Maaaaybe you could argue that Helen, Bob, and Violet have the stamina to run around the city and exert all of their energy.

But you’re telling me that DASH has the ability to propel a boat miles through the ocean, run at super speeds through the jungle, and then run all over the city to stop the Omnidroid with NO FOOD for a full 36 hours??? The average 9 year old boy’s metabolism would not allow that. But a boy with SUPER SPEED would probably have a metabolism like ten times the rate of an average kid. If he’s running at super speeds, he’ll need to constantly be eating and replenishing his body. Absolutely no way his body can physically exert that kind of energy without a source of fuel.

I chose the sling ring because I wouldn't need to drive or use transportation like buses, plus it's the only method of teleportation that fits into a pocket that immediately came to mind.

I think the implication is that Tony will die without the arc reactor…. But is it ever made clear that he will die within MINUTES without it??

My understanding is that the shrapnel is moving through his arteries into his heart— and they will kill him in about a week. But the electromagnet in his chest holds the pieces in place. So if the electromagnet is turned off, he has about a week to live. Right?

So I think the implication in this scene is that Obadiah paralyzed Tony, and his ensuing struggles to get the next arc reactor are not because of his lack of arc reactor, but because he’s still weak coming out of paralysis.

So then why did Obadiah leave him alive?? He was going to kill Pepper with no issues. And he clearly wasn’t scared of the public finding out, considering he took the Ironmonger suit out onto a busy highway.

And even if you want to say that whatever the hell Pepper did when she removed the original arc reactor and caused Tony to go into cardiac arrest led to Tony’s heart now stopping if the arc reactor is not in his chest— meaning that he WOULD die within minutes of losing the reactor….. even then, how would Obadiah know that??

Obadiah left this scene knowing that Tony was still alive… why would he do that????

In the first Ironman movie, we all remember that
Tony has a moment when Yinsen dies, where he tries to save him. And Yinsen reveals that his death was always the plan……. So Tony didn’t know that when they started the plan.

So what did Tony think he was going to do with Yinsen after leaving the cave? Clearly the plan was to burn the place down and launch off with the rocket boots to escape. Why else would he have given the Mark 1 suit flame throwers and rocket boots? It wasn’t like his other suits where he built in a ton of extra features. Tony and Yinsen built only the features they needed into the suit.

So how did Tony expect to get Yinsen out of there? Was he just going to hold onto the back of the suit as they launched 2,000 feet into the air with no parachute??
