I didn't think that the killing of the terrorists when he rescued the town rang true. I would think that the whole 'saw American soldiers die/No more weapons' thing would have put him off killing. Seems like he would have built additional less lethal weaponry into his armor.




See I took it that he decided that he must make sure the weapns he creates don't fall into the hands of those who would do evil, where before he didnt care as long as he was making weapons.

I don't think he was against killing, just the innocent and the soldiers doing good being killed by his weapons.



Exactly. Not unlike his reaction in "the Armor Wars" when he found out that his IM technology had been stolen and used by supervillains. He didn't give up being Iron Man, he just made sure that no one else would use the technology for evil.


Never read that story line and obviously the comic is different from the movie but...did he kill anybody in Armor Wars? Or did he just go and get his stuff back or render it unusable?

In movie continuity, could Stark not have found a way to make his weapons with some sort of a tracking/detonation device so that at any point his company and/or the military could know the location of piece of Stark produced weaponry? This way he could still provide it for our side and make sure it didn't fall into enemy hands...or destroy it if it did so.

I'm not going to get caught up debating this point any further. I can see it the way bsams laid it out. It makes sense and apparently that's the way the makers of the movie decided to go, but....it just makes more sense to me that he would have developed an aversion to killing ANYBODY...not just US soldiers.


Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
