All Hail the King

A documentary crew interviews Trevor Slattery in prison about pretending to be the Mandarin, and the interviewer turns out to have another reason for being there.

Fourteen minutes of a failed actor enjoying prison celebrity, and then a reversal: the man asking the questions is from the real Ten Rings, and he is there because the real Mandarin is offended.

It exists to answer the loudest complaint about Iron Man 3, and it does it without contradicting the film. Ten years later the thread it leaves hanging is picked up in a feature.
