WELCOME BACK, HON, BUT PLEASE LOSE THE BOOZE KTHX

[beeinmybonnet]

Three posts in one day – I’m so sorry! D: I’ll shut up for several days now, I promise.

TOOOONY ♥

DARLING, YOU’RE BACK. That said, what the hell happened since Iron Man 1? Way to change genre there, movie!

Okay, but, first off, I’ll start a very incoherent and flaily list of things I liked, in no particular order:

• TOOONY


• TONY’S ARC REACTOR – baby, you’re back, how I’ve missed you ♥


• RDJ Tony’s chest – oh, oh, ooooh, you’ve been working out, haven’t you? Gorgeous


• J.A.R.V.I.S. ♯


• The new not!Arc reactor design they ripped off from the Extremis Arc


• Justin Hammer – he was so camp in the very best way; I wanted to smother him while at the same time I couldn’t stop smiling


• THE ABSURDITIES – car alarms going off, Tony and Rhodey bickering mid-fight, the strawberries, etc.


• Tony’s so broken and high-strung and he’s such a cute self-destructive little puppy ♥


• NICK MF FURY. Why hello, Mama Bear. Keep up the awesome!


• STEVE’S SHEILD. USED AS AN UNGLAMOROUS BOOKEND.


• Tony only sharing his I’m-kind-of-slowly-dying secret with his A.I.


• THE MUSIC. AC/DC, QUEEN, THE FUCKING CLASH. THE. CLASH. I wanna marry this soundtrack. Seriously.

That is just on the top off my head – I’m probably going to come up with more later on, when I’ve had time to process this. As for more “Meh” things:

• Whiplash – Whiplash but no Sentinent Armour? Waaah. D:<


• Why not more absurdities? While I love watching Tony squirm, this film was a lot darker than IM1.


• … Something more, but I forgot. Oh, right, I was a bit “Bwhut?”about the Tony/Pepper thing in the end. That’s… not going to work out. Sorry.

Overall: Good film. Not as good as Sherlock Holmes, not as good as Iron Man, but not bad. And it has TONY STARK in it, so I don’t really care. Yes, I’m a shameless fangirl.

Now I want to read Tony&Rhodey gen, Tony/J.A.R.V.I.S., and Pepper/Natalie as friends-with-benefits fics. GIMME.

I probably shouldn’t write LJ entries rapidly without proofreading first, but I AM EXCITED.

TELLING YOU ABOUT THE CUT-SCENE, NOW. SCROLL PAST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW:

It was set with Agent Coulson turning up in New Mexico, then you saw this big huge crater and then in the next shot - Thor's hammer sticking out of it. Ominous, no? Yay Avengers \o/

END SPOILERS.

I was thinking that, y'know, he is a Steve fanboy and was just playing it cool in front of the official guy. Tony Stark is nothing if not cool, right? You have corrupted me so much. That is not my ship especially considering the Captain America casting. AND YET.

Marvel!science is naturally awesome. Of course, it goes a long way to explaining why Tony can drink his weight in booze and suffer negligible ill-effects (besides turning into an ass, and then fighting his best friend. Point is he didn't die and was mostly physically fine). He is immune to alcohol poisoning. The veins were hot, though. Not gonna lie either.

I loved him totally owning the evidence being presented against him in the hearing. It was like "fuck yeah, Tony Stark. CAN'T TOUCH THIS!" And then the bit at the end with the senator having to present the awards to him and Rhodey. AWESOME.

I desperately want to believe that Tony can be happy because I identify with him over-much but have not gotten around to creating an A.I. buddy to hang with because I like him. I don't even particularly like Pepper (besides that she is formidable enough for me to not hate her), I am just incredibly invested in his happiness.
