So Iron Man’s out. Cool, cool. Haven’t seen it yet, but after hearing that the trailer would be made into a feature-length film, I’ve been waiting for it to come out. I’m probably going to go see it Friday night, since I won’t have anything else to do.
But wait! Did you guys see the new The Dark Knight trailer? It’s fantastictal! I can’t help but salivate in anticipation! Just thinking about seeing Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Aaron Eckhart duke it out in an awesome orgy of chaos and carnage and coolness makes my spine tingle with exhilaration.
But I’m faced with a dilemma: which one should I be more fanatical about? All my friends are wanting to see both, but they’ve begun to pick sides.
“Batman could own Iron Man.”
“No, he couldn’t! Iron Man has a frickin’ awesome suit.”
“Batman would just build a magnet and pwn with ease.”
“Iron Man has ceramic suits, you know…”
Stuff like that. And they want me to pick a side.
I don’t really want to. I want to like them both equally, at least until I see them both. I’m not much of a comic book geek at all, so if I picked a side, I’d have no idea what I was talking about and look like a poser. So it’d have to be a decision just based on the movies. Or, because I haven’t seen either movie, it’s going to be based on movie trailers.
But both are so awesome! Honestly, I think the Dark Knight trailers have more variety and cool scenes, but Iron Man isn’t far behind in awesomeness. And Iron Man has lived up to its trailer, apparently; it’s the best reviewed movie of 2008.
So what am I going to do? I hate being forced to choose sides! Why can’t we all just get along, friends? Why must we bicker about such trivial matters? Aren’t they both heroes? Are we not allowed to get equally excited about each of them?
Ahah! Here’s what I’m looking for:
Okay, so there we go. I don’t have to pick a side. If Batman and Iron Man are comfortable with being friends, I suppose I can be okay with loving both of the movies equally. Even if I haven’t seen them yet.
