Then again of course this is Tony Stark's first foray as a hero utilizing his suits for good, so he's not all that versed with battling enemies, and magical ones at that too. The action sequences do look a bit lacklustre, because the Elementals are basically one-trick ponies, and it doesn't take much effort for our hero to dispatch them one by one. But to speed things up to meet run time requirements, it turns out that Tony Stark already has a whole array of suits back in his penthouse, and can call upon the fancy variations to do battle with the Elementals who are in the quest to recover the Mandarin's power rings to resurrect him. Nonetheless you know the drill as plot elements are kept quite consistent - they build a crude suit of armour, and break away from imprisonment. I suppose purists would already foam at the mouth by now. There are a couple of changes to how Tony got his heart injured and had to rely on an over-sized pacemaker, but this time he got help from good friend Rhodes, since he's now an employee of Tony, and has nothing to do with the Air Force. For this animated version, since they wanted to fuse his origins to that of chief villain The Mandarin, we have it set in the Orient, where Stark Enterprises got itself a project to lift an aged old monument from the buried underground, only to unleash some prophecy which involves the second coming of The Mandarin.

With the movie version, it got updated to reflect some Middle East sentiments. The original Stan Lee version had Tony Stark develop his suit of armor during the Vietnam War, since this character was developed in the 60s. As Nick comes back to life, they make peace and she dies.The only reason why I picked this up was because it's on cheap sale, and it doesn't hurt to see how Marvel would have envisioned their hero way before the live action feature film starring Robert Downey Jr hit the big screens, right? The Invincible Iron Man is an origin story, but as far as origins are concerned, they are open to updates and reinterpretation.

Or the metaphysical way of looking at this is that Annie gives up her life for the sake of Nick. This could be a mere coincidence that Nick’s treatment has started working and he’s gained consciousness as he’s not dying anymore. She does that, she apologizes to Nick, she makes peace with him. She doesn’t know why but she feels she needs to see Nick (the body that is in coma).

Annie visits him in the hospital and she can now fully hear Nick’s spirit. They find the body and Nick remains in coma in the hospital. Annie tips the authorities about the location of Nick’s dying body. In the process of saving Nick, she gets shot. As absurd as the explanation is, that is unfortunately the factor that gets Annie close enough to Nick until she finally hears him in the corridors.Īfter this, Annie decides to save him because she knows that what she’s done is terrible and doesn’t want Nick to die. There is a metaphysical relationship that is building between the two of them. Nick’s spirit is also realizing this about Annie and is perhaps connecting more with Annie. She’s actually quite similar to Nick but the circumstances she has grown up in has made her the hateful person she is. My theory is that she’s directly responsible for the state Nick is in. Why does she suddenly hear start hearing Nick? There is no sound explanation for this. Nick is not seen or heard by anyone, not till the end when Annie finally hears him. While he’s not dead, he is going to die soon if not found. This has happened because Nick is having a near death experience. What you will need to accept is the concept that Nick is not dead, yet he is a spirit.
