreau's currently on a haitus from writing Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas (with Adi Granov illustrating, he of Iron Man: Extremis/Iron Man movie concept design fame) while finishing up Iron Man 2. |

The women all seem to have the same face. It's like that's the only kind of female face the artist could draw or something and hair style and color is the only way to differentiate them. And the face on the second female is just off... her whole head is off actually, or it seems to be. Even accounting for the viewing angle and those bad bangs she's got, the top of her head is too small.
I like the technique of the art though, and the execution. But that can't hide the problems I see with the drawing itself.

Yeah that cover art is bad, I can't even watch this trailer though. I fucking refuse to put quicktime on my computer and I'd hate to fuck with the delicate balance of my codecs by trying to shoehorn in something that reads .mov files.

If I can't download the true 1080p version I might as well not spoil it.  |

Not a new idea though. I have back issues from '79 showing the suitcase.  (maybe it was just that one- been a while) |

The Iron Man suit in the briefcase has been around for a long time. I think it's pretty awesome myself, although i kind of wish they hadn't of shown it in the trailer.

Oh I forgot about the briefcase. Some IM fan I am! Movie version bothers me a bit, as the suit that comes out is bigger than the briefcase itself. Yes, I know this is science fantasy, but it's always the little things that bug me, not the millionaire flying around in a powersuit.

I think they handled it rather well, seeing as how the suitcase suit seems to be Ironman Lite and is constructed of hundreds of small foldaway overlapping plates.

Yeah, the great thing about iron man and the "portable-quick-suit" thing is they can skip 90% of the bulk commonly associated with a sci-fi power armor suit due to the "uber tech gimmik" that is the power core imbedded in his chest. I mean, hell, with stark's level of technology, I am surprised he doesent just wear a metal cloth-mesh suit that becomes nearly bulletproof when "enegrised" by his personal reactor. |

In the comics, he recently had a thing where the suit's essentially became him, and the external armor was protection and padding - all the important bits were a part of his body.

Besides one security guard with a gun nailing Whiplash out of range of his attacks? Oh, that'd never work. I forgot about movie / comic book logic and the rule of cool. |

Extremis, which went away along with Tony's brain, which has now been rebooted to before he was in charge of SHIELD and responsible for Cap being arrested and then assassinated. Man I can't wait for this movie so I can have my memories of comicbook stuff erased in favour of RDJ. |

I'm fairly certain Whiplash didn't give a fuck about living or dying, as long as he killed Stark first. Have to wait for the movie to be certain though. Besides the general "Who wants to be a cop/security guard in a world full of super villains?" thing. |

If we want to go into full geek detail, just how many security guards would there be at an F-1 race? Also would they even 'have' guns? All these things aside I am going to say the events at the track from whiplash showing up to donning the iron man suit probably take place in the span of ten minutes real time.

1.) Its a major event, there would be plenty of security guards around. 2.) This is America, everybody is packing. Even the security guards walking around at the horse race track I went to last weekend were all armed. |
