I miss Spex
his account seems to be unbanned
come back to us @Spectre-X !
If I recall correctly around when he was banned he wrote a big manifesto on his tumblr about how terrible of a place this was and he'd never come back ever ever.
So yeah.
His method of explaining them significantly less so
Steaaaaaaam
he hates Joss Whedon so much
Nah. Him and Skullman can pretend we're cliquey homo/transphobic jerks in their own little biosphere thanks
sadly searching is no use...
I tried to find it on twitter but it only goes back to January this year.
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this is a thing that happened.

I really, really wanted to like Iron Man 3. And while viewing it, I enjoyed it, so there is that. But upon reflection, there were some problems that emerged:
-Tony's armor(s) seem(s) to switch back and forth between being made of glass and metal. And the ending? He couldn't get out of each suit fast enough. No consistency. And then Iron Patriot was giving the baddies all that trouble when they were trying to breach it. It almost felt like, when the suit was actually there (real prop) it was solid seeming, but as soon as it switched to CG, it became super fragile again. Just, ugh.
-So... he had all those suits down in his basement the whole time? I guess they were still being assembled or something, though? That whole thing was super fast and loose. Felt too obviously like a Deus Ex Machina moment and rubbed me the wrong way.
-Now Tony's remote controlling his suits? That's just... disappointing. And defeats the premise of Iron Man.
-The panic attacks were not written well. I just didn't buy them.
-Dat kid. Is he comic relief or is he someone we should be sympathizing with? Pick one. I mean, the kid did fine. Tony's banter with him struck the wrong chord, though. It wasn't cute--Tony was just being a douchebag, and not the kind that you like either.
-That brings me to my next point: Tony felt schizophrenic in this one. Just... not as cohesive, character-wise. I can't quite put my finger on it. And he came across as more asshole-ish this time around--like, a little too much in that direction for my tastes.
-So... when did the bad guys get remote control over the Iron Patriot? Isn't that the kind of system Tony had to design his suit from the ground up to implement? And isn't the Iron Patriot just a re-painted War Machine (old tech)? It seems like putting the President into War Machine would be the kind of plan that might backfire. And yet it didn't.
-Pepper has Extremis! Cool beans! Oh, wait, that's a problem or something, so mumble, mumble she's better now!
-That pesky shard of metal near my heart? Hell, let's just get it out of there, nbd! Boy, I wonder why I never did this in the first place!
-"I am Iron Man, with or without my armor!" Nope, you're just Tony Stark without the armor, bud. Why the fuck would you let a woman convince you to destroy your work? Especially when it's single-handedly responsible for saving New York from nuclear obliteration? Seems a bit necessary to me.
I guess I had more problems with it than I realized.

The hulk stores ambient gamma radiation while hes banner and converts it to mass when he transforms. The gamma bomb super charged him.
I... wow. I'm kind of not even sure where to start with that thought.

You could start with him missing the point of Tony's character arc.
or
You could start with him coming off as sexist.
yes that is me on the right
what of it
Wait
is Paul Giamatti the Rhino?
@Antimatter
Yo
yup
the Rhino was one of his favorite childhood characters
Steaaaaaaam
Did you chug some Robitussin before you saw this? There's a comedic moment about exactly this point early on. The number of his current armor wasn't just a random choice.
unlike this bar in town that started out as Cover 3 and then they built a new one called Cover 2 and I'm like guys, you are pretty realistic about your business growth, well done

Tears of joy.
That is 5 fee, 8 inches of smashin' right there.
I actually kind of agree with one part of that..
I don't want to touch the misogyny with an army of autonomous robots, though.
The way I took that was
The "I am Iron Man." at the end, coupled with his recovery of some of the lab equipment, makes me think that he's not going to give up actually being Iron Man or building suits. I think he just need a fresh start after spending the past few months doing nothing but making armors and dealing with his anxiety. Now when he makes a suit of armor or two, it won't be because he can't sleep at night.
Haha, I had the same thought when I saw that too.
Right, no, that was what they were aiming for with that arc.
I just didn't entirely like how it played out.
It'd be something if he was just scrapping a giant pile of non-functional armor, but it wasn't. I actually felt bad for the suits at that point.
I get that he's a man, not just the occupant of a suit, but they are also more than just metal and programming and deserve better.
