1) I don't know that was what was awesome. Man me and my friends were so excited how is he gonna be kicking tony's arse all film! What's his plot has to be genius if it can threaten all of america. (and well Y'know)

2) That was just weird. i think the writers just threw that in to help ease fans. but it really just made things worse. The Mandarin was supposed to be middle-eastern terroist with a mix of threats. Plus if the mandarin was just a fictonal character why have the dragon motiff in the first place?
