I don’t think there’s any entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as divisive as Iron Man 3. Shane Black’s 2013 comic book techno-thriller was a hit both with critics and at the box office, and also a crucial stage in the personal arc of Robert Downey jr.’s Tony Stark.

Marvel’s Phase One Collection box-set was a thing of geeky beauty. Unfortunately, it was too big to fit in a Christmas sock, which is the only reason why none of you bought it for me, right? RIGHT?! Well, this Christmas I’ve upgraded from a Christmas sock, to a Christmas Alwynne’s boxer shorts, so trust me, there’s plenty of room for …
