Points I note and like:
- Tony's brush with death in New York has had some serious consequences. Apparently even Mr. Stark doesn't just casually brush off nearly sacrificing himself for everyone.
- Tony's blase about his personal safety, but very serious about Pepper's. I wonder if we'll see her "Rescue" suit from later comics in the movies eventually.
- The Iron Patriot armor almost doesn't look silly... until I get to the star painted around the arc reactor. Thankfully, in motion, you're more focused on all the other details, so it should look appropriately badass.
- "Some call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. Lesson one." I really like what they're apparently going for with the Mandarin here. Hopefully his magic rings aren't too bizarrely out of place given the hard science feel Iron Man tends to have. Asgardian artifacts, maybe?

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
