You mean like if instead of being in the Vietnam War making a transistor powered suit of armour out of a box of scraps, Tony Stark was in Afghanistan making an arc reactor powered suit of armour out of a different box of scraps?

I just called Jon Favreau and he said no, it's just not possible.

Dude you could make ANYTHING work, the same way they retell and modernise Greek mythology, Shakespeare or Don fucking Quixote. Shit that is centuries or millennia old.

There's nothing 'special' about 'muh capeshit' unless you're one of the fucktards that are still buying into the 1950's 'Seduction of the Innocent' anti-comic horsecrap in some way. And Superman and a lot of other heroes are just moderised versions of older shit themselves.

It's all about whether you can make it cool. Marvel hereoes were cool, and then the M-She-U faggotry made them 'uncool' But you could make Flash fucking Gordon cool again.

How many faggots to this day actually believe The Rocketeer is based on some actual old IP, and he's cool as shit.

PROTIP: Not everything has to be set in the CURRENT YEAR either.
