Yup, I like your Tony too. It's also a case of if the original Iron Man came out now, they'd have to do serious maintenance on the character to be palatable. Just like how House (House MD) or Barney (How I met Your Mother) wouldn't be so beloved now.

I guess I'll just use the age wiggle room to make myself happy, cuz it's a lot easier to understand Pepper when I assume she is younger.
