Marvel Opens Box. Geeks Explode.
Some sweet pictures started circulating from the floor of Comic Con with Favreau, Quesada, Downey Jr., and Stan Winston revealing the Iron Man Mach 1 armor from the movie.
The armor looks great, not as slick and polished as the red and yellow armor but looks bulky and mean nonetheless, with a really nice finish to it. One has to wonder how much screen time this suitt will even have, but considering the pomp and circumstance of revealing it, the thing must show up a bit in the movie.
I always thought the original armor in the comic looked stupid, so the creative minds behind this did a really good job of making the armor set look old and unwieldy, yet looking menacing and suggesting a lot of power.

Its a great looking Origin armor. Had it been any less mechanical appearing it would look like something out of oz or camelot, good move there. I still have serious doubt about the film though, Reports from the Con about the new trailer say its "funny". Sorry, I dont need another comedic comic book film, they are just insulting to the genre. It didnt work for ghost rider, it didnt work for fantastic four, and it wont work for this.
