Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn’t always roll that way… Then again, that’s the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end… Everything’s gonna work out exactly the way it’s supposed to. 

letting a traumatized character have their happy ending where they can recover from their trauma will always be a thousand times more powerful than killing them off for shock value

The day I watched an interview where rdj said he asked for tony to be traumatized in im3 after the events of Avengers is honestly the day I came back back from the dead. “I thought rather than pretending that didn’t happen, let’s bring it into the latest installment” he says. Wow. Bless you rdj. Yes, recognize that trauma is a very real and ugly problem and yes do it in a mainstream superhero film!! It’s been years and I’m still yelling about this! Yes, have Iron Man himself have three panic attacks on screen, and actually have the words “anxiety attack” spoken and treated seriously!! This will always be so important and I’ll never forget that rdj went and said “hey guys a normal person would be traumatized after all that, so we should show that”

Alright, I’ve run out of patience. Underoos!
