So, we are super grateful that Marvel made our wildest dreams come true by giving us this opportunity to tell stories that celebrate 60 years of the awesome existence of Tony Stark." "I've loved the character for so long that I had written a proposal for this series even before Dotun and I broke into comics. "Iron Man has been my favorite character in all of fiction for years now," Ayodele said when I Am Iron Man was announced in November. Nothing will be the same from here on out." I Am Iron Man Creators Speak on New Series "This is something you can't defeat by swinging your swords at it," Tony says. It appears Tony is speaking to himself inside his armor, hyping himself up and building his confidence.Īfter the Iron Shogun returns to his village, he finds a blaze tearing it apart. When he puts his katanas back in their sheaths, a bunch of Oni bodies fall from the ground, cut in half and other small pieces. We find Tony already in the Iron Shogun armor, wielding twin plasma katanas as he slashes out at the air around him. “You create something so enormous and so powerful that it seems like such just a fact of nature, almost,” Scott told his colleague Michael Barbaro on the podcast “The Daily.” “t just crushes any dissenting voice or point of view and doesn’t give you a lot to talk about.Marvel released a preview of I Am Iron Man #3 by Murewa Ayodele, Adedotun Akande, and VC's Joe Caramagna. Scott cited the Marvel-DC-Pixar behemoths as a major reason why he left the profession earlier this year. The comic book aficionados who once felt unfairly marginalized were suddenly all-powerful in the eyes of the studios adapting their beloved master texts with full-blast fully enabled, they turned tyrannical - to the point where New York Times film critic A.O. It’s no coincidence that the film arrived at the dawn of social media, when iPhones, Facebook and YouTube were still young and Instagram and Twitter hadn’t dropped yet those combined forces would create a world in which pandering has become a prime value. But something took stronger hold after “Iron Man” made its debut. It’s a truism that comic book movies have infantilized the culture, rewarding our craving for frictionless wish fulfillment fantasies of unaccountable power and righteous impunity. Ditto Jeremy Renner, whose breakout performance was in the Oscar-winning “The Hurt Locker,” and Tom Hiddleston, the British actor best known by cineastes for his work with experimental filmmaker Joanna Hogg, now known to millions as Loki in the “Thor” movies. Having grokked the piratical sensibilities that gave “Iron Man” its punchy, irreverent vibe, Marvel set about poaching actors and directors from that world - with admittedly smashing results: Mark Ruffalo fans who caught their first glimpse of the actor in small movies like the delicate family dramedies “You Can Count on Me” and “The Kids Are All Right” might have been bemused when he ended up in 2012′s “The Avengers” playing the Hulk, but no one could begrudge a big payday for a talented actor who had been toiling in the low-budget vineyards. Indeed, part of Marvel’s strategy for conquering mainstream entertainment has been to come for the indies, with wallets tantalizingly open. It’s precisely their global reach - and that sweet, sweet, Disney money - that made “Iron Man” and its Marvel brethren so irresistible to auteurs who might be expected to turn their noses up at such widget-y product.
