A favourite series of comments on the shortcoming of Iron Man - and ‘smart’ heroes in general - that I’ve only now decided to screencap before they faded off into oblivion.
Teaser trailer for the new Iron Man Anime series.
Now, I have to admit, I’m a big sucker for the ol’ tried-and-true genre of Holy Fuck Big Robots, and from the footage here, it looks like this series is going to inherit that spirit, if not scale (although odds are the Hulkbuster armour that’ll inevitabily show up will be Ecksbawks Heug)
It’ll be interesting just how ‘anime’ this whole thing will remain. I’m not a big fan of Japanese animation - the art style works, sometimes, but I’m not one of those types to love it beyond question just because it’s from Japan. It’s being helmed by one Warren Ellis though, so that gives me hope that they can match the visual flair with a storyline that’s just as energetic and interesting.
Here’s hoping.
