Nick Fury Reveal – Iron Man
Marvel is REALLY good at whetting the appetites of us geeks and nerds. They do not always do the stories the justice they deserve, but they come pretty damn close. One of the ways they win our affection is by knowing that a post-credit sequence can be the final taste you leave in the audiences’ mouth before they leave the theater. Therefore, why not leave them with something that will have them drooling all over themselves?
While it could be argued that Iron Man is the best of the Marvel movies (yes, I just said that), there are few moments of that film as awesome as the moment we meet Nick Fury.
Sam “Motherfucking” Jackson?! REALLY?! I knew Nick Fury was black in the ultimate universe, and thought that was pretty ballsy, but I was not sure how we would see him in the film.
So, to see that Nick Fury was FINALLY going to be the badass we always thought he would be was amazing. Also, to know he was talking to Tony Stark with the idea of assembling the Avengers had all of us geeks nerdgasm at once. There were a lot of wet seats when us nerds left the theater after seeing Iron Man, trust me.
