Alright, I understand that you are a comic book nerd - and are with friends that are not as in to the actual comic books as you. But you do not have to explain all the back-story, side-story, and nods to the real fans as the movie is happening. I don't need to hear you doing that over the movie.
You sound like a self-important know-it-all Comic Book Guy (which is exactly what you are trying to be, the guy who is proud he knows all this stuff and his friends around him don't).
SPOILERS for the Iron Man comics:
"Rhodey is going to become the War Machine in the next movie" - way to go and ruin the surprise of letting it develop for your friends. Even if your friends don't care if the surprise is ruined, you don't have to say it loud enough for me to hear, during the movie, right after Rhodes says "Next time, baby"
Stan Lee cameo - you just HAD to say, "That's STAN LEE!!!" When almost the whole theater was clapping, because they know the drill about Stan Lee already.
But your greatest offense. The one I can not forgive you for. You actually said, "That's Nick Fury, of S.H.I.E.L.D." literally WHILE Sam Jackson was saying, "I'm Nick Fury, of S.H.I.E.L.D." Could you not contain yourself to actually letting the scene play out? You couldn't let Sam Jackson explain who he was?
Are you kidding me?
Be a big-ass, show-off geek in the car after the movie. But please don't spew your comic book loving shit all over the movie while it's going on - so I literally can not hear Samuel L. Jackson and instead hear your self-righteous ass.
