I'm Afraid of Americans.

Iron Man set to David Bowie and NIN.
Tony, Obadiah, and a whole lot of power issues.
Xvid, 30MB

95% put together last night between 10PM and 2AM after wrapping up the transition cleanup on the Iron Man - Lucifer video. I loved the song in college, but hadn't thought about it in years until billytaylor listed it in the music field of a post. This isn't Tony/Obadiah in the sense that of "hay guys, let's splice in gay porn without heads or something," but when one of the main characters of a vid is as touch-feely as Obadiah is and when the vid is also set to a NIN production with David Bowie? Yeah. It's hard to avoid, so one of the alternate titles for this was "Tony Stark and the Pantload of Wrong." The other is in the credits.

Anybody who laughs at the line re: combing and hair gets a knuckle goddamn sandwich, by the way.

Here via amonitrate's place, and I just wanted to say

Oh. My. God.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod.

Wonderful. Scary. Touching. Fantastic. Brilliant. Frightening. Pure bloody marvellous.

I've loved all your vids to date but this is definitely the best one.

Dear Lord above, Obadiah! Eeek! Ripping out the heart!! Smiling!!! The same way he was smiling in the photo with Howard!!!! And all the touching and invasion of Tony's personal space before that - oh, damn. He was planning this forever, wasn't he?

I have to go watch this all over again.

GOD. The Tony-Obadiah relationship is so messed up onscreen. I mean, when I walked into the theatre, I was totally armed with the knowledge that Jeff Bridges's character was supposed to be evil, and yet, I kept being like. NO, WAIT, IS YINSEN SUPPOSED TO BE EVIL? HOW CAN OBADIAH BE EVIL? And then, uh, he kind of turned out to be. Despite the fact that he touches Tony all the time. And covers for him. And just. Gah.

In short, I'm glad the creepy and weird and the RIPPING TONY'S HEART OUT came through for you. :D
