My mission, which I have clearly accepted already like a retard: take a two hour movie on how awesome Tony Stark is, and turn it into a three minute, forty second vid about his emo sadpants lonely.

Vid must also set to pansy-ass falsetto indie.

...

Which is not to say, for those Hornblower folk that got past the words "Tony Stark", that I'm ditching HH fandom. I wasn't kidding when I said that Hornblower fandom and I moved in together and that I got rid of my treasured kidney-shaped couch for him. Our little aquarium with Horatio and William Bush is doing OK, and we're still living together in the condo. It's just that with the warm weather, I'm having some long, boozy evenings out with Iron Man.

By analogy, Star Wars is the aggressive outdoor kitty I put food out for and try to cuddle every once in a while, but prolonged exposure makes me want to claw my skin off from hives.

Female relative of the second in command. Like the anee-san, but not as scary. You know, they use his place to crash after drug deals, and she makes them all tea and good, homestyle cooking and doesn't ask questions if she doesn't want to hear the answer.

Wait, does that mean she'd be a relative of Obediah's? Because Obediah would kind of be the second in command. And the storyline of the manga would clearly be that he tries to bring about a gangland coup.

Mecha get involved.

(I was reading about how a lot of yakuza have yakuza vanity plates. Now that we've had this conversation, I will never look at the STARK4 and STARK5 license plates we see the same way again. Also, the product placement driving of Audi's now makes far m ore sense.)

Hmmm. Okay, that could be really interesting. And put a whole spin on Pepper sticking up for Stark at the end. GANGLAND WARS. Before you know it, Tony Leung will in a movie pretending to be Tony Stark.

(The Audi was so beautiful in that movie that I think I actually moaned out loud.)

It would be awesome. I imagine lots of reflected lights in smoked Maybach windows and long, significant glances through vapor rising from expensive, yet simple and classic, teapots. Tony has never slept with Pepper out of respect for Obediah.

(I HAD NO IDEA AUDIS COULD BE THAT GORGEOUS. Like, the one Stark drives with the engine that's visible in the back? Holy shit. Holy shit! IT IS GORGEOUS.)

ALSO. WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT AS ANALOGY TO JAPANESE-STYLE GANGLAND ACTIVITIES OPREATING ON FRINGE OF POLIE SOCIETY. Y/Y.

YYY.

And really, it all works out with Japanese culture, doesn't it-- the idea of family responsibility in the Starks and Obediah's disloyalities in trying to overthrow family, and Pepper being the subservient woman with hidden steel And Stark's philosophy (do it right, do it once) works SO WELL with gangland assassinations....

Also, OK, I would not say no to a heavily tattooed RDJ-played Tony Stark. I'm just saying. Big, giant-ass Japanese smithing gods down one arm by light of the forge while in making the Iron Man mask? Man.

Granted, OK, Tony Leung-played Stark is unlikely to sport that kind of muscle, but man. I wonder what would be the equivalent of Stark trying to take the company out of weapons development? Some kind of Michael Corleon, Godfather kinda thing?

Also. You know that Richard would have been asked to awork his way up in the organization, but would have turned it down. :>
