Iron Man & Thanos in Endgame

Thanos looks fine but that Iron Man design looks horrible. MCU designers at this point are just adding random lines all over the place instead of making that shit beautiful like in Phase 1. The colour palette is top notch though

"Aliens..."

Ywn touch Iron Man's starfish.

Looks pretty neato. It's a little closer to OG Iron Man, even, with the not-extremis nanite tech giving the suit a more biological/muscular look.

85th suit. How many has he got in storage, now? Pretty sure he started hoarding again after IM3.

>The colour palette is top notch though
Indeed. I like the referencing of classical armors.

It was speculated Tony would end up making another few dozen suits in a PTSD fueled bender post-snap just like he did after the wormhole. I think the person on twitter who leaked the suit said there was suppose to be a mark 100 though.

I don’t mind the lines. The gold plates are referencing the muscles you would normally see in this version of the Armor.

Great, he'll blind thanos to death.

Are the yellow parts supposed to be some kind of flexible fabric mesh or something?

Can't believe it took 8 movies with Iron Man in it for us to get this design.

>Additional accessories coming soon
Cmoooon Proton Cannon.

It's techno-chainmail.

Those are his muscles, it’s body paint.

That plot point of him destroying all of the suits in 3 was so fucking retarded and unnecessary, especially when they completely ignored it the very next movie.

What is the best Iron Man armor and why is it still the Mark III?

I'll also accept the Mark VIII and the Mark XVLI.

I think it's the one in the OP for me senpai. I always preferred the more absurd sci-fi form-fitting tech in the comics, mostly because it's been established that Tony had access to it in the comics as far back as the 70s, but regressed to bulkier machinery just because people "felt" it made more sense, I guess? I suppose starting out bulky in the movies makes sense.

Anyway, I find their take on the Ultimate Iron Man armor from Homecoming is often overlooked, looks neat.

Because the Mk III existed partially as a real prop as opposed to a single piece that is augmented heavily with CGI, thus giving it weight and presence on the screen.

Everything post IM2 has felt airy and and non-descript, akin to watching a fairly boring cartoon as opposed to something live action.

>I have gathered the all-powerful Infinity Gems!
>Better bring a sword, though, just in case

Even as a long time Iron Man fan from the 80's, I think the Mk III may be my favorite.

This, absolutely this. It looks like a guy in a robot suit, which it should.

Didn't the Infinity Gauntlet melt in his hand after he snapped?

Yes. Someone wrote an interesting essay on the origins of Iron Man. It includes this. It's really supposed to be memory metal.

>"Flexible yet rigid armour:
>Nitinol is the commercial name for a nickel-titanium alloy that can be folded up like a concertina, or become rigid, and is up to 30 times more flexible than ordinary metal. It was discovered by William Buehler when he was attempting to make a better missile nose cone, and demonstrated in 1961. Note that when Kirby first described Vibranium in 1965, he described its value in missile nose cones. Nitinol did not find any use until the 1980s, but this was simply due to its cost: there was no incentive to invest large sums. Had this been the atom bomb or the space race, it would have become very advanced well within Kirby's 30 year time frame."

A lot of people seem to have missed that the Gauntlet was unhappy post-Snap

>their take on the Ultimate Iron Man armor

It's just a paint job.

Exactly, which automatically makes it better than the ugly-ass Ultimate armor.

Screw you. I love it.

I've always had a soft spot for it

I miss the chest circle

Iron Man 3 did great with showing that he had PTSD, needed to separate from the hero identity and was going fucking nuts dealing with it, and had that sweet plane rescue scene but jesus christ did it miss the mark. Especially because we knew he's gonna go straight back to making himself mechsuits. There was no consequence to it because he apparently stayed with Pepper and got away with jamming some more tech into his chest anyway despite it seeming like he had to choose between them.

Though I agree, I also love Mk. VI. Definitely wasn't a fan of Mk. L, apart from the cool Extremis-style nanite shit that had no explanation.

Didn't he also have to slather himself with goo whilst inside it? I miss Ultimates.

I think I just hate nanites on principal, it's just "too much" and just kind of shite magic.

Didnt they make it a point to limit the core to a simple shape only back in Dark Reign? Complicated shape fucks it up or some shit

He is gonna do the Thanos copter right?

