gen_is_goneI'm currently re-watching Iron Man. First thoughts: !!!Pepper! !!!Original!Rhodey!
It's interesting how Iron Man functions very much as a stand alone movie, completely contained outside of the stinger. Along the same lines, it doesn't feel like what I think of MCU movies feeling like. For that matter, neither do the The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man 2. I think that by Thor it is there, but Iron Man has a totally different texture in comparison. Honestly, it feels more grounded in reality.
While I do love Cheadle!Rhodey, I have to admit I miss how huggy Howard!Rhodey was. He and Tony are absolutely adorable. I wish more people OT3'd them and Pepper.
Man, Coulson dresses and acts really different from his later outings. I mean, yes, he was supposed to be a one-off character, and no one at the time thought he'd get so popular, but still.
Also? Yinsen's death is still the most devastating in the franchise. It's crushing, and he doesn't get a resurrection and a TV show.
