God's Gonna Cut You Down.

Iron Man on a Johnny Cash mission. Rick Rubin produces.
XVid, 25MB.

shoiryu pointed me to this version of the song back in the day for Papa Winchester, but ever since that DOOMTHREAD-PRIME conversation about how post-movie Tony still sees the world as black and white, with-me-or-against-me in essentially the same way as he did at the beginning of the movie, though with the lines of good and bad redrawn a bit, this has been obsessively in my head as the song for post-Afghanistan Tony.

So yeah, a vid about Tony Stark's little proto-soul and, uh, not much more nuanced worldview. More than any of the other vids, it baaaadly needs recutting once the DVD is out, but OMG IT IS DONE NOW IT IS DONE.

WHEN MARIA GETS UP TO LEAVE TONY NOTICES THE EYE SHE GIVES OBIE, REMEMBERS THE SAME SORT OF GLINT IN OBIE'S FROM THE MORNING, WHEN HE HAD DUG TONY'S TIE OUT FROM UNDER THE PILE THAT HAD BECOME HIS CLOTHES.

REMEMBERS HOW OBIE WRAPPED THE RED SLIP OF A THING AROUND HIS NECK, STANDING BEHIND TONY.

REMEMBERS THE FEEL OF OBIE AGAINST HIS BACK, HIS PALMS ON HIS SHOULDER, AND THE SANDPAPER TOUCH OF HIS BEARD ALONG HIS NECK WHERE HIS LIPS FOUND HIS EAR.

TONY RECOGNIZES THE SMILE IN HIS MOTHER, AND HE'S NOT SURE IF THE FEELING IN HIS GUT IS SHAME OR RESIGNATION.

HE BEGINS TO FEEL SORRY FOR HOWARD THEN, AND THEN HE STOPS.

IT'S SOMETHING HE GETS BETTER AT LATER, WHEN HE'S OLDER.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
