What version of The Mandarin are you talking about?
The one from the comics. Which you probably don't know, since I doubt that you have ever read any comic book with the Mandarin. Since all your "Killian had Mandarin's traits" bullshÑ–t is something that you repeating from someone else.
Im talking the Iron Man 3 movie..
Which is my point. It was never going to be a thing. There was never going to be any implication that the Mandarin is a legit character.
You've seen the movie.
No shÑ–t! If I didn't see the movie, then I wouldn't criticize it so much
Neither did The Mandarin.
Stop mentioning Haunted storyline, pal. The more people like you continue referring to that story, the less I appreciate it. There are dozens of other storylines with the Mandarin. But I guess since you are familiar with that story only because of that lame post, made by some anime-loving jackass from Tumblr, you keep mentioning it.
The Mandarin went undercover as a Government official
But deep down he still had the mind of a conqueror who was driven by a great deed of his ancestors. His businessman persona is only a facade. The emphasis is on
went undercover. He wasn't part of the government. Aldrich Killian very much was part of it, and he wanted to work with the goverment to make profits.
In the movie, Aldrich Killian is exactly what you think he is. What in the comics was a facede for the Mandarin, in the movie is an actual villain.
and tricked Maya so he can get his hands on Extremis virus
Except, Maya in Iron Man 3 was not tricked. She was evil all along, until she didn't changed her mind in the middle of the film.
and create an army of super-soldiers for world domination
O my god...
Pal, did you even read that story? Well, allow me to explain it to you: during Knauf's run on Iron Man, Mandarin came back from the dead. But this time, he wasn't driven by antagonism towards Tony Stark. His entire mindset was reshaped, and Mandarin have rethought his life goal.
After being humiliated by dozens of deafeats, he understood that the only way for him to fulfill his destiny of taking this world into his hands, is too kill everything that lives in it. In order to win, Mandarin had to lose. He decided to start genocidal pandemic that'd kill 99% of living organisms of this world, including himself.
He basically was a suicidal Darwinist in that story. He wanted to kill all the life, to make only the strongest survive. He wasn't looking for world domination. He was looking for genocide.
like Killian was doing..
No, he wasn't.
Killian wanted to make profit by working with the government. He was seeking money and power. Mandarin from Haunted wanted to destroy the life on earth to prove a point, not to make money.
Favreau, the executive producer of Iron Man 3..
Christopher Nolan was the executive producer on Batman v Superman. So? Just because someone is credited as an exec, it doesn't mean that they have any creative input on the product. The executive producer doesn't do anything fundamental about the movie. Jon Favreau did not wrote the script, nor he had any influence on it.
Anyways, he said the guy who gave Ivan Vanko the passport is a Ten Ring member.
Yeah, because he was spreading out Mandarin's seeds through each film in order to build him up for the third movie, which he did not direct because he did not like how Marvel treated him on the last one.
By him saying that, it explains why Killian used Ten Rings as a decoy, thats one.
How does it explain that?! The only thing thing that it explains, is that Favreau was going to do the Mandarin, until Shane Black and Drew Pearce didn't came along to take big dump on his ideas for the third movie. Iron Man 3 was never going to be the movie it ended up being when Favreau was still going to direct it.
Two, having this Hail To The King short made it still justifies that a "real" Mandarin was always there..
That short-film was made solely to apologize before the fans. It wasn't made intentionally. It was a reaction. Is that hard for you to understand?
So again, if the real Mandarin appears in the future then its justified..
Stop repeating this copypasta all the time, pal. And no, it's not "justified", since you can't justify awfulness of Iron Fail 3.
BTW, Favreau still works with Marvel.
As a director?
He is as far as Iron Man 3 is concern.
"as far" what? Give verb to your sentence.
You dont like it thats tough sht..
I don't like it because it's: 1. Bad. 2. It's inauthentic to the character.
