Jackson’s Fury still all talk in Iron Man 2
Anticipation is taking on a whole new definition with the subtle ramp up to Avengers. First Iron Man gave us a peek at the badass juice that is Samuel L Jackson, and now with Iron Man 2 coming we anticipate more Nick Fury kicking ass.
So who’s ass gets the fury of Fury? Well…. No one really.
World of Superheroes says:
“Not this time, not yet,” Jackson told MTV News of the likelihood we’ll see his character become the action hero fans know in “Iron Man 2.” “We still haven’t moved Nick Fury into the bad-ass zone. He’s still just kind of a talker.”
This is like shopping for lingerie with your wife to rush home and find out it wasn’t for “tonight” You know you are going to get some of that, but you just don’t know when.
Jackson has that presence that just makes you want to see him slap someone. I can’t wait to see that leather jacket flowing, with blazing looks that will kill and guns that just did.
It just won’t be in Iron Man 2.
Nice lingerie analogy. Yeah, we probably won’t see anything till The Avengers.
um, yea. I don’t know if anyone has been reading comics lately or say that last 10 years or so. But he hasn’t been an action hero since Sgy Fury and his Howling Commandos.
He’s always been the leader of SHIELD and in the comics he talks more than he actually fights. Even the Ultimates version is more about stirring up shit that actually getting his hands dirty, althought the Ultimate version is younger and he does get more action than the regular Marvel U version.
He’s always the black ops shadow figure that makes James Bond’s Boss look like Maxwell Smart.
But you know he DID kick ass, and he does get his hands dirty at times. That eye didn’t go missing all on its own.
When push comes to shove you know that he will be doing the shoving.
I liked the part where Spider-Man punched him in the head and the eye patch flew off.
How about a Nick Fury Agent of Shield film.
That is still a possibility. Andrew Marlow of Air Force One is writing the script.
Actually, the new Marvel book “Secret Warriors” is a really good ole Nick Fury book. Basically he recruits some young heroes along with some of his old SHIELD Buddies (Dum Dum Duggan) to take back SHIELD now known as HAMMER from Norman Osborn.
If I can make a Star Trek analogy, I think Nick Fury has always been more like Picard than Kirk. Kirk like to karate chop people whereas Picard used his cunning more.
Sounds like there are enough supporting characters in the film already to be dealing with (Black Widow, Whiplash, Justin Hammer, Pepper, Rhodey). It’s probably for the best.
I agree Phil. Not to mention Brad Gregg is also returning as SHIELD agent Coulson. But I would not rule out a brief walk on part.
Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how the balance so many major characters and plot lines.
No. Thsi movie has NO VILLAINS that can possibly pose a threat to ironman. Whiplash is a pawn of Justin Hammers, Justin Hammer is a talker thats rich and cant do a pullup, The Black Widow- she has a pistol and looks hot.
We need a REAL villain- like fucking Dynamo…or…..(and i cant believe im saying this) The Mandarin
Its come to that…these villains are so weak and worthless and pose absolutely NO threat to Ironman (who is accompanied by fucking war machine) that i actually came ot my last ressort….the Mandarin…yes…i would rather have the mandarin, who could actually hit Ironman without being bruised by the metal, and hurt him.
If black widow punches ironman shed get a broken wrist, if Justin shoots him, the bullet would bounce off and kill him.
If Whiplash “puts up a fight” (which is cute, really…war machine would end him by polvarizing him.
Hazmat, clearly you have never read the comics.
Whiplash can and will put up a fight with Stark. He hits Stark with his electric whip and shorts out his outfit and its over.
Okay then i guess if i ever need to know anything about myself, i will come to you Rodney, since you happen to know it all.
Whiplash is a nobody, he USED to be somewhat a relevant part of our circle of life, he supposedly was kinda smart, but then he got his ass kicked by ironman, no (i cant emphesize this “no” enough) it was NOT a close fight. He was so ashamed of himself that he changed his name to whiplash (or was it blacklash? it was whiplash first i think)
So ironman brought him back to his piece of shit country (Sweeden? Iran?) and his mom and dad disowned him, even the mob refused to hang with him, this guy sucks, no one wants him, the fans hate him, and the people in the comic books admit that he has less worth then a pile of dog shit.
He was never a leader, he was always working for someone, like a bounty hunter or a little dog that humps the rich guys leg. He even wants to join the mob for a while
The best thing this guy ever did was suck Justin Hammers cock, hes a C class guy, he hangs with Rhyno and Scorpio, hes a nobody.
He was HOSPITALIZED because a dude went to his hotel and ambushed him! (i forgot the guys name)
Oh and i dont know if it was him (maybe it wasnt) but he cried like a little bitch while fighting electra because of his wifes death and Electra felt such pity on his worthless and spineless self that she let him live.
Again, it might have been Dynamo that did this…im sure it was Blacklash though
Okay, im sorry- Ironman fights Onslought, Radioactive Man, Dynamo, Cobalt Man i could name these dudes for hours.
