He was thanked in the credits as was Joss.
I saw Joss but not Warren. Thanks.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A friend on Twitter grumbled that the ending sequence could have been more entertaining. I said, what? How? What more did you want, CLOWNS?
Is that the ending sequence where it's all tell and no show? It could do with some fixing.
I guess I don't understand how he was going to control the President--if you can relatively seamlessly insert yourself in with the guy who actually got voted into the role, you take him, instead of shoving someone else that America didn't really think seriously about being in charge instead who'll come to power in the middle of even more drama .
Scrappy, controlling what market and the country for what? He's the only player in the market for Extremis we've been told about, and the other half is that he wants to run America?
As far as I could make anything out of anything, you'll rue the day you didn't take me seriously! is as good a stupid motivation as any, but I'm not even convinced that's at work here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Agreed, especially the Pepper part. But the person in question was griping about the part with the suits and the exploding and the rescue and the fireworks and the stuff.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, I pretty much agree with you, but what I also couldn't understand is that Stark is a bigwig, intelligent, and knowledgeable, are you going to tell me he never ever came across these two in the last 13 years? This experimentation stuff must have been active, and Killian was sitting on a lot of wealth. This never would have passed across Stark's intel?
I don't believe it. I wish there had been a sequence where he was despondent, depressed, medicated, etc. and important shit passed him by for years. I might buy it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The name I saw thanked in the credits was Fan Bingbing, which really makes me go huh, as I only know her from pictures on TLo's blog where she looks elegant.

According to Wikipedia, it's because she shot a small part for the Chinese release of the movie.

Well, he was drunk for years. And important shit passes him by on a regular basis while he ignores it. Another reason Pepper is a better CEO than he is.

Ohhhh. Now I have to decide if I care what those scenes were about.

Zenkitty,
but I'm not sure that was established in this movie. I didn't see IM2, so maybe it was there? (shrug)

Apparently China didn't like them, so I wouldn't sweat it.
