One thing that came to mind before we move off Iron Man is how much of a game changer that last scene is (not the tag). “I am Iron Man”. Up to that point most superhero films had largely focused on keeping a secret identity even if heroes tended to take off their masks a lot. I want to say this had a large effect on the Arrowverse as secret identities (while retained for the most part) tend to be quite flexible when it comes to who they let into their inner circle. And come to think of it, the main reason secret identities tend to be kept (to avoid enemies targeting loved ones) has largely been avoided in the MCU. Sure loved ones are targeted at times of convenience, but I can’t really think of a villain going out of their way to capture someone as part of their plan
