Quinten,

There's absolutely no way Marvel or Disney could have gotten away with Mandarin as he exists in the comics without pissing off a hell of a lot more non-comic viewers than comic fans.

Also, it's been said before but it bears repeating: the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not the comic universe. Just because it exists in one does not mean it will exist in the other, or even maintain the same form/function. Eric Savin is nothing like his Earth 616 counterpart, and neither is Killian.

As for the armors, the MK42 was the main one he was using and it was a prototype. He was developing a new mental-control system when the rest of his armors were either destroyed or trapped under a bunch of rubble for a good chunk of the film. Most of those were built between Avengers and probably all prototypes as well. It's also explained in the film that he was suffering from insomnia due to PTSD and that the armors were designed and built during that period. So of course they'd be dodgy. And weren't the Mark VI, VII and VIII destroyed right at the beginning of the assault on his home (I believe they were the three on the main floor of his workshop/lab)?

I believe that this film took the question that Captain America proposed back in Avengers and ran with it: "Take away the armor and what are you?"

But hey, sorry you didn't like the film or the way Mandarin and Tony's suits were handled. I humbly disagree. I also really like boombatty's idea of a second twist with Kingsley's Mandarin, too.

Previous invasion movies.
Fantastic 4 2.
Thor
Avengers the invasion plot furthered. I really thought this was like Dark of the Moon from Transformers to be honest. Of all the plots from old comic books and villians to work with I don't understand why its just aliens they are fighting and that is the smartest thing Marvel Studios/Disney Studios can come up with. I fear for Star Wars 7 hearing this.

I have no idea what you're on about here. There was no "invasion" in Iron Man 3.
