Is Ironman a cool flying terminator?

I don't think so, the Terminator was a machine covered by organic tissue. Its a complex computer that runs a machine. Ironman on the other hand is a human, who uses a machine/computer to enhance himself and his abilities.

Both have the similarity of having tissue fused machine, but there is a human mind behind Ironman. One that is capable of rational thought and decision making based on the consequences of his actions. While the Terminator was a computer that can learn, it was largely ruled by its prime directive and not capable of alter its course.

I'm speaking strictly about the original Terminator form the 1984 film. The Terminators in the later films were reprogrammed to perform and respond to commands and their environment differently. They could be seen as having the ability to change their "mind" about what they were doing.

I would say that the Terminators in the more recent films used their human companions as their conscience, and played off of that.

Iron Man is Tony Stark (a Howard Huges type inventor) inside a suit packed with technology he invented. Terminators are machines from a future ruled by Skynet, by a malevolent artificial intelligence. The Terminator Interface was more of a system log (useful for Skynet after a ter a Terminator is destroyed, not for the Terminator itself).

In fact I think you can see in the Terminator Display some of the same lines of output you'd see when booting Linux in terminal mode. Tony Stark is cooler than Skynet, (he could probably figure out a way to neutralize Skynet if the two existed in the same continuum) but Skynet is much cooler than Jarvis, because Jarvis is not much more than an expert system. A Terminator is marginally smarter than Jarvis because it needs to be autonomous to complete it's mission.

Well basically except for the whole future/past confusion part.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
