Maybe that's how it will be. I mean obviously he'll continue to be Iron Man. They even went so far as to say put a "Tony Stark will return" disclaimer after the Bruce bonus scene, but.. I just wonder how. (And I couldn't help but think it was such a waste of tech/materials to blow up the suits. There was nothing wrong with the suits.)
Yeah, I think taking the bullets/arc reactor out was just super easy/convenient/even sort of lazy storytelling. Just suddenly he can figure out how not to need it...?
The CEO thing seems like a convenient plot device to me though and always has. Maybe if we had more than just the token scene of her as the head of Stark industries where Tony comes in and pesters her at work... I vaguely recall Iron Man 2 doing better at that but...also...wasn't she basically his secretary in the first one and then suddenly she's running the whole company in the second one? Her career has always been kind of sketchy/reactionary to whatever Tony's doing. Almost like she has to babysit his company too because he's off being Iron Man. Maybe she's much better fleshed out in the comics (which I haven't read), but in the movies....she just doesn't have any definition separately from Tony IMO.
