Can we just take a moment to recognize how amazingly RDJ portrayed the anxiety attacks? I swear, he was giving me anxiety watching him.

It's crazy to think nobody would hire RDJ before Iron Man. They took a huge chance on him and he was only paid $500k for Iron Man, and now he is the cornerstone of the entire MCU. One of the great things about how they portray Tony Stark is that he makes mistakes, but he learns from them. There are things in later films that are specifically because he recognized a mistake in his past and took steps to fix it. Can't say what, obviously.

I said some of this somewhere in relation to Angela's Nice Guys reaction, but Shane Black is actually the reason we have Tony Stark at all. The first movie that Downey starred in after getting out of prison following his addiction problems was Black's directorial debut Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005). It wasn't a success at the box office, but Jon Favreau saw it and said "that's my Tony Stark." Downey repaid Black by getting him on the first two as an uncredited punch-up guy, and then Black graduated to the director role for this third film. Black is the reason I consider this my favorite MCU film, although it's probably based on reasons that other people are not judging them on. For me, nothing against the MCU. I enjoy these films just fine. That said, they're not a filmmaker-forward franchise. Iron Man 3 is the one movie where I think the director's particular touch is all over the finished film moreso than any other entry, a quality I hope the MCU tries to embrace in whatever new directions it is going in the near future. One of the many things that Black puts in every movie he writes is Christmas. The Nice Guys is probably the least-prominent example, but even that is set at Christmas. The brief meeting of Yinsen, the other scientist from the cave in the desert, is actually mentioned in the original Iron Man. Yinsen tells Tony he met him briefly at a conference in Bern, Switzerland, and Tony doesn't remember it. Speaking of Christmas, there's the quick little joke where Tony tells a kid "I loved you in A Christmas Story." The kid he's referencing is Peter Billingsley, who was not only the star of A Christmas Story, but an executive producer and actor on the original Iron Man. When Jeff Bridges' Obadiah yells that "Tony Stark built this in a cave! With a box of scraps!" the scientist that replies, "I'm not Tony Stark" is Mr. Billingsley, who also produced Jon Favreau's film prior to Iron Man, Zathura (2005). In particular, I appreciated that Angela really caught onto the idea that Tony learns to be a hero without the suit. Bafflingly, "Tony being out of the suit" was one of the major complaints about this movie back in 2013, but that's totally the thematic thrust of the film. He's paranoid, and his only solution is to build suits, but that only feeds his fear, that he hasn't prepared for enough possibilities. In my mind, the "I am Iron Man" from the original and this one are different. In the first film, Tony is claiming credit. In Iron Man 3, it's more like a state of being. Audiences were also mad that about the twist with The Mandarin. The problem with The Mandarin is that if you look him up (or, frankly, even think about his name), you'll immediately see that The Mandarin as a character, no matter how important he was to Tony in comic book history, is one better left in the past. In my opinion, the subversion with The Mandarin character here is very clever and entertaining, especially as a movie that came out after something like The Dark Knight -- feigning at that level of Joker-like gravity is sort of the setup for the movie's punchline of who Trevor actually is. I'll end with a recommendation, which I've made before, but will take any opportunity to mention. My favorite Shane Black movie is The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996). Not only will you get to see one of the greatest action movies of the '90s, with an unbelievable pair of leads, featuring one of the coolest action heroines ever, but the movie was also cited by the directors as the template for a future MCU film. And it's by the director of Die Hard 2, so it even ties in!

I have to respectfully disagree with your stance on The Mandarin. Considering how well the game Marvel Ultimate Alliance utilized The Mandarin, albeit quickly, proves he can be approached in a correct and engaging way.
