I could actually see this coming. A mandarin isn't at the top of the hierarchy but works for / serves someone. So, that applies to both Trevor and Killian. Discussed this many times after watching the film.

Just saw Iron Man 3 on DVD last night. Hard to believe they could have screwed up a film that badly (and the Mandarin fiasco was only scratching the surface of how bad it was). It was even worse than Spider-Man 3. :facepalm:

yep

 

I am going to cry wildly_fanciful_statement on that. At no point in Iron Man 3 did Tony Stark emo it up and start dancing.

 

Let me remind you.

I didn't know it was possible to screw up a movie that badly, not one that had so much going for it anyhow. Not sure why they bailed on the idea of just using the Mandarin as a real terrorist anyway, since it seems like it would have set up Captain America 2 perfectly where the new SHIELD seems to be on the offensive in going after threats rather than reacting to them as they happen.

I watched the film again last night on blu-ray and really liked it.

 

To each his own, I guess.

I watched it for the first time and loved the Mandarin twist. It was humorous and campy, which is what this franchise is.

I liked it as well.

 

The Mandarin thing probably has to do with a fear of alienating foreign markets that make up a huge chunk of money for these movies.

Bulls-eye! Right on the money.
