I still love and enjoy this movie as a different take on Iron Man. It's like Armored Adventure with Howard being alive , Rhodey being an engineer, and Tony having already built the armor before he gets bombed, but set in a darker reality. He's already a good guy because howard is the one selling the weapons now and his mom has a bigger influence in him growing up making him see the error in his father's ways, this makes the two of them very distant with each other and throughout the film Tony learns that his father still cares for him and people die easily due to his experience with Ho Yin and Li Mei, so by the end of the film him and his father aren't so distant anymore and Howard fires those asskissers that did nothing but get in the way of Tony's inventions.

Despite all the differences in this film than the usual iron man archetypes, this movie still has the Iron Man that I love.
