In iron man 2 we see what happens to a man who is on top of his game, his enemies' game and every other game there is which has a top to be on.
the whole movie is on one side, then this scene we are about to discuss happens, and the movie continues to a brief and explosive ending.
tony stark is sitting in a donut, and we know what a thing with a perfect hole in it symbolizes. thats where tony is, thats where he has been for a long while now, in the self obsessed mad-genius partying mad dog race car driving orgasm of a life.
nick fury requests him to exit the donut, he does, they have a discussion in a diner and tony is forced into one more pressure-crunch to prove himself as he did in a cave with a box of scraps some months ago. only this time he wont be making a bulky iron armor-suit, he will be making unobtainium right in his hologram-reeking hi-tech basement, making a small particle accelerator as a part of the process.
the movie ends after 5 minutes and if you blink in any of those 5 minutes you havent missed much, only a couple of explosions, or maybe the hot black widow taking down tens of security guards by moves that would have impressed Neo.
lets hope iron man 3 contains the spirit of the first part, with tony's return to pure innovations in a humble setting.