The nanites worked with Extremis because comics Tony is far more transhuman than MCU Tony. I also feel like there was no lead in to the nanites, like, we missed Iron Man 4 or something.

I did like that he used it to fill in the "gaps" in the team roster by creating a big smashing hammer and a shield with it when fighting Thanos, though.

It's the few first issues IIRC

>Not the Mk. LXIX

Not exactly what I had in mind.

I still like Mark 42 and wacky IM3 shit like the hand detaching and pulling him out of the rubble

The Hulk Buster is the best even if only for the assemble scene

In term of comic though, it has to be the Superior suit

May not be a popular opinion, but my personal favourite from a design perspective was the civil war suit. It was sleek without losing its mechanical edge and I liked the colour scheme.

How much more advanced can they really make the MK85? I feel like Infinity War was pretty much the zenith of Tony's technology. I can't imagine it improving any further.

Space parts allow for a more powerful laser cannon. That’s about it.

Space travel, more nanites, maybe it can transform between suit Mks or some shit. It should also be the core of a giant sized Iron Man Godkiller mech, just for fun.

bigger nano constructs probably. most of the wow factor will be how much more powerful the suit is

>I also feel like there was no lead in to the nanites, like, we missed Iron Man 4 or something.

This. It bugged me so much that we just had magic armor now without a proper intro

Needed a proper Extremis movie for this suit, genuinely. Maybe a Red Zone adaptation where the IM3 Extremis is used as the basis for a cure or something and Tony uses the nanites to create some bullshit science antibodies and then to create some armour.

here's hulk in his tight formfitting suit

Attached: pjqatkvkrgp21.jpg (1000x1250, 122K)

The precursor was the emergency hand repulser he used when Bucky was gonna assassinate him in Civil War.

That and the Mark 46 were probably meant as the in-between suit

Personally, I think the mark 85 looks better when it's like this statue where his legs/thighs are fully yellow up to the hip.

Isn’t Tony a weeb for knight shit?

Yeah. Knights and Arthurian legends are his thing. He has several stories featuring it.

Really like mk 42, even though it started all the remote-controlled part power creep.

I also love it for being mate and not shiny, like every other one since. I think it was just the best rendered one because it took the biggest chunk of the budget compared to the following (Avengers) films.

Looks like 60s kitchen appliances to me.

I kind of like the reversed colour scheme, whilst somehow keeping the head the correct colours.

god I hate this suit

I'm sorry, I know it's off topic, but if Hulk is going to wear a body suit, why not shoes?

I noticed that Nebula has orange in her face too

I will stand up and give the Russo bros a standing ovation and clap in the theater, if they throw in the Protocannon in Endgame.

I don't like the eyes.

I always hear Eggman's theme from SA2 whenever I see it.

This. He looks bored.
actually looks threatening.

Yes, there's no possibility that a guy who manipulated a Kree Accuser, an Asgardian trickster and pretty much everyone he crossed paths with while avoiding the retribution of a galaxy hot for revenge could possibly be in any way resourceful without the full use of a bunch of Cosmic Maguffins.

Mark 85, what the fuck?

what is up with that stupid arc reactor shape?
if it was a circle this costume would look amazing
although they should have based an earlier armor on this one, seeing it create weapons with nanomachines looks kinda weird

>it's been established that Tony had access to it in the comics as far back as the 70s, but regressed to bulkier machinery just because people "felt" it made more sense
if this doesn't sound like the shittiest kind of writing you are retarded

Its worth noting that we don't know how much time passes between Infinity War and Endgame, or during Endgame. He might have created and abandoned designs while "shipwrecked". Not every fighter design gets built either.
See: F-19, F-24 through 34.

The Arc Reactor has been triangular since he incorporated the new element into it in the second half of Iron Man 2.

>2 in Age of Ultron
>Hulkbuster

So that's six. We know he made the Rescue suit, so that might count too. Probably not the gauntlet from Civil War, but you never know.
I wouldn't be surprised if he remade all of the suits he blew up at the end of 3.

Tony is sort of a nutty PTSD ridden doomsday prepper, he stress builds tons of suits and mostly just hoards them for odd occasions when they might be needed.

Hell, there’s probably a suit fir everybody he knows, just in case.

Are you suggesting he convinces one of the stones to function? How - threatening it? Promising it things?

