dear_mun | dude, when's your franchise gonna end?

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.

Yeah. I think that counts.

Okay, so that's at least five times a day I need to check my email. At most, six or seven. How about you?

On an average day, I could check my email once every hour. I don't need to. But I could.

[(yay)]

I think that's something I could work around. Somehow.

You have no idea how glad I am to hear it.

Don't overexert yourself, though. You, too, need some continuous sleep in your life. Not just catnaps so you can be up every hour on the hour.

Well, I guess the email can go a few hours without being checked. I'll make up for it when I'm awake.

Smart idea. I'm sure your computer of choice would be pleased to get downtime, too.

Maybe that's for the best. The downtime, I mean. I don't want to wear out the computer.

Yeah, seriously. Do that for too long and it goes obsolete. You'd have to get a new one.

Yeah, you know, if the computer craps out, that's all right. I don't want another one.

I'm sure you could do something to upgrade it if that happened. Make it like new or what have you.

If I could fix the problem, I would. But I wouldn't move on to a different model.

Six-billion dollar computer? Build it better, make it faster...do it harder? I don't know the rest of the song off the top of head.

Honestly? I like it just the way it is.

Just make sure you keep the antivirus up to date and you should be fine.

That I can do.

Then it sounds like you and your computer are going to have a long, happy life together. Possibly.

Sounds like I get the happy ending after all.

For now, at least, it seems that way. Or something like it.

Yeah, yeah. Old Stark curse. I hear you. Don't worry. I haven't forgotten how to be realistic.

Oh please. There's no curse. Don't say that. You're a man of science! You can't go around talking about curses. Next thing you know, you'll be asking for Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice, huh? You know, if we say it again, rumor is, he'll appear.

Then we should just not say it again. Unless we're talking about the star.

...no, not even then, because what if the star appeared? That'd be. That'd be really bad.

Michael Keaton?

No, I kid. I'd rather a star not appear right here too. Living, you know. I like it. The longer we can do it, the better.
