Iron Man 3 (brief spoilertastic reaction)

[selenay]

I just got home and I'm buzzed and exhausted so actual thoughtful thoughts will have to wait until tomorrow. Briefly:

- EEEEEEEEEE!
- Also, EEEEEEEEEEE!
- How much do I love Pepper? Thiiiiiiis freaking much!
- Not only was Pepper doing some quality Tony saving from early in the film (why do I find Pepper in the suit so damn hot?), she was the one who pretty much saved the day at the end as well. So much Pepper love.
- I firmly believe that when Tony said "I am Iron Man" at the end, his 'Clean Slate' protocol meant 'destroy the suits, time to make a new final awesome version'.
- Also, my headcanon is that the bot he drove away with at the end was Dummy and he's going to spend the next few weeks repairing Dummy and putting him back together and then giving him a gold party dunces hat. OK?
- Th entire theatre lost it at the Mandarin/Trevor reveal, so brilliant.
- Finally, best post-credit sequence EVER.

Uh, you may have guessed that I rather loved it a lot and I'm already planning another viewing next week with my regular movie buddy because it will be needed to absorb all the awesome I missed.
