Don't get The Mandarin hate. It was a clever twist on something there was no way they could include, and no room for them including, anyway.

"the evil arab terrorists turned out to be American company's goons." I actually saw someone complained about this.

note: before you try to say that Mandarin is chinese, remember that since IM 1 the Ten Rings are portrayed as arabs.

One of the best scenes in the entire MCU.

Haters will always hate. This movie is awesome.

that was a good scene. Most "haters" don't dislike this individual scene. It's the whole rest of the shitty movie.

I'm not arguing with you about your overall opinion of the movie, cuz obviously you liked it. Just pointing out that you're being disingenuous by pointing to one good scene and acting like that somehow validates an entire movie and that people aren't capable of enjoying a 3 minute scene while disliking the rest of the movie.

I never said that scene speaks for the whole movie either. Youre putting words in my mouth. The movie is full of great scenes, thats just one of them.

Theyre not as well written, the action isnt as good, the main characters arent as interesting, and overall theyre far more generic.

The Mandarin we got in the first part of the movie , was one of the best MCU villains. All just to waste it for a joke.

Someone said they don't get the hate. Because it was stupid . We have a new type of villain, psych just someone else Tony pissed off. 3 times in a row.

This is good.

I didn't think IM3 was that great, but it had some really unique scenes action-wise, and tried going in a somewhat different direction, that I think it doing badly is a big reason why MCU movies can be so formulaic. IM3 tried something somewhat different and it backfired.

That one scene where Tony is running around the factory fighting people with random parts of his suit while he waits for the rest to show up is legit an awesome setpiece.

So if in The Dark Knight, they just dropped the Joke and the bad guy was someone Bruce was men to 30 years ago. That would be fine ?

Tony Stark was a big meanie to some scrub rival and now it's come back to bite him in the ass.

Boring story, we were past human drama at that point in the MCU.

My main complaint with the movie is that the fake villain was more interesting than the actual villain. Yes, Ben Kingsley wouldve been fucking amazing as the Mandarin. Hes set up as a generic Bin Laden type terrorist at first, but they couldve expanded on the ten rings in the second half to make him more of a physical threat to Tony. It would make a great plot for a What If? episode.

But yeah, the generic revenge villain trope is cliche and boring. Though I like Killian more than most people. The Extremis gimmick is neat and hes the only MCU villain that literally breathes fire. And its funny at the end when hes shirtless and he has these dragon tattoos like a Mandarin poser would.

Having said this, I cant knock the movie for the potential it couldve had. What it did was still ballsy and entertaining.

At no point in writing this post did critical thought enter the equation.

The human element is what has made the MCU what it is.

Hawkeye literally just dropped and its all about past human level drama and its honestly one of the best properties the MCU has.

Ironically, Iron Man 3 is almost entirely about Tony Stark overcoming trauma. If that isnt human drama, I dont know what is.

As far as I can tell, 99% of the complaints are the Mandarin twist.

pretty much this but now that twist has been fleshed out through Shang Chi so its awesome now
