It just seemed like it was glossed over too. They made it seem like all he needed to do to remove it was to stop and concentrate on a way to do it. If that were the case, wouldn't he have done that in IM2 when it was killing him?<br /><br />In the comics, Tony modified Extremis and used it on himself. It kind of made him like Jon. He gained a limited healing factor, and could remotely interface with machines, which allowed him remote control of his armors. Why they avoided doing that in the movie when it would have explained away the problems with the movie I don't know. <br /><br />Also, Extremis in the comics was unstable, and therefore produced inconsistent powers in people. It wasn't explained very well in the movie though. <br /><br />Overall I think it wasn't as good as the first Iron Man, but with a few tweeks, and maybe 5-10 extra minutes it could have been far better.

Instinctively, I kept longing for Highlander to come in and "take their heads" - why didn't our heroes think of that? - seems like the easiest solution. I need to see the film again to be sure they actually removed the electromagnet from Stark's chest - all I really remember was the schrapnel being removed. Another thing left hanging was whether Pepper still has the superpowers (regulated), or whether he found a way to actually remove the changes to her DNA. My friends seem to assume the latter, but I didn't think it was that clear cut.<br />(P.S. - Welcome back from your trip!)<br />-old aggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
