Iron Man 2 Missing Scene

Iron Man 2 missing scene

Famous heart surgeon’s office. X-rays of Tony’s torso are laid out on the desk. Tony toys with his Rolex watch, doesn’t look up once.

HEART SURGEON (poking at the files)

It’s as I said, Mr. Stark: it’s impossible to remove the reactor without damaging your heart beyond repair, the shrapnel is lodged way too close to the left coronal artery. You’d die on the operating table. It’s a damn miracle you survived that first operation, that doctor of yours must have been a true wizard.

TONY STARK

He had very steady hands.

HEART SURGEON

Of course, if you could replace the Palladium with something that doesn’t combust, it’d put an end to your problem. But I’m no engineer.

TONY STARK (resetting the watch)

How long is left?

HEART SURGEON

Three months. Four months, tops. Palladium poisoning is very deadly. There’s some medication I can prescribe you to alleviate the pain if you want.

TONY STARK (with a little hand wave)

Sure, sure. Gimme all the good stuff.

SURGEON (embarassed, but expectant)

Also, it’s a bit…weird to ask, but…would you mind donating your body to our institute after you’re, ehm, gone? Body modifications as heavy as yours are so rare, and it would be such a valuable input to…

TONY STARK (shoots him a long look and nods after a beat, then wanders off, drumming on his arc reactor)

SURGEON (calling after him)

Best of luck Mr. Stark!

Watch ticks and ticks.

Ticking of the watch blends over into heavy metal music. In the limo. Tony lies on the backseat, washes down meds with alcohol, stares at the glass of scotch resting on his belly.

TONY STARK (casually)

Hey, Happy? Which of my car d’you like best?

HAPPY HOGAN (over his shoulder)

That’s a hard one, boss! Eh, well, the R8 is a thing of beauty, but I think I’d pick the Saleen. The noises that car makes! But in silver, orange isn’t really my thing. Why’d you ask, boss?

TONY STARK (removes his watch and puts it in his pocket)

Just curious! Let‘s get us to the airport as fast as we can, ok?

to some random point later in the movie: Saleen S7 in the background, now painted a gleaming silver

It’s 2025. BBC Sherlock ended 8 years ago. The last season was so bad the fans didn’t even want to talk about it when it came out. Occasionally a post resurfaces where we all laugh at struggling to plug our phones in and being called alcoholics. Every time, there are more and more people in the comments who don’t get the joke. There are two currently airing Sherlock Holmes audio dramas that both portray a queer Holmes (as well as several other excellent queer characters), and one of them now has Holmes and Watson in a canonical romantic relationship. There’s an adorable crowdfunded short film where Watson plans Holmes’ birthday party and they flirt with each other, share a bed, plan their retirement, and kiss on the mouth. A video game about retired beekeeper Holmes just released where he arranges a romantic picnic so he can finally tell Watson how he feels. A popular graphic novelist just released the first part of a queer comic book retelling of the complete Holmes canon and had to do several rounds of preorders because she kept selling out too fast. Sherlock is garbage and here’s why has 15 million views on YouTube. Nature is healing. ❤️🐝

Edit bc I forgot to drop the names: The podcasts are Sherlock & Co and Fawx & Stallion aka @224bbaker (the one with the canon gay relationship.) The short film is called The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity and it's on youtube. The video game is @beekeeperspicnic and it's on Steam. The graphic novel series is by Molly Knox Ostertag, aka @contact-guy) Please feel free to drop any other queer Holmes adaptations I may be missing.
