I love Iron Man.
Tony Stark is the kinda badboy/badass/assbandit that I want on my team! He’s self depricating, smart, rich, and an alcoholic, so at some point he would probably be drunk enough to sleep with me just about anything with a pulse . Yes, I too would like to be a Pepper.
It kinda helps that Robert go down Downey Jr. starred as the Vodka hottie in the film adaptation, but aside from that the character is quite the Anti-Hero.
And why does that anit-matter? you ask. Well Iron Man: Armored Adventures is why.
When you take the anit-hero out of the hero, then you have another lame show about some kid. Now I realize it’s brought to us by NickToons and the letters B & S, but from what I’ve seen, the creators have stripped the very essence of what makes Stark Iron Man and replaced it with a cartoon version of something you’d see on the CW. And poor poor Pepper Potts. Can someone shut her up.
Mutant A Day
Lol, I was like, “That throwback Dr. Pepper reference came out of nowhere.” And then at the end I remembered Pepper Potts. haha
The high school thing gets old on occasion – with some characters more than others – and it is very blatantly and transparently going for the teen angst angle. Still the show is redeemable.
At least cared for the source material. The armors are mostly fun, the Mandarin is back, and the unibeam is round. The action scenes are mostly well done.
Here is my take on the show with lots of pics and a little wit if you are interested:
