Why does he wanna be Iron Man? 179 00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:17,129 But the real brains behind the outfit is Mark. 180 00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:20,133 Wouldn't say Machine Man is running this whole operation. 181 00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:21,966 There's also Machinesmith. 182 00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:25,472 If it blows up and now, "Oh, no. I can't help Iron Man." 183 00:13:25,555 --> 00:13:28,635 Not that that's going to happen. But it could. 184 00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:33,439 I think we could pull this off. 185 00:13:33,521 --> 00:13:35,691 [typing] 186 00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:41,534 But every idea that I've put in the plot is going to be painstaking labor 187 00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:44,243 from Pete Woods as he has to make it all reality. 188 00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:47,834 Page 1, panel 1: 189 00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:50,411 We open on Arno Stark's recurring dream. 190 00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:53,417 He's a small naked figure floating in space above the Earth, 191 00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,040 the only thing standing in the way 192 00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:57,956 between our planet and an unstoppable colossal creature, 193 00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,006 something larger than the Earth itself... 194 00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:01,970 [Woods] There's this huge terrifying creature 195 00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:04,840 that's half organic and half machine. 196 00:14:06,596 --> 00:14:11,346 This creature is huge. It's gigantic and it's imposing. 197 00:14:11,434 --> 00:14:14,194 So I wanna have it break the borders of the page 198 00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:16,400 and really give an impression of size. 199 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,360 I like the Marvel Method because it's liberating. It's exciting. 200 00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:30,285 As the writer and the artist, we work together more in tandem... 201 00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:33,497 and that gives me a chance to choreograph things 202 00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,671 and have a little more input into a story... 203 00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:39,248 and maybe give my own little twist on it. 204 00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:43,800 People have expectations for character creation. 205 00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:47,104 And I wanted to meet those expectations, 206 00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:50,808 but I also didn't wanna make it look like something we'd seen before. 207 00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:54,305 But sometimes, when I'm behind schedule, 208 00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,734 a nice tight script lets me get things done quickly. 209 00:14:57,814 --> 00:15:00,784 The Marvel Method definitely can be more work for the artist 210 00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:02,859 as they're helping write the story. 211 00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:10,993 [Brevoort] All right. 212 00:15:15,623 --> 00:15:18,593 The reason Stan started doing the Marvel Method, quite frankly, 213 00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:21,668 is he didn't really have time to write those full scripts. 214 00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:25,256 This is what I was looking for. 215 00:15:25,342 --> 00:15:29,852 And so, he was leaning very heavily on his artists 216 00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:33,679 to do a lot of the heavy lifting of figuring out all of the incident. 217 00:15:36,186 --> 00:15:39,356 They were as much the writer as Stan was. 218 00:15:41,483 --> 00:15:44,443 There's a classic story in the 1960s. 219 00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:49,782 Stan and Jack Kirby met to talk about their next Fantastic Four story. 220 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:54,620 And when Jack sends the first issue in, 221 00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:58,214 Stan goes through it, and suddenly there's this page 222 00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:01,961 where there's this guy on a surfboard flying through space. 223 00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:05,469 He calls Kirby up and says, "What's the deal with this guy, Jack?" 224 00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:09,178 And Kirby tells him, "Well, a demigod like Galactus 225 00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:13,520 would have a herald to go before him to scout out planets for him to consume. 226 00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:15,305 I put him on a surfboard. 227 00:16:15,392 --> 00:16:18,232 Kids are into surfing these days. It's a contemporary thing." 228 00:16:19,437 --> 00:16:24,817 And the character took off from there and became the Silver Surfer. 229 00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:29,244 It was not something that was in the original conversation, 230 00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:31,912 but it was something that grew out of Kirby's imagination 231 00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:34,541 and the Marvel Method process. 232 00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:42,085 But this is, kind of, where the larger historical question 233 00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:47,588 of who's responsible for what comes in, and those lines are all very blurred. 234 00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:57,683 These are Pete's initial sketches for the first five pages of Iron Man 2020. 235 00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:01,350 This was my first time seeing Pete's take 236 00:17:01,438 --> 00:17:05,438 on what the extinction event creature was gonna look like. 237 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,989 And, oh, my God, it's gorgeous. Pete Woods nailed it. 238 00:17:10,071 --> 00:17:12,491 That's what's gonna destroy us all, and I totally buy it. 239 00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:18,289 Half of the fun in comics is, you're the writer, write. 240 00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:19,831 Let the artist draw. 241 00:17:19,914 --> 00:17:22,134 Let their imagination go to crazy places. 242 00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:28,005 But then, I saw his initial sketches for the suit designs of Iron Man 2020. 243 00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:32,969 He said, "Here's my first thought about Arno and his suit. 244 00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:34,643 I hate the gears." 245 00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,181 [laughs] 246 00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:41,437 Every visual of Iron Man 2020 in any comic book, 247 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,939 it's his most defining thing. 248 00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:48,741 But Pete's like, "I don't like the gears." [laughs] Well, it's-- 249 00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:52,410 So, I wrote back to him, 250 00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:56,366 "There's no sidestepping the gears. There's no downplaying the gears. 251 00:17:56,451 --> 00:17:58,241 They're his one signature look. 252 00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:01,662 Doing Iron Man 2020 without the gears 253 00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:04,958 would be like doing a Thor book without the hammer!" 254 00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:06,803 Or just a tiny hammer. 255 00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:12,717 "We only get one chance at doing Iron Man 2020 in 2020. 256 00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:14,391 We've already hinted at the foundation..." 257 00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:16,429 [Woods] I was talking to Dan about it, and he said, 258 00:18:16,513 --> 00:18:19,103 "You gotta have the gears. The gears are iconic." 259 00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:24,062 Originally, I wanted to do something a little different, but I said, 260 00:18:24,145 --> 00:18:26,225 "You know what? I'm just gonna go for it." 261 00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:28,777 I made them even bigger. 262 00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:31,358 I have these big, massive gears on his shoulders. 263 00:18:32,112 --> 00:18:34,362 It's him. It's Iron Man 2020. 264 00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:39,787 He's big, he's bad, and he's got these massive gears, 265 00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:41,909 and you better not laugh at him.

I don't think this is good enough." 294 00:21:14,983 --> 00:21:20,323 One of the things that we have now today, which kinda hurts, is social media. 295 00:21:22,073 --> 00:21:25,833 Back in December of 2012... 296 00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:27,827 I killed Peter Parker. 297 00:21:28,496 --> 00:21:30,496 I was the guy who killed Spider-Man. 298 00:21:34,419 --> 00:21:36,759 When that story came out... 299 00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:39,967 fans lost their minds. 300 00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:44,104 It got scary fast. 301 00:21:46,723 --> 00:21:49,933 Social media went insane. 302 00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:52,645 That's what social media is now. 303 00:21:52,729 --> 00:21:57,729 It's an instantaneous way for you to be mad about anything. 304 00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:03,321 More often than not, you're telling the story 305 00:22:03,406 --> 00:22:06,576 that will create some kind of visceral reaction 306 00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:08,699 because someone is that invested. 307 00:22:08,787 --> 00:22:11,997 And you wanna blow their minds. You wanna freak them out. 308 00:22:15,085 --> 00:22:19,085 It's easy to say that in theory, but we're talking about Iron Man here. 309 00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:22,092 Fans could say, 310 00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:27,135 "This is terrible.
