Still really funny that Marvel named a movie “Endgame” and sold it as the final culmination of the MCU where they killed off two main characters and retired a third and then were shocked when people started loosing interest in the MCU after that

THIS

my marvel villain origin story: tony stark died and i am not a fan of it

there’s a big difference between “i’m sad because a character i was emotionally invested in was killed off” and “this character’s death served no purpose, was used for shock value, and is the product of bad writing and i’m upset about that”

Me:

This but also… it turns out HE was the suit of armour around the world all along

robert rly read the script for that scene and saw that m&m wrote tony apologising to steve and said “lol fuck off i’m not saying that” and yelled at evans for 2 minutes straight instead. what an iconic bitch.

Harley, already studying at MIT and practically working on a new project each day, overhears Morgan asking her mother for some form of self-defense aka low key asking for a repulsor. Pepper, of course, says no, because Morgan’s too young and so on.

However, next time Morgan goes back into her bedroom, there’s a brand-new potato gun lying on her bed. Next to it, she finds a simple card, saying:

Potato gun, Mark III

Your pal, the Mechanic

it’s sort of a tradition here in brazil - and in some other countries too -, close family friends, when older than the children, are called uncle/aunt by the kid and i find it v cute 💖

Happy birthday to the Earth’s best defender, to the man who sacrificed everything for a world that didn’t deserve him, to the man who always tried his best. 

Happy birthday, Anthony Edward Stark. (May 29, 1970)

we didn’t see tony’s body because he’s actually just hiding in his basement waiting for everybody to leave so he can take morgan, peter, and harley to the park. faking his death was the only way he could make sure those avenger bitches never bothered him again

this got over 100 notes in like 20 minutes are yall okay

the MCU is basically a “five times Tony Stark almost died to save the world, and the one time he did” fanfic

Thanos destroyed an entire race for a gauntlet that Tony Stark could make in his basement while a build-a-bear rabbit mocked him from the sidelines.

Think about that.

Endgame Thoughts

One way I deal with Tony’s death and Steve’s “happy ending” at the end of Endgame is to think of it as a validation of Iron Man as a hero and a deconstruction of the Captain America legend. 

Tony started out as a flawed man - not hero material, only fights for himself - and he ends up a hero, laying down on the line (not for the first time!). He has grown and matured and made something more of himself.

Tony Stark is Iron Man.

Steve started out as a good man - willing to lie to die for his country, jumps on a grenade - and ends up a flawed man, putting his needs/wants first (not for the first time either!). He has regressed and (literally) shrunken and became something smaller.

Steve Rogers is not Captain America.
