They can touch him.. just.. touch him.. and he loses. Suit shuts down, they can tear his near indestructible suits in half.. Iron Man in this movie was a super sissy because these regular civilians get the extremis and as powerful Steve Rogers AND they have hands that can destroy anything. Oh, and they heal like Wolverine. This was just a bit much. Yes, I read the Extremis arc, but they weren't able to 100% dominate Tony by simply touching him..

3. Finally, all the armors. I read a book in Target about all the armors in the movie. Red Snapper? The suit with pinchers to help rescue people? Lame. Why did we not get a "Heartbreaker" super chest arc blast shot to obliterate one of the baddies either? I was so excited for that. This said, some of those suits would be cool to get as individual releases, not ridiculous builder crap. However, why was Tony in malfunctioning suits for most of the entire movie? He didn't have a suit that worked for the first nearly 2 hours of the film. Everything was breaking or low on power.. we barely got any Iron Man in this movie.. even with the crazy amounts of armors in the end. Was it entertaining seeing him jump into different suits and see them all flying around? Sure, but why were they all getting completely destroyed so hard? It bugged me that his armors seemed pathetic and weak all movie long after being able to combat an alien race taking over the planet in just one suit, go through a worm hole, survive, and come back. Put Mark VI back on.. because everything else you've built apparently sucks.

I couldn't agree more. In Avengers, The Mark VII and Mark VI went through Thor(whom I would surmise is WAY stronger than the 'Extremis' people) and the Chitari(spelling?)! While yes, his armor went through some scathes and was barely functioning by the end of the movie(or by the end of the helicarrier scene if we are speaking about the Mark VI), the durability of these said armors still can't be denied compared to the Mark 40 plus of IM3. That and I didn't fully comprehend the 'operation Clean Slate'.

Moving away from that rant now. I would love an Iron Man 3 "Silver Centurion" 6 inch figure. If the debacle of the hall of armors in the movie elicits a flood of toys, then I'd be somewhat more forgiving. As long as the said toys are of course not the assemblers. Hot Toys is jumping on board with a couple of those armors.
