oh look, it’s more thoughts on Iron Man 3

Interesting article from NPR:
Armor And Anxiety: Tony Stark Is The New Captain America, by Linda Holmes

Meet Tony Stark at the opening of Iron Man 3: insanely wealthy, possessed of every toy, and traumatized by an attack on New York that has left him restless, anxious, belligerent, and given to both hunker-down security measures and fate-tempting swagger. He declares his total lack of fear, then builds the fortress walls higher.

(At first I thought the message of this article was more “Tony Stark is the new America,” which I actually agree with more. I’d love to see a comparison of IM3′s meta about the US to Dark Knight Rises.)

More of My Thoughts Oh Wow Do I Have Some
Here’s some opinions I have that have made being in a comics fandom infinitely more enjoyable so far. Comics have no canon. The MCU is a fanfic AU. Bucky Barnes in Captain America 2 is unlikely to be a stuffed teddy bear. (But I suppose anything’s possible.)
