I wouldn't be surprised if Iron Man 3s Killian was nothing more than a patsy and a red herring for Mandarin as the terrorist group behind him has been around for 3 movies now. I don't believe Killian would have been the guy a bunch of Middle Eastern terrorists follow. As such, it would be a great twist to find out we were wrong all along. If that is case it might just restore your faith as the Mandarin would then have been the biggest bad guy on the block, pulling all the strings all along. Just a theory mind you but I don't think I am the only one with it.

I would love to believe this, it was about the only thing that kept me from screaming in the theater itself! But after reading an interview with Sir Ben about the reimagining of the character, I have no hope. They wanted him to be different, they wanted to shock viewers the way TDKR did with Talia being the villain in the end. They said they found it difficult to shock comic viewers any more because they know the story, it's been written, and they look at it as to how good it is in reference to the comic and so it's more of a judging process than an enjoyable one. Which, though I can understand, does still piss me off. Because you can find ways to shock us just fine.. THANOS! Whedon knew how to shock and awe at the end of that movie! Why completely destroy a character to shock the fans? It's angering.
