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

but I'm not sure that was established in this movie.

When Happy was trying to warn him about Pepper having a meeting with some weird guy, he blew him off. He blew off the crazy guy in the elevator and pulled a mean-girl trick to get him to go away, which, granted, crazy guy, but I think they showed enough to give the idea that Tony is selfish and often willfully oblivious to anything that isn't entertaining him at the moment. I can totally believe that AIM existed for 13 years entirely under Tony's radar. He was not in the business of finding other mad geniuses, their work to support.

Did anyone else spot Mike Massa in his brief role?

I wouldn't recognize him if he came up and said "Hi! I'm Mike Massa," but I noticed his name in the credits (for his role, not his stuntwork).

I was surprised that he wasn't credited under stunts - you'd think if you already have someone that good at it on set, you'd put him to good use aside from a couple minutes of minor supporting role.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do we have any idea if he wanted to do stunts, and whether or not they had open jobs? That seems to be a way more complicated question than fans have info to answer.

Am I going to hate it until the villain reveal?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't think so, Liese.

What's your main concern?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The potential race issues, I guess?

Oh I have no clue. Mike's just who I think of in terms of premiere male stuntman of the current generation, so it seems a shame.

I did see Zoe Bell's name in the credits, so they definitely had top-notch talent working the stunts.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Liese,

I understand your concern. I do not think your concern on that score is warranted.
