MAN. Totally. And I get there may be compression artifacts on a scene change when that happens, IF it happened, but then ALSO having partial frames? MAKE UP YOUR MIND, PEOPLE.

SO true, that bugged me a lot more than the preternaturally awesome videography (because if you're allowed to caricature a craft, the most optimal one is your own).

Also I think Tony Stark's theme is Drunk By Noon, by the Handsome Family. Also also I haven't seen a theatre-trailer for Iron Man yet, which is... something.

The song is either "It's Rainin' Men" by The Weathergirls, "Mr. Roboto" by Styx, or "Big Rock Candy Mountain" as performed by George Jones and Porter Wagoner.

Wikipedia says that Tony Stark's favourite song as a teenager was Iron Man, and that's why he named himself that. HOW STUPID IS THAT?!?!

So stupid that I would have prefered it to be "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and he called himself Iron Man because he WAS IN A FRIGGING METAL BIOSUIT WITH ROCKETS, LASERS, AND A FRIGGIN JETPACK ALL MADE FROM A METAL DERIVED FROM IRON. Needless to say, I feel your pain over the Black Sabbath references.
