When everything else about these heroes is forgotten, this is what was still remembered: not their weaknesses, or their rivalries with one another– not their regrets, or their secrets. Not their scars. 

We remembered that when evil rose up, in the name of death or conquest or tyranny, they stood against it. No matter how powerful or terrifying, they stood against it. 

And they prevailed.

Avengers World, Spencer & Hickman, Caselli

im just saying. if jarvis was still alive tony woulda never died. dont ask how i know i just do

[tonystarkdefensesquadpride]

avengers 1 will always remain the superior avengers film. the third act has amazing team dynamics:

tony's face when he realised he's as much as full-tilt diva as loki

tony snarking if the team stopped for drive thru

tony being absolutely sure bruce would show up

bruce showing up

"i'm bringing the party to you."

"i don't see how that's a party."

hulk punching the leviathan in the face is still one of my favourite scenes

"you and i remember budapest very differently."

"call it, captain."

steve calling out strategies and every single one of them listening, even thor

steve, the only man with a shield, choosing to stay with nat who's the least equipped of them all

"and hulk, smash"

"stark. you got a lot of strings."

"just try and keep them off the streets."

later, "nice call, what else you got?"

"well, thor's taking on a squadron down on 6th."

"and he didn't invite me? 😒"

steve giving nat a boost to climb one of the chitauri chariots

tony clearing the path for her

tony going down to help cap, and them fighting in complete sync with one another

thor and hulk taking down a squadron together

hulk smashing thor, and then smirking

steve saving a bunch of civilians on 42nd past madison

clint knocking loki off his chariot with a trick arrow

hulk smashing loki

"jarvis, you ever hear the tale of jonah?"

"i wouldn't consider him a role model."

tony literally flying through a leviathan

jarvis, probably: dumbass

cap and thor fighting side by side

"you ready for another bout?"

"what? you gettin' sleepy?"

tony catching a live nuke midair

"stark. you know that's a one-way trip."

tony telling jarvis to save the rest for the return.

nat holding off until the last moment to close the portal

"come on, stark"

steve looking devastated as he gives the order

the sighs of relief on their faces as tony falls through at the last minute

"son of a gun!"

thor ready to fly up to catch tony

hulk beating him to it

thor and steve's faces when they think for a moment tony's dead

hulk literally screaming tony back to life

"please tell me nobody kissed me."

steve's 😍 look and the gentle "we won."

tony suggesting they eat shawarma

them actually eating shawarma

everything else after this is fake news. the avengers lived happily ever after at the renamed avengers tower

Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it’s breaking

When there are clouds in the sky You’ll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll see the sun come shining thru for you

Robert Downey Jr. sharing what he has with Tony Stark, giving him a family life, a chance for happiness, is what got me emotional every time I think about it 🥺💗

[tonystarkdefensesquadpride]

I know the fandom’s popular take is that Tony decided to figure out time travel all because of Peter, which is not untrue, Tony loves Peter and he felt strongly that he owed it to him to at least try; but this take is also undermining Tony’s character because all you need to ask is if Peter had been alive, would Tony still came round and helped the Avengers and figured out time travel for a chance to get everyone else back, and the answer is undoubtedly a yes. When the possibility was presented to him, no matter how hard his head would be telling him to ignore it, his heart couldn’t look the other way. Remember this is Tony ‘I saw them all dead. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t do all I could.’ Stark, he couldn’t possibly sit back and watch everyone else suffer, knowing there was a way that might help while he enjoyed the comfort of having his family safe. 

This is a character who’s constantly weighed down by survivor guilt, from the first Iron Man ‘I shouldn’t be alive, unless it was for a reason.’, to Age of Ultron when his worst fear was everyone dying because he didn’t do enough. And although frustratingly Endgame didn’t care to mention at all how Tony felt about Stephen giving up the stone for him so he could live while half the universe got dusted, there was a line from Pepper which reflected Tony’s morality and showed us how it hadn’t changed after all these years, ‘but would you be able to rest? [..] Trying to get you to stop has been one of the few failures of my entire life.’ Because that’s who Tony is, he simply can’t stop and walk away especially when knowing he’s one of the few who could do something about it. Tony Stark’s whole arc is him trying to the right thing, he struggles, he makes mistake, but he never stops trying to do what he knows in his heart that is right. I’m not undermining Peter’s importance to Tony, but this take ‘If not for Peter Tony wouldn’t risked it all’ is seriously reducing Tony’s years of character foundation, the truth is, regardless of who he lost or didn’t lost in the snap, when someone presented him a not-out-of-reach possibility to bring everyone back, Tony would still eventually came round and risked his life to do it, because this is Tony Stark. I just feel that this needs to be said.

