Origin of Iron Man: Part 2 - S1-E12
Stupidity: When Mandarin is eavesdropping on what he believes to be Tony Stark and Yinsen eating their bowls of rice, but is actually a hologram, Stark remarks that it won't fool him for long. The hologram is nothing more than a static image of the two holding their bowls up to their mouths. The Mandarin shouldn't have been fooled by it all, considering they never move a muscle or consume any of the rice near their mouths. (00:11:49)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Some critics criticized the premise of so many one-off battles that were introduced and concluded within one or two episodes. Others felt the first-season plot lines were overly simplistic and never progressed or developed through the season. Also, the rivalry between Iron Man and the Mandarin also failed to capture viewer's attention.
