Warning, full spoilers for Iron Man 3 are ahead! The Marvel One-Shot that will be included with Thor: The Dark World DVD/Blu-Ray, will be about the Mandarin, and it will be named "All Hail the King." Last spoiler warning. As you know, in one of the best plot twists in years, Ben Kingsley's Mandarin turned out to be nothing more than an actor named Trevor Slattery that was used to portray the Mandarin, however the inmates at the prison are not aware that he is a fake, so Slattery keeps up the act. The One-Shot will be 14 minutes long. Thankfully Marvel is not running away from the controversy about the Mandarin turning out to be a fake and instead they are embracing it. The short film will take place in Seagate prison. Fans of the comics will know that Seagate prison is where Luke Cage received his powers after being falsely imprisoned, and considering that the character is going to have his own Netflix series in the next few years, possibly having a brief cameo by the character would be great.

I still don't see how people were so angry with this plot twist. Not only was it hilarious, but I didn't see it coming from a mile away.
ReplyDeleteLiterally, some people are so angry with it that they are calling Iron Man 3 the worst movie of the year and even worse than the second one (this happens often on IGN). It boggles my mind because it was in my Top 10 and one of the main reasons was because of that hilarious twist.
I know. Most twists are easy to coming, and I have to say that Iron Man 3 was the first movie to truly surprise me in a long time.
DeleteThe hate the movie receive is mind boggling! Especially on IGN as you said. It makes want to reach out and slap some of those people because the movie was excellent. Thanks Jordan!

I think the outrage is coming from Iron Man fans who regard the Mandarin as worthy of being the serious villain of an entire feature instead of a hoax/plot twist. He's one of the best villains in IM's rogue's gallery and it would have been awesome to see a truly no-holds-barred battle between the two (both physically and financially). I was pretty surprised when Kingsley was cast as the Mandarin - he's not Asian! I still enjoyed IM3 and thought the twist was amusing. Kingsley's a great actor and his character was funny. I can't wait to see this short too.
DeleteVery curious to see this, I personally enjoyed the twist and thought Kinsley was great.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you liked the twist, not that many did.

@Jordan, I can't see how anyone hated the film either, it was one of the best films of 2013 in my opinion. I personally didn't mind the plot twist, it was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually get to watch one-shots (I've seen a couple), so I might not get to see this, but it's interesting that they would pick the 'Mandarian' for the one-shot....my spider-senses are tingling....
Looking forward to your review of the new AOS episode, James!
