    NOTE:
    "I am Iron Man, with or without my armor!" Nope, you're just Tony Stark without the armor, bud. Why the fuck would you let a woman convince you to destroy your work? Especially when it's single-handedly responsible for saving New York from nuclear obliteration? Seems a bit necessary to me.

    I... wow. I'm kind of not even sure where to start with that thought.

    I actually kind of agree with one part of that..
    Operation Clean Sweep seems to be a bit callous and shows complete disregard for all of his work. I don't feel like any real craftsman would do that to his creations.

    I don't want to touch the misogyny with an army of autonomous robots, though.

    The way I took that was
    The copious amount of armors was a coping mechanism. His initiating of Operation Clean Sweep was him recognizing that it was unhealthy to waste away his life building armor after armor, and instead focusing on what was important in his life (in this case, Pepper).

    The "I am Iron Man." at the end, coupled with his recovery of some of the lab equipment, makes me think that he's not going to give up actually being Iron Man or building suits. I think he just need a fresh start after spending the past few months doing nothing but making armors and dealing with his anxiety. Now when he makes a suit of armor or two, it won't be because he can't sleep at night.

    Right, no, that was what they were aiming for with that arc.

    I just didn't entirely like how it played out.
    The suits are humanized during the fight scene, and take on their own personalities. They saved his ass, then he just callously blows them all up.

    It'd be something if he was just scrapping a giant pile of non-functional armor, but it wasn't. I actually felt bad for the suits at that point.

    I get that he's a man, not just the occupant of a suit, but they are also more than just metal and programming and deserve better.

    No they're not
    They're just metal
    They're not even programming! Jarvis is controlling them all in that fight scene
    I mean, if they felt more human to you then, okay, that's your perspective
    But they are still just hunks of metal (hastily slapped together metal at that) and I don't think blowing them up is any real crime

    edit: as ever, @Langly has bested me


    It's all true

    it hurts me on the inside though

    Regarding your guys discussions of how Tony handled the New York incident I think it is important to remember his first fight with Thor.

    Up to that point Tony kind of handles every situation pretty well with his suits. If his suit is at full-power then he isn't really in any major emergency. Iron Monger? Hammer Drones? Vanko? All of those weren't really difficult for Tony to defeat.

    But then comes this blond viking dude from the sky who can summon lightning and with his bare hands crack Tony's titanium suit.

    And this is arguably the first point in the MCU where Iron Man would absolutely lose.

    I was kind of weird seeing Don Cheadle in this film because I am so used to him from House of Lies.

    Where he plays the biggest asshole ever.

    i think something that could lead people to be frustrated with tony is that
    he did need all those suits to save the day

    Chalk that up to movie luck. Itll undoubtedly never be brought up again

    Or a throw away line in Avengers 2 where
    He claims his new suit is just as strong as every past suit he's had put together. And honestly if we are just including the ones in the ending fight that might be true. Because those things were shit.

    Yeah Jarvis is super unrealistic

    At the same time though his whole existence has always been the single coolest thing about Tony Stark to me, since the first movie.

    More than the Iron Man armor itself, I wanted Tony Stark's house.

    Also its consistent with movie AI's so I don't really care. Sci-fi has always been pretty lose with technology.

    Yeah, the creation of a artificial intelligence powerful enough to be self-aware, to fully understand human speech and make complex decisions, would literally be the single-greatest achievement on that planet until first contact was made.

    Making an AI intelligent enough that it can make inferences, understand sarcasm and generally emulate human thinking like JARVIS does is even more incredible.

    avengers 3 is basically the plot of terminator 2 but with jarvis instead of skynet

    there is no reason not to give Jarvis a suit that he could man without Tony inside
    i would've been fine with a hammer drone but honestly it'd be hilarious to see Jarvis being a proper butler within an iron man suit, maybe done up in black and white as if it were a butler's fabric suit

    that would have been awesome, and a great extension of the character.

    You'll never talk me out of liking Iron Man 3* but you may just convince me it could have been infinitely better.

    honestly i have been wanting that for the last few months, though (Iron Man 3 spoilers I suppose)
    I didnt think of the suits being controlled without a person inside, I didnt think they were solid enough. I totally thought a Hammer drone would've worked, though, Tony being a dick and using one as a trophy basically.

    I wonder how self-aware Jarvis is
    like, I don't think he would be able to disobey an order

    though I guess self-awareness and self-determination are different concepts so maybe I should have phrased that differently

    My presumption is
    Every suit Pre-Ironman 3 couldn't be remote piloted. The suits all being remote controlled seems to be an early sign of the mental breakdown that led to the Mk 42. The need to be able to get to his armor at any time.
