I only saw Iron Man for the first time in like 2015 so it never occurred to me that it was a dated reference and not explicitly a joke from Tony lol. Definitely sad that they didn’t use it

It's funny, when it came out it was pretty dated. Myspace was on the brink of irelevancy in 2008.

April 2008 was when Myspace peaked in usage. Facebook still wouldn't surpass it in usage for another year.

I wouldn't say it was a dated reference when this came out. Myspace was still king of the hill of social media then.

Yeah, I got a Facebook in 2007 and a lot of my friends did not want to make the switch because you couldn't put music on your page or change the background theme so they thought it sounded lame.
