The Iron Man 2 Footage from SDCC (Kind Of)
So that Iron Man 2 footage that was screened for a mere 6000 or so people at Comic Con? Still not on the web. But a few wonderful, wonderful fans made re-made the footage themselves in true swede-style, so you’ll at least know what it consisted of. Frankly, I think this is awesome, and I’d like to personally thank each and every nerd who made this clip at SDCC for the rest of us. I’d also like to ask why on god’s green earth these studios don’t release the actual footage after showing it at these cons. How is showing clips to 6000 people better than showing it to everyone? Wouldn’t you build more buzz by just releasing the damn thing for the rest of us? Grr. (Via io9)
