The cartoon... ummm... I really like how they've handled Rhodey and Tony and Tony's Issues. Their Pepper makes me want to spit nails and their Happy makes me waver between wanting to hit things and wanting to cry. It is, however interesting to seem how they translate things from Iron Man's very adult world (seriously, this would have been on the far end of characters I would have tried to kid-ify) into the world of a high schooler. All that being said, I CAN NOT WAIT until next week's episode. Because according to the glory that is Wikipedia, it will bring me glee (emphasis mine):
Tony upgrades the Iron Man exoskeleton software, and proceeds without testing it to clash with a newly equipped Whiplash, who now has a disc and better chains, courtesy of Mr. Fix. A momentary relapse in the armor's functionality is ignored, but makes critical changes to his suit. The suit has the ability to detect enemy power signatures, and when Tony attempts to find, and not fight, Mr. Fix, the armor displays sentient ability, putting itself into attack mode. It easily overpowers Whiplash with perfect maneuvering, and to the horror of Tony, destroys the facility that Mr. Fix occupied. Thinking iron man killed Mr. Fix and Whiplash.
Tony and Rhodey decide that the armor needs to be taken care of, and the suit craftily lures Tony away, then attacks Rhodey. The armor decides that Tony's danger-seeking behavior is not healthy for him, and tells Tony that he is to be confined within the armor at all times. Tony resists, and damages the armor. Rhodey grabs a magnetic repulsor, and Tony jumps in the way of the blast the armor directs at Rhodey. Tony goes into cardiac arrest, and the armor sacrifices itself to preserve its creator's life.
My question: Who the heck looks at the Living Armor story arc and goes, ‘hey, look, Tony’s armor comes to life and become his abusive boyfriend, I bet this would be great for a kid’s cartoon!’.
Really, though, skip the cartoon unless you’re in a mocking mood. The anime, however, looks wonderful (or, at least Tony’s armor is smoking hot) and I can’t wait to see it.
*nods* Tony is much more passively suicidal than actively suicidal.
Normally riders just wear leather flying gear, but Thread will eat through leather and into skin in seconds. Metal, on the other hand, is Thread-proof. Everyone thinks he's weird; even the dragons. Thread is the big bad of the Pern world? (And Tony is the weird one for wearing something that is Thread-proof? Something seems off in this picture.)
