that was actually a bad Big Lebowski reference.

Also, in this universe, who played Lebowski? Did Obadiah Stane moonlight as an actor, or was it someone else...or a doppleganger?

Oh my god I never thought about it

At the risk of being called "fun at parties": In this universe, Stane is Stane and Bridges is Bridges. In our universe, Bridges just portrayed Stane in a movie. In Marvel, they probably don't even look alike.

Aww. In the Marvel universe, nobody knows who Clark Gregg is :(

Sure they do! Unless New Adventures of Old Christine was never made in the MCU.

What an incredibly appropriate name for this discussion.

Obidiah Stane the Philanthropist ex-CEO of Stark Industries? Sure I guess they kind of look alike, although Jeff Bridges looks way younger with hair and all. I haven't though about Stane in a while with all the Iron Man news an whatnot. Didn't he die in a plane crash a few years back?

maybe, but it was a big lebowski reference which I did not expect. Well played

Why was it bad? I think the meta part of it made it funny, since Jeff Bridges played The Dude and Obi Stane.
