The reason I didn't like this one at first was Tony going after the Mandarin seemed like he just became a mass murderer.

Guy Pearce's character of Aldrich Killian, at least this version of the character was created for this film. There does exist a Dr. Aldrich Killian in the comics, first appeared in Iron Man (Vol. 4) #1 (November 2004) who died in this same comic. I think he was one of the scientists who developed the Extremis virus in this storyline, but the film take on the character is still very differant that he may as well be his own original character. Advanced Idea Mechanics, or A.I.M., is from the comics. It was initially a branch of HYDRA but branched off into it's own thing. A.I.M was also responsible for creating the Cosmic Cube, known as The Tesseract in the MCU. The MCU showcases a different take on A.I.M., with Aldrich Killian as the founder and with no observable connections to Hydra. And the Tesseract has zero connections to A.I.M as well existing well before 1999 and the founding of A.I.M of the MCU. Sadly that's all we really know of A.I.M in the MCU. Marvel moved onto greater things after this film so the whole A.I.M aspect ends with this film, unless Marvel brings A.I.M back after like a decade.

That sucks! Sorry, I know it's brutal when these videos get blocked.

I love that you got choked up by a potato gun 🤣 In the comics, The Mandarin is actually a Chinese mad-scientist (very racist by todays standards) so this interpretation was actually a pretty good head fake for comic fans. Shane Black is a fantastic writer/director!! I highly recommend "The Long Kiss Goodnight", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", and "The Nice Guys" (doesn't matter which order you watch them in)
