Perfection ❤❤

full offense, but does it ever hit you in the god damn gut that tony stark, protector, knight in shining armor tony stark –

mister “i saw young americans killed by the very weapons i created to defend them and protect them,” mister “i’m trying to protect the people i put in harm’s way,” mister “i hope i can protect the one thing i can’t live without,” mister “i see a suit of armor around the world,”

the guy who answers for his most paternalistic acts (like wanting to keep pepper and wanda locked in a mansion) with “i can’t protect you out there” and “i did it to protect you,”

tony stark, whose gradually worsening mental conditions show in his progressively more backwards, desperate attempts to protect people, tony stark who’s been trying to protect people to the point of harmful consequences,

that tony stark

is the single character

in the entire mcu

who has been accused

– by friends, enemies, and civilians alike

in every movie he’s been in –

of FIGHTING ONLY FOR HIMSELF

SIMILARLY

THIS TONY STARK

tony “i shouldn’t be alive” stark, tony “i’m not the hero type” stark, mister “you deserve better,” “you’re right, i don’t deserve her,” “it’s me, you’ll think of something [to complain about],” “you’re in a relationship with me, everything will never be okay,” “i saw them all dead, felt it, because of me,”

tony stark, who shoots his reflection and views himself as a “monster” and openly resents himself during his speech about charles spencer, THIS TONY STARK

IS THE SINGLE CHARACTER WHO’S CONSISTENTLY PERCEIVED, IN-UNIVERSE AND IN A META LEVEL BY MOST OF THE FANDOM,

AS SOMEONE WHOSE EGO NEEDS TO BE PUT IN CHECK

I AM HONESTLY

Just because he hates himself doesn’t change the fact that he only thinks about himself. He’s making other people miserable because of his own self loathing. He’s not protecting people because people should be protected, he’s protecting people, against their will in many cases, because he thinks the things he’s done make him obligated to do so. That’s not altruism, that’s egoism.

It’s always about him. Him and only him. All problems are his fault. All solutions are his responsibility. All attempts to do things differently from how he wants them are personal attacks against him.

The man’s ego is BOUNDLESS. Just because it’s also self destructive actually makes it worse, because he’s going to take everything else down with him.

Okay, so I thought I was going to be able to just put out a post like this and then let it go and not mind the commentary, but alas, I can’t. Especially because so much of the commentary seems to be going the same general direction.

Here I’ll engage more substantively with @sailor-arashi and @awa64 (here) because they’re the only ones who bothered to put forth an argument? So let’s go.

(This is unnecessarily long and I’m certainly not expecting replies or acknowledgment, it’s just that it’s my post and I didn’t want to leave this unaddressed and I’m avoiding homework etc)

you know, shit tony stark whatever you want but let clarify some things because i see y’all dragging robert downey jr for stuff isn’t on him. so first, robert downey jr is an actor, he is not a marvel exec, he is not a marvel producer, he is an actor. so i see you guys using a goddamn article of 2015 that isn’t confirmed to try to “prove” robert pushed marvel to make civil war (i mean, a actor, as famous as he is cannot force a goddamn company that hires them to make it)

so let show you some quotes of the directors, anthony and joe russo:

another article:

Here’s Robert Downey Jr in a interview approaching the subject

here’s kevin feige (president of production at marvel studios) answer for how early did they wanted to go with the civil war arc in the mcu:

so we have the directors saying they decided with kevin and had to WOO robert to do it, we have kevin saying they wanted to do it for a long time, we have robert surprised people think he would force them to make a movie and yet you still blame the actor for being part of a project and doing his job. if you want blame someone blame joe and anthony russo and kevin feige.

i still cant get over the updated sorcerer supreme tony stark 

he has a giant a crotch arc reactor 

also is that a ponytail

and look at at that tiny fucking robot helper holding up his cape so it looks more dramatic oh my fucking go d

jfc tony ur a hot mess in every universe

Did you also see the tiny robot helper giving Eva Bell a handkerchief because she’s sad?

This is the most adorable thing ever okay I NEED MORE OF IT

and they’re not just tiny robot helpers 

they’re tiny robot helpers shaped like batteries 

ugh i can’t handle this 

Mosaic and banner before the game.

I guess I’d say my armor, it was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon. And now, I’m a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can’t take away…I am Iron Man.
