for the love of iron man

I remember watching the first Iron man - I was alone because I had a fight with the guy I was dating that time.. Not that I don't watch alone because I can really say that in college i learn to be self sufficient in watching a movie - with all that movie review and term paper in Psych or literature you have to write in UP.. ( this ones not a movie review either because. I was never good in it, let's leave that to the Joey jamora of the world - my movie partner when he was still with Globe) .I wasn't a fan of Robert Downey Jr., in fact I thought he's not the typical young looking buff super hero we have in mind... And then I became a convert.. So every time there is an Iron Man movie. I get a little excited, the Avengers included. Who wouldn't dream to become the personal assistant of a weapons manufacturing genius and a billionaire, and who is secretly crushing on me? But well I don't think I will ever be as efficient as Ms Pepper Potts, the character of Gwyneth Paltrow in that movie...I think I have better chances of employing myself in UN than with Tony Stark... What's with Tony Stark - he is charming, funny, sometimes annoying, with this huge ego.. I'm not a big Marvel comics fan, back in the day because well, I'm a girl? But I tried reading back in college to help my brother who is in 5th year in UP Diliman at that time but was taking up a GE subject for freshman in literature for summer so I have to read the Infinity Gauntlet series because this is his book of choice to make a review for that subject.. Long story short, I was able to write a few paragraph which has the subject of how good succeds over evil in the end... But some movies recently Are so good because they take inspiration from the comics and make some modifications. Like how Christopher Nolan made the batman Trilogy.. ( he also directed inception). Like how human Batman is, Bruce Wayne do not have super power ability like Iron man is..Aside from their coolness, they were able to transcend their weakness. Tony Spark in all he's ego, he will always have that redeeming quality of a true hero..I think this is what make Iron man so charming, he is going to rise and combat the threat to his loved ones and to his country.. plus I'm curious about the love story angle between him and Ms Pepper.. For a day, we can pretend that there are superheroes, because in the real world that is how we overcome obstacles by transcending and becominggreater than our selves...
