Non-spoilery Iron Man notes.

[amanuensis1]

I saw Iron Man today. There's this moment, this image, right near the beginning, right? That I looked at and thought, "Holy s**t, I will need to write some serious slash for this film." And then? Like, every time those two characters were onscreen together? EVERY time? The slash freakin' wrote itself. There is no more left for me to do. Jeebus frak.

I loved the movie. Loved it to pieces. Any time the camera wasn't actually on Robert Downey, Jr.'s face, I wanted to insist they get right back to it, dammit. He's brilliant in this, makes the film a divine, natural piece of storytelling. And the man has the prettiest crow's-feet laugh lines about his eyes I've ever seen. Robert, Robert, do not be led down the path of Botox. Satan and his minions lurk for you in that wayward direction. And never shave the facial hair either. All pictures of him clean-shaven now look WRONG.

Was it Roddy? It was, wasn´t it? Tell me, was it Roddy?

Although, with the whole heart thing, every male around got to unbutton his shirt. :)


(anyway, AWESOME movie. I watched it today too.)

(uh... seems a lot of people here didn´t watch it. DO you think my comment might be considered spoilerish?)

I expect spoilers in the comments, so, I hope everyone's being careful when they read these!

Who's Roddy? --Oh, wait, you mean Rhoadie, don't you! Ha, no, not at all, I'll partial-post here what I said to someone below: Stark and Rhoadie was as platonic a buddy relationship as I can imagine.

But remember the montage of magazine covers? That one that says something about the new kid stepping up to take control, and of Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane looking smoulderingly over their shoulders at each other? INSTA-UST, baby. And then it just kept coming and COMING and there was all the TOUCHING and...god, the slash wrote itself, every time.

Lolz. But T/R is so cute! And Obadiah is bald (and yes, I´m that shallow).

But I admit that, in that scene when Stark is paralyzed I was almost surprised that it didn’t become a non-con slash right there. Fifteen minutes is a lot of time, and Obadiah was being so obvious that it was almost embarrassing. Almost. Only not really. And Tony´s face was priceless.

Then again, his face is always priceless.

Shallow is okay, we're all shallow. And if you asked if I thought Obadiah was hot, he definitely wasn't my type, but it didn't matter--still pure slash!

But I admit that, in that scene when Stark is paralyzed I was almost surprised that it didn’t become a non-con slash right there.

IF SOMEONE DOES NOT WRITE THAT THEN I CANNOT LIVE.

I like how someone over at... either starkindustries or scans_daily said it, that it looks like Rhodey has nada for Tony, but that Tony (as presented in the movie, anyway, although there /is/ a 46-point list of slashy canon Steve/Tony moments) is bi and lonely. but I could also be crazy.


(Also, Obidiah is like... dirtybadwrong combined with some *uber* weird daddy!kink stuff and just... messed up. in a really intriguing, abusive, I-want-fic-of-this way)

There really MUST be fic of it, I agree. :D
