The most notable example was the panache with which Gwyneth delivered one of the best lines of the movie: Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [after Stark's one night stand with Christine] I have your clothes here; they've been dry cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go. Christine Everheart: You must be the famous Pepper Potts. Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [smiles and nods] Indeed I am. Christine Everheart: After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning. Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all? What a fantastic insult! And Gwyneth delivered it perfectly!

Her props above are well-deserved, because as an assistant Pepper gets her shit DONE! But Gwyneth didn't give Pepper the awesomeness she was due. That being said, I want to BE Iron Man (mostly because I want to play with the suit. I want to fly! And to blow shit up.)
