"”Trek” isn't in Worldlingo's dictionary, so it doesn't translate it. It’s not a word in Swedish."

Trek seems to translate into other languages just fine. Oh well.

Holland & Sweden = different languages & countries. Thanks.

USAand Mexico = different languages and countries, yet I can understand awhole lot of Spanish words. So here's an old English word for you: fuck off.

"Fuck off" is two words. English your second language?

Back to Iron Man for a second, he is one character that I expect that
appearance to change and I'll be interested to see the new armor. I wish they
would use the stealth armor again.

It's one of those things. Iron Man has something of an excuse to keep changing armours - Tony likes to keep tinkering and making additions, and I suspect he's a little artistic too considering some of the choices and liberties he takes.
However, he never goes back. How often, since it was built, have we seen the Hulk Buster Armour? He modified the modification and made a Hulk Buster Mark 2 armour for World War Hulk. Does he go back to the Silver Centurion armour? Stealth?
No, he just makes a whole new suit of armour, and that's that. There's never really an "again" just a "start-finish-on-to-next-armour"

All right, I was wrong to assume that Worldlingo can’t translate trek at all. It can, to some languages, but not to others (watch it become ”trek” in Japanese too.) But please stop insinuating it is in fact a Swedish word. It’s just not.
I don’t like the new armour, by the way. The colour scheme is very complicated and I would have liked it a lot simpler.

As I have said before, if you're dealing with an audience that changes every few years, as used to be the case, Tony building his outer space armor, or his undersea armor, or his armor-Robin-wears-when-Batman-is-injured almost works. But if you're dealing with the modern (by which I mean the past 30 years or so) audience, that sticks around for decades, it makes no sense at all to suddenly say the armor that has been seen comfortably flying thru space or cruising at crushing ocean depths needs to be "modified" or even replaced for those "special" assignments.A rose is a rose. Iron Man is Iron Man.

agreed! it takes the emphasis off of Iron Man and puts it on Tony Stark, like that's the super-hero identity and he just has this array of Iron Man armors that helps him fight crime.
I truly don't see how there have been any true "improvements" to the armor since the classic version. that was an obvious upgrade and it became far less bulky. since then, all of the changes have been mainly asthetic and have actually been steps back in terms of slimming down/modernizing the armor. look at the "Silver Centurion" armor...bulkier. "Extremis Armor"...bulkier, and far more visisble joints/points of weakness.
If you actually look at these armors in terms of evolution, they're going backwards!

Case in point...
the Centurion armors gets IM back to bulky...much top heavier. Extremis pares that down a bit, but it's still not as sleek as the Classic red and gold armor.
this makes more sense, in terms of evolution, if you ask me...

Tony takes one big step from the bulky gray armor to the sleek red and gold, but from then on the changes are purely stylistic (and a lot spring from the artists not paying much attention to how the suit was drawn before). Technological advances are incorporated with no change to the configuration of the suit. It's being able to do that that makes Tony Stark Tony Stark!
