for the past year or two I've been almost exclusively turning to daredevil when I want to read some comics and thus I forgot that iron man comics just really do hit different for me. that's not even always, or even usually, in a good way. but iron man comics hook my brain in a way that nothing else can. even bad iron man comics, even iron man comics that i hate, activate my brain in a way that nothing else can. truly no other character will ever be tony stark for me
#i think it's that i forget that tony stark is ACTUALLY still my favorite fictional character of all time#that's just been a fact of my life for so long that i forget it actually means something#like oh yeah tony stark is my favorite character. the sun also rises in the east. yknow?#but then i find my way back to Tony Stark Media and i'm like OHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD YEAH HE'S MY F A V O R I T E C H A R A C T E R#and i've been having a great time reading daredevil bc matt is absolutely among my all time favorite characters#and even better daredevil comics are actually good. like daredevil at its worst is like. forgettable and silly. at worst!#as a fan of matt murdock daredevil comics almost never offend me and sometimes as a weathered and tired iron man fan i need that#but dang it......iron man comics........nothing else is like this for me#like even the feeling of being ANGRY ABOUT iron man comics. even the feeling of being tired of iron man comics#i think it's just that i genuinely don't care about any other character quite as much as i care about tony stark
