Dr Archeville Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Iron Man: Armored Adventures is an upcoming television series which is set to debut on the Nicktoons Network in 2009. 17 year old Tony Stark nearly loses his life and his father in a fatal plane crash one day at the time when Howard Stark refuses Obadiah Stane's Earth Mover Project. Building a device that keeps him alive, Tony Stark then builds a high-tech armor and becomes Iron Man. With the help of Jim Rhodes, Happy Hogan, and Pepper Potts, Iron Man fights the enemies of World Peace which often leads him in conflict with the evil Mandarin. He also fights other villains like Crimson Dynamo, Madame Masque, Blizzard, and Whiplash. Read more here, and see the trailer here. Link to comment
Geez3r Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My initial feeling at reading the synopsis was utter dread, but it might not be so bad after viewing the trailer. I want this to be good, but I'm not sure I can ignore the fact that Iron man's a teenager. Link to comment
Veiled Malice Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I want to use some harsh language here. Too bad this is a PG-13 board. Anyway, what the hell is up with Tony being a teenager? This is the influence of those damn animes, I swear to god. Apparently, the people that make these things don't think adults watch cartoons, and think kids need someone their age to "relate to". This is crap. I honestly don't care how good it is, I will not be able to wrap my head around some snot nose punk in an Iron Man outfit. This isn't Spiderman, Tony Stark isn't Peter Parker, and Pepper Pots isn't Mary Jane. Their shoehorning of established canon into a more pleasing shape will backfire, mark my words. Oh, and PS? The Mandarin looks like Queen Beryl. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 *has an odd image of Stark in his newest armor, the Sailor Moon Suit.* "In the name of Capitalism, I will punish you!" Link to comment
Bendigeidfran Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thank you for that, vivid image, Dr. It was something we did not need. Link to comment
golentan Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I don't know, it sort of gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. 8-) I don't think I'm going to watch this, though, looks too cartoony. And yes, I know it's a cartoon, but that has nothing to do with how they try to pull off the story. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Premieres tonight on Nickelodeon. Maybe. The nicktoons website has a countdown up, indicating it starts tonight at 7pm EST. But my DVR says it premieres Sunday at 4pm. Link to comment
Hellbound Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I don't think I'm going to watch this, though, looks too cartoony. And yes, I know it's a cartoon, but that has nothing to do with how they try to pull off the story. Blame the Cell-Shaded Animation. Crap, I'm a computer graphics major and even I hate this cheap-jack attempt to reduce animation costs even further than they've already cut down. This is precisely the reason why I'm not in the least bit psyched about the show. Link to comment
