I don't think anybody's said that they prefer it more, just that it's a refreshing design compared to the norm.

That's where i've always been at.

Why are people hating on the new suit? It looks great.

Were there this many complaints about the Mark...uhh..the silver and red one? Why does it have to be exactly the same every time?

I love his traditional design, but I hope that every once in a while we get something fresh like this.

Its growing on me. Still not my favorite, but it is growing more and more.

As long as they don't put nipples on the armor or worse yet, make him look something like this..... I'll be okay.

Just for fun....

Indians are considered Asian. I think you mean Oriental.

No, Asian. Rugs are "Oriental".

Seriously though, I'm talking about race/ethnicity as opposed to geography.

Indians are not Asian. Is India IN Asia? Yeah, but that's geography not race/ethnicity.

Indians. Tibetans. Mongolians. Vietnamese. Phillipinos. All Asians. Asian is not Chinese.

I'm Pakistani and I never refer to myself as Asian

In general or just in the movie? I'm not feeling the on screen suit and I thought maybe I was biased because I love the Iron Patriot comic look and not giving it a fair chance.

It's ok for a comic design, but it's not something that doesn't looks practical at all. I didn't read comics , so I have no biase for the costume either way, it just doesn't seem practical. I could see it as being a gimmick armor and then being used only because all of Starks armory get blown up, but that doesn't look like the case. If Cap got an armor, then I guess I could see it.

Spoiler

Looks like Happy Hogan really dies in this movie. In the trailer you can see him all messed up in the floor as the Mandarin puts his hands on someone's shoulder.

@ "practical."

If the new suit had the red/gold in the usual places we'd be hearing "OMG AMAZING" and "I can't tell the difference from the previous armors".

There's nothing wrong with the actual armor design. Nor the color IMO.

Semantics aside, the new costume looks about as appropriate for Iron Man as this was for Batman.

Maybe if it had neon colors that would be an apt comparison.

But it's the US Air Force's (Rhodey's) armor.

I'm not clued up tbh, why does he stop being war machine?

 

[Ziggie]

Damn, trailer already has 31 million views on youtube.

Its not anywhere near THAT bad.

I think much of the problem is that the non-red areas are too expansive, and the gold that replaces it isn't really GOLD. Its a frosty beige/taupe and much less visually pleasing.

The physical construction of the suit, as in the actual placement of the armor-plating isn't really an issue.

I wonder if the decision to go taupe or whatever was based on how flashy a gold version would have been?

Has anyone photoshopped a version with the colors in the more traditional palette?

 

[The Josh]

Are we really going to say this new suit which is pretty damn good looking is on the same level as that crappy batman suit from a crappy batman movie? Good Lord.

 

[Ramatuelle]

i dont understand why that would even be an issue, just use a red with gold accents as is customary for the armor. Mostly gold armor should remain the province of C-3PO only.

And at least his gold plating was actually, you know, gold. Minor quibble, just strikes me as an odd decision.

Ok, let me put it this way, what air force guy would ever wear something that colorful, in any situation? The WM armor was bad ass and something I picture a guy like Rhodey wearing or any military guy for that matter.

What difference does it make? Stark went up against the best jets on the planet in the MKIII and completely dusted them. I doubt WM has anything to worry about whether he's star-spangled or hot pink and flourescent green.

Thank you! I personally don't like the color changes but its not that craptastic.

Noob.

I don't even know what your talking about Nam. We were discussing why I hated the look of it, has nothing to do how fast the Mark goes or what else it can do for that matter.
