So Marvel again trying to appeal to feminists and minorities by replacing an established character for 60 years with another female minority. When will it end? |

Doesn't really matter. By the next MCU movie starring Iron Man as a lead character, Stark will most likely be back in the armor.

Does this mean Iron Man will finally get that personality he's been missing?

Huh, so they're going the Tim Drake route.
Interesting.

Still ought to be better than Ghostbusters, I would prefer it if the name stayed as Iron Man. The idea seems alright right now but hopefully nobody ****s it up with various things. I know she's a girl and man is in the title of Iron Man but what if she had a secret identity or something pretending to be a dude? I still think Stark will be in the armor again though.

Yeah, but all THAT 15-yo had to do is figure out Bruce Wayne was Batman. And do a lot of athletics.
A high-school or college student making a robotic exoskeleton armored suit capable of weaponry, defense, and flight? On her budget? Nah.

I don't think I own any Iron Man comics outside of Extremis and the first storyarc by Busiek and Chen.
I am all for diversity in comics, but as a fan who happens to be black myself, this does seem like an insincere publicity stunt. All that energy devoted to pissing off fans when they could just make a new character. This stuff never ends up being the new status quo for long, like when Rhodes took over. I'll take them seriously when they recast RDJ with Lupita N'yongo. Last edited by Spike Spiegel; 07-07-2016 at 10:40 AM. |
