Interesting, given that Vance at first called 47 “America’s Hitler”. Then he flipped over like that Stepford wife movie and fell in line. The same with Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and on and on.
Typical of disingenuous sycophants.

I guess Malkovich is probably playing Nathaniel Richards, but he does look really like da Vinci from Hickman’s SHIELD.
I thought the consensus was that Malkovich is playing the Red Ghost.
I’ll be honest: I have absolutely no idea who that is.

Today is a hard day for me, as I imagine it is for many Americans. But there’s a reason it’s difficult for me.
This January 20th would have been my maternal grandmother’s 102nd birthday. Nana was one of the people who protested Trump’s discriminatory housing policies. She knew he and Trump were bigots. Now on this day, where we also celebrate one of the greatest civil rights leaders in history, this demagogue is about to take the highest office in the land for a second time. And I can’t help but hear a rustling sound. And that rustling is my Nana rolling in her grave.

Season 2 sees an entire overhaul of the show. New animation studio in the form of Koko (who would go on to do Spider-Man Unlimited), new producer and writing team, replacement voice actors for most of the cast (Hayes, Harewood, Cummings and Neil Ross as Fin Fang Foom survive) and just higher quality over all. Interestingly, it doesn’t just make a clean break and does actually go to the trouble of exploding the status quo of s1, by having Mandarin’s goons captured and jailed, Mandarin losing his rings and most of Force Works leaving after Tony faked his death. This leaves just Tony, Rhodey and Julia, which is a much more managable cast and there’s a nice sub-plot through the series for Rhodey about losing confidence in using the WM armour.
Oh and there’s also Homer, a dry, sardonic AI virtual assistant that works with Tony and talks to him in and out of the armour. It is the genesis of JARVIS, really and I think it’s original to this show.
Freed from the Force Works vs Mandarin set-up, the show wanders into other areas of Iron Man lore, like Madame Masque, Firebrand (voiced by Neal McDonough, later Dum Dum Dugan in the MCU), AIM and adaptation of Armor Wars. It works well, being much more varied than series 1 and, largely, being better stories.
Most interestingly, there’s a much different tone to the show. The new animation style is flatter but also darker, there’s lots of shadows, but also the writing feels far less pandering of kids. Dialogue is clipped and wry and doesn’t over-explain what’s going on. It suits Hayes really well.
Plus, Stingray is in the Armor Wars episode, so it’s a clear 5/5 for me.
It’s hard to think of any other show that’s been so radically and successfully retooled between its first and second season. Well, the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon of course, which was paired with Iron Man in the Marvel Action Hour and also went from being absolute dreck into an underrated gem. But beyond them, hard to think of much. Even TNG took longer to get better after its dreadful first season than this.
You forgot to mention the awesome season 2 intro:
