I WILL JOOOINNN YOOUUUU. I'm 5'3", fat, short brown-and-gray hair, eyeglasses, probably a green shirt.
Movie!Yinsen is a sweetheart. Also one hell of a doctor. And so, so good with the grace under pressure thing.
There's an interesting (and, AFAIK undiscussed) dynamic within the movie where Yinsen basically takes the place of mentor, protector and colleague (and father figure?) to Tony which Obadiah had had in the "real world", and makes Tony a better person by challenging him to be a better person. If Obadiah had been more like Yinsen, would pre-Afghanistan!Tony have been more like Iron Man!Tony?
It's something you don't get at all in the comics, because comics!Tony doesn't have the tremendously influential Obadiah Stane character as part of Iron Man's origin. In the comics, there's no real Tony/father-figure dynamic of any importance.
