However, I disagree with you about the "big toy" thing.  Even in the very first movie, he uses it to put right what he put wrong.  In the second movie, well, he's dying, facing his mortality.  Then, in the Avengers, he faces his humanity ("Dude, there are gods, and I'm a guy in a tin can!").  He processes this in IM3.</blockquote>
