Bringing back the Iron Man 3 jingle for the hulkbuster reveal was great

I love motifs

I loved how versatile the thing was, and how stark and banner thought of literally everything. That hydraulic fist with the arm trap built into it was brilliant and it was just ready to go in low earth orbit.

Yeah I wonder why is veronica not included among the stark AI’s vision downloaded in his mental AI home in visionquest

Veronica isn’t an AI

Ohh I see so it’s just the codename for the satellite housing the hulkbuster but it was actually friday with tony

I don't think it's the name of the satellite, I think "Veronica" is just Tony's nickname for the Hulkbuster armor. 

It's an Archie comics reference. Betty (girl-next-door type) was Bruce's girlfriend in the previous Hulk movies, but "Veronica" (the baddie) is for Hulk to tango with.

Veronica is the Satellite

During the fight, Tony calls for it to send in a replacement arm for the Hulkbuster

Also, iirc Veronica is also written on the satellite. It's shown when it first deploys the Armoury.

i thought it was just the protocol name, like "house party"

All of Tony's nicknames are references, Point Break.

Now Peter's references and tony being fed up with it makes a lot more sense lol

This was so sick, I wish they didn’t nerf it so much. It was dumb how Hulk just slaps the incoming thing and hits Veronica perfectly. Wish it could have showed up again.

How many civilians do you think were hurt in this fight?

Casualties:  0 confirmed deaths. Fandom discussions on  Reddit note that Tony Stark’s scanner technology actively avoided occupied structures, and he explicitly routed the brawl toward an empty, under-construction skyscraper to eliminate loss of life. [ 1] Primary Infrastructure Destroyed: 1 major shopping mall/elevator shaft, 1 newly built skyscraper (completely collapsed), and multiple blocks of public roads, traffic lights, and vehicles. [ 1] Hulkbuster Tech Deployment: 1 orbital drop container (Veronica), 1 core modular armor shell, and at least 3 replacement structural parts (including a fresh left forearm package) delivered mid-combat via satellite drone Just because there were no deaths doesn’t mean nobody got hurt or had their lives ruined

I don’t see how a battle like that could happen in such a crowded city environment without some people being hurt. I do know this fight and the damage it caused was on Wanda though. She knew what she was doing and what would probably happen.

u/Responsible_Bar3957 Abomination 4h ago

I mean maybe some got hurt

0 deaths doesn’t mean 0 severe medical crises

Of course people were likely hurt. Did you see that scene? I was wondering just how many.
