I'm pretty sure the following doesn't contain spoilers if...
a) You know Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark
b) Tony Stark is Iron Man
...but if it does, sorry. And I wasn't sure if this should go in SC2 General (since it's actually about the SC2 trailer), Art & Media (since it deals with the movie Iron Man), or Null (since it's a small thing I noticed and wanted to see if anyone else noticed).

Alright so I went to the midnight showing of Iron Man tonight and during the scene in the film where Robert Downey Jr. dons the new and improved Iron Man suit, it looks almost identical to the StarCraft 2 trailer of the Marine getting armored. After the show some friends of mine (who are also psyched about SC2) mentioned that they thought that way as well.

Anyone else see Iron Man and jump to that conclusion? A friend suggested it may be an homage, but I don't see why that would be. Just an interesting tidbit of information to ponder, I suppose. :)

Blizzard needs to sue them for more money. ^^

And since when do superhero movies took place in the Middle East if the Iron Man comic was made back in the 60s?

Or a thief. Even though neosteel made Marines is far more powerful than Iron.

Heh, I thought that exact thing at that scene. It was rather cool though.

Chances are they were done independently and just happened to look similar.

It wasn't really iron, it was a gold-titanium alloy.

And I was thinking that too when I saw it.

Off Topic: So like who plays (or will play) war machine in Iron man? was that bigger version of iron man war machine? or the iron man prototype (silver/uncolored) War machine? becuase i remember that war machine is piloted by a black guy, but the black guy in the movie is way to nice (lol) to betray tony. so wudafux?

and hey after i saw a commercial for Iron man on MTV they showed A preview of Sc2 on MTV2 .... i was kinda freaking out, I cant believe Sc is going to become mainstream >:l (atleast around where i live).

War Machine wasn't in this Iron Man, but they do elude to him being in the sequel. He'll be played by Terrence Howard (the guy you said was too nice).

i think War machine was shown after thinking about it. When Rhodes said "maybe next time baby" it was liek a cameo for the silversuit becuase warmachine's suit is (shiny)grey and black.

and ithink the huge iron man that was used by the bad guy is called the "iron monger"

Both of them stole it from something else. I'm pretty sure it was in an anime over a decade ago that was like giant mech vs giant mech. The whole sequence was them attaching panels onto the mechs exoskeleton and welding them on there. Can't for the life of me remember which one it is if it was a movie or just a show. Pretty sure it was a movie though.

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I did not see the ending credits. I hate it when they do that, put something special at the end of the credits. They should put it before the credits :D

Then what would the incentive be to watch the credits? :P

I knew they'd have something at the end but I really coudn't be bothered to see it...

Gundam Wing? :P

Digimon also did it.

And many, many other things.

Ultimate Nick Fury is based on Samuel L. Jackson. So it makes sense...