Yup. Infinity War was Mark 50. So he probably has 35 suits elsewhere.

>No squad of War Machine drones for Rhodey in Infinity War

It's just... such a huge oversight. It would be so completely logical.
War Machine had two dozen wardrones slaved to it the first time it appeared. Tony had Jarvis control 34 armors in IM3, and the ridiculously misnomed "Iron Legion" in AoU.

>could have had a triumphant army of iron men arriving to turn the tides in Wakanda

Fucking oversight.

I always found that a bit weird. I would've pegged him as a /m/echa/robot guy mainly with some /k/ interests. The whole "honor of the Knights" thing came out of left field.

Only if they give it to Rhodey.

It was something he read a lot of to cope with the stress of bullying in boarding school.

>somehow
it's really a wonder isn't it?

Yeah I get that; I've read the books. I'm just saying, considering his interests when he grew up, and how he hates magic, fantasy stories about Arthur and Merlin and stuff would be the last thing I'd have expected him to read.

wrong

You would think Tony would have contingencies if he falls of the grid. Maybe we'll see them in Endgame.

The reactor itself has been triangular since IM2. Sometimes he designs the housing/frame of it to reflect this shape, sometimes he does not. But its still a triangle.

I suppose some might say if something is technologically advanced enough, it may as well be magic to the layman. I also figure since Howard was a fairly abusive alcoholic and his school life was shit, escapism into a world where the strong armoured warriors save and protect those in distress etc and save the day would appeal to him.

Nah, I really like it too.

I'm still mad that we never got another Iron Man movie. He really, really deserved another good one like IM1. I do agree that the nanomachines did feel like they came a bit out of nowhere but it wasn't such a HUGE jump that it greatly distracted me. It just would've been nice to see it debut in a solo movie.

As a side-note, best War Machine suit is the Mark IV. This baby is so fucking sweet.

War Machine looks a lot better in the old mechanical looking aesthetic, more so than Iron Man.

Look at the biceps and sharp lines.

Although, mark 5 looks promising.

Mark I and IV are/were the best. I love how bulky they are, and the militaristic, more 'realistic' feel they have. They look like a more realistic take on a Gundam that you'd actually wear.

Fuck, I want an Iron Man game so badly with War Machine as a second playable character, so I could just wreck shit in that.

Me, too, user. What would you have liked to see adapted most? I’d have enjoyed some (even partial) take on nanotechnology shit/transhumanism or Invincible Iron Man vol. 1-4, since they refused Demon in a Bottle outright.

This would've been nice.

We deserve an WM show on Disney+.

>I suppose some might say if something is technologically advanced enough, it may as well be magic to the layman.
Yeah, but he specifically hates magic (multiple references) and fantasy (Tolkien). He likes things "grounded". Sliding Timescales and all, I just think he's the type of kid who would've watched Legend of Galactic Heroes and kept up with BSG in his 20s, not the kind who'd sit down and watch King Lear. You get my point?
>I also figure since Howard was a fairly abusive alcoholic and his school life was shit, escapism into a world where the strong armoured warriors save and protect those in distress etc and save the day would appeal to him.
Fair logic, but my "problem" with this bit is that the Stark we know is a shrewd bastard, a few degrees removed from his enemies, whose bread and butter is "ends justify the means". That goes against the values that defined such stories. He's closer to Roman/Ancient Greek Tales than the British ones.

>unitard iron man

eh I still like Mark IV better

Tony is a fairly dogged and honourable individual when it comes to protecting civilians, though, even if he’s always fucking around with other heroes. He’s definitely intended to or at least aspires to be a knight in shining armour to any regular folk.

Attached: D8BBEAC4-328D-4641-B644-C815DFBAE0AE.jpg (600x792, 120K)

I mean, he's got access to all sorts of zany new tech in space, and I have a creeping feeling he'll end up in Nidavellir.

Normies can’t deal with transhumanism. They are the “look at these millennials and their phones” kind of people. Telling them that technology is the next stage of human evolution makes you look like a lunatic to them. Can’t have your franchise mascot look like a lunatic.

he was so boss in Infinity War. Basically the most effective at fighting Thanos' forces behind Thor.

