      Favorite marvel film, easily. Its still "cape-shit" and lib, but it certainly helped radicalize me a bit. Just remember throughout the idea of theater. My friend has been on and off working on a video essay about it an metaphorical modern dragons and knights which everytime I watch the film I realize was intentional, but that's a whole other thing connected to the fictional heroes and villains and kfabe of american politics/war

        It’s also a Shane Black film who wrote Lethal Weapon, The Monster Squad, The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero, and The Long Kiss Goodnight.
        Also wrote and directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys in addition to IM3.
        Haven’t actually seen Iron Man 3 but based on how good LKG and Nice Guys are, and your added descriptions, might give it a try some time.
