In this picture above, the Mandarin in the anime has parts of armor similar to his Armored Adventures version which shows that the Japenese creators of the show were inspired by the Mandarin's armor in Iron Man Armored Adventures which definately shows that not everyone around the world was happy with Marvel Studios trying to rip them all off on the character's Marvel Cinematic version with an extremis enhanced Aldrich Killian in Iron Man 3 over Shane Black's inspiration of Mallen fighting Iron Man all bareskin with the serum injected into him in the comics. Therefore it shows that Killian was never approved as the MCU version and that Ben Kingsley's portrayal of the character in the comics wasn't acceptable for the character to be done in the actual cartoons at all.
And that's a good thing because with the Mandarin being the villain with the power of 10 rings, he is way too perfect to be screwed up over slackery, greed for billions, and such crappy theatrical expressions.
And seeing that the Mandarin in series was depicted in Armor just like Armored Adventures, it turns out that the Japenese have seen the Iron Man Armored Adventures and were inspired by the Mandarin's armored portrayal and it also shows that the character from this point on his more likely to be used as an armored villain in the shows and for how he will be depicted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the real leader of the Ten Rings who is yet to appear in Iron Man 4 and even more films after that as well.
Armed with 10 magic rings this time
Portrayed by a male asian actor with Will Yun Lee, Byung Hun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada and Tohoru Masamune as the four primary and recomendable choices
And with the power of Ten Rings, the Mandarin is one villain that many desperately want to see and for real this time! And now that we saw him fight the Avengers on the small screen for the first time
It's time we have the Mandarin bring the fight to them on the big screen in phase 4 And by making him the leader of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Masters of Evil, the Mandarin should be approved as Avengers 4's primary villain
And seeing how he fires projectile beams from his rings in the anime series, they should be easy to do in the films as well
Now stay tuned for more updates on what Marvel has to offer.
