‘Iron Man 2’ defenders still clearing up the confusion over a muddled plot point

There’s a cultural divide surrounding the Iron Man sequel. While Iron Man 2 paled in comparison to its predecessor as far as critical acclaim, it surprisingly out-performed Iron Man at the box office, grossing a worldwide total of $623.9 million. Jon Favreau’s second outing as director proved to be somewhat damaging to the sequel, which would soon become part of a trilogy in 2013. There are downfalls to Iron Man 2 that make it an unworthy successor, but at the same time, the sequel has become so nostalgic and monumental in the expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ is irrelevant.

Another unfortunate spanner in the works for Iron Man 2 is an abundance of plot holes, especially regarding character motives. As u/sin-sonrisa on Reddit points out, Howard from the ’70s couldn’t have possibly known that the Tony Stark of the 21st century would need an elemental replacement for palladium, so why did the blueprints exist in the first place? Well, the answer is actually more straightforward than it sounds.
