Jeff Bridges: Iron Monger Was Supposed to Live
During a Q&A with IGN readers today on our Facebook page, Oscar winner Jeff Bridges revealed that his bad guy Obadiah Stane, aka Iron Monger, wasn't supposed to die at the end of Iron Man.
"When I was hired on, it was scripted that Obadiah would live, that when they opened his Iron Monger suit...he was not in it," posted Bridges. "Then, they decided to kill my ass off. Telling me 'it's a comic-fantasy, so who knows, your character could come back.' I guess we'll see..."

The Shield Creator on His New Amazon Pilot
As part of their current "Pilot Season," Amazon has a handful of drama and comedy pilots for people to watch free on their Instant Video platform. Viewers can watch these episodes and rate them, garnering them a chance at getting picked up for a full season.

FCC Chairman Outlines Net Neutrality Plan
Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communication Commission, announced on Wednesday that he intends to ask his colleagues to consider protecting net neutrality through the reclassification of broadband as a telecommunications service.
The surprising aspect of the plan is the attempt to lump wireless networks – the stuff used by your phone – with cable-based broadband for the first time. This could potentially make data throttling (a slowing down of your data connection by wireless carriers if you use a lot of data on your mobile device) a thing of the past.
Net neutrality was one of the founding principles of the internet, guaranteeing equal access for all traffic. It was also the policy of the FCC, which oversees the regulation of all traffic on infrastructure within the United States until a few years ago when the Supreme Court ruled against the agency.
