Well, in the movie, you're looking at maybe a two-week period in the man's life. He decides to use this new, amazing, nearly unlimited power source to. Posted by Zarya at 1:41 AM on May 25, 2008Ĥ. Ten Rings were able to get Stark, so who's to say they wouldn't have been able to get the leftover missiles as well. So there were still some left, and then the caravan was attacked on the way back to wherever.

If I'm understanding the movie right, for the test, only one (of four) of the Jericho missiles was fired. Then they almost immediately kidnapped Stark, and realized who he was, and decided, hey, while we have him, let's have him make us the missiles, for free!Īs for how they got them anyways. Which would be why they hadn't tried to buy any from Stane yet. My way of seeing it is that maybe they (Ten Rings) didn't know about the missile until Stark actually tested it out there. So he had no idea it could be used as a weapon until he was almost done making it.Īs far as the Jericho missile thing. Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I thought you said you were done making weapons? I'm just gonna echo what everyone else said about him initially just making the (Mark II & III) suit for flight, not as a weapon. Posted by arnicae at 3:35 PM on May 24, 2008 and I'll watch the movie that they teased at the end! Still, I waited through the end of the credits. The part of the movie that doesn't make sense to me is that Tony, the new pacificist, rather than creating a device to solve world hunger or make all guns stop working, creates something even more dangerous than Jericho.Īlso, I thought that while it was very fun, it was a little too 70's Bond meets 80's action movie for me - down to Paltrow playing a weak Moneypenny analog and Terrence Howard playing Tony's sidekick. Having just seen the Jericho SuperDuperWeapon fire, they had the bright idea to try to get Tony to build one for them while they extorted $$$ out of Stone. The terrorists were offered $ to kill a random guy in a random convoy - but then they discovered they had Tony. Why else would he openly admit to Tony at the Gala that he had been responsible for locking Tony out? the "golden egg" comments in the final scene) but he didn't care so much about the tech as that he would be in charge and could do what he wanted.

He knew he was killing off his most brilliant inventor (e.g. Stone wanted control of the company - so he could see stuff to anyone he wanted openly. Yeah, I have to say I had Stone fingered for the villain from the moment that Time magazine cover showed up on the scene in the award montage with Stone (first) standing a la Bill Gates "A New Era?" and then the next Time cover with Stone standing in the background with Tony, all bright-eyed and excited standing in front. Iron Man failed at making Stane believable or sensible. What kind of moron advertises a nefarious plan to a super-genius, then arms himself with an inferior weapon and goes on a criminal rampage, then goes up against said super-genius and his superior weapon, FOR NO REASON!? I can't think of any reason, besides actually insanity, why Stane didn't slit Stark's throat, start selling the suit to the army or whatever and sit back with his company and his phat lewts.Ī compelling villain is the meat of a hero's story. His own flunkies told him that their suit was not as sophisticated as Stark's. So, why does he put the suit on himself and go on a rampage!? If he wanted Stark dead, he could have killed him when he stole the Arc Reactor. Ok - he wants a valuable weapon so he can sell it. He finds out that Stark builds a super suit, and he decides to have his egg-heads develop one too. He wants the power, but he also wants to sell weapons to everyone. My biggest beef with the movie was this: Stane wants control of the company out of greed and ego, basically.
