Chapter 147

~3 min read 499 words

Xu Can specifically got Sony Pictures to lend him the Spider-Man spydercam rig, and used special effects in post-production,

letting Iron Man dart at high speed between city buildings, the sudden liftoff shots massively boosting the visual impact!

Just a few minutes, and it rivals a roller coaster!

As the Mark 2 armor kept climbing, Tony ignored Jarvis's warning and flew all the way to ten thousand meters, surpassing the 85,000-foot fixed-wing altitude record!

"Mr. Stark, a fatal icing condition has occurred."

The armor flew above the Earth, nearly piercing the atmosphere, already able to see the enormous sphere below through the horizon!

The Mark 2's silver shell was already coated in frost, the thrusters and power system completely failing.

The advanced armor instantly turned into a giant iron lump, wrapping Tony as he plunged from ten thousand meters!

"Oh! Nooo…"

"No way?"

The tension built by the score and visuals made the audience's hearts clench.

(Good catch) Everyone knows the protagonist will be fine, yet can't help worrying for him.

Audiences who often jump off buildings in movies must be very familiar with this intense weightlessness!

Especially the critics in the media seats — they couldn't be bothered to analyze the film, completely immersed in it!

In this movie, the visual effects have been played to the hilt by Xu Can!

At the very last second, the reboot successful, Iron Man reignited his thrusters less than one meter from the ground, weaving at high speed through the traffic on the street!

The theater was completely ignited!

At last, this showy, acrobatic flying sequence ended, and Tony successfully returned to his own rooftop.

"Jarvis, cut the power."

Thud!

The Mark 2 armor's massive weight plunged straight down, smashing all the way through to the basement, landing precisely on the limited-edition supercar.

The adorably mechanical arm made its presence felt once again.

The film knows when to ease off and when to ramp up — the thrilling flying sequence is just enough; if it had run two minutes longer, someone would probably have called 911 for an ambulance.

During the break, Tony discovered Pepper's gift.

The original arc reactor hadn't been thrown away — instead, it was placed in a glass case for display.

【Tony Stark has a warm heart】

To overcome the Mark 2's flaws, Tony Stark didn't rest — he immediately launched a new plan to design the Mark 3 armor!

Drawing on experience, Tony played to his greatest strength: rapid iteration!

Every time he took a beating afterward, it would push him to iterate a new armor!

"Isn't gold a bit too flashy?"

"Yes, you're usually very low-key, sir."

The AI Jarvis speaks with a British accent, and even his snark is British-style passive-aggressive.

"How about some fire red?"

"Ah, yes, yes, that's much more low-key."

Referencing his favorite old roadster, Tony ultimately designed Iron Man's iconic color scheme.

As the first and most classic armor of the Iron Man series,

Mark 3 is about to debut!.
