40 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-05-24 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Bruce Wayne could have been born in London and you would have had still the same result. Toss Peter Parker in Toronto and not much a difference would change. Heck, you toss Peter Parker in Tokyo and still get the same guy. But Tony Stark? Only America could have given birth to Tony Stark.

I think I agree, but I'd like to hear more. I'm not disagreeing I'm actually just really curious now. :) I'm also a yank and it's about time we have a hero that isn't embarrassing and completely just ours.


I would love to hear why people overseas love this movie. Especially since the TV news, magazines and newspaper tell us that we, Americans, aren't on everyone's fave list.


Sometimes quality is enough I guess. Tony is admirable even if he's American. I know a Brit online who raved of the effects, the acting and just overall coherently good film. All is not lost it seems!

Well, think about all the stereotypes that non-Americans have for us. Okay, you can leave out the fat and lazy stereotype. Americans are bold, direct, arrogant and unapologetic. That's Tony. Likes to show off. That's Tony. Ignores the rest of world and does what it wants. Yep, in the beginning, that's Tony. Loves their weapons. Tony is a weapons maker. But on the flipside, Americans are also known for wanting to be the good guys. They are helpful. And in the end, they want to do the right thing even if it was them who caused the problem in the first place.

Again, Tony.

Tony is basically a science geek but he's treated like a rock star. Where else in the world can he be treated like that? The only other famous scientist I can think of that is on the same level of fame is Hawkings and not even he gets the rock star treatment. Richard Branson is another one but he doesn't have the American youthful swagger or ideology that Tony has. (Because, face it, to the world, We, Americans, will always the punks.) You could see Kayne West calling up Stark to hook him up with some robot for his stage show. I can see Tony Stark going on MTV TRL to promote something. Richard Branson...not so much.
