Video: When Tony Stark Met "Natalie Rushman" (Iron Man 2)
In Iron Man 2, this scene was Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow's first appearance in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). She was working undercover at Stark Industries as Natalie Rushman. I love this scene because despite Tony trying to appear intimidating, Natasha didn't let it bother her at all. And as skilled of a fighter as she is, it was second nature to quickly take down Happy. He really thought he was going to teach her something about boxing or self-defense. I guess he learned a lesson about underestimating someone.

Not sure if wishing Steve good luck was really on Tony's mind with that impromptu kiss. But I guess if they were going into a battle, he was going to take his chances while using a flimsy excuse as cover.

Fandom Friday: My Issue with the MCU Spider-Man Story's being Heavily Influenced by Tony Stark
Happy Friday!
I guess Spider-Man has been on my mind lately since the new movie Spider-Man: Far From Home will be in theatres next week which I'm super excited to see.
Despite my excitement for the upcoming movie, there is something that annoys me about Peter Parker's story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movies seem to have pushed aside May Parker in favor of pushing the narrative that Tony Stark is Peter Parker's father figure. I find that to be so insulting to May who is Peter's only parent and I feel like she doesn't get enough credit nor appreciation for all that she does in raising her nephew. I do wish her and Peter had more scenes together in Spider-Man: Homecoming but in the few scenes they do have together she was both a friend and concerned parent.
(Spider-Man: Homecoming)
It annoys me that Spider-Man's story in the MCU is very intertwined and heavily influenced by Tony Stark. I adore Tony but he didn't need to be so involved in Peter's life and not to mention Peter's non-stop hero worship which could have been balanced by showing his appreciation for both his Aunt May and late Uncle Ben. I hope Spider-Man: Far From Home will have more meaningful scenes between Peter and May.
The death of his Uncle Ben (and his guilt from unintentionally causing it) has always been the reason why Peter decided to become a hero. However, in the MCU it makes it seems as if his motivation to be a hero includes an emphasis in impressing Tony Stark.
I miss the Spider-Man who was a hero in his own right and was independent, confident, self-reliant, inventive and didn't need to wear a technologically advanced suit created for him by Tony Stark. Peter has always been smart but he seems so dependent on Tony Stark that he lacks the self-confidence to be the capable hero that he should be. I hope the new movie will show that Peter has learned to believe in himself especially now that his idol, Tony Stark is dead.

I take it Steve is absolutely surprised by the 3D movie they went to see. Meanwhile, Tony looks slightly annoyed and like he's hoping Steve's popcorn doesn't get on his suit.

The Book Girl's Book Club Pick for July: 1872 (Marvel)
On June 18th, I had posted that I was restarting my book club in July and included the book club pick. I'm happy that The Book Girl's Book Club has officially restarted today, and here again is the book for July: 1872. This Marvel comic book is available in either paperback or digital.
To give everyone who wants to participate enough time to acquire and read the book, I will post my review for each month on the 15th for medium to smaller books and on the last day of the month for medium to larger books. Below are six discussion questions that we can discuss on the 15th that will also be included in my review. Also if you have any suggestions for future book club picks feel free to leave a comment.
Discussion Questions:
1. What did you like best about the story?
2. What didn't you like about it?
3. Before you read the book, what was your thoughts or opinions of Steve Rogers and Tony Stark being able to stop the villains? After reading the book are your thoughts still the same?
4. Did the illustrations work with or against the story?
5. Do you think this was an original story or something you have seen numerous times?
6. What did you think of the additional stories that were included in this book?
Book: 1872: Warzones! (issues #1-4) by Gerry Duggan with illustrations by Nik Virella
Description:
In the Battleworld zone of 1872, Sheriff Steve Rogers faces corruption and fear in the boom town of Timely. Can Anthony Stark pull Rogers' fat from the fire? Probably not, since the only thing he seems capable of pulling is the cork from a bottle. Things in Timely are bad, and getting worse -- and when a stranger named Red Wolf is brought into town, Timely will be changed forever...for anyone left standing when the dust clears, that is! Can justice trump the Dead Man's Hand composed of Bullseye, Elektra, Grizzly, Doc Ock and ringleader Wilson Fisk? And what concoction is the timid Dr. Banner cooking up in his apothecary? Plus: Classic appearances of Will Talltrees, the Marvel Universe's modern Red Wolf!
Includes: Avengers #80 and material from Marvel Comics Presents #170

This is so ridiculously cute I had to post it. It's Marvel meets Disney with Tony and Steve as Prince Charming and Cinderella. I just love amalgamated artwork.

New Book Purchase: Iron Man: The Gauntlet
Yesterday, while I walking down the aisle of the bookstore I spotted this book. I forgot Iron Man even had a novel, it was released sometime last year. It's had a good cover which is probably why it caught my eye and it was the only copy on the shelf. Hopefully, that's a sign that it's a good read.
Book: Iron Man: The Gauntlet by Eoin Colfer
Edition: Hardcover
Description:
How Invincible Is Tony Stark When He's Stripped Of Everything...Including His Iron Man Suit?
Tony Stark is known throughout the world as many things: Corporate Tycoon. Billionaire. Inventor. Genius. But first and foremost, he is famous for being the red-and-gold-armored Super Hero, the invincible Iron Man.
What Tony's fans don't know is what happened in his childhood that led him to put away his toys and replace them with weapons designed to maintain peace and order. They don't realize how much pain he is hiding under his suit's shiny exterior. But the show must go on. People expect strength, snark, and pizzazz from him at all times, and he's not about to let them down.
Just when Stark is about to drop in on an international eco summit in Dublin as a publicity stunt, he detects an anomaly on a small island off the coast of Ireland. Tony's A.I., Friday, warns him not to investigate. Now is not the time, when he's wearing only the Party Pack, a stripped-down version of his Iron Man combat suit. But hotheaded Tony decides to swing by anyway, and that's when the party really begins. It's just not the kind of party he would normally be party to.
Find out how Tony Stark tackles both inner and outer demons in this breathless adventure by the best-selling author of Artemis Fowl.
