pffffffffffpffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck off

i feel ashamed for even bothering to watch that. I don't even feel any more hyped than I was before since it's not even a proper trailer :monster:

So pointless.

About damn time...


I think the phrase "shit hit the fan" is appropriate with the atmosphere of this trailer.

Why must we wait...? ;~;
 
I hope it still keeps the fun of the previous movies to some extent. Looks like shits gonna go real bad for him pretty soon into movie.

I'm underwhelmed by the trailer atm. Hate to be such a debbie downer, but...

As great as Kingsley is as an actor, the Mandarin feels like such an odd, whitewashed character, and there doesn't seem to be any ethnicity to him. All that aside, the rhetoric of his speech sounded boring and derivative.

I didn't get any of the excitement I felt from the trailers of the first two movies. Tony Stark suddenly starts tripping balls after learning to control his suit by remote, and some goofy helicopters blow up his house. Cool.

Even though the Mandarin is asian in the comics, offensively so some would say, I'm keen to see the film maker's interpretation of him. Maybe in the film universe, he is a non-asian dressed as an asian, and it is crucial to the plot? :awesome:.

That's what they said about the Mandarin:
"It's less about his specific ethnicity than the symbolism of various cultures and iconography that he perverts for his own end," Feige told Entertainment Weekly.

"From his samurai hair, to his royal robe, to his bin Laden-esque beard, and the AK-47 he keeps at his side, Kingsley's interpretation is a hodgepodge of various warrior motifs," said the publication.

It should also be said that technically it could be argued Ben Kingsley is somewhat asian... in a subcontinent way :P. Not exactly "white-washing", and it also fits in with the first movie.

Well I thought he was actually ethnically part-something, but I'm not solid on that

I just don't really feel him as a character in general. He seems to be a big ham, but without any of the quirks that made Obadiah Stane and Ivan Vanko more interesting.

Yeah Ben Kingsley is mixed-raced, part British with some German and/or Russian ancestry and part Gujarati Indian.
