As a lifelong comics fan and someone who still reads 15-20 books a month, I can't believe there is this much affection for The Mandarin. He's dated and vaguely racist, and really only achieves his position of prominence because Iron Man has a shallow rogues gallery. People have been trying to fix him for the past 20 years. I don't see this as something like X-Men 3, where they wasted the the greatest X-Men story ever. I mean, what is the great Mandarin story? What about the character makes him Iron Man's best villain? It's not like we're talking about Magneto, Lex Luthor, or the Joker here.
