Spoiler!

1. Iron Man rides the nuke into the hole and into some space like place (I have no idea where that was). The hole closes before he is able to get back to Earth. He is now stuck in space, and Iron Man 3 is now set up where Iron Man is lost in space and he needs to get back. How awesome would that be for an Iron Man movie?

2. Iron Man makes it back through the hole, and instead of waking up, he dies. We are still awaiting the death of a major hero in one of these blockbusters. That would have sealed this movie as the greatest Action/Super Hero movie for me ever. Alas, Disney will make beaucoup bucks on Iron Man 3, so that would never happen. Maybe in Avengers 2, one of our Mains will die.

Spoiler!

Youre saying that it takes a major character's death to put it over the top?

You mustve killed an entire case of Kleenex during X-3 then, eh? Cyclops dead in the first 20 minutes, Xavier history at halfway point, and Wolverine offs Jean in the end.

I dont know if you even read the comics or not. Im guessing not. The simple idea that one of the Avengers should die to put the movie over the top is just incomprehensible to me. I dont know how that could EVER be considered a good idea.

The way I see it, if the film had gone down like you wanted, if Stark died in the end, the outrage over that would be immeasurable. You think it would be a good idea for the first film about this legendary group from the comics to have one of its major characters to die on their first actual teamup?

Heh. Joss Whedon would be crucified for that horseshit.

Everything in the movie leading up to that would instantly be undone. I liken it to the ending of Mass Effect. Completely killer series, right up to that last ten minutes which completely destroys everything.


Ill never understand the need for writers to feel like they need to kill off a character to have a great story. I dont go to the theater to see my heroes die. I go to see them kick some ass like they do in the comics.
