In conclusion Robert Downey Jr. is in fact Tony Stark
Why must you do this to our hearts ? 💔
too fucking early for this
my heart can’t take it
Now that I got this whole “Tony and Thanos are parallels” thing stuck in my head, it struck me how when Thanos entered the Soul Realm post-*SNAP!* he touched the center of his chest (where Stormbreaker pierced him) and then looked at his left hand (which was mangled by the force of the gauntlet).
Like… Tony’s got the whole heart trauma thing going on that led to the arc reactor. And Tony has the arc reactor back in his chest in this movie (first time since Iron Man 3 in 2013):
After Thanos snaps his fingers, we see how fucked up his arm is:
Thanos himself is like “Oh dude that’s gnarly.” And Thor is like “Oh dude, your hand is smoking.”
The first thing Tony does when Peter disintegrates is looks at his left arm and curls it against his body. (Of note; Tony’s right hand is free of blood and ash, but his left is covered in it, making it looked injured, which is why a lot of people suspected Tony’s hand got hurt when the trailer came out.)
This of course goes back to all the creepy nods about Tony’s left arm. Most predominately in CA:CW where Tony rocks a sling for a while and says, “My left arm is numb, is that normal?”
I just wanted to point out the imagery similarities cuz THE WHOLE THING IS WEIRD, OKAY?
I’ve been following this weird left arm trail for so long, I NEED the conclusion in Avengers 4
Da fuc?
Flirting: you’re doing it right
I love Asian Jim with Scott.

OML IM CRYING
tony stark + trauma [1/2] ↳ ptsd symptoms
Me: Can this man please have a therapist? Can he PLEASE have a therapist?
I’ve seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself.
I’m so tired of getting ripped on for liking Tony. So many throw him under the bus and say that all he does is walk away from the fight and would put his life over any of his teammates. And. It’s. Not. True. The cocky, asshole exterior is what’s shielding everyone from seeing that he’s only human and can only handle so much at the end of the day. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: If you hate Tony Stark, you can kindly unfollow.
So I watched IM3 last night, and one part had me remembering the confrontation scene between Steve and Tony in Avengers 1 – specifically, the part where Steve says that Tony’s “not the kinda guy to lay down on a wire and let the other guys crawl over you.” Tony’s reply is “I think I would just cut the wire,” and Steve responds with “Always got an answer for everything,” or something like that.
And it just abruptly struck home how incredibly representative that scene is of Tony’s overall character. Because in IM3, in the space of four minutes of film, Tony “cuts the wire,” so to speak, twice.
First off, Rhodey tells Tony that they can either save the President and AirForce One, or they can save Pepper, but they can’t do both.
But Tony manages to do both. The options were “pick between the President and Pepper,” and Tony didn’t like those options, so he created a third option, and he managed to get to both AirForce one and Pep. He “cut the wire.”
And secondly, after all the staff have been sucked out of the plane and are falling to their deaths, and Tony flies after them:
“How any are there?” he asks JARVIS. “Thirteen, sir,” J replies. “How many can I carry?” Tony asks. “Four, sir,” is the answer.
Yet, again – Tony manages to save them all. He can only carry four, but that’s just not gonna fly as an option, so he creates another choice. Thinks outside the box, and runs a team effort game of barrel o’ monkeys and saves all 13.
And that’s just in four minutes of film. That’s not counting all the other times someone has told him “these are your options,” and Tony has replies with “cool, thanks, I’m gonna go with none of them,” and then goes off script ans creates a whole new, unique, successful option.
“I think I would just cut the wire ” “Always got an answer for everything.” Yes, actually. He kinda does.
And obviously, sometimes when the only option genuinely is to lay down on the wire and make the sacrifice play, he doesn’t hesitate to do that too: hi, nuke through a wormhole.
So yeah. Just got to thinking. Everyone quotes the “genius billionaire playboy philanthropist” line as a way to sum up Tony’s character, but I think the “I think I would just cut the wire” encapsulates him far better.
peter parker would’ve died in infinity war whether he stayed on earth or not, so can we please use more than 2 brain cells and stop blaming tony stark for his death? thanks
Happy 48th Birthday, Anthony Edward Stark! (May 29th, 1970)
oh take me back to the start
Hurt!
