I think that given the villians motivations not being memorable was kind of the point
Oh, I see how it is.
CD gets all the love for a joke I made several posts before.
I can tell when I'm not wanted.
It's about protecting the innocent so that nobody else has to deal with what he had to deal with.

Who are you, again?
Insert revengeance joke here.
EDIT: I'm thinking avenge, nevermind.
Well then they failed because I will be saying
Pepper.... please.
For years to come.
I did a write up of everything I thought could have been easily fixed in IM2 that would have made it a better movie. My primary point was that if you did Vanko's attack in the stinger and maybe even be the thing that poisons Tony then Vanko would have appeared much stronger then he did.

Oh, I have full confidence in Marvel to get a dragon, or dragon thing, into a movie and make it work. At this point, I think if they realeased Captain America as a dragon they could do well.
But what I don't think they'll be able to do, is sell people on the name Fin Fang Foom without supernatural help. I'm sure Satan already has the contract drawn up if they want to try.
I expect Avengers 2 and Guardians to go even crazier
Steaaaaaaam
Yeah, that's what I was referring to, except it seems I pruned the quote tree too much. I figure big dragon is very possible, corny name is not, even for Marvel.
i just really liked the implications for the stark character this film played with. it straight up does not dance around that this man is totally fragile, his wit and brain notwithstanding.
Steaaaaaaam
Ah, that's reasonable.
I don't care if he has purple shorts
all he needs is that distinctive face and to be some shade of green and ten stories tall
But the best Fin Fang Foom ever is only, like, eight feet tall!
EDIT: Holy shit, that's a thing that actually exists? I thought you just made a typo!
It exists, and it is great. You need to get a copy.
Same here, but that's because I know the character beyond just a name. I'm speculating that it won't work with people who don't.
Maybe they could rename him the Whizzer. There's a name that nobody would think was dumb.
YOU JERK
I AIN'T MAKE NO TYPOS WHEN I TALKIN' 'BOUT FOOM, SUCKA
I have a yellow uniform, and super speed. Now what name should I take? The Whizzer! That will never be turned into a joke by my enemies.
what part of a giant alien dragon wrecking Hong Kong do you think wouldn't work with the general public
The part where someone points at it and says "my god, it's our worst nightmare, Fin Fang Foom."
The rest I think would work.
No Whizzer it was not.
They say that as the Whizzer got older, he became even faster. Sometimes he'd even unexpectedly have bursts of super speed.
Nobody knows for sure though, because when he's asked if it's true, he only responds with "Depends".
my point was they don't need to call him Fin Fang Foom at all though
I'm agreeing with you on that. Like I said, with Marvel's track record, if Captain America turned into a dragon in the next movie I think they'd have a fair chance of pulling it off.
But not even Marvel would be able to sell Fin Fang Foom the name. Maybe just Fin, as a nickname for some made up unpronouncable alien name though.

There's no accent on earth that could make that sound anything but funny. I don't care because I love the character, but it ain't happening without some major Satan mojo backing it.
I'll believe a lot of things: when Man of Steel arrives I'll believe someone can fly, but I just can't believe that Fin Fang Foom as a name would work with an audience unfamiliar to comics when I've seen a 12 year old laugh at it.
But if they do, I'm going to be looking for the actors exclaiming Hail Satan in the next few Disney movies, is all I'm saying.
Your constant reference to pacts with the devil are freaking me out.

Fin Fang Foom is not
How do you know Tal?
Can you speak Magic Space Dragon?