I think I mentioned a few months back a video I watched that ranked all the mcu iron man suits. Well, I was just irate. They put the IW armor way too low when it is by far one of the most fuckable.

So now, I’m making my own rating and ranking based on how sexy the Iron Man suits are. This will not take into account any “““practical concerns””” because that’s not how we fuck in this house. Not ranking on powers unless they make the suit sexier. Also won’t be counting most of the Iron Legion suits from IM3 because that’s too many and we don’t see all of their asses. Also won’t count War Machine or Rescue armors, or the second Hulkbuster since it was only used by Bruce.

Mark I from Iron Man- Not without a certain appeal I suppose, and it did save our boy, but I can’t help but feel the rust would be … uncomfortable. Would I fuck: no

Mark II from Iron Man and Iron Man 2 - Too silver. Plain. For some reason, my eyes keep going to the feet, and I don’t like it. Would I fuck: no

Mark III from Iron Man - Now we’re cooking with fire. Marl III is where the suits started getting sexy, as you can obviously tell. The shoulders are a bit off-putting, but much less noticeable in action. Would I fuck: yes

Mark IV from Iron Man 2 - I’m not IN LOVE with this one. Aesthetically, I think it’s a step down from its predecessor III and I don’t love what’s happening with the stomach. Also the … you know what, I won’t say it. Would I fuck: … maybe

Mark V from Iron Man 2 - I normally don’t go for the predominantly-silver suits, I’m more of a gold gal (what can I say, I have expensive tastes). But the suit armor is hot as hell. I love the suit-up scenes, arguably one of Tony’s best, and the plating is really hot. Also, when he curls his fingers before looking up at Vanko, they kind of look like claws, and … well, I’m weak. Would I fuck: yes

Mark VI from Iron Man 2 - An elaboration on Mark 4, this one switched to the triangle-shaped reactor, which I was not a fan of. Still not in love with the stomach plating, either. Would I fuck: maybe

Mark VII from The Avengers - Nothing particularly special about this one on its own that sets it apart from the others, but the way it forms around Tony as he’s free-falling through the sky? *chefs kiss* Nice. Would I fuck: yes

Mark XLII from Iron Man 3 - The next one that wasn’t an Iron Legion suit … and it kind of disappoints. Too much gold, and I don’t like the whole … ribbed stomach thing. You’re not an armadillo, Tony. Would I fuck: maybe, if I was REALLY feeling slutty

Mark XLIII from Avengers: Age of Ultron - Honestly? Kind of an underrated suit. Probably because of the shitty movie it’s in. It has the stomach thing, but in terms of color and smoothness, this is pretty nice. Would I fuck: yes

Mark XLIV from Avengers: Age of Ultron - aka the Hulkbuster. … I know what you’re all thinking. I’d give it a go. Would I fuck: damn I’ll try

Mark XLV from Avengers: Age of Ultron - Another underrated gem from Age of Ultron! It’s very sleek, which I like, and nothing stands out to me that’s bad/odd in terms of design. Overall, pretty hot! Would I fuck: yes

Mark XLVI from Captain America: Civil War - This movie is painful, but I would happily be in plenty of pain after a round with this suit, glory hallelujah! The ony complaint is that it’s a bit bulkier than I like, and the color is kind of … purplish? But it’s so smooth when it walks … Would I fuck: yes

Mark XLVII from Homecoming - I don’t fuck with the silver, not gonna lie. If I’m gonna get fucked by an Iron Man suit, I want a proper red-gold-silver ratio, which is like 65% red 30% gold and maybe 5% silver. Ish. Would I fuck: maybe

Mark L from Infinity War - This is what prompted my original response. This was way too low on the video I watched. This armor isn’t just sexy, this armor fucks. The nanotech it’s made with means it maybe could fuck??? And honestly, let the Mark L fuck. Let the Mark L fuck me. Would I fuck: YES

Mark LXXXV from Avengers: Endgame - This is bulkier than the L, which I normally don’t go for, but I kind of like it here??? It looks all  … muscley. Not quite as extravagant as the previous tho, which is still my fave, although I like the colors better here. Would I fuck: yes

And now, to rank them, less-great to wanna see how fast I can get my bra off:

15. & 14. Mark I and Mark II (tied)

13. Mark VI (IM2 & Avengers) 

12. Mark VI (IM2)

11. Mark XLVII (Homecoming)

10. Mark XLII (IM3)

9. Mark VII (Avengers)

8. Mark XLIV / the Hulkbuster (AoU)

7. Mark III (IM)

6. Mark XLIII (AoU)

5. Mark XLVI (CA:CW)

4. Mark V (IM2)

3. Mark XLV (AoU)

2. Mark LXXXV (Endgame)

1. Mark L (IW)
