Marvel Cinematic Universe: Every Marvel movie’s greatest character
By Mark Lynch
Who is the best character from Iron Man 3?
Marvel character: Tony Stark/Iron Man
Iron Man 3 gets a bad rap. It looked like people were still hoping for the same kind of magic they got in the original Iron Man movie. That can’t be the case. No matter what comes out, the magic can’t be repeated. It was a different kind of movie with a different kind of goal. In this writer’s opinion, Iron Man 3 is the best of the trilogy because of everything Tony Stark accomplished as the focus of the movie.
Iron Man 3 wasn’t about Tony Stark’s beginning or introducing new characters. This entire project was an adventure on a spy kind of scale. Tony didn’t have his armor at all times, the Avengers or Nick Fury to fall back on. All he had was his intelligence. As we saw, that was enough.
The best part may have been Tony dealing with his PTSD. Unlike the rest of the Avengers, this was the first time Tony Stark had been in a battle of that scale. Of course, it was going to take a toll on him. Seeing Stark trying to cope with it was a good idea. Watching him overcome was even better. We didn’t get a lot of the Tony Stark and Iron Man pizzazz that we normally do, but it was still a well-done project.
Honorable mention: James “Rhodey” Rhodes
