Holy crap. That was amazing. I loved the fact that there was just enough referneces to ground the show in the cinematic universe without making it feel like it was dependent on the movies.
I wonder does this episode take place before or after Mandarin's fall? How can they still be mass producing Extremis without Maya? Is this shit pimped out? Either way, this pilot alone answers why the dudes were not available on the fall of Tony Stark