I love MCU Tony, but he absolutely is a lunatic, he’s very mentally ill what with his PTSD and anxiety, a doomsday prepper and hoards suits of armour. Why not have him upload himself into the mainframe?

Back in the old days, yeah. Mostly Post-Heroes Return and during the Tales of Suspense era. But personally I find that pretty boring, since most superheroes could be like that. I prefer my Tony a bit more "fucked in the head". I mean, we're talking about a paranoid alcoholic control freak who walks around in a WMD because he's an adrenaline junkie. Having read the Ellis/Kanufs run first, and then backtracked, to me he always came off as the type of guy who would've watched Taxi Driver and LARPed as Travis in his free time as an impressionable teen.

Doom, in his weird way, does hold up the whole "honor code", and I could've seen him influenced by such stories. Stark, to me at last, comes off as the guy who's trying to be "just like the old heroes", be they Knights, Roman Emperors/Generals, Ancient Greek Heroes or Wild West Cowboys, but he's not "good enough" to ascend to that place. I always saw him as a Vigilante with tons offirepower than as a clean-cut hero.

I realize it's a fringe POV though.
To be fair even the majority of people into Transhumanism can't see past the very basics of it. Turning Tony into some soapbox could be pretty bad too.

I feel the MKIII is a bit underrated as a step in the right direction after the shit that was just Grey Iron Man with a dinky little shoulder gun in Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3.

Hey, Mark 42 didn't resemble Extremis or the Telepresence armor at all, but that doesn't mean it didn't share some traits of both.

Also, Mark VII could equip different mission packs and add ons, according to the Iron Man 3 Artbook, so they definitely had it's functionality in mind at some point.

It probably is one of the few MCU movies that's 2Deep4U

I forget does he count the WM armors as Iron Man builds too?

Clearly he keeps them bulkier and more solid just to store munitions and weapons on it.

Iron Man 3, Avengers 2, and Civil War all had suits that were basically just progressively smaller bits. Also, we've had enough experience with MCU Tony at this point to learn that he's continually tinkering with his tech, both on and off screen.
Nanobot suit is the perfect endpoint to the kind of suit he'd been conceptualizing since at least IM3

but it directly led to him making the Iron Army, which he then had to scrap completely because of Ultron showing how he could weaponize it.

What can Black Window even do in a cosmic threat event? Show her cleavage?

Oh yeah what the fuck happened to AI Tonny anyway?

In the MCU, War Machine's tech advancing never made much sense to me.
Like, it's established fairly early on that it's being developed independently of Tony, but also Tony is the only one who can develop those kinds of suits.
So who's developing tech for War Machine's suit? Surely the Army wouldn't waste MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on one guy, right?
And is it still just the MK2 suit under all that? So many questions

I think think it's safe to say he isn't 100% bound to the Air Force anymore (considering he's free to join the Avengers/Tony whenever he's needed), and Tony just gives his suit an upgrade whenever he asks for it.

Make way, people. Best suit coming through.

Tony made every War Machine from Mark II onwards, and Mark I was just Iron Man Mark II with a bunch of extra weaponry (of questionable reliability) bolted on.

Only the first suit was developed independently of Tony. He's provided each new suit since.

Nah, he's right. She basically took out like six of those big wheel things and killed their general. As much as I hate to admit it, she did do more than Rhodey, although to be fair, before either her or Thor showed up, he was definitely doing the most work. I hope he gets a big moment in Endgame. He deserves it.

I think I would actually kill for this or PROTON CANNON in, in any form.

>Wanda slams those murder wheels to the ground on top of Proxima
>Looks over at Black Iron Man
>"Lookin' for this?"

The difference is the prepping he engages in does not grant him god mode via crappy writing and cultural demand. Tony may be a preptime magician, but the universe does not bend to said preptime to ensure his victory.

After IM2 he made new armors for Rhodey with their own designations, I read somewhere that the armor used by WM in infinity war was pretty much built as an indestructible tank on par with the strenght and durability of Tony's "not extremis" armor because he felt guilty as fuck about Rhodes becoming paralized and built every safety precaution he could think of to protect Rhodey's spine

Rhodey looked cooler during the standoff with Thanos. That's all that matters.

The Iron Patriot suit had a star-shaped core and, in the comics, it weakened the Uni-Beam.

In the MCU, it probably doesn't matter.
