Anyone notice that Pepper has been the one that takes out each CEO villain in all three films? Her overloading the Arc reactor > Stane, Her calling the cops > Hammer, Her spontaneous kung-fu > Killian.

That's because Pepper is AWESOME.

Oh, and... $1 Billion, Baby!

The real Mandarin or concept art?


Either way, that looks great. I want to see that Hot Toys figure.



EDIT:


Never mind, that concept art. Here's more.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yup, concept art. I thought it was the coolest one.

 

[DiFabio]

The one with the Terracotta army statues is pretty damn cool as well.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yup, it looks like they went pretty close to that design, actually. The green robe looks pretty similar to the one in the flick.

I like these the best:

Along with the first one I posted.

 

[DiFabio]

Lots of great stuff popping up. The final film was pretty faithful to the original concept.

Sounds like they added in the whole "prototype" suit deal after that.

 

[DiFabio]

Maya isn't there either.

That scene actually perplexed me when it happened. I assumed he somehow implanted Pepper with those micro devices and then she was going to get pissed at him afterwards, but I totally forgot about thinking this until I just saw this scene again.

What were the implants if they were homing beacons for the suit?

 

[ZaCHw117]

I think him putting the suit on Pepper was complete blind luck, that or just a minor flaw in the story. It was cool though.

I kinda wish they would have had the MK42 fully functional through the film. Instead of it just being a prototype.

 

[Deckard]

I think the only way you can try to legit explain it is it once the suit had assembled itself once using the nanos as markers for where the specific pieces go, it self stores the info and knows how to assemble itself from then on around whoever. In which case why couldn't Stark simply program those instructions into a computer rather than inject himself with etc etc...

Anyone know why its called the mark 42 instead of mark 8? All of his other suits followed a numerical order (mark (1,2,3,4,5,6,7....8?....48) except for this one.

Because he built all those other suits that we're finished and used in the finale between the 7 and 48 which he was still working on. As others have said it was to demonstrate his concern and want for a suit for every purpose rather than a few multipurpose suits that we're truely quality.

Btw, here's a question that'll really blow your mind. What if the suit trys to assemble itself around a guy that's like 700 pounds and won't fit inside it?

Does it convert his now liquid form into something drinkable?

I would guess thats why they (the pieces) broke away so easily. If Dodge can design a van door that won't crush you I'm sure the suit won't either.

I agree, that one is my favorite.

Ya it turns into everclear or moonshine, with 100% alcohol content. It is then purchased by Hannibal and served to his guests at one of his elaborate dinner parties.
