And while it seems as though the studios are confident they can move on without him, and are still pushing ahead with the plan to have Iron Man 3 in theaters by May 3, 2013, what’s not clear at this point is whether star Robert Downey Jr.—who has final say on director in his Iron Man contract—will cooperate or join Favreau in exiting out of loyalty, or even fear that Favreau’s style is crucial to Iron Man’s success.
Downey has final say? That's an interesting clause
Wow that could really hurt the success of Iron Man 3 financially. At this point Downey IS Tony Stark.
He's always been Tony Stark. It just took the world a while to catch up.

So some people think that Favreau got canned because he wanted too much money. He got $500,000 for the first Iron Man and $10,000,000 for the second, so if it went up that's a significant chunk of change
“Still other industry insiders look at Favreau's growing price tag and speculate that he was getting too expensive for the frugal Marvel and its equally cost-conscious parent company, Disney. In fact, one Hollywood player familiar with Marvel's playbook theorizes that the company had been pushing a confusing and packed vision of the third film as a tactic to provoke Favreau into leaving the project.”
And recently Favreau was interviewed by MTV and he was all like
“In theory, Iron Man 3 is going to be a sequel or continuation of Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Avengers. This whole world … I have no idea what it is. I don’t think they do either, from conversations I’ve had with those guys.”
Man this sucks
Favreau's got a talent and a passion for this franchise and switching up directors rarely works out that well

If Iron Man 3 was going to be a continuation of all those other movies, it doesn't really make sense to call it Iron Man 3 now does it? Hmm.
I hope it turns out okay though. I'd like to see Iron Man 3 be an actual film about Iron Man specifically and his own set of villains, with maybe the nod here or there to the other films...
I was hungry and desired a snack. I'm all out of snacks and sweet cereal due to my war with Mars and the BooBerries.
So I broke out the tortilla chips I get from the Mexican restaurant down the way, and looked through the cupboard for what I could put on them. I was out of salsa if you were wondering.
The only thing I had was honey.
I now have a new favorite snack.

I have heard stories about how they almost never pay a construction company for work done at theme parks because it's cheaper for them to get sued and drag it out in court.

Well it isn't like they were named after a saint...
I've heard stories about how Walt Disney is actually a ghostly undying monster that appears as an emaciated pale figure late at night within the park and hunts the living for their precious vital essences
I've heard that if you stare at the Ferris Wheel in California Adventure too long you start thinking anti-semitic thoughts

honestly, with the money they make on these movies, they can probably afford favreau and it's kind of dumb for them not to pay whatever he asks, as long as it isn't some seriously outrageous 50% of profits kind of thing
On the popular Disney serieses, they make a spin off after three seasons. Because after three seasons they would have to pay full rate for everyone on the crew. So they just make it a spin off until the kids are too old and then they make a new show.

In this economy, I havent even slept with more than two people!
SO FUCK YOU BUDDY

I don't wan to sound racist, but in this economy, the Finnish are more valuable as a food source than as actual employees.
Man, you're right. It is fun.
Why I fear the ocean.

Marvel was frugal before they were bought by Disney
Extremis baby
I loved Extremis
that power set gave me the wonderful scene of Tony pulling a mach-3 bodyslam on Graviton and then lifting Cap up by his throat like it ain't no thing
Extremis is great
I'd love to see it in a film
Some guys has Tony Star and his buddies all at gunpoint and he's like "you don't have your armour now hahaha"
And then Tony is like "wrong bitch" and he armours up and kicks the bad guys ass and it is awesome
Just crazy to think about.

There were a couple of good nods to it in 2, with the blood poisoning and how easily he hacked congress' TVs
