dude, when's your franchise gonna end?

[therealgenius]

It's got to end soon. At least, with Tony's part of the story. Look, the man is getting on in years, and he's not fooling anyone with dyeing his hair. You saw The Soloist, you know he's gray. Soon he won't be able to do any of his stunts at all, and you can't have a good Iron Man movie if Iron Man can't do any of his stunts.

[iron man 2 wasn't any good though shut your mouth]

And he's running out of Big Bad Countries In All The Movies And Books In Recent History to piss off. The Middle East is done, Russia is done, now it's China. If the second Avengers combines the Super Hot Villain Of The Month with North Korea, it's over. It's done. Unless he sparks another crisis in Cuba, where's he going from there?

Maybe we'll get a super god alien space movie that's tolerable after that. You know, more alien god problems, less boring shit on Earth. Iron Man and Captain America is on Earth. We have enough Earth movies. Seriously. I don't even care if the new bad aliens are, like, the lizard people from Battleship, it'd be more interesting than whiny human problems.

I mean, it can't go on forever, right? No one wants to see Iron Wheelchair. Not even me, and that's saying something.

I was more thinking along the lines of developing an obsession with cherry pie.

[therealgenius]

Well, your outfit is red...

[arach_nerd]

What else would I wear? Sting's codpiece?

Seriously though, my life is weird enough without having to take a trip down Mulholland Drive.

[therealgenius]

Oh please don't remind me of that. That goes into...that goes into territory I'd be okay never getting back into again.

Isn't you life kind of...not a thing anymore? Because of whatever, you're not. Uh. Around.

[arach_nerd]

Like that's actually gonna stick for more than a year.

[therealgenius]

You think they'll bring you back as a zombie, or is that another series we don't mention?

[arach_nerd]

Would you wanna talk about a universe where you've killed and devoured everyone you care about?

[therealgenius]

It'd be better than getting kicked into space, wouldn't it?

[arach_nerd]

Yeah, see, that's actually the exact opposite of true.

[therealgenius]

You say that like I have anyone to care about in my universe.
