Apparently, this was a super-late post made through my drafts. Yes, it's been stuck for a year. Now, I know that Spiderman and X-Men were ruling the superhero movie scene (no doubt). But since I'll publish this on everyone's favorite throwback day named as Thursday, oh, well...
I heard some comparisons between superheroes on which of
them really emerged for this year. A little says “Iron Man is the coolest.” And
the other would say “No. Superman is always way better than iron Man.”
Though I have to admit – comparing these two toughies may be
unfair, as:
First, they are from different comic-producers; which means
that they have different creators, teams, and personalities.
And second, they have their own “prime time.”
Anyway, going back on this game…
Well, if we’re talking history here, I’ll say Superman was
always, and is always the best and the most recognized superhero. It’s like
banging the question of “Who the hell is the Iron Man in the first place
anyway?” inside your mind. Before the younger Stark was born, the DC Comics’
main man was already in the circulation of both drawn-colored-and-ballooned
strips, and film reels.
Some would even speculate like, “Heck, even Wolverine can
top any of these two superb patriots.” Yeah right, since the people from X-Men
was more recognized than the Avengers.
But… nah, out of 5
(or 4 or even 6) superhero movies (that actually came from any of these three
things: comic books, action figured toys, and cartoon series) that went on
public screening this year, I’ll say that this year, we saw Tony Stark flying
the highest among them all.
Forget Jor-El’s son who got the earth name of Clark Kent for that
matter. Yeah, right. He may came from the Krypton planet, and Iron Man may not
made it way past the clouds of his home planet. But certainly his popularity
and impact made it way above than its stratosphere.
Perhaps, maybe Wolverine got a bit of the advantage of being
mortal; and the fact that Hugh Jackman is still the Hugh Jackman we saw in the
latest X-Men generation of actors. And the fact that the team-up of Bruce
Willis and Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson in G.I. Joe’s second film turned out to
have a less impact and more criticism from the reviews.
But the third Iron Man motion picture turned out to be one
of the epic blockbusters for 2013. No wonder why they’re called as the hottest
superhero movie of this summer. Can you blame the Man of Steel from stealing
the nation’s spotlight from what is supposed to be “Independence day?” That
would have a bit of a factor.
Look, Superman’s latest installment was close to be the
best, too. It tells a story regarding Superman’s real origin – without any
major rivalries encountered except for General Zod’s forces. But is that all?
130 minute-flick may seemed not be enough for that. Seriously.
Unlike Shane Black’s direction which appeared to close the
entire trilogy of Stark Industries’ chairman emeritus’ super-humane adventures.
John Favreua may be sick and tired of doing the chores, and Happy instead
leveled up to be one of the film’s executive producers. From OBB to CBB and the
follow-up credits scene, it’s like a total flashback sequence, on how Stark and
Dr. Maya Hansen spent a night together in Bern, to his supposed to be present
day-life with Pepper Potts, on how Aldrich Killian took everything away (I
mean, everything and in almost instant way) from the protagonist, and how Tony
avenged to get back on the Mandarin.
And he got that “attitude” despite not having an unlimited
supply of patience. That’s the real swagger for you.
So, as this year may end, and a lot of superhero
installments would take place… indeed, Iron Man did dominate this 2013.
