As we all know, the Mandarin is a fictional character, a supervillain who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics and serves as the archenemy of Iron Man. He was created by Stan Lee and Don Heck who introduced the character into the comics in February 1964.
With the 10 rings that he wears on, they each possess 1 specific element and power individually
and with the 10 magic rings the character wears on his fingers, the Mandarin was created as the arch-enemy of Iron Man for one very good reason...
"To express an opposition between magic and technology, meaning the opposite of what doesn't exist and what really does exist."
People were all looking forward to seeing Iron Man fight the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 once it was released in theaters but instead of having Mandarin battle Iron Man as he usually does, director Shane Black purposly INSULTS the character's role in the movie with his completely stupid misdirection and deception by making Kingsley official Mandarin look like a fraud and Pearce's Aldrich Killian the real one when he certainly does NOT look anything like the character or do anything the character does at all. Because of that stupid and irritating setback that Shane has caused, not only did his selfish idea let everyone down, but his stupid decision to use that evil and crappy twist has plagued Iron Man 3 and the story line to both the second and third phase of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But this is not the first time a film was plagued by a character twist, the same thing happened between Shockwave and Sentinel Prime in Transformers Dark of the Moon and the irritating Talia al Ghul from Dark Knight Rises. Other than Shane Black, directors Michael Bay and Christopher Nolan have purposely not been completely honest with what they were doing. That instead of giving people honest satifaction, they not only rob us of our time and excitement but they also end up robbing us of our dignity.
Hopefully since Ben Kingsley's character from Iron Man 3 is still alive, we only got one hope of having the Mandarin reintroduced as the supervillain that blasts lasers from his rings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We have to take it up with Kevin Peige. As President of Production at Marvel Studios, he's the one in charge of what the directors should use in the Marvel films and since the Avengers sequel is rumored to feature the Masters of Evil, there is still a chance that Ben Kingsley's character can be RENEWED as a more serious Mandarin who uses laser and magic blasting rings courtesy of Thanos who would have him join Crossbones in the Masters of Evil because Kingsley's character is all that's left of the bad guys other than Justin Hammer in the Iron Man films.
So Hurry Up and CONVICE FEIGE TO CAST KINGSLEY AS THE OFFICIAL and reintroduced Mandarin now while you can
NO COMPLAINTS AND
NO EXCUSES!
