We start with wrestling. Apparently there are fans of wrestling in the MCU and we think they should finally elevate that fandom with the hidden Marvel wrestling industrial complex. We’ve got a fun callback for Bucky and Steve at the Stark Expo, Natalie is inarguably replaced by Natasha at long last, and we have a picture wrap on Justin’s glasses.

JARVIS hacks. Finally, with the Mark VI, the AI has the juice it needs to do some more serious war-time jiggery pokery. Now, let’s get this out of the way: There are a LOT of stray bullets in this sequence. And we never would have thought we would write this, but in spite of the further mass casualties, and the absence of physics to account for the mutations load-outs, the look damn cool. We talk stand-ins and lighting, fun zooms, and seriously giant pixels.

There are three rules for using a microphone. You only need the first two. Let’s review. Also, we explore masculine vulnerability in an act of trust between robopals. We explore some incredible graphics work in the HUDs from a long lost animation company, which is great, until the drones wake up and we realize that mass casualties can be a distraction from pretty pixels. Turn up the volume on this minute because the sound design is extraordinary!

Political faux pas! Rob breaks out his political history to catalog a connection between IM2 and the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Then, Rhodey is in the War Machine! We have some digression on Expo Security, a confused audience, and then — WHAT? — it’s the MARK VI ARMOR! That’s right, in the space of 60 seconds we are introduced to TWO armors we haven’t seen before. Cue the swoon.
