I was assuming Tony de-Extremis-ed Pepper, rather than stabilizing it. Hmm. Interesting that they left it vague.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, that hadn't even occurred to me. Hmm.
Didn't Pepper become a superhero in the comics, though?

I guess what Tony did when he noodled that equation at the convention in 1999 was about stabilizing Extremis, not de-activating it. But I would think if he could stabilize it, he could undo it. (I don't know why I assumed Pepper was de-Extremis-ed; I think maybe because of the parallel to Tony getting the shrapnel out of his chest.)
I haven't read any Iron Man comics, so I don't know if Pepper became a superhero.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Steph, it's Killian with a K.
Zenkitty, she becomes a superhero called Rescue, but that's through an Iron Man suit. Like Steph, I assumed she was de-Extremis-ed entirely.
By the way, I just read Extremis, and it's great. You can see both Iron Man and Iron Man 3 in it. I was surprised not to see Warren Ellis's name anywhere in the credits. Unless I missed it.

I have not seen IM3 yet, but I am finally getting around to watching Snow White and the Huntsman. Or part of it. I may see the rest tomorrow, as it's quite late. HMOG Kristin Stewart is just the worst actor ever. She has no kind of talent or skill at acting. Why on earth does she have a career?
Okay, so I'm unhappy about being locked in a tower. Now I'm creeped out by a creepy guy, but I attack him, 'cuz he's bad. Now I'm gagging because I'm escaping through a sewer. HEY! Wasn't that the plot of Shawshank Redemption? Now I'm scared and working myself up to jump off a tall cliff. Now I'm running through the forest and hiding. Now I'm tripping on trippy swamp spores and seeing scary stuff.

Now I want to hear that read by Vanessa Bayer while she's wearing the Snow White outfit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That movie had such gorgeous production design I was willing to overlook K-Stew's immovable face. Still, I can't help but think that with a better actress in the lead role, the script could have lost at least half of the "She lights up the room! She's so lovely! She breathes life into everything she touches!" exclamations by the other actors.
