    i've thought the digital comics thing was pretty great, till they bumped up the price.

    Not a bad idea, Marvel. I got back into reading comics because of those little flip comics they had a few years back, which had two comics for a little over the price of one. It was Whedon's first issue of Astonishing and the decidedly more mediocre first part of New X-Men as I recall.

    @BrendCh06: I think she originated in Astonishing. New X-Men had Surge, Elixir, Hellion, etc. It wasn't that notable until Craig Kyle and Christ Yost took over.

    Well if Jeff Bridges' story is true, the first one was made from an outline, not a full script and it was awesome. I am sure Favreau can pull this off without it falling apart like Spider-Man 3.

    not worried because i doubt that IM2 will have not 1 but 2 stupid non-sensical musical numbers in it and be anywhere near as just plain cheesy that spider-man 3 was.

    Too many villains?

    Doesn't the movie only have two villains in it? And...I'm trying to remember the first movie, because it's not like Favreau made something so awesome it's indelibly-etched into my imagination, or anything...but didn't the first movie ALSO have two villains in it?

    This whole thing is silly; you can make anything sound like it's got too much stuff in it.

    Remember the first movie, that had to handle character introductions for Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Faran Tahir, Shaun Toub, AND that little guy from SHIELD? Also, Tony Stark built TWO Iron Man suits, plus there was an Iron Monger suit, PLUS Tony Stark was dealing with his father's legacy and the realization that his weapons' company was a huge part of the problem, AND he had to deal with losing control of his business!

    Dude, a lot of these things run in parallel.

    The difference being is that Favs actually want's these characters in the movie, while Sony basically told Raimi to put Venom in Spidey 3.

    @dry-roasted-peanuts: Really? It seems to me like some of the bloat is coming from the mandate to set up the Avengers movie. If it's all Favreau telling his story his way, then we're fine.

    @Barnabus: And Favs is exec producer on Avengers and, given the following interview, seems to be pretty damn gung ho on it.

    Raimi, as I remember (and I could be wrong, but I don't think I am), always went on about how he loved Lee/Ditko Spidey and that is the Spidey he wanted to make.

    I think that Rourke is such an amazing actor, in fact recently he *rapped* over the end credits of Rogue Warrior and the verse below is something he should tap into for Whiplash:

    "I own your fucking souls
    Fucking commie bitch
    Yeah, some capitalism for you, pussy"

    Imagine the performance he would give if he listened to this every day. Angry Mickey....

    @shaunmcilroy: Rogue Warrior is also probably the meta-review in the history of current gen games.

    If this article is true, Iron Man 2 might end up the same and unfortunately the reviews do make or break sales.

    Yeah, I have the same fear for IM2. It's just a little too much for me but I will hold all fear and paranoia until I see the trailer.

    On another note, I have figured out that if you look at Spiderman 2 as Spiderman 3 and vice versa, it's better.

    No, not worried at all.

    I have faith in Favreau. Stark being an alcoholic is what will make this movie a lot more interesting.

    The jury is still out about the whiplash costume, however in it's defense, I'll say a lot of people thought Daniel Craig couldn't play James Bond because he couldn't drive a manual, or play baccarat.

    @NerD: Blattella: Other than the alcoholic angle which I think was pretty much ruled out as not in this film in some of Favreau early interviews about IM2. Everything else you said was spot on. You have got to have faith in Favreau directing ability after learning that he and RDJ pretty much did IM on the fly with little or no script and look how that turned out, pretty good i'll say.
