Maybe someone here can help me out with this one.
Near the end of the movie where Tony and Rhodey are fighting on the container ship, Rhodey asks Tony if he can use any of the suits to fight off the Extremis soldiers. Tony says no, that they're specifically designed for himself, forcing Rhodey to run around dodging bullets and having to save the president/Iron Patriot armor on his own. However, right at the end of the Tony-Killian fight Pepper jumps out of the fire, kicks, what appears to be, a piercing armor bullet at Killian, then uses Tony's repulsor arm cannon to detonate the bullet, thus killing Killian.
Does this mean that the suits are specifically made for himself and Pepper (specific bio-signatures?), or does Tony simply want to be the only ones that uses his own suits (i.e., doesn't want to share his toys)? I know there's a scene at the beginning where Tony sends the new Mk.47 to save Pepper when the helicopters attack, but I wonder if this "suit sharing" is alluding to Pepper becoming "Rescue" in the next installment.

On a separate note, I agree that the movie felt like a 7-7.5/10 for me. However, because there was so much going on, I'm going to watch it again to take in whatever I had missed originally (massive armor fight). Do I think it was the best Iron Man movie? No, but it was of a different caliber following the Avengers lead. I might even have to watch the Avengers movie before seeing this again just to put the transition in to a better perspective.
Loved the review banter. Can't wait to get more feedback from you guys once you see it again!
