Currently drowning in Marvel. And by Marvel I probably mean Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.

Tony Stark under different directors

Jon Favreau: Snarky asshole but portrayed with a heart of gold. There’s an emphasis on Tony having a heroic, selfless side underneath all the snark and rich man shenanigans. 

Joss Whedon: Even more of a snarky asshole than Jon Favreau’s depiction. Plays down the threats in the movie, whether it’s Loki invading Earth or Ultron going on a rampage. Has a witty one-liner for any situation.

Shane Black: Still a snarky asshole but there’s a considerable focus on Stark’s mental health issues and, overall, his human side. Not as confident in himself compared to Favreau and Whedon’s depictions. Arguably, the most human and humbling depiction of Tony Stark. 

The Russo Brothers: Very similar to Jon Favreau’s depiction (an asshole with a heart of gold) but you get the feeling that the Russos wants Tony to suffer. Whether it’s Rhodey getting paralyzed, learning that Bucky murdered his parents, losing Peter to the Snap, or getting stabbed in the chest by Thanos, the Russos enjoy Tony in pain.

Jon Watts: Dad 

Do you ever just want to cry, because Ults!Tony??? He’s dying, takes stupid risks, gets scared shitless by his own bravery, is ready to quit…and the second he realizes people are counting on him he’s back in the fight?! I just can’t even.

He does all that, and yet these are some of the people he's fighting for, people who are happy to send him to his death. But he still gets up and fights for every one of them because in the end, it's true. He thinks, better him than any of them.
