Iron Man: Armored Adventures makes its way to DVD
When creator Chris Yost sat down to work on what would become the CGI animated series Iron Man: Armored Adventures, he had his doubts. For one thing, the show’s producers wanted it to feature a teenage version of Tony Stark as the superhero. But throughout the course of working on the show, Yost says he became incredibly proud of the project.
And fans seem to share the creator’s sentiments – the show’s first season was so successful on a worldwide scale that another season is already in the works. In addition, Volume 2 of the show’s DVD series will be available to fans on April 19.
Yost says of the show: “I would say do please give it a chance. The bottom line is no, it’s not going to be like the comic. You know what? The movie was not like the comic. The movie obviously made changes to the origin too. It wasn’t in Vietnam. Every time you translate something to either another medium or another era there are changes made. Yes, this is a big one. This is a big, big change. We recognize that and we know that. Trust us, we know. We’ve heard that criticism and we’ve heard it before.
“…I guarantee you there is so much Iron Man in this show for comic book fans. I love this show. Trust me, I was right there with the fans when they came to me and said, ‘okay, teen Tony, go!’ I was like, ‘no way.’ But as it went on we’ve found ways to make it as Iron Man as Iron Man gets. The other thing that we’re really proud of with this show is that it is a villain’s show. There are so many villains in this show and it’s pretty great.”
The complete DVD box set (Volumes 1 and 2) will also be made available on April 19, to coincide with the move release of Iron Man 2 starring Robert Downey Jr.
