Iron Man... the original. If you haven't seen Idocracy, then you have to... it makes that cut scene at Robin Hood Headquarters so much funnier.
Seriously. The character appears in the #1, #5, #7, #9, #18, #21, #63, #144, and #163 highest grossing movies of all time.
From highest grossing to lowest they are: Avengers: Endgame Avengers: Infinity War Marvel's The Avengers Avengers: Age of Ultron Iron Man 3 Captain America: Civil War Spiderman: Homecoming Iron Man 2 Iron Man
See this is why I was able to have beers with Jason Mamoa and not be weirded out by who he was -- I literally have no clue about the plot or characters of any of those movies. Except for captain america. I know what the shield looks like, because my 5 year old son has a toy one.
Momoa could have never acted a day in his life and he'd still weird me out. He's a 6'4" Neanderthal Poet. They don't make many of those.
Just realized I'm wearing the shirt he called me out on. I was walking through the LA airport pushing a double-wide stroller, wearing a shirt that says "Dad Bod" with a massive heart around it. I'm in decent shape now, but at the time I was working on a pretty good beer gut. Dude said some shit about how it was fitting and he wanted it. A few beers later, everyone in the bar hated me.
Depending on the season, she actually makes 30-50% MORE than me. Yeah, I'd say it's about 70% that, and the other 30% is fear that if, God forbid, we split up a few years in, it will be a much more difficult and EXPENSIVE ordeal. I've always been of the opinion that if two people want to be together, let them be together; no reason to get the government involved. That's why I didn't understand why gay people were making such a big deal about marriage rights. I really don't have any reason to NOT want to marry her; I've never been with a woman this awesome and hot who I can stand being around EVERY SINGLE DAY. We've been living together for about three years now, and that is saying a lot for me. Plus, she can stand me most of the time. Who knows, maybe will will be having a "Bandit & Jungle Julia Wedding Thread" soon...
Hey 'Nerds, does your wife shave her pussy? Anyway, if we get married, she says that rings are bullshit, and we have to get tattoos on our ring fingers.
I can help with this. When my wife was my girlfriend she switched careers. She needed insurance after the switch, so she went on my insurance as a domestic partner. After this I was taxed on her insurance as if it was a company gift (in the neighborhood of 40%). I took a huge pay cut because of this. Married people did not have to pay that tax. Gay people had no way of getting that benefit before marriage became an option. This was just one thing I know there are lots of others.
If being married did not confer immediate and measurable benefits on the two people being married, it probably wouldn't be as big a deal. But the government has decided that being married entitles you to a number of tax advantages, the law has decided that being married entitles you to a lot of legal assumptions about your rights as a couple (e.g. medical visitation, inheritance, death benefits), and private companies have decided that being married entitles you to enroll in various benefits as a family. Similar to @Frebis, my girlfriend was, for a long time, not eligible to be on my health insurance because we weren't married, which cost us a fair amount of money over time (although that is changing in many countries just because it's easier to say everyone gets a +1 rather than figuring out the local laws). We also would have seen a significant tax benefit in recent years because of our income disparity. Without filing specific paperwork, we do not have rights of medical decisions over each other. We cannot inherit each others' social security benefits. Which may argue for us being stupid for not being married, but that's beside the point: the real point is that marriage has significant legal and financial benefits. If the government and the law decided to step away and say "any two adults in a partnership can get these advantages" then the actual word of marriage would become significantly less meaningful to most of the affected people.
