Iron Man 2: New Trailer
War Machine
Iron Man 2 looks to be a very promising movie. What we have is not only more Iron Man, which is what every superhero movie needs to focus on – which is simply showing more of the hero in his suit, doing his thing, but a whole bunch of Iron Man type guys, including War Machine!
Who’s War Machine? James Rhodes, the black military dude, took over as Iron Man when Tony relapsed into alcoholism and eventual (comic book) death. When Tony came back and became Iron Man again, Rhodes then donned the silver Iron Man armor, placed a mini-gun and rocket launcher on the
War Machine
back, and presto… became War Machine!
Black Widow, Natalia Romanova, also known as Natasha Romanoff, a Russian secret agent/assassin, is also making an appearance, played by Scarlett Johansson! Rawrrrrr!! She was sent to the U.S. to recruit Hawkeye but eventually defected to the U.S. team.
This movie is going to be awesome!
Black Widow
The crappy looking animated series, which appears to be a take on the WB big-jawed, 2D animation, is just a step backwards in what’s considered, “good art.” Come on, yeah, we love the Avengers and I’m sure the story line is right on the money (.. pray.. hope) but enough of this Hannah Barbera art already! Seriously, this simpleton art is like… from the 60s and is only done to save money. Yeah, we’re in bed with Marvel and DC. And Yeah we love Spidey, Iron Man, Bats and Superman. And who could say “No” to Wonder Woman or Scarlet Witch, or Black Widow… Rawrrrrr, for that matter? Regardless… someone just has to say, “NO! GIVE US BETTER ART!”
Not that we can really do anything about it, but still. Take a look-see at a simple comparison between “bad art” and “good art.” Looking at the WB style, you have the Fred Flintstone type of thing going on, where the artists used to paint a picture of Fred’s body and then rotate between 3-4 different images for the mouth and legs to give the impression that Fred was actually saying something or moving from one place to the other, like from the bowling alley to Barney’s place.. while Barney’s at work.
Seriously, this is maybe one step forward in the “can do” direction because you can see a little reflection on Bats’ and Supes’ undies… see that little blue and red stripe? That’s skill baby! Quality work.
going to go on about Thor. … note two-tone hair color, another reflection on his shiny, conditioned hair. Thunder gods use Head & Shoulders.
