Rankings:
Superhero Moment
3/5
Suitcase suit!!
But also the Black Widow reveal. Holy cats.
Casting
4/5
The Black Widow and Justin Hammer castings are perfect. Sam Rockwell is never not the right choice.
Costume
3/5
SUITCASE SUIT!!
I think especially because, to this point, all we had seen was that it takes an entire room to get him in and out of the suit.
Theme Song
0/5
Notes
Definitely not the best of the MCU, but it did serve to lay some important stepping stones for the overall universe arc, as well as Tony’s development.
Also Sam Rockwell dancing.
