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.

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.
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.
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)
Now I have to decide if I care what those scenes were about.
Apparently China didn't like them, so I wouldn't sweat it.
Well, I definitely think it was a lot more enjoyable than IM2 based on Tony's characterization alone. Though I could have done without the
Disneyfield heartwarming sidekick relationship with an unsupervised moppet, which was only made tolerable by Tony being completely inappropriate toward him.
I know it worked for the dramatic tension of this movie, but
I have serious reservations about the suits being so easy for the lava people to disable and tear apart, given that the Mark VI withstood multiple blows from Thor while remaining operational, and the Mark VII beat Loki and fought off about a third of a giant alien invasion force. I can buy heat conduction making the Extremis folks very dangerous to a person inside a suit, but the suits themselves should have stood up a lot better to brief touches from something heated to 3000°K.
Did anyone else spot Mike Massa in his brief role?
