]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Also, yes, the movie was great! And between Downey and Favreau, I thought the dialogue was money! Except for Pepper Potts... Women, do you agree with me that the female characters in this movie were cardboard or what?

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @EDread83: I didn't see Sam. Can somebody "spoil" for me where he even was in the movie?

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Oh, who f*cking cares, the movie kicked ass.

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @syndprod: What you quoted was not bad. The rest of his post needed spell check. Your quoted bit was void of errors, except that he could have capitalized the first letter...

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> I can totally see how Millar may have influenced the film, but I shy away from BMB almost by reflex now, given the stupid, stupid crap he has done with over 2 years of helming the avengers.

Still, Iron Man was good, I just fear that BMB's ego was already gargantuan and approaching critical mass, I'd hate to read one day that Marvel Comics' offices were obliterated when Bendis' ego collapsed in upon itself and formed a small singularity :P

@Smeagol92055: I think he was trying to be witty/be a dick to Favreau/take the credit, more than telling the truth. [defamer.com] Oh wait, I'm sorry, it's still safe and popular to have a crush on Downey, Jr; only Ed Norton can be a dick.

(Methinks io9 needs to keep up with its sister sites more.)

I'm fairly certain he does that on all of his gigs.
Though if that's true, he's a seriously witty dude.

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @jeffrey115: so you visit this site but had NO idea about Sam in the movie? Wait are you even a fan? What i am thinking is that all the fans already heard rumors about the cameo so most werent surprised when we saw it. So if you arent a fan then a "spoiler" about something that has no bearing on the rest of the movie really shouldnt upset you. I dont know i just dont understand. Besides what the hell are you waiting for? Also this movie made a lot of cash so you should remain under your rock until you see it for fear of getting another "spoiler" from one of the many people who have seen it.

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> So... I guess Iron Man's Daytona Spring Break Adventures is not the sequel? You know the one... I think Motley Crew was in it...

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @Plague: I think that actually it was US Marshals. Oh wait, that didn't have a script...

I also think spoilers about post-credit scenes are helpful because some of us, especially with kids, are eager to get out of that theater as quickly as possible and would otherwise miss many over-hyped useless scenes. That said, the credits for Iron Man dragged on longer than any movie I can ever remember. There had to have been a thousand people who worked on it.

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @Aethyr: Given the crap work Millar did to Captain American in Civil War I sincerely hope they leave his name off that list. Bendis too.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @jeffrey115: Sorry, but you're on IO9 where they had a clip of it up the very next day.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Wait, these guys names were in the credits, I guess it's their level of involvement that was secret?

Seth L

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Firstly, why doesn't Bendis use his shift key?

Also, this only proves how awesome Favreau is - other directors should follow his example when making a comic book film. Because then their movies might rock as hard as Iron Man did.

Wrong movie. That was the Hulk.

Plague

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @jeffrey115: "I totally wrote some of it!!!!"
What, exactly, does that spoil?

It's nice to see how much care went into this movie, and I think it really shows in the finished product. I'm also very glad Millar talked them into focusing more on using Iron Monger in this movie - Going the other way, I think, would have been too much for an introductory movie.

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> And Robert Downey claims he threw out the script everyday and rewrote it himself because it sucked.

Tim Faulkner

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Wait, hold on...consulting with comic book writers on the script of a comic book movie?! Get out! What's really sad is that this is a genuinely revolutionary idea in Hollywood.

Ed Grabianowski

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> Dear Brian: Please proofread before posting: "irregardless of my participation...". Oy, you cause me pain! (Though I did love the movie... ducked out of work early on Friday to see it in glorious digital.)

syndprod

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @jeffrey115: Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Go, now! Go! Go!

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> I would have been stunned if they didn't consult those two.
Millar and Bendis may be the best one-two punch since Byrne and Claremont


DeepFriar

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> @jeffrey115: Really? "Secret brain trust" didn't clue you in that maybe there would be secrets revealed?

Still, cool stuff! Who'd a thunk, getting experts in their field would add weight and texture to the project? A trend I hope to see more of in the future.

Gyrus

]]> <![CDATA[Meet The Secret Brain Trust Behind Iron Man]]> honestly, you couldn't have mentioned that there's a potential spoiler in like the first line of quoted text? Some of us haven't had a chance to see it yet.
