On that we can agree. That was a case of the second movie being better than the first. Doesn't hurt that he's surrounded by other excellent actors in those movies too

I wouldn't mind The mandarin's rings being some sort of alien or human nanotech, as a movie-speed length way of explaining them. It certainly wouldn't be a stretch, with all that they have set up in the movie universe so far.

Especially as Stark starts using the Extremis-type stuff in the movie. If he can make his armor fly onto his body from off the floor, the Mandarin can have near-magical rings. Shrug.

I'm still laughing about this.

You know who I want to see in a Marvel film sometime...



I know a movie of his own is hard to justify to the bean counters... but he'd make a great foil to a marvel hero.

I also like Death's Head. There was am American version when I was a teenager - he killed off the UK version. This is when everything was super grimdarker. Wikipedia says he didn't stay dead, as is the superhero's wont.

I seriously don't even know if that's a factor anymore... I understand there is supposed to be a Guardians of the Galaxy movie...

American Death's Head was crappy, he looked entirely different and utterly lacked Death's Head's sense of humor.

Also the original British one was amazing, he beat the crap out of Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, murdered shockwave and traveled back in time to kill megatron.

And he scored a fairly honorable draw against The Hulk.

My bigger worry at the moment is this.. not sure who could replace him if I'm honest.

Yeah that's a bigger problem. He's got to at least do Avengers 2, right?
