It's time for another Marvel Monday.  This week, it's time to catch back up with Tony! ABOUT IRON MAN 2With the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR IRON MAN 2May 7, 2010 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF IRON MAN 2Robert Downey Jr. as Tony StarkGwyneth Paltrow as Pepper PottsDon Cheadle as RhodeyScarlett Johansson as Natasha RomanoffBRAN'S IRON MAN 2 SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off in Russia, where news has spread that Tony Stark is Iron Man. We meet Ivan Vanko, who is attempting to build an arc reactor like the one keeping Tony alive. His father, Anton Vanko, helped create the original arc reactor prototype alongside Tony's dad, Howard Stark.Six months later, Stark is constantly bragging that his Iron Man armor is helping maintain world peace. He's summoned to a government hearing where officials demand that he turn over the Iron Man technology. Tony's rival, Justin Hammer—now the military's main defense contractor—is also there. Hammer presents evidence showing that foreign nations are close to developing their own versions of Iron Man suits. Stark refuses to hand over the technology, insisting that other countries and competitors (including Hammer Industries) are decades away from recreating his work and that the armor is his personal property.Meanwhile, the core in the arc reactor that keeps Stark alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him. Believing he's running out of time, Tony suddenly names Pepper Potts the new CEO of Stark Industries and hires someone named Natasha Rushman as her replacement.After discovering he's more than 50% poisoned, Stark impulsively decides to drive in a Formula 1 race. Mid-race, Vanko shows up and attacks Tony with electrified whip weapons. The fight is intense, but Tony uses the Iron Man suit to defeat Vanko, who is arrested. However, Justin Hammer has Vanko's death faked and breaks him out of prison, recruiting him to help take Stark down.Feeling overwhelmed by his impending death, Tony throws himself a birthday party and gets completely wasted while wearing the Iron Man suit, showing off party tricks to random guests. His friend, Colonel James Rhodes, shows up to intervene. Rhodes puts on Stark's Mark II armor, fights Tony, and ultimately delivers the suit to the military.Feeling sorry for himself, Tony sulks while eating donuts inside a giant donut. Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., arrives and asks to talk. He reveals that “Natasha Rushman” is actually undercover agent Natasha Romanoff. She injects Tony with something that will temporarily keep him alive longer. Fury also reveals that Howard Stark was a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D., whom Fury knew personally.Fury gives Tony some of his father's old materials, including a hidden message embedded in a model of the 1974 Stark Expo. Tony realizes the model contains a diagram for a brand-new element. With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s help, he successfully synthesizes it, curing himself and upgrading his arc reactor.Meanwhile, Vanko refuses to build traditional combat suits for Hammer, instead creating a fleet of armored drones. Hammer, annoyed but desperate, rolls with the idea and plans to debut them at the Stark Expo.Vanko contacts Stark, revealing that he's still alive and promising revenge. With his new element untested in real combat, Tony suits up anyway and prepares for whatever comes next.

Minute Thirty: From Asgard to Midgard This is our last day of individual guests for each day, but it's a great way to finish it off as we have Justin Jaeger from TruStory FM's Trailer Rewind podcast to talk with us about Thor's banishment from Asgard to Midgard. In the thirtieth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The jerk finally realizes he's been a jerk. This is really a big comeuppance for Thor here. Once again, the conversation turns back to Thor's eyebrows. They're really bad here. It was great to be on Jotunheim for a while where his eyebrows actually had more of a semblance of normalcy. There have been quite a range of emotions going across Thor's face in the last few minutes. We love how shocked and vulnerable he suddenly looks here. It's clear he never had any idea there might be consequences for this. And that's after bringing up again that Sif told him this was forbidden. Is it Frigga who had spoiled him too much? We certainly get that sense when reflecting on the coronation scene earlier in the film. Odin has such a great dramatic pause here as he locks down what he wants to do. He's processing a lot in this small moment. And had he already whittled Thor's punishment down to this final banishment? If Thor had shown remorse, would Odin have gone so far? Was he thinking sending Thor from Asgard to Midgard would be good punishment? When Odin references ‘loved ones' that Thor has betrayed, is he meaning just the family? Or all of Asgard? Loki has such a great tennis match moment here as he watches this fight. Is he sad at all that his actions