It's not like we're talking about Magneto, Lex Luthor, or the Joker here.

I agree with this here. I was a huge fan of the movie but it had absolutely nothing to do with the Mandarin portrayal. Dude is a low-tier villain in my eyes. I could probably name 20 more prominent villains in Marvel alone off the top of my head..
