Pepper getting her own suit in canon makes me very happy. That is what I want for her, or something like it. Her keeping movie verse Extremis powers (minus the exploding as I just rambled about above) instead of or in conjunction with would be equally awesome.
Yes, that is what I thought Extremis was. I'm glad to know I didn't make it up. I should probably go read the comic since that is clearly not how things are happening in movie verse and it's something I would like to see. Though I suppose in a way Tony dealing with his PTSD is a bit like wrestling his mind back from it being under the control of another entity. Anxiety attacks do rather feel like something else is exerting control over your brain without your permission (at least for me anyway). So I can see where that piece of it could maybe have come from as far as movie vs. comics goes. Mostly I am just having a really enjoyable time thinking a lot about Tony Stark again.
And, I totally feel weird about him not having the arc reactor. It's been years and he was really a different person before it. I have yet to find a really good post-reactor fic that makes me feel okay with it being gone because everything that mentions the lack of reactor also has him without a suit. He says he's going to scale back on suits not stop making them all together. Tony and the suit are one. sigh. I should probably quit complaining and try writing it myself.
I've read a ton of speculation that Tony wouldn't have had the shrapnel/reactor removed with out having injecting himself with Extremis first, because otherwise, how could he heal from having the arc reactor in his chest in the first place. Think about it, Pepper's hand fit in it up to her wrist, human's CAN'T heal from that.
If that is the case, I hope it's explored in Avengers two because that's something so freaking HUGE to Tony that I can't believe they short cut it to the audience.
I too, am so happy to be talking about Tony again I can hardly stand it.
Yes, right. Exactly. It makes me wonder if there are deleted scenes. It makes me hope there are deleted scenes and that we get to see them. But, yes, even better would be seeing it in Avengers 2 which seems very plausible. I mean Joss is a comic fan too so it's got to bug him about the arc reactor hand wave too. And they have cut more personal stuff about Tony from previous movies like the toilet scene before he jumps out of the plane in IM2.
Oh Tony, I just have so many feeling about his feelings.

I never saw that deleted scene. Thor help me, I *must* find it!
When I first got into comics I never imagined that I could ever care about any character more than the ladies from Birds of Prey.
And then I met Tony Stark and I will never love another super hero more than him.

And there's also this one which I'd forgotten about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmTm9_SowqE
Yes. Tony Stark is just my fictional type to a T (haha) and those clips just cement it. I am powerless to resist a self destructive genius.
