You notice the theme in Iron Man is he has an awakening moment and stops selling arms while he enforces what he thinks is justice through his own weapons. Kind of like our current leaders. Two sets of laws. One for them and the other for us.
While in the second movie I did agree with him that it was his property and the government stole it from him.
I hit send to quick. That said it is not the same Jon Favreau. The Hollywood guy is a bit older. He plays Iron Man’s driver in the second movie and the nut linebacker in the Replacements. The other one look like a fairy.
