You don't say...?
Am I wrong in thinking that the "Mandarin" was one of the main reasons this thread was made in the first place?
Even MCU fanatics hated it which caused tension.
I'm not a MCU fanatic by any stretch of the imagination
, but I loved how the Mandarin tied into the theme of Tony's PTSD and came across as a more legitimate threat than Thanos/Loki and their Chitauri, Stane, Whiplash and his businessman sponsor, Malekith, Ronan etc.For me its that thematic touch of the Mandarin being an Earthling, yet also the greatest threat to Tony's person in a movie where Tony's freaking out about alines, combined with the extent of the Mandarin's reach that made him a great villain for me.
