I am waiting for the doom sayers from the Star Trek movie to get on this thread.  Yeah sure it was a good movie, but it isn't even close to cannon.  :D

It doesn't follow the universe set out in the first film?  There's a slight difference between comparing people who complain that it's not like the universe from other films in the series (which Trek claims to be) and different from the Iron Man in another medium.  Yeah, I'd like to see it be as close as possible but I can expect some changes too (do the Trek folks expect the movies to follow the Trek comics?  I doubt it).

I'm really looking forward to this one and hope it's good and doesn't follow the path of so many other superhero movies, where they try and get all "cool" with the villains and stuff, and pack in way too many characters in sequel after sequel.  I don't mind the replacement of Rhody, as I didn't feel he really fit the part very well (but he wasn't horrible either).  I like Cheadle, and think he's got a little more in the acting chops department, but I wonder if maybe there's someone even better out there.  Hmmm.  Thumbs up for the movie, though.

well, it does follow from the first movie, which is good.  But as Iron Man is a comic series that was turned into a movie.  Not a TV series/moves that was adapted to comics.  So cannon for IM is the comic world.

I find the movies good anough.  I am not as inspired by the leader to part two as I was for the leaders for part one.  But have hopes it will be as good.

As for the cannon crap, I take each showing as it's own little world that has nothing much to do with anything before except maybe names.  I don't get disapointed with inconsistancies then.

So when Tony Stark is a transvestite hooker who assembles his armour in a sewer lab he created out of scraps he collected off the mean streets, then you won't be disappointed I guess. ;)

Well you certainly can't go wrong with lines like -

" I'll take it."

"Which one?"

"All of it."




I myself can't wait to see this one. Made for only 30 million.

There's not really any single comic book that's followed the comic continuity yet.  Iron man completely left it's comic continuity in the first film...so what's the point?

Spiderman is a close relation in some ways up through #1...and then deviates largely...X-men had a chance at hope...but Rogue and how she went soured that movie from continuity before it even really began...The Hulk...well we really don't have to even start exploring either one of those as they are far off the continuity lines...

They all occur in some alternate universe...so what if IM isn't the same as the comics...the first one wasn't close to them either overall...it had some resemblence...but overall...similar story...different story, background and canon.

oh spider-man #1 was off alot.  MJ was a mixture of three different women (plot wise), Parker got real webs, etc. 

My point in the first post was that some get caught up in cannon (or what looks like cannon) but are selective.  ST was horrible because it didn't match, IM is awesome but doesn't match.  For consistancy someone should bitch about this movie. ;D

Actually if it was done good, story is good, I probably would like it.  But I might not.

And actually the transvestite hooker thing might make the movie better.  It would be a hook that oculd be interesting anough to just make it a have to see (tho maybe not a have to like).
