Tony: Comic vs. Movie version?

[angel_inoshi]

So, I had planned on talking about what a surprise it was that 616!Steve turned into a mutant Spider monster that spews baby spiders from his mouth....But, I decided to post this question to you all, and was just curious about your general thoughts.

With the Avengers movie coming out, it's no secret that we have been getting an influx of new Steve/

I think part of the reason I love the movies so much is because there's so much hinted at without being drawn out, due to the limitations of the genre. It does make writing about movie!Tony a little easier, because there's less history but there's a lot more room to experiment with. I have Urges to write movieverse fic but nothing's really come to me. (With the exception of the very short little thing I posted to AO3 a while back, and that almost doesn't count.) But overall, movie!Tony is just... shallower. Not because he's a shallow person (at least, not so much as at the beginning! ;), but because he just doesn't have the depth that all of that backstory brings to comic!Tony.

The EMH voice actor cracked me up, because I'm convinced they cast him at least partly because he sounded close to RDJ. He's definitely got the timing down for quick comebacks.

More fanfic is very very very probable. I'm tossing around some ideas, but I'm wanting to work on something original for NaNo so that I might be able to screw up my courage and actually submit something.

And of course you can! Please, feel free to draw stuff from anything I write if it strikes your fancy. I just ask that you let me know... so I can and admire, mainly. ;)
