Stark, like an...George, you make some fair points. Stark, like anyone who's had their property or patents stolen, could have availed himself of the legal system in order to set things right, and indeed attempted to do so--even while he was <i>fully intending</i> to take more decisive action. His bottom line came down to the fear that lives could be lost in the interim--so he made a unilateral judgment call to override legal channels and let Iron Man handle things directly. Being a former munitions manufacturer, we can only imagine what the results would be if he suddenly got it into his head to go after all the weapons systems his technology is now embedded in, technology that any number of governments could have discovered and appropriated to use to take the lives of innocents.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-9022603133647669402015-05-05T17:14:58.808-04:002015-05-05T17:14:58.808-04:00Hmmm, what to say, what to say..:
I restarted my ...Hmmm, what to say, what to say..:<br /><br />I restarted my IM collecting 'round this time (because I was bored..) and while I liked the storyline, the art annoyed me. <br /><br />It all seemed soooo Magnum PI-ish, with Rhodey and Tony's hair..? You name it. Plus the art and inking itself was crisp and all but just seemed like the same panels in each issue.., it just got very mundane, perhaps trite is the best word to describe it. <br /><br />Just very '80s and very dull, just nothing all that gripping. I did find the red/silver armor a nice alternative for a while, much better than the dismal red/yellow style it went back to once folks were complaining about the 'no-longer-Golden-Avenger'.. <br /><br />Almost as bad as the 'nose'..david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-8239848648968695942015-05-05T09:58:59.138-04:002015-05-05T09:58:59.138-04:00Tony was just so full of himself, wasn't he? ...Tony was just so full of himself, wasn't he? As if there was something about him that was so darn special that no one else could possibly build tech like his legitimately. Fair enough, Spymaster did steal his plans, but the nature of technological innovation is such that if he hadn't been around to miniaturise his "super-transistors" in TOS 39, then someone else would have made the same innovations - someone like maybe Anton Vanko, or Reed Richards. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Tony Stark feeling responsible about others using powered armor for crime and mayhem is like Hiram Maxim crying about all the death caused by machine guns in World War I. It never rang true to me and I feel it was a crummy, contrived motivation for Tony to go off on a wild tear.George Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837115563034614545noreply@blogger.com
