Yeah I get what you guys are saying about that. I kind of think it's one of those moments when she's probably happy and sad at the same time. She's probably just recognised with so much bad stuff that's happened why is that Tony's the one that brings it all back together. I guess maybe she just realises that it does seem a little unfair even if she loves Tony. Or perhaps just poor writing from Fraction.Rath99 wrote:shiky800 wrote:i have to say ironman #20 was great the story was a great read it was great to get to see a little into the mind of tony. one thing i don't get is why does pepper have a problem with tony coming back? you would think she would be the first person to want him to come back
Yeah that whole scene with Pepper was a little off. I understand why she would want the others to come back but why fight bringing Tony back?

I've never seen that this book has ever been based on the movie or Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark. While I'm not a huge fan of Fraction I think that's hugely underselling the work he's done on this book. I don't see that he's taken that approach at all.LOOSECANNON wrote:
Have you seen the movie? Since this title is merely based on the characterizations of Robert Downey Jr. from the film, I DEFINITELY see him making jokes even when preparing for his own demise. That's simply how witty/sarcastic the character was in the film and I'm sure Fraction's whole run's done a good job basing his Iron Man on the flick.

I think Tony would absolutely make a crack like that. He's about to leave a very intense message for his friends, I think its perfectly in-character for him to try and cut the tension with a nervous joke like that. That's typical Tony Stark, not "typical Fraction writing" if you ask me.Aussiemandias wrote:I like what Fraction's done with this book but he still has his moments of X-Men-like crapiness now and then.

I'm just glad he's reigned in on this book (either by himself or the editors) and this is a good read.

Oh well fair enough. I guess I pretty much hate Fraction's dialogue writing in general so sometimes I might see things that aren't there. As far as his lack of remorse goes I totally bought that.Dr. Wade Fucking McNasty wrote:Bigtymin504 wrote:I think Tony would absolutely make a crack like that.

I have to agree. Tony has always had something of a morbid sense of humour. The lack of remorse for what he did is also pretty much close to his general personality.

To tell you the truth I blame the editors a bit for what's going on with Uncanny. I dropped that book and I'd definitely drop Iron Man if I wasn't liking Fraction's work here but I definitely agree that he's done a great job. Like you I also liked The Order and I liked Iron Fist too. So maybe there's a certain style he's going for with X-Men which I don't really like.Bigtymin504 wrote:
Haha yeah I know you're not a huge fan of Fraction, but you gotta admit he's killin it on this book. I like him for the most part...while his Uncanny work has been pretty hit or miss (art having a lot to do with it), his Thor: Ages of Thunder one-shots and co-written run with Brubaker on Immortal Iron Fist were just awesome. Plus, I loved The Order, very unappreciated book IMO.
