Marvel Movie Armors Are Good

Marvel films are doing a nice job with the armors, first the huge Doctor Doom upgrade, and now the new picture of Iron Man (courtesy of Entertainment Weekly) looks quite good.

Well done, Marvel films!!

I’m not to fused about the Doom Armor, but Iron Man looks pretty swish.

Sweet. That’s so badass it almost makes up for Willem Dafoe’s Goblin mask.

Yeah, the Goblin mask will certainly stand out as a low point, won’t it?

The Goblin mask was terrible, but, to be fair, it was nearly the only downside to the first Spider-Man movie.
On average, I’d say most of the Marvel characters have enjoyed pretty faithful translations in terms of costumes.
This Iron Man image is particularly awesome. I hope it looks that great in action.

Adi Granov worked on the movie armour design, right? Because this looks very close to his current comic design.
(That is a very good thing, by the way. Looks awesome.)

Doom redux looks too much like a poor man’s Darth Vader to me, but Iron Man, that looks awesome. I was wondering how they were going to make the armour seem believably functional…but this sucker is *stylish*, even.

Doctor Doom was the part of the Fantastic Four film that REALLY sucked. His look, his origins, his powers, Doom was the worst part of that movie hands down. The armor here doesn’t impress me that much either, it looks too CG for its own good.

It’s not CG.

Doom still looks like piss, but the Iron Man armour is pretty sweet.

I agree, FF sucked mostly because the made Doom, one of the greatest Marvel villains, suck.
That picture of Tony does look good, can’t wait ’till the repulsor blast!

They better not screw up the repulsor blast!
I’m hoping the effects in this movie are mind-blowing.
