Its incredible that the author doesn't know the Iron Man story well enough to write an intelligent article about it. Tony Stark ends up losing everything and landing in the gutter.
There are two more movies coming and if they stay true to the story line, it will be a "riches to rags to redemption" story line. That's why you have Obadiah Stane in the movie; Stane takes it all away from Stark and sends him into the gutter from where he has to work it all out and emerge. THAT would make a much better article - about how being a merchant of death sends you eventually into the gutter from where you must seek redemption.

Part of the comic line is that Stark's own weapons are used against Iron Man consistently. Seems to me that the Government's own weapons (propaganda et al) are being used well against Bush just as they were against Nixon. I hope the next two movies stay true to the basics of the comic story line; Spider-Man seemed to hold pretty true to it so I am hopeful they run this one out properly as well. It'll be a real shock to a lot of people if they do it right and a good lesson in morality and "what goes around comes around" for the masses.

He's writing about the movie, not the comic series.

Replies to Comment # 15. Well, except that being merchants of death put two guys in the White House, not the gutter.
