I had this bizarre dream last night that a fourth Iron Man movie came out and:
a) undid all the character development Tony went through in the Avengers movie & Iron Man 3.
b) Had a screen play written by Matt Fraction (hence (a) happening) - who in the dream had apparently publically bragged in interviews that he'd never bothered to watch the IM3 or Avengers movies because he didn't want them to taint his 'vision' for the 4th film.
c) Had a love triangle where Pepper inexplicably nearly cheated on Tony with Thor.
d) Had Talia al Ghul in it as Hawkeye's long lost sister, with the revelation that Clint was secretly Ra's al Ghul's long lost illegitimate son. Also Talia could phase through objects like Kitty Pride because the League of Assassins had done evil science experiments on her, and Ra's Al Ghul - in a cover identity as a corrupt US politician - had been one of Howard Stark's old business partners.
e) Turned into a crossover with Transformers partway through. The Aerialbots appeared, and Rhodey was somehow magically turned into a Transformer (his root-form/robot form was, of course, the War Machine armor) and became the Air Force liason to the Autobots. Transformer!Rhodey's alt-form was some sort of frankenplane fusion between an A-6 Intruder and an A-10 Warthog, which makes a weird kind of sense as far as dream logic goes - the shoulder cannon on the War Machine armor turned into that big, asymetrical nose cannon the A-10 has.
... I'd actually consider reading a fanfic devoted to (d) or (e), despite the fact that it's made of pure WTF. Especially if (d) ended in Talia/Natasha porn, which the dream sadly did not - it ended in Tony acting like an awful charicature of his pre-Vietghanistan self and Pepper randomly dumping both Tony and Thor to hook up with Suddenly-an-Asgardian!Steve, who had apparently survived the ice because he'd secretly been Baldur all along.
And then seanchai and I left the theater and went to hang out with an alien dance troop in the lobby of our space station's artificial tropical rain forest environment dome. Because dreams.
