@.tox: You're so right. Why is the point? Why does it all mean? Why ARE we here? To learn about gizmodos! Right? Not vegetables! But, be careful with that Wikipedia, it is to the encyclopedia what The Onion is to the news. It's all fake! It's true! Don't trust it!

Yeah, majortom1981! Yeah, mykalt45! Yeah, makeseven! No, --Tito--! What, Dirk? Yes, Rexter !

When they make movies after the trailers, the movies are never as good. I prefer seeing the movie first.

@majortom1981: I totally agree. Since I'm not in the US, I've never before come across The Onion. It was only when I had my doubts about this video that I looked it up on wikipedia. What is the point in such a website? It may get a few laughs when people first see it but I'm sure the novelty wears off. But more importantly, why is the point of having this on Gizmodo? I'm not here to see fake news.

If they make this into a movie I'll feel so ripped off - I payed good money to own the trailer. It's just like when they made the Transformers trailer into a movie or when George Lucas went and rereleased the original star wars trilogy for the third time.

I heard from the best friend of my wife's husband best friend that the origin of the word "trailer" actually refers to the fact that they make it after the movie has already been made using scenes from the movie. Blasphemy.

Plus, as nojo says, iron suits can't fly.

Mandatory_Field — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:57:34 EDT

I, for one, have some hard questions about this proposed "full length feature". For example, will the Iron Man retain that funky goatee on the mask's visage? Will it continue to look as if it has some sort of mohawk? Will the glowing eyes continue to seem too close together? Yes, some hard-hitting questions my friends.

My evil plan is to combine the all the trailers and release the film before the studios do *evil laugh* silly hollywood when will they learn to stop giving away all the good parts in trailers.

ItsSuperEffective — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:17:18 EDT

Wait, this has to be a joke, right? It's kind of obvious that the trailer would be made for a movie, isn't it? Plus, commenters on youtube are not the people to check for the opinion of the public. Most people who comment on youtube destroy the english language (Ha, now I'm going to make a typo) and shouldn't be listened too.

that's ludicrous! why would anyone make that trailer into a full length feature film? it's almost impossible considering that movies are over 80 minutes long. that's a lot of still frames to put together.

I was hoping they'd talk about the friggin' mini-series of trailers, clips, photos and "featurettes" that have been released. I feel like I've seen the movie already.

It's kinda like putting your tongue to the 9-volt battery... do it enough times and you're so desensitized that you're eating them for breakfast. Know what I mean?

"Yahoo! tries to find ways to compete with Google by googling 'ways to compete with google'"

Commenter "IronBitch" is right. This really is the problem with Hollywood.

Anytime something is at all popular, they try and milk it for all it's worth. But to screw with Iron Man? It was this close to becoming an awesome underground internet meme, and now, they treat it like some kind of character for kids!

They sell out the true fans to lure in the mainstream consumer and end up with mush...or should I say they sold out the Iron and ended up with Pig Iron!
(Take that Suits!)

Next thing you know they'll probably try to turn it into a "graphic novel"!
