Stephen:

Ok i wanna know why we keep hypin up this moment in IW so damn much 

because literally two seconds later, Thanos leaves Steve knocked the fuck out with one swift punch to the face

meanwhile Tony Stank is on another planet getting moons thrown at him and giving Thanos an actual fight using tech he built himself

like bitch even Thanos was Shook™️ for a moment before he did the stabby stabby which led us to this iconic line where he is talking directly to Tony!

But y’all wanna stay sleepin on Anthony Edward Stark callin him a villain and whatever. Like the behavior he exhibited was Iconic, like the Legend jumped out. And yes, Thanos did look annoyed when he was going up against Steve before getting the last infinty stone but it was probs because Steve’s dumb ass didnt realize that he has two fuckin hands and was just tryna hold Thanos’ hand or some shit idk

TL;DR: Tony Stark doesnt deserve this and Steve needs to step up his titan fighting game

ENTPs simply don't talk less

this is so funny . tony’s in the same number of movies as steve but he has over 3 times as many lines 

[starkyness]

The first time I head someone say “Tony Stark created all his villains” I thought “Oh my god that’s brilliant! I love it!” because I honestly love the idea of a hero who started out as a villain and is now haunted by his past in the form of people he has wronged.

So I was actually a little disappointed when I watched the movies again because Tony had a lot less influence on his villains than I had been lead to believe. He has some, but a lot of it was trivial stuff we’re all guilty of.

Terrorists

Probably the closest thing to villains truly created by Tony because of malice. He was too stupid and self centered to see the pain his weapons caused these people and it took them kidnapping him to be shaken out of his entitled, drunken stupor. If not for them he would definitely have stayed a villain.

Obadiah Stane

Tony was a victim of him rather than the other way around. Through it probably wasn’t intended when the first Iron Man movie came out, later movies have implied that Stane was a member of Hydra who helped arrange Tony’s parents murder, then made himself Tony’s new father figure and got to work grooming him, all so he could eventually become the owner of Stark Industries.

Ivan Vanko

His beef wasn’t really with Tony but with Tony’s dad for screwing over Ivan’s dad. He basically just decided that the sons should continue their fathers’ battle and was ready to kill and maim hundreds of people to get to Tony.

Justin Hammer

Just a fellow arms dealer who fell in love with Tony. In an attempt to get ahead on the marked and impress Tony he broke Ivan out of prison and realized too late how mad Ivan was. Not evil so much as stupid and I have no idea how Tony could have stopped this other than fucking Justin so he wouldn’t be so desperate for his attention.

Ultron

Created by Tony from the bottom up, and his version of a knee-jerk fear reaction. The moral of Age of Ultron: don’t let people with unchecked anxiety and PTSD create weaponized robots.

Aldrich Killian

Tony didn’t meet him on the roof. Killian saw this as a good reason to turn into a murderous maniac instead of, you know, chill for a second.

Trevor Slattery

Does he even count?

Quentin Beck

Tony didn’t credit him for his invention and called it BARF, and when Quentin confronted him about it (implied flipped the fuck out) Tony fired him for being unstable, and was proven right when this prompted Quentin to hack a plan to murder millions and take his rage out on teenage Peter Parker. Notice how in the actual scene of Tony showing off BARF nobody laughs, but when Quentin remembers it there’s a laugh track. It’s heavily implied that he saw things as way worse than they actually were and overreacted. So yes, Tony should have credited him in the first place but a calm conversation would probably have solved it instead of, oh I don’t know, trying to kill half of Europe’s population.

So I suppose you could say Tony created his own villains, but it’s a lot less impressive than it sounds.

“My people have a tale, about a Prince –– much hated by his King –– who was banished to the underworld and jailed there. The evil King gave him the most difficult labor –– working the iron pits.  

Year after year the Prince mined the heavy ore, becoming so strong he could crush pieces of it together with his bare hands. Too late, the King realized his mistake. 

When he struck at the Prince with his finest sword – it broke in half. 

The Prince himself had become strong as iron.” 

–– Iron Man (2008), original script

So we all agree that the mcu ended with endgame except tony lived and got to see Morgan and peter and Harley grow up and wow what a perfect heartwarming way to wrap up 22 movies

RDJ seeing that Sony and Disney are threatening to erase Tom Holland’s Spider-Man from the MCU:

[starkyness]

I like Disney and I like Marvel BUT blatantly defending wrong behaviour and disregarding something that stands against your own likes and dislikes, is probably the biggest flaw of fandom culture in our generation. I have seen people in former friend circles get so defensive about things that should be looked at objectively, that all sense of right and wrong is flushed down the drain just to suit their own narrative.

This happened with a recent Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber thing a few weeks ago. A friend who is a "Bieliber" (I may have spelt that wrong), put up a series of Instagram stories calling Swift a names and using abusive language. When I confronted her about this, she went all defensive and thought Justin had all right to write that stupid ass apology because Swift was the one who brought it online. I'll be honest. I don't even like Taylor. But I knew that everything that went down was wrong for her. And I know when to support someone even if I don't like them.

Speaking up in matters of "likes-dislikes" is generally very subjective. People are entitled to their own opinions of course but throwing tantrums like this when something doesn't go the way you would want to in your fandom is just... annoying. Look at that online petition to remake Game of Thrones.

The more people are emotionally invested in things like these, the harder it is for them to see the truth. Or even look at things with a neutral perspective.
