"Remember what I told you about bullies..." Tony Stark
It's nice to see Tony Stark grow up a bit. He finally has something on his mind other than being cranky and miserable and completely self-centered. (I promise that I really do love Tony. I think he's hilarious. He's just a bit of a selfish asshole.) He's proven that he isn't perfect and that things bother him and that he has no idea of how to deal with his issues, and it's refreshing. Finally he's finding strength by analyzing his shortcomings, and it makes him more of a hero than he was in the past. He's finally become a role model. The story is interesting enough, the Iron Man suits are amazing, and Pepper Potts is freaking incredible. Seriously, she's strong, opinionated, and unique. She stands up for what she believes in and for what she needs to make her life better. Not only that, but she saves Tony from what's taking over his life and allows him to move on. As sad as I was to see the Iron Man suits destroyed because they are beautiful and awesome, I'm quite happy for Tony Stark to return, and for Iron Man to take a bit of a hiatus. Tony is finally ending a film in a good place, both physically and emotionally, and as a character he deserves some time to enjoy that, kick back with his science buddy Bruce and allow both himself and Pepper to heal and move on past all the shit he brought down on them. The characters truly are what make this film what it is, as is true in most Marvel films. Iron Man is finally teaching us that it's okay for someone who is strong to have difficulty dealing with something, that it isn't a weakness, but a part of evolving and growing.
