The original “Iron Man” script was decidedly pacifist, with protagonist Tony Stark attempting to use his enormous manufacturing empire to battle against war profiteers and the military industrial complex. However, after the Pentagon got involved, with Philip Strub again acting as the military liaison, the tone of the movie was radically altered. Much of the fighting in the movie takes place in modern-day Afghanistan, with the U.S. military serving the role of the good guys. In this sense, the film’s stance on war was reversed.

Wherever war is given sanctity in the name of God, Mars is there. Wherever military might is wedded with religious rhetoric, Mars is there. Wherever the symbols of faith morph into the emblems of war, Mars is there. Mars is not dead. Mars lives on. Mars is alive and well in our day. I’ve even been to a modern temple of Mars.
