The Mandarin. It started off so damn promising.

Except Kingsley's speeches weren't Mandariny speeches. They were really more Yellow Claw speeches.
Y'know what did sound Mandariny? Killiandarin shouting "I AM THE MANDARIN!!" while karate-chopping armors to pieces. Him calling Pepper his "trophy", which shows the hypermasculinity at the core of the character. Killian did say Mandariny things. You guys just liked the Yellow Claw stuff better.
Killian is much, much closer to a classic Mandarin than IMAA.
Classic Mandarin was a mad scientist and superhuman martial artist. He used inventions and martial arts to beat Iron Man more than he did the rings.
Killiandarin is a mad scientist and superhuman martial artist who uses political schemes and science and super-karate-chops to beat Iron Man. He's actually pretty close to 60's Mandarin in a lot of ways.
IMAA Gene Khan is just a mafia kid who is completely dependent on the rings. Not like classic Mandarin at all.
yea i'm not buying it. I think the truth is Black wrote IM3 without much concern about how this reflected on past MCU films or what would come after(think the arc reactor removal) and worst part is marvel gave it the green light.Well, I've heard some Black apologists theorize that all the new armors in the film are all prototypes and done as a rush job due to Tony's PTSD.
Yeah, I'm not exactly buying that either. The only one they actually say is a prototype is the Mark 42. If they expected us to think that about the others then they needed at least to tell us.

Well, Pepper thinks he's only on his fifteenth armor, so this could imply that he's building them and hiding them from Pepper, which is something he stated to her about him being affected by the events of New York.Yeah, I'm not exactly buying that either.

My disappointment in the trilogy is.....people's reactions to #3 0.o
Uhmm, I was the one to throw that idea out (maybe others suggested it too), and it was a talk between me and my cousin about why are those armors so weak at the end. It wasn't a Black apology at all, it was a joke.
I agree, just do not understand the hate, maybe to many people felt duped by the twist, but the story was solid, sound track was great, acting was as usual incredible, action was very good
Guess for me, I do not like dark and depressing films, like the Batman trilogy, I enjoy some humor, alot of this trilogy is exactly how Iron man is, but to each there own.
Its hardly "making stuff up" when the movie all but says it, it just requires the audience to actually be able to add 1 and 1 to get 2. *rollseyes*
The lack of creativity in the villians. 3 movies, 3 villians that are all business rivals of Tony. I know they all had different motives but still.
Technically Obadiah wasn't a business rival. He was Tony's partner in Stark Industries.