Okay. Well see when the movie comes out what a dude with electric whips can do to a genius in a flying tank suit.
Oh wait, I already do, he got his ass kicked 2ce by him, in the comic books, its written like destiny. His fate is to be destroyed by the limiteless awesomeness that is IronMan.
Sorry.
And this genius plan of Whiplashs’s you speak of- in which he disables Ironmans suit
Okay:
In every comic book that has ironman in it, every, absolutely every comic book (go to your nearest book store and pick the first MARVEL ironman comic book) Ironman gets in a fight, and someone tries to disable his suit, okay- when has that EVER worked??
Captain America tried with the S.H.I.E.L.D. blue thing, and then he ended up with a broken jaw (no joke, read civil war) spiderman tried, but, its spiderman, of course he got thrown out of a sky scraper only to find hes out of web shooters
The only two times in my life that i have seen that work, is when Kang (now known as the vision thanks to the new writers that know nothing) put his hand through ironmans chest, and in that “What if?” comic book in which ironman gets punched in the chest, dies, and war machine has to avenge him
But both times are cheap. in the first Cap ends up in jail and ironman ends up living (civil war), and in the second one, well thats a “what if?” comic book
So because Whiplash in the comics was beat down by Iron Man you think he was a pushover? And you have read EVERY comic that had an appearance of Whiplash(or Blacklash)
In every comic EVERY hero always wins. Its the reason their name is on the book.
And honestly, do you think for a SECOND that they would make a sequel to one of the biggest movies of last year and line up Iron Man against some half assed slacker who would fall down from a dirty look?
The “first look” at Whiplash was half of his outfit and that guy looked like he would hand Iron Man his ass. Once they get an armoured outfit on him Iron Man is going to pee himself.
Have faith Grasshopper.
No, Ironman loses in Civil War, he gets embarrassed many times in Ultimate Ironman (but that doesnt count, those comic books SUCKED!) and…he actually dies in one.
Not all heroes win, ask Steve Rogers. I mean Bucky.
Im sure that theres going to be a pretty insanely awesome scene involving ironman or war machine facing some villain….but….bare with me here:
Theres 2 and a half villains right?
I say theres one fight scene in which ironman kills Whiplash
One with war machine pawning black widow (but not killing)
One in which Justin Hammer drops Tonys stock 3.4 points
And one in which Ironman and War Machine execute a BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING fighting techniche to kill 40,000 war tanks and 35,000 Jet planes Justin Hammer sent.
Thats a lot of action, prolly more then well see, but if you notice up there^^^^ whiplash gets his ass kicked.
I just dont understand how this lineup of villains can go up against war machine and ironman, and youve been reading comic books since before i was born so hopefully youre right, but according to my common sense (which has only been around for less then 18 years so im not that wise) this movie need a REALLY good plot to be good, and have a lot of tanks and planes being sent to fight ironman, because these villains dont seem threatening at all
I mean they already hinted that its going to be about ironman facing his “inner enemy” and hes going to have to “figure out how to be a hero” so im guessing the script might be good, not just a good guy vs bad guy film, and RDJR said it was a good script so…yeah lets hope its good and lets hope youre right
As for him looking menacing, He looked like a drunk guy that cant find a bar of soap to me. I dont like mean looking bad guys that look like they sell sperm and blood, i like the smart guys that can deliver action and are geniuses at being EVIL (green goblin, joker, mandarin [UGH!])
I find it amusing when you consider the Joker to be a valid enemy against Batman when the guy can’t hope to injure Batman at all, but Whiplash who invents weapons FOR Stark gets his ass fired and goes to Justin Hammer and becomes Whiplash with his own high tech armor and electowhips isnt good enough for the tin man.
And also amusing that on THIS week you call out Steve Rogers failure when he was just brought back to life as Captain America again.
1) Hes smart in the comics, but he looks like a bum in the movie, you were talking about his looks alone but not the comic book, in the comic book he was a piece of shit and in the picture helooks like a bum, pick one, they both suck.
The joker can injure batman. I could really make a huge argument about this but i feel that its not worth it.
2) **sigh**
Steve Rogers is fucking…Dead.
He never comes back from the dead, hes dead. Of course it looks like he was “brought back” but no. He wasnt. What happened is that MARVEL changes its writters and they always fucking keep bringing back people. If you want i could name you fuckign hundreds of times that a character was killed, and a new writter took over, and then that person was brought back…and the reader obviously goes like..”Wtf???”
They change everyhting. One of my fave characters for example- Kang, in the 60s they made him AWESOME, he was a king, an emperor, a ressurection of Reed Richards from the future. Now, hes “The vision”????? And hes portrayed as a lame dude that no one knows about that joined the New Avengers. And he apperantly now is NOT reed richards at all. This shit goes on and on. Wolverine killed Nick Fury, Bullseye killed Daredevil, oh….and the writters that do this THE MOST…and have NO DIGNITY…are the Spiderman ones…Doc Oc and the Green Goblin ESPECIALLY. Okay i wont get into it but, yeah.
