Things We Saw Today

Things We Saw Today: The Iron Maiden

by Jamie Frevele | 4:59 pm, June 5th, 2012


By digital artist SgtHK, this is just concept art, but we can dream (that Pepper Potts is inside of this). (via Obvious Winner)

In case you come across an ichthyophobic purse snatcher, here is your first line of defense. Available at ASOS. (via The Frisky)

The Enterprise talking to The Sovereign. It’s canon now. (via James Urbaniak)

  • We can still talk about The Avengers, right? Good, because The Mask of Reason has a piece about why Loki was one of the best things about The Avengers.

    • LucasArts has a new, filth-tastic “grown-ups only” Star Wars video game franchise, Star Wars 1313, which being introdiced at E3. Perfect companion for its smutty, smutty new TV show that may or may not happen! (via The Hollywood Reporter)

    Speaking of movie-inspired video games, Disney Pixar is teaming up with Imangi for a Temple Run: Brave game. This one is probably not as adult-themed as the Star Wars one. (via Tech Crunch)

  • World War Z, based on Max Brooks‘ book and directed by Marc Forster, is getting seven weeks of reshoots. That sounds … not promising. (via Screen Rant)

    • And finally, for those times when your period is planning to stalk and then murder you, there’s o.b. (via Tres Sugar)

      Iron Maiden?

      What’s wrong with Rescue? You know, the alter-ego of Pepper Potts for a brief period of time? Got a 1 shot issue and a suit that looks almost exactly like the one in that CG image?

      The loose hair is a bit silly, but the Iron Maiden concept looks fantastic overall.

      You see, Iron Maiden sounds better than Rescue.

      But Pepper’s armor was mainly for search and rescue missions. So why not call her “Rescue”?

      Iron Maiden looks cool.

      Still doesn’t have the “umpfffh” to the name.

      I’d love that Iron Maiden design if it wasn’t for the hair in the back. Why would anyone think having a bunch of hair flapping around and getting tangled is a good idea?

      It ain’t Pepper Potts in there: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/16700000/iron-maiden-iron-maiden-16769376-1035-1023.jpg

      I’m glad some people commented on the hair. Glad I’m not the only one bothered by it. Seems very unnecessary and impractical. We don’t need long hair to figure out she’s female.

      Iron Maiden comes across a little less side-kicky

    • wynterlantyrn

      *raises hand verrrry slowly* I like the hair! As long as it’s not her actual hair, for that would be très silly*

    • mildred louis

      The problem is that it’s impractical. Hair getting caught in things, head getting yanked back because of it, etc. etc. etc. It -looks- cool, as does a lot of female designs out there but the issue is the same – impracticality. I certainly wouldn’t want a long trail flowing if I was about to head into battle.

      Rescue’s a terrible name. Is that really her name in the armor? (I’m kidding, I know it is, I’m just reliving the first time I read so). Terrible.

      I remember in DC there was a hero…I think tangential to the Teen Titans…. who was female, but no one actually knew it because her armor was actually good armor.  …that is to say, room for boobs in a breastplate is stupid – there should be enough padding that it doesn’t make a difference, and of course her hair was not stupidly loose.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_Z4CJFSWSF6NJQ2QO56FEBHKHJM K

      I think the hair *looks* cool – but the problem is it decreases how serious you can take her as a fighter.  Not sure what the difference between actual and fake hair would be.
      The only “plus” to having hair would be all, “I’m such a good fighter you won’t even get close enough to grab my hair” but that’s incredibly cocky and also would be reason to have her ditch all armor.

      Kinda like how I’ll take XS over Lady Flash any day.

      Eh – I think “Iron Maiden” would be cool…if it were completely detached from Iron Man.  However in this case it’s not – it’s a feminization of Iron Man, and not even as “strong” a form (girl/maiden is not equivalent to man, woman is). 

      So yeah, alone, Iron Maiden is cool!  In conjunction with Iron Man…not so much.
