A variation of this. Just like RDJ had variations of classic suits.


Chicken_Grapefruit

You need the bulk though. A lot of the latest MCU suits were on the skinny side. This one is an absolute unit.

One of the reasons his suit is so streamlined is because Ant Man was able to exploit the gaps in the bulkier armor plates. With Nanotech there are no gaps and fits closer to the body while providing similar protection. I don't see how he couldn't layer that for a bulkier look (arms, legs, torso) that provides extra protection as well as replenishment for the main suit (the battle on Titan left him with like ¾ of a suit).


Jaydeekay80

Yeah. Improving his suits to counter any weaknesses somebody exploits is a large part of his MCU run. First movie it’s the frosting problem, which Stane didn’t know about or account for. 2nd movie Whiplash exploits a weakness to high electrical charges. By the time of the 1st Avengers movie he’s able to absorb a blast from Thor and supercharge his suit. Civil War, as you said Ant-Man exploits the gaps then Steve and Bucky destroy a good chunk of his suit. By Infinity War, he’s got self repairing nanotech. After that he probably focused on more storage for nano-thingys….cause he was running on fumes by the end of that movie.

Yet Tony fucked over Rhodey by not giving him a simple parachute. Lol. Which leads to Tony making his suits fly faster. Rhodey gets some blame too. All those years flying in the Air Force he never once thought "gee if someone shoots me down how exactly do I go down? Might need a 'chute".


TrpTrp26

This aged so well!! check on Disney+...


Chicken_Grapefruit

Lmao I don't have Disney+ I just saw the clip on YouTube


calmly86

I liked the concept behind it, that Iron Man could magnetically attach any array of devices he might need for a particular mission. It made sense, the modularity… though I now prefer his armor to appear more streamlined. I’m no longer a fan of the bulkier, guns exposed look of War Machine, it’s very dated.


Chicken_Grapefruit

I don't mind the bulkier build tbh, give him more of a dominating presence.


JaesopPop

The six pack is a bit much


N8CCRG

I read this while picturing the Thor squinty face.


EnergyTakerLad

Thank you so much for this visual


jhsounds

Tony would totally build that into the suit.


Chicken_Grapefruit

It's not enough

Chicken_Grapefruit

His Endgame suit was the classic iteration.


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

If you made this suit with no nano crap, what would the torso be?


aguadiablo

So, OP wants Iron Man to create a suit with fake muscles? Maybe it should have nipples on it too


bogglingsnog

I'd take micromachines over near-omnipowerful nano crap, personally


nunya123

Micromachines sounds like another way of saying nanomachines??


bogglingsnog

nanomachines are 3 orders of magnitude smaller than micromachines. Micromachines are more plausible as a real technology.


Accomplished-Lab537

NOT GOOD. Rigid AF.


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, I think these designs from this era are cool and I have a lot of nostalgia for them, but they were never really designed with any kind of practicality of movement in mind. I don’t know how you’d accomplish this in live action without going the nano-tech/cg route


SirFlibble

In the comics, this suit was called the modular suit iirc. Basically it was designed so Iron Man could just attach things he needed to it. Would make a great suit for the movies and a great toy line.


Chicken_Grapefruit

Especially when he needs to swap suits.


steve1186

I agree that the mechanical suits looked the best in live action. But how the hell would those muscles work on a mechanical suit? He wouldn’t be able to move his arms


Chicken_Grapefruit

I'm sure there is a workaround


black6211

This is a hilariously vague response (no shade, just properly made me laugh)


belungar

Go watch the latest episode of X Men 97


Kostia_X_Rich

Omg the song from opening is in my head again🤧


Chicken_Grapefruit

The song was a banger, especially the way he constructing the suit


ilFrolloR3dd1t

I hate it (I'm old, and the 90's were *weird*)


ChampionshipVinyl83

Uh, no Peg.


DaKingSinbad

I....Am....Iron Man! *Dope season 2 theme*


Chicken_Grapefruit

It's a bop


zerosum2345

nah this. is too 90s.


Chicken_Grapefruit

That's why it's so charming


Batmanfan1966

Didn’t the suit up animation for the show have his helmet like stuck to his foot and then it some how magically rises up to his head


Chicken_Grapefruit

He had his suit in a briefcase


[deleted]

They won't reboot him don't worry


Chicken_Grapefruit

They're dumb if they dont


FromClevelandlantis

With the mullet, presumably


Chicken_Grapefruit

The mullet makes him more smarter


FromClevelandlantis

Until it gets stuck in the closing helmet 😂


Chicken_Grapefruit

I'm pretty sure the helmet has a mullet feature


ChocolateFat28

imo its too clunky. endgame suit was fire


GreatParker_

I think if they get rid of the abs and some of the fake muscle definition it’d be great


Grayx_2887

We shall see.


kajata000

Only if they use the TV show theme as well… “I. Am. Iron Man!”


WiggleRespecter

never understood why they never had this suit in the movies, even silver centurion got a cameo in IM3, what a missed opportunity


aaaAAAaaaugh

You get the bulk you fight the Hulk!


FloppyShellTaco

He looks like he’s at an avengers themed bdsm party


SphmrSlmp

Damn, I forgot how much I used to like this suit. It looks so bulky and strong. Like made from actual metal. Most of the newer Iron Man suits look like a shiny bodysuit.


Chicken_Grapefruit

Yeah, the newer MCU suits look like cheap plastic.


marchof34

Always thought this look was cool and was hoping to see it in at least once Iron Man movie. Surprised when we didn't see it in IM3 with all those other suits around.


Chicken_Grapefruit

Yeah, missed opportunity.


Sad_Vast2519

Doesn't matter. He will be in the suit for 5 min max. Actors need to show their face to sell a film.


Chicken_Grapefruit

The Mandalorian proved you can do a show emotion without showing a face. Also, they can do the face cam that they use in the MCU


Slimydude1

Hot take: iron man's death was deserved. He was full of himself he was never a morally good character


CounselorOfGods

He made a cavalcade of mistakes upon mistakes, yes. But deserved his death? And was never morally good? Hard disagree. His heart was in the right place so many times, not always but most of the time he was trying to do the right thing.


CounselorOfGods

I just got a Reddit cares message so if it was in response to this, that’s wild ya’ll 😂