Now Steve Rogers coming back lol…i havent heard about that to be honest, i hope its false, i mean the death of cap was such a great comic book, now theyre bringing him back? SHesshh…whatever
I mean i love marvel but they gotta fucking let people die the right way. Theyve never fucking let anyone die, like ever. So yeah, im sure all the fans are excited Caps back…yay…thanks Marvel.
Bringing Steve Rogers back is not the result of changing writers. Check some interviews. Its been said multiple times that his resurrection was always in the plan before they put out ish#25 last year when he died.
I think thats even worse, so theyre purposely doing this??
Well we brought up the captain america thing because your argument is that he didnt fail, i think he did, hence his death. But i guess you could have different opinions about this.
I dont hate Cap or anything its just that usually Death = Fail.
Don’t Mess with the Hoff. David Hasslehoff was pure genius as Nick Fury of Shield. Bring back the HOFF.
OK, OK, OK. So Sorry.
Be Well. Be Well Hassled.
Theocrat Issak
All you would need is a bottle of hard liquor and a hamburger and the Hoff is beat.
Hasslehoff is the only man to ride a tidalwave of shit and get worshipped for it. I can respect that about him but lets not pretend he is something he isnt.
Just sayin.
Oh stop bitching you pussies, if you want to see him fighting just watch the David Hasselhoff version from 1991
That version was good enogh and had enough Nick Fury action to last a century. Epic movie.
xD
I gotta agree with Hazmat. Whiplash has alwasy been a B List villain AT BEST. Iron Man has really never had a well known arch villain, even the Mandarin doesn’t appear too much outside of Iron Man books. Crimson Dynamo would be interesting but nones of his arch rivals are what non Iron Man fans would know intimately.
Daredevil has the Kingpin, Cap has the Red Skull, Thor has Loki, Spidey has too many to name and Superman has Darkseid…but Iron Man has Whiplash???
That being said, I’m sure Favreau will make it work.
Which is convenient since Iron Man has always been a B-List hero. Iron Man was never a topseller for Marvel, but still a steady title deserving of its long continuous run.
I don’t know about Iron Man being b-list since he was always co-leader of the Avengers then leader of SHIELD. CIVIL WAR pretty much centered around Iron Man. Perhaps not a top seller but I would say he was a b-list marvel hero. Darkhawk definetly B-List.
Cloak and Dagger B-List.
Sorry, despite his recognition he is still BList. Events that try to draw in readership hardly qualify him as AList especially when the weakest XBook in the catalog gets the same numbers as his solo title does.
Darkhawk, and Cloak &Dagger are Dlist.
You seem to think there are only two levels.
typo: Wouldn’t say he was a b-list Marvel Hero
D List characters never had their own series. D List would be more like Stingray and Tigra.
Never liked Sam Jackson as Fury, it was Marvel who were shameless taking advantage of the recent popularity of Jackson and re-inventing and marketing him as Fury which created this mess.
They should cut ties with Jackson, revert Fury back to his once proud form and move on. An actor shouldnt have power over a comic book character, a good actor (not Sam Jackson) will tell you no one is bigger than the character.
Jackson annoys me.
You got a little dust in your hair. Is that from the rock you are living under?
Sam Jackson is only “recently popular”??? and they are “re-inventing” Fury.
Sorry. YEARS ago the Marvel Ultimates line re-invented their entire world in which Fury was black and the artist used Jackson as his visual reference, which inspired the cameo and subsequent role as Fury.
The actor doesn’t have power over the character, the character had power over the actor. They made Fury look like Jackson in the comics (long before a movie was even optioned) so he was a logical choice to play him.
You should annoy yourself.
Yes, I know it has been years since the re-invention of Fury with jackson’s likeness but in the scheme of things that is recent. Fury comics and Sam Jackson have been around a long time, duh.
I am not making this a black thing, I just think Jackson sucks, it was retarded for Marvel to ever use his likeness.
As far as Jackson goes you are wrong, now that Marvel is using Jacksons likeness as Fury he has leverage over the character, which is wrong!
Ditch Jackson and move on, is all I am trying to say.
He has no leverage whatsoever. It was MARVEL that approached him and signed a deal, and it is the directors who tell him how to play the role. Jackson is playing along fine because aside from being pretty badass, he is also a geek. If he turned Diva and started manipulating the character and forcing issues, they could drop him in a heartbeat and put another actor in his place.
You know, like how Terrence Howard is no longer Rhodey. They seem really broken up about replacing him mid-stream, and he wasn’t even trying to throw his weight around.
I think Danny Glover could make a good Nick Fury in the Ultimates vein
He is too old for this shit.
Ha! Rodney made a Lethal Weapon joke!
Speaking of old, Nick Fury was in War World II, no?
Yeah, that was purely for the reference as Fury is supposed to be older anyways.
Time is speculative in comics. Kitty Pryde has been in comics since the 60s, but just a couple years ago she was old enough to go to college. lol
