Tony Stark, epic troll. And other trailerage.
on February 4, 2013 at 12:03 AMIron Man 3 was one of many films to give us a Superbowl-exclusive trailer. As it says on the tin, here’s an “extensive” look:
Well played, Mr. Stark. From Stark to Spock, we get a new Star Trek Into Darkness spot:
It seems more like Star Trek Out Of The Sky, but there you go. I could also see Cumberbatch’s character still being Sherlock Holmes, brought back from the dead and ready to take out everyone he deems less intelligent than he is.
And because it also showed off some new things, here’s The Lone Ranger:
Disney did buy out Lucasfilm, so I guess that’s Indy’s whip he’s using? I also get a distinct Shanghai Noon vibe from the Ranger-Tonto slapstick near the end. At least Tonto can rest easy in this version since he won’t be asked to go into town dressed like he is.
Iron Man can carry four people flying? Four?? Is this the same guy who used his boot jets to spin-start a hundred-foot giant turbofan engine?
And what’s with the dead crow on Tonto’s head? Did he lose a bet, or is there just nobody who has enough nerve to tell someone who looks as crazy as Tonto that he has a dead crow on his head?
“What duck?” – The Duck Man from the Terry Pratchett books
Here’s an article that explains Tonto’s dead crow.
As for how many people Ironman can carry, I imagine that it might be limited not by the power of his flight ability, but by how cumbersome people are. Grab one with each arm, and then two more might be able to cling to Ironman and the others? Beyond that and they might start slipping and ending up hanging on to legs and stuff, getting burned by the heat from the boot jets and loose their grips and AHHHHhhhhh… splat.
“It just so happened Sattler had painted a bird flying directly behind the warrior’s head.”
Probably lucky for Depp it wasn’t an airplane.
Actually, Tonto as the Duck Man makes that movie look a lot better … I had been despairing that it would ever amuse me. (I’m a longtime fan of the radio show … enough that I’m wondering if the movie will reuse the same actor as multiple villains, just as the radio show always had the head bandit played by the same Deep Rough Voice Guy.)
I still don’t know why there’s a giant teddy bear in Tony Stark’s living room, and I’m still not sure I want to.
I would totally buy a ticket to see Sherlock kicking the butts of every Enterprise crew member. Spock twice, for being a spacefaring ripoff of Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock and the crew of the Enterprise, you say….?