have brought this all down on Thor? Or just shocked that Odin has taken it to this point? Or is he really just biting his lip with glee? We try to figure out the lore and history of Mjølnir. Odin not only takes Mjølnir from Thor but he uses it to strip the armor from Thor's arms. He then uses it to banish Thor, blasting him back into the Bifrost to cast him out. It says a lot that Odin uses Thor's own weapon to cast him out. It's a shame, though, that we don't get more pointed moments later in the franchise that point out the specifics of Thor's armor and rank. But what's interesting is that Odin then whispers what seems to be a spell into Mjølnir – a line of text that had been written on it in the comics – “Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” So it seems that in the MCU at least, this is the moment when only those who are worthy can wield Mjølnir. This is certainly different from mythology. Is it also a part of fact that Mjølnir, like Gungnir, is made of Uru that allows it to be enchanted thus? There's also that ‘he' in that spell. It just feels dated now. With Taika Waititi behind the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, we sort of expect that he's going to find a way to deal with that. Kinda like that moment in Star Trek 6. Does it matter that Odin says ‘hold' versus ‘lift'? It seems a bit like a semantic battle, eh? So Odin banishes Thor from Asgard to Midgard. And it's incredibly dramatic. As far as sending Thor through the Bifrost then Mjølnir through immediately afterward, the scene construction is a bit wonky as we do cross the line, making it appear as if Odin sends the hammer in the complete opposite direction of Thor. Is that just meant to show us that it's not going to land directly on top of Thor? Is it just planetary rotation? To that end, how does he actually operate the Bifrost and Heimdall's Observatory with Gungnir? Is there a mental connection? Again, Loki gives great stone faces through all of this. Thor's trip through the Bifrost looks so much rougher than his earlier journey. Was that because he had Mjølnir? Or more because of his intentionality on that journey as opposed to this one where he's thrown into it? Or is this because Odin operates it with Gungnir, not Heimdall with Hofund? And we're back on Earth. I mean, Midgard. Well, you know what we mean. Thor lands and we have several shorthand shots to put us back into that moment when they drive into the atmospheric disturbance (aka the Bifrost) then crash into Thor. It's the exact same shot that we saw back in minute 3, but here it's clear they haven't manipulated the lighting so we can now actually see they crash into Thor as opposed to some shadowy figure. Meanwhile in the MCU, we learn that Thor's coronation, the attack on Odin's vault, and Thor's journey with his friends to Jotunheim all happened on May 30th. Interestingly, they actually return on the 31st of May so somewhere in there, there may be a time zone they crossed. So Thor lands on Midgard, aka Earth, on May 31st, 2010, the same day that General Ross battles Hulk at Culver University, Tony Stark battles Ivan Vanko, aka Whiplash, at the Stark Expo, and that Agent Phil Coulson stops several robbers from holding up a small gas station in the deserts of New Mexico. From Thor's banishment from Asgrd to Midgard, to Odin's spell on Mjølnir, to Loki's reaction, to the rough trip through the Bifrost, to Thor getting hit by a car, we cover a lot with JJ. Tune in!

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss how everyone (other countries, aliens, other dimensional entities) seems to be kidnapping scientists. Has the United States started down this path as well? Did Professor Vanko defect voluntarily, or as a result of duress? Was his alternative a jail cell? Also, is Vanko going to mass produce armor that compares to Iron Man's armor? If so, will Stark technology soon make the Avengers obsolete?In this issue:The Soviet leader visits top scientist Ivan Vanko, who has created a body armor similar to that of Iron Man. Vanko demonstrates the armor's awesome capabilities. Vanko takes on the name Crimson Dynamo, and travels to the US and uses his armor to scramble the circuits of an experimental rocket. Iron Man springs into action and saves the pilots of the rocket just in time. Thereafter, Vanko starts attacking Stark production plants. The US government responds by cancelling their contracts with Stark, fearing over-reliance on the military contractor. Company president Tony Stark, who is secretly Iron Man, investigates and ultimately confronts the Crimson Dynamo. They do battle and, after Iron Man comes out on top, Iron Man plays a radio message that he had intercepted of the Soviet leader planning to assassinate the Crimson Dynamo. This causes the Crimson Dynamo to defect and then work for Tony Stark in his research division.Assumed before the next episode:People are wondering when they might get a super-powered battle suit of their own.This episode takes place:After Ivan Vanko, the Crimson Dynamo, defects to the US.
