"Iron Man" was AWESOME.

I hereby propose that Jon Favreau be allowed to go to Brett Ratner's house, ring the doorbell, wait until he answers, and then kick him full-on in the nutsack.

Also, I now remember why I never warn other people in movie theaters that there's something after the credits -- they never fucking listen. Oh, well. Their loss. :)

EDIT: Oh, and everybody needs to read Your Friends Are Not Watching the Same Show You Are (And That's Okay). So much stupid wank would be averted if more people would remember that just because you can't see subtext doesn't mean other people shouldn't, or that if you don't see the misogyny it's not there, or that ... well, you get the idea.

SAMUEL L. JACKSON FUCK YEAH. They didn't even have to make him into a character. He could have shown up as himself and gone all, "Samuel L. does not approve, motherfucker" and it still would have been badass.

But Nick goddamned Fury. That was brilliance.

I read somewhere that there was some run of the series where the Nick Fury character was actually re-envisioned to be based on SLJ, with his permission and wholehearted motherfucking approval? Which just makes it all the more awesome.

(Yeah, watch me be totally vague. My knowledge of comics is extremely erratic.)

In the mainstream/616 universe Marvel comics, he was/is an old white guy. In the Ultimate comics, which was a re-boot of mainstream/616 Marvel comics where he was a young black guy (where Wolverine was a young tall guy who looked just like Hugh Jackman,) who gradually started to look more and more like Samuel L. Jackson.

Ultimate Marvel, and lo, it is badass.

In the showing I was in, it was me and a bunch of fanboys who waited behind to see the scene. And when he introduced himself as Nick Fury, every single person in that theater either shouted, "FUCK, YEAH," or, "HOLY SHIT," or, "OH MY GOD." It was awesome. :)
