They seemed to make it pretty clear he dies. Obadiah goes to his camp, takes the MK1 armor then orders his men to kill everyone. You never actually see Raza die though.

- Yes, my timing was clearly bad.
Just like we never saw what happened with Mand...errr...Trevor.

Trevor said he got plastic surgery to alter his appearance.....we never see Raza die, Mandarin is the leader of the Ten Rings, conspiracy theorists go nuts!

Marvel no doubt had a reason why they did this in IM3.
This is not the end of Trevor me thinks, especially since it's been posted that Sir Ben signed multiple deals, if that's even accurate.

I'll be seeing this crappy, unoriginal, lazy, sloppy movie for a 3rd time today.

Yeah! This movie is just so bad that people that seem to dislike it keep going back for more and more!
I've seen it twice now, I think I can wait until blu ray (which will probably be soon). First thing I'll do is skip to the Mandarin/Trevor parts.

I have a new attitude walking out of my bathroom since the movie.
I will always wear a robe when doing # 2.

Hot Toys should increase the price by each second of screen time the armor has.

As much as I want to believe that i'm ready to ditch HT/Enterbay after my 89 Batmobile arrives and deal only with Neca for their very reasonable prices, it will be hard to walk away from HT 1/4 Returns figure or 1/6 Batwing.
I just love what Neca is doing in this hobby though, a big middle finger to the bic bois.

A lot of good ideas regarding the Mandarin here.
Truth is, yes, they could have gone a few different ways and made them work. For me, though, I thought this all worked just fine. The twist didn't feel all that shocking to me for some reason. And although I never liked the extremis storyline (granted I never actually read the story, just heard about it), I went along with it and felt like it fit with the movie and the universe that has been established.
Someone mentioned that Mandarin was never much of a villain in the comics, even though he's considered IM's ultimate nemesis. I generally agree with that. But I guess I can understand the viewpoint that people feel the movie squandered the opportunity to finally do something good with the character to make him worthy or IM's greatest villain, especially because everything leading up to the twist suggested this.
However, I still feel that the movie worked. Yes, they threw away the chance of a good villain, but they really didn't throw away an actual good villain. I thought the movie was fun, exciting, engaging, surprising, and I was emotionally invested in all the characters (even the henchmen) and Tony's personal journey. That's about all I ask for in a great comic book movie, and I got that in spades.
