Hmmm... I believe reed's greatest invention in the movie was the cosmic power transfer thing in the 1st movie. and the bes thing Stark has don was invent that portable unlimited energy device. Hmmm... hard to judge what is more impressive. IMO developing a new form a energy "with scrap metal in a god damn cave" is pretty impressive. With reed on the other hand created his goodies via a ton of money from somewhere.....
oh wait there was the flying car that can slit into 4 pieces at the end of the 2nd movie Reed made. Thats pretty cool. (as cool as a Iron man suit... hmmm..)
People knew who Richards was. He was just bankrupt, so if he got any rap it would be negative. Besides Tony was a corporate big shot. Richards was just an "associate" to Doom.
1. Ben just had really dry scabby skin, Tony could have bought him a good moisturiser!
2. Tony got laid more, had Gwenyth Paltrow hanging on his every word and owned a Jet with a pole dancing stage. That to me screams "SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!"
as for the maths and engineering... Tony did multiple-combo McGuyvers in that cave in Afghanistan. Reed just talked a good game.
dry skin is that a joke? If it it was not the incident was caused by a cosmic accident. This is cure that Reed has trouble in cartoons , and comic achieving while in the movie he did it pretty easily
Most nerds/intellectual are not playboys. and JESSICA ALBA > Gwenyth Paltrow anyday
I was talking in general. IM had some showing of him being a genius <that is evident> while Eeed was seen as the smartest man alive <during the entire movie>
Tony was a genius inventor and a good businessman like in the comic
while Reed was the best scientist/intellectual period
the clincher: "IMO developing a new form a energy "with scrap metal in a god damn cave" is pretty impressive. With reed on the other hand created his goodies via a ton of money from somewhere....."
Actually, the one that Howard Stark invented works fine. It just costs too much to build for the amount of energy it can produce. In fact, the large Arc Reactor at Stark Industries is what powers the whole site we saw.
That is actually false. Fusion Reactors are still in the experimental/research stage today. They do however, produce more energy than it requires to run, all generators do. Whether or not they are cost efficient is another matter.
I won't deny it, it is a very impressive achievement. But given that Howard was the one that provided the basis of the achievement plus we are talking about this in the context of comics/movie lah lah land, it does lose some of its impressiveness - At least when we compare him to someone like Reed Richards.
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read the reason for Fusion reactors not being feasable at the moment is that it takes more energy to create and contain the Fusion reaction (they need extreme pressure or extreme heat to enable the reaction to be possible) than it manages to generate at the end. I think they're still at 65-70% efficiency at the moment.
I'm too lazy to post sources at the moment, but if you have sources yourself that prove that these things are now generating more power than it takes to create the Fusion reaction, then please post. I'd love to find out that they've solved this problem already.
