ITT: western /m/ media
Watch the skies coming at you. A hero of metal hue. He locks horns with disaster, for the red and the white and the blue.
What's his best armor? What's his best story?
>>23651087Always liked this one
>>23651087The heroes reborn was one I liked>>23651104Modular is a pretty sharp style. And this one was spiffy
>>23651087Ive always been partial to the ultimate design
>>23651087Powerwise, Bleeding Edge, or Superior Ironman, I didn't care for the design of those though. >Best StoryI hate to agree with people that Ironman is so C-list he never had a classic storyline, but I see the criticism. Probably the best of what he has is Demon in a Bottle, and I'm really fond of Armor Wars. Also his fight against Doom (the one where they accidentally time travel to King Arthur's day) is underrated, but probably too silly for most people.
I just learned about this and am planning to read it asap because the premise reminded me of a film noirs Orguss and Big O
The cancellation still stings
Imagine getting written out of your own series going from Americanized gundam to another boring ass fucking battle royale
>>23651087
>lol destroid
>>23650653is that a Gallus-J
This show is pretty fun.
Needs no introduction
>>23651173>I hate to agree with people that Ironman is so C-list he never had a classic storyline,The problem with comics is that so often people are only ever really looking for single stand out stories they can point at. A Dark Knight Returns or a Kraven's Last Hunt but a lot of characters don't really have too many major hits like that. I still wouldn't call him C list by any stretch, especially not when people who watch the MCU say it like they were the defining triumph of the character. He's headlined HUNDREDS of comic books. You don't do that a C lister. Not by any stretch. C listers are characters who may get a book but it's cancelled inside a year or two.

>>23651393People talk about him like he was almost Peacemaker levels of obscure before the films. He might've been B-list enough that Black Sabbath didn't deliberately write the song about him, but he wasn't so B-list that it's not reasonable people assume they did either.
Unicorn Warriors Eternal was a weird show but I liked the robot.
>>23651496I thought the Sabbath song was about the same short story Iron Giant was based on?
>>23651639I think they said it was an original idea or something, either way the point is it wasn't actually written with any knowledge of the Marvel character, despite the name and the more modern use of it in relation to him.
>>23651087Earth X to both
>>23651244Huh so there were episodes where we don’t see the people in the cockpits after all. And that does look like a destroid lol which is funnier because some episodes were animated by Sunrise
>>23651496Modern "nerd" culture has been warped so badly by the MCU that you'd think none of this shit even existed before it.
>>23651821Iron Man never reached the heights of Spider Man or X-Men.The whole Avengers were B-listers until the MCU, with zero cultural presence outside comic books. Mostly because they never got any decent cartoon adaptation in the 80s or 90s, every attempt fell totally flat.
>>23651828See this is the exact kind of moronic MCU brain rot I mean. An idiot so retarded from the movies that he honestly cannot process the idea of people actually reading the comics and the comics themselves being famous outside a cartoon.
>>23651839I was there, dumb fuck. Iron Man and the Avengers were niche within a niche, nobody cared about them. Meanwhile every person in the country had 2 copies of X-Men #1 and everyone was reading the fucking Clone Saga and seething over it. Nobody remembers a single run of Thor, Hulk, Avengers, Iron Man, etc from after the fucking 70s until those gay movies came out.And the ONLY reason those jobbers even got movie pushes was because Marvel sold off the rights to their actual big sellers, Spiderman and X-Men (and somehow they convinced them to pay real money for F4 lmao).
>>23651847>Nobody remembers a single runCitation needed. You're an idiot. You probably caught the tail end of the 90s an think it speaks for the entire history of comics. You're an idiot.
>>23651195They did the HMER dirty. Lazy and disappointing way to kill it off. Finale was just bad writing and it ruined the whole thing for me.Good show though.
>>23650655Lacking in /m/ scenes>>23650656Any good?
>>23652773
Tina a cute
>>23651847Iron Man literally had his own TV show in the 1990s
>>23654116And a toy line.
>>23654125Yeah it was great
>>23654116yeahafter they did X-Men and Spider-Man they had to fall back on the b-list
>>23654163I really liked those old marvel figures. They were cheap and had limited articulation but they made like EVERY FUCKING CHARACTER. And you could get them. Cheap. It wasn't like 30 bucks for a marvel legends is today. Even the original Legends line would give you cool stand or a comic book or something. I hate current action figures. It's not just the actual price but they're all scalped to hell. I miss the 3.75 line.
>>23654122FUCKING YES ROBOCAIN!!!!
