Marvel Movies, Crossed Over
Aug. 1st, 2009 03:27 pmThese last few days have been great if you're into the movies based on various Marvel comics, and open for crossovers between them. Check these out:
Black Tie: my favourite of the bunch, an ensemble story which pulls of a - deep breath -
Spider-Man/Daredevil/Iron Man/X-Men/Fantastic Four/Incredible Hulk movieverse crossover, without short-changing any of the characters, or confusing readers who might not be familiar with two or three but not all of these films. It's the charity dinner from hell, with Peter Parker jobbing as a waiter, Tony Stark as a guest, Mystique and Pyro being present undercover (and promptly running into Charles Xavier), Bruce Banner trying really hard not to get excited... you get the idea. Trust me, you'll love it.
Growin' Up: a Fantastic Four/Iron Man crossover, in which Reed Richards is very much not impressed with Tony Stark but can't get away from the man nonetheless.
Tony Stark, not surprisingly, gets around in these crossovers. He's the little black dress of Marvel movieversedom; the only character who shows up in ALL crossovers I've read so far. Two of them have the same premise - Tony meeting Scott Summers - but execute it very differently, both in plausible ways. So, in terms of X-Men/Iron Man crossovers, we get:
Playing Hard To Get: Tony Stark is trying to break into superhero society. Scott Summers can't get away fast enough.
System Restore: the post-traumatic stress disorder version.
