So here we go:

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

---

1) The Mandarins AVENGERS Tattoo explained: Remember the end of the avengers when people were getting their faces painted and getting tattos all over the world? How come nobody ever though about that? jezus, its not that hard to fiqure out. He got it so he could act like he's a fan of the avengers as a disguise to get close to tony. Being one the the films most comedic acts done by kingsley, Happy Hogan gets tricked to thinking he's just a fan that really wanted to meet tony just so he could infiltrate his house and plant some tech into his suit. DUH! BOOM Major spoiler! This will also explain alot of the other spoilers i'm about to give you.

2) The Mandarins Rings: They're actually enhanced technical remote devices that have a more advanced version of the extremis virus made specifically for him by Aldrich Killian who was working for him all along. Aldrich Killian was selling tech to the terrorists in the way Tony never wanted to do in the First movie. AGAIN, really? really? You guys couldn't even figure that out?
The rings allow the mandarin to control sophisticated equipment using his rings in conjunction with the extremis virus, including tony's suit that was sabotaged and thus tossed tony around like a rag-doll , thats why he looked so beat up.


3) Tony makes a compilation suit out of all his last armors in a way to technically confuse the Mandarins rings so that he couldn't access and control any-one-part of his suit since tony mixed them up so randomly, giving him the advantage to beat the mandarin WHILE attacking his minions with an army of 40 other suits all controlled by a newly hacked and modified version of extremis virus that Maya Hansen fixed inside tony's body. (yes, she turned on killian after she found out he was working for terrorists, plus had feelings for tony) This of course was after the events of Iron Mans defeat by the Mandarin earlier in the movie. BOOM another spoiler.

4) Pepper Pots "kinda" becomes the rescue, only because while the big last fight takes place, tony uses his mind to telepathically summon pieces of one the the 40 armors to her body while she was being held captive by Aldrich killian. She then break lose with the armor and kicks killians ass.


Thats all for now....just can't figure why no one's figured this stuff out yet..

What do War Machine do in this movie? Fight? Any tag team action with Iron Man?

Is Stephanie Szostak the Wasp or the Scarlet Witch?

But if you look real close at the reflection in her eye in the clip from the trailer, you can see a mystery villain whose identity I am not at liberty to divulge, for fear of Marvel Snipers

(but here's a hint: his name rhymes with "Park Slide")

I do hope they give him decent screentimes and lines though.

That kind of would just make him Bane.

I think they're just trying to evoke the look of a militant living on the fringe of society without a lot of money. Kind of like how you would see Cossack rebels fighting against the Soviet Union wearing T-shirts with soviet logos simply because they were the clothes they could get their hands on. He's wearing a novelty T-shirt because it's clothing he's got access to. I think that'll be the reason.

One nitpick that's been gnawing at me.

Is Mandarin illiterate, or are the trailer editors just doing awkward splicing?

"Heroes...there is no such thing."

No, Mandy. There ARE no such things. ThingS.

Is his English really that bad? I don't think so. I'm thinking this now famous quote is just bad splicing for the trailer. Either that, or imma hafta go Grammar Nazi upside Mandy's head

Are people of Asian descent who lean English illiterate? No of course not, but they can lean the language, but it's harder to lean the dialect.

There's alot of people I work with who have H1B visas that know the language, but don't have the dialect perfected and you have to interpret what they are trying to say. That doesn't make them illiterate.

That has nothing to do with illiteracy. That's not even particularly bad english. There are native english speakers who talk that way from time to time.

A little late to be responding to this but Szostak is Bethany Cabe. I don't know why they're keeping that a secret. Maybe they just forgot to announce it and nobody has cared enough to ask her.

Has there been confirmation of that?

[Mr. Dent]

No it's from that spoiler thread on /co/.

Two Versions of the Ben Kingsley/Mandarin poster.

So dope.

Exactly.

Far from a credible source.

Someone like Roger Wardell is probably more credible.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

Is Wardell the guy who leaks BS? The name sounds familiar; I think he's the one who said Fin-Fang-Foom is in the movie.

[Nathan]

Would be cool if he's in the Movie and looked exactly like this. Btw, did they ever finish the comic?

[J.Howlett]

What is that?! The Hip Hop version of the Mandarian? Marvel thinks it can get away with anything. That poster is horrible yet supremely funny at the same time.