>>23654116https://youtu.be/5NBt8kaIQEY?si=kiQs0N505-KexSVY
>>23654116And nobody watched it, which is why it lasted half as long as Spiderman and only a quarter as long as the X-men series
>>23654116>>23654125He was also in MvC
>>23651087>What's his best armor?Model 42.
>>23655013
>>23654966So was Marrow though
>>23651871It's all just X-Men fans seething that they lost their eternal second banana slot to the techbro character because of Fox shitting up their movies.
Man the 80s really did like ancient warring factions. Though I do wish they were a bit more creative with the names. The Goodguylons vs the Badions!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ve7IoBZaUU
>>23654959I gew up with reruns of the Iron Man cartoon on Fox Kids.
>>23656518Didn't like the reboot that much (it has its moments but forgettable compared to the original) but I did like the redesigns for these guys
>>23657248There's this weird part of me that wishes it was worse. Like it wasn't even interesting to be bad. It was just the most bland thing ever put. Being bad at least might have been memorable.
Last of the Atlases is pretty good
>>23657292It did seem like it mostly understood the satire and adapted it to modern realities, but yeah, it just didn't leave much of an impression. Definitely in the "oh yeah, that was a thing" category.
>>23659488The problem is that there's a special kind of irony about the anti corpo message when it comes from a major corpo banking off nostalgia.
>>23655299> peter cullen voices the main bad guy Optimus, No!!!!
>>23651534The robot is literally from return to oz.
>>23661148That might be why I liked it so much.
>>23661156based
>>23661160God I hate seeing western cartoons try to be anime.
>>23651087I've always liked Arno's armor.
>>23661231Then you're in the wrong thread faggot.
>>23661681Yeah because there's totally not other mediums to explore and discuss. Fucking, cartoonfag.
>>23661795Then discuss them thanks for bumping my thread.
>>23661115I know people rag on it, but I think Matrix 4 is going to age well on account of that. It's basically one big rejection of the premise of being a 'Matrix Awakens' type franchise restarter for WB.
>>23655025Holy shit I remember this. These dudes were searching for the mythical creature "man" that was sleeping in a desert or something.
>>23663107>It's basically one big rejection of the premise of being a 'Matrix Awakens' type franchise restarter for WB.qrd?
>>23663107I think Matrix 2 and 3 being kind of shitty also were a good reason for people to want to give them a mulligan.
>>23663352Short version is WB really wanted to take a second stab at The Matrix as a franchise. The film they got with Matrix Resurrections was really more a great big middle finger to needless legacy sequels. The first fifteen minutes is a pretty direct comment on its own existence, through the thin pretence of a resurrected Neo in a new simulation having been made to think the film trilogy were the events of a game series he directed.The studio wants a new game, with or without him, and the experience of trying to make a focus-grouped, 'mind bending' but safe and like the old ones sequel drives him into such a miserable mental state it begins to break the machine conditioning. It's about some other stuff too but that's the most direct.>>23663365I suppose it depends what you went in looking for. I went in wondering if there was any way they could do this without fundamentally betraying the spirit of the original and came out reasonably satisfied they'd found the answer. I think that's going to age better than if it was a solid but soulless retread.
>>23663107I never actually saw this and forgot it was a thing.
>>23651339Recently caught it on Tubi. Made me almost buy those expensive Ramen Toys recreations.Also surprised it has an episode that could be considered a proper ending too (the one where the bad guys summon a chthulu monster)
>>23661231I give the ones by Gendy a pass since he's one of the only western animators to "get it" so to speak Oh and obviously XLR too
>>23663517That's why I posted Genndy and XLR robot.
>>23663517>GendySHAKE ITBAKE IT
>>23650653
Death's Head counts, yes?
>>23651244>>23651780Where can I watch ExoSquad?
>>23664269back in the day I got into him through his solo run imported as the Marvel UK bannerironically I had NO clue about his TF connections despite being big into G1 USA, back then I think I vaguely recall sentence to the effect of "there's some UK TF comics" was the extent of what I'd heard by the mid 90sthe UK Zoids comic is pretty neat, really lush art and an early paycheck for... somebody who became a name, I want to say Grant Morrison
>>23664495I'm sure there's a torrent for it in pirate bay. Alternatively, you can watch the whole thing on YT. https://youtu.be/KINV-aDKXck?si=yi9uYIAaQjJPR5r2
We need more Jaegers in here.
I've been looking for this shit for years. l thought his name was Armand van Buuren, not Helden.
>>23665243Jaegers you say?
>>23651215>titanfall was killed for apex legends and the lore states that titans were retired from service>tga 2025 ended with another shitty hero shooter overwatch clone LMAO
>>23668542Not even made by respawn but devs that left actually stupid they didn't try to make a new mecha shooter
