Not in the sense of story, but in the sense of acclaim from the audience.
Iron Man 1 and 2, both take place in a very standard enviroment. LA, with villains that are technologically advanced and wear suits to battle. Tony Stark wears a suit of armor that he built (with scraps) and has created devices that help put that suit on him.
That is all pretty standard. While nobody does it, it can be done in the real world. A man can create a suit of iron. Assembly lines can be created to put together something such as a suit. Men with the right money and smarts can come up with what Whiplash and Monger did.
But you give us Avengers, you sell the audience on that aliens exist in Tony's world. That he has co-existed with a god. That a man who has been frozen for 70 years can come back to life. And that a man exposed by gamma radiation can turn into ... a hulk.
You have suddenly expanded Tony's world for the third (and beyond) film. You make it so not every villain needs an armor to fight him. You let us into a world where the audience can easily believe Tony can face a man of magic, or a man with alien tech, ....probably not a giant dragon like creature, but who knows. Maybe even a floating head.
Shane Black has an obvious grounded sense about him that Favs had, plus a great writing mind, to give Tony a thriller adventure set in a world of extraordinary. But did the success of Avengers, help open Tony Stark and the Iron Man films up to something more down the road.
You think we can buy the idea of Extremis, before Avengers? If they do it within context of the comic (suit living his bones, probably wont go that far, but you know what i mean.)
