Contin. from prev. post - see how it all flows together like a delightful flurry of slurry?
The last word from last th' post was... irony.
Don't you think it would a much more powerful and interesting film if Stan Lee and the folks at Marvel simply added a 'y' onto the tittle of the new summer blockbuster they have comin' out this Summer?
See where I'm goin'? Yeah. Irony Man!
Instead of the Rocketeer part 2, with a dude that flies around in an iron suit, we get... Irony Man! A slight, earnest-looking pasty white man with a hemp tank top, berks, and horn rims whose only super power is the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning (thanks Merriam Webster) in a way that is so profound as to render the villian weak and confused for a few beats, pondering the very existential nature of his reality.
That's when Irony Man will go ahead and kick the bad guy in the balls.
This is powerful stuff.
Possible arch-enemies of Irony Man:
